  • Ebook reader with a good UI

    Depends on what you call a good UI, for me what I want from an e-reader is to emulate a real book as much as possible, and the native google books app does that pretty well.

    Does your workplace have a union?
  • Chloe Chloe Now 100%

    We have a students' union in my college that organises strikes. It's mostly in solidarity with profs (It's france, profs have large scale strikes at least a few times a year, especially with libs in power); but sometimes they organize strikes on student issues too.

    Yea from an individualistic perspective it makes sense, but ultimately you're supporting quasi-orwellian surveillance practices by using it. The US is far from squeaky clean but it pales in comparison.

    I'm usually weary when "Futuristic" and "China" are in the same sentence, vis-à-vis privacy concerns and state overreach and all that.

    Not that they're alone in that mind you, but they do particularly tend to not hold back at all.

    His videos are quite good but I hate how unskeptical he is of technological advancement (his opinions on AI, or the possibility of immortality for instance). He lacks nuance and it's takes like these that make people disappointed in how far tech goes.

    What games are you currently playing?
  • Chloe Chloe Now 100%

    I had stopped playing video games a few years ago, I would probably play skyrim for nostalgia whenever I go back to my parents' house and that was about it. But I downloaded stardew valley a week ago out of boredom and I love it. Does anyone have similar suggestions for relaxing "casual" games (Linux, I should say)?

  • [Discussion Thread] Your opinion on Nuclear Power
  • Chloe Chloe Now 100%

    I'm not going to disagree on the sustainability of nuclear on the long run but we still need a few decades for other green energy sources to be consistently implemented. There still is a lot of technical details to work out before wave energy is developed on any large scale, and solar/wind are fairly polluting and expensive to manufacture and maintain. Unfortunately getting rid of nuclear now is a huge coin toss. Say a government decides to close nuclear powers to replace them with a green source, it's not too far fetch to expect that a future fiscally conservative administration is just going to replace them with fossil fuels.

  • What do you think of mainstream opposition to nuclear energy amongst green political groups? I'm of the opinion that it's far from a durable solution but shouldn't be phased out as long as we don't have a clear and viable plan to implement other renewable energy sources. What's your take?

    I think we're giving him too much credit. To me it just feels that he's such an egomaniac he thinks he can pull it off. For one he is vocally antivax and prolife, if he's trying to split the democratic vote he's not exactly doing it right.
