Stellantis abandons hydrogen fuel cell development
  • Ideally there are no harmful combustion byproducts when used in ICE, the reality is probably less harmful combustion byproducts, not none Hydrogen is lossy, Conversions being inefficient, Molecules small enough to migrate from containment, Embrittlement of pipes & tanks
    3 or more times the infrastructure per watt delivered, a huge investment in resources
    I suppose if there is excess generating capacity, hydrogen could be used as a storage medium for night time

  • Meta’s new content policies risk fueling more mass violence and genocide
  • I got an email from Meta a couple of days ago about an account I had been locked out of for a several years, after logging out, trying to recover my password, which they wouldn't allow without me providing a copy of my drivers license, which wasn't going to be possible, since I made up all the details other than the throw away gmail account
    I had been restricted & banned for posting meme's or trolling magats on several occasions prior...

    I'm guessing, there was a mass unlocking of previously blocked accounts

  • Is Elon Musk's government efficiency drive legal?
  • No We have several systems find waste, fraud & abuse
    Inspector General
    Government Accounting Office Office of Management & Budget
    All of which are routinely ignored by both houses of Congress
    If a mandate actually existed the Congress would have no problem actually doing their job & writing some law
    It's no coincidence that every system Elmo is hacking is investigating illegal activity within his companies/government contracts
    Another tell tale sign is that DoD, the traditional home of waste, fraud & abuse isn't the primary target

  • El Salvador offers to house violent US criminals and deportees of any nationality in unprecedented deal | CNN
  • The way I remember it, Bush deported some Salvadoran gang members from LA, who showed their friends in the homeland how to do the gang thing & everyone came back to the USA for fun n profit
    MS13 was born
    We certainly have supported a series of despotic regimes in El Salvador for at least the last century, in support of various corporate interests
    Isn't Marco one of those anchor babies? :D

  • Doesn't Trump's assault on accessibility violate the ADA?
  • The 1% is trying to take over the systems, so they can reduce their costs to corrupt, the ROI on buying elections is pretty good...

    The idea of the law is potentially fair
    In practice the engaging narrative wins
    I'm glad that the legal opposition is fighting
    Flooding the zone makes it into a battle of legal resources

  • We need better moderation tools for taking better control on how we use internet
  • Moderation for adults is gonna be tough
    Who is going to submit to being under someone else's control
    There are lots of tools available
    All require discipline to use consistently

    I have my own organizational scheme to reduce distractions
    No notifications on the desktop, Three hidden panels: Time/calendar/weather, Launchers, Virtual desktops/window switcher/system tray Different browser & email for different tasks
    Virtual desktops Money, doctors, work
    Music, books, games [no email or browser] News, critique of peoples opinions,
    Forums & sites I'm testing, repair info, linux stuff

    All the tabs on the different browsers relate to the purpose of the VD
    If I miss, I move whatever it is to where it "belongs"
    Keeps me from being stuck doing one thing too long or ignoring things I should spend time on

  • It can happen here: Everyone who realizes with proper alarm that Trump’s reëlection is a deeply dangerous moment in American life must think hard about where we are -- [Opinion]
  • There is only Corporate media

    Very early we started allowing the parties to administer the the primaries to avoid having to raise taxes to pay for elections
    We outsourced elections to the Fan(atic)s because they cost less, They still get paid in proximity to power
    Having the occasional binary popularity contest to decide who should be in charge may not be the best method

  • Timothy Snyder: What does it mean that Donald Trump is a fascist? - We should expect him to try to cling to power until death, and create a cult of January 6th martyrs
  • It been all over since the guy[shrub] who lied us into two 20 year wars & brought us the Patriot act, got re elected
    Haliburton won, the DoD who can't pass an audit continues to have an open checkbook & ever increasing budget

    Then we moved to Hope & Change, that turned out to be great for banks & insurance companies

    Every cycle is portrayed as vitally important with a platform of
    We Suck Less
    The Donor Class calls the tune

    Allowing money to overtly be speech removed the pretense of representation for the rest of us
    The expectations have changed
    Avoiding the appearance of impropriety
    Degraded to Maintain Plausible Deniability
    Eroded to
    Prove it in a Rigged Court of Law Beyond any Conceivable Doubt no Matter How Absurd

    Enabling all this is a solid 1/3rd of the population that have reduced empathy
    Energized by the various corporate media that have been consolidated into unanimous support for our not so benevolent overlords
