  • I generally agree except the part about independence from petrostates : the US is now a net exporter of fossil fuels with the fracking boom, they’re intervening over Hormuz only for those specific plants making those niche byproducts and because market prices are related to local US prices (and due to Israeli pressure).

    About your solar grid argument, another that is, in my opinion, valid this time why the switch hasn’t happened is that when switching grids, all options should be studied. The least polluting option I saw is a mix between solar, wind and nuclear. With as few batteries as possible and load shifting maximization.


  • I hate the enshittification too.

    But the cold hard truth is that is seems to at least somewhat help with the funding of the engine’s development all the forks also rely on…

    We all need to find another way to make funding browsers work. I don’t know if that means getting some of the nicher browsers get closer to a workable state (ladybird comes to mind, although I’ve never studied it, I don’t know if their architecture is any good) so that people switch over and they’re easier to maintain as the code is newer and hopefully learned from past mistakes enough to be easier to keep working, or keep firefox forks and figure out how to stop spreading our efforts.

    At some point we also need to get web devs to stop ignoring the look of pages outside of just chrome, it’ll bite them back just like IE back in the day.
