Because usually it works, the out of the box deb + snap + flatpak, polished experience cozy look with some presets to minimice friction, + ubuntu LTS its a nice pack.
I really wish to could use Wayland, but there is too much problems or bugs related to the software I use for work and also play. I will test it again with this new version Blender (that was one of that software with problems).
In general, most repositories use old stable versions of Blender. And often folks are reduced to using snap to maintain version specific Compatibility with add-ons etc.
Also, getting the most out of Intel+RTX CUDA card render machines sometimes means booting into windows for proper driver support. Sad but true... =3
He bought this way with the money he earned in the previous business (Zip2 for example, dont know if he used the money of his family to start Zip2 but he made it grow various order of magnitude if that is what happened). Yes he wasn't a founder of Tesla, but the success of Tesla its mostly due to him.
Maybe not needed but could also help to avoid that behavior in real life. Maybe people don't want to see it just to forget that shit happens, unless some bad behavior is glorified I don't see any negative effects on show it on a film, book, whatever.
Yea, their objective is to optimize labor costs and increase profit margins. It is an objective that is diametrically opposed to our well being in the long run.
Don't confuse a state of affairs where the capitalists are having difficulty replacing us (thus reducing pressure on us) with a general beneficence, their relationship to us is purely transactional and we are disposable. Have solidarity with your class.
Thanks non-people-smart 10%, the "right" it's only trying to not close the remaining nuclear plants. I didn't hear anybody call to burn more coal (that will be stupid, specially in Spain). New modern nuclear plants are needed to have a more balanced energy pool, and not depend so much in natural gas. Anyway there is no confirmation yet on what happened, we will see.
Thanks, I know. At which point in this comment chain were we discussing the president of Spain though? Buxato stated they didn't hear "anybody", not "anybody in Spain".
Richard Tice, the Reform party’s deputy leader and energy spokesman, said the events in Spain should be a warning to Britain and showed the risks of net zero.
He said: “We need to know the exact causes but this should be seen as a wake-up call to the eco-zealots.
“Power grids need to operate within tight parameters to remain stable. Wind and solar outputs by contrast, vary hugely over long and short periods so they add risk to the system. The UK’s grid operators and our Government should take heed.”
That's the same Richard Tice that blamed a substation fire on Net Zero and wants to tax renewable power to subsidise non-renewables.
> The core priority of grid services right now is getting power restored, rather than establishing the narrow chain of causal events, which will take weeks or likely months. That will be more than enough time for the narrative to be set in stone; immune to whatever reality emerges from careful investigation.
Wait until you find Spain it's the 2nd most mountainous region in Europe.
Hint: anything non-coast can have dry summers and cold winters, brutal in the mountain regions such as Asturias and Leon, were they burnt coal like crazy, and having temperatures below 0 was and it's still the norm, not the exception. And not just the south of Cantabria, Asturias and so; the Castilles, Aragon and the mountain regions can amaze tourist as if they were phonied expecting a 'sunny' Spain like the beaches.
Mostly humid and foggy panoramas with mountains; and hot and dry summers in the Castilles; but it's like Ohio and the inner USA: you have extremes in both sides. Scorching sun and crazy cold winters, and yet the corn -wheat in Spain- raises like nothing.
So, one valid approach for one region can be void for another one. You can't except to set a global energy policy that works everywhere. Kinda like the US; not everything it's like Texas or Florida.
And, yes, we had tons of dams too near the Tagus and Duero rivers, they can produce tons of power too.
Nowadays, well, I'm pro nuclear, coal was something obsolete since the 80's and 90's.
Coal in Spain was indeed phased out even before wind+solar was a thing. It was not economically viable against imported energy sources such as oil and gas.
