    I don't support most new nuclear projects, but saying "it never has and never will work without massive subsidies" is asinine. I live in Ontario where roughly half our electricity comes from Nuclear, and that helped keep the cost reasonable for over a generation. France has also seen great success.

    It's an automatic 30 days suspension and 14 day impound. They can (and almost certainly will) extend those. We'll have to see where the trial goes, but in previous cases they've lost their cars.

    I agree with your reservation about Manjaro. However, you did get one thing wrong:

    They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips…

    That was Pop!_OS (unless it happened a second time??)

    It's an automatic suspension and impounding. It will almost certainly be extended and other punishments will be handed down, but those repercussions hit immediately, no questions asked.

    IMHO, he's always been "Left of Center (for an American)" or maybe neo-Liberal. I would never consider him a Progressive. Now, as we're seeing more progressive lawmakers and some progressive policies being spotlit, the Overton Window is expanding, and he's staying right where he's always been.

    Has Mozilla done sometime to deserve this skepticism? They were founded on open-source and AFAIK have continued to support open-source. Mozilla is far from a perfect organization, but if this project was a success I think it would be out of character for them to keep it closed-source.

    I'd say at least half if those would get them sued for Trademark infringement. Once again, this is AI plagairising, but this time it's with obviously trademarked names.

    I was just trying to refute your assertion that, "Trade ins and selling old phones doesn’t really reduce e-waste." Obviously some used phones are going to be bought by people who need a replacement, and if a used phone wasn't an option, they'd buy new.

    Those aren't unpurchased new phones though. As you point out, they're discontinued, discounted and sold.

    I was only trying to refute that, "Trade ins and selling old phones doesn’t really reduce e-waste." I'm the same as you, buying used phones, and if I didn't have that option I would be buying new phones instead.
