@kravietz It seems the cases where there is clearly wrongdoing, the guilty so rarely pay for their mistakes. DuPont is also no more, its another company also with the name of DuPont, created in the 3 way spinoff of another company called DowDuPont.

Just like Union Carbide no longer "exists" so it can't have responsibility for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhopal_disaster

Its not black and white, good and evil, because despite slimy behavior these chemical companies do also manufacture the foundation of most infrastructure and technology.

@kravietz We have this "debate": Germany wants to give us its UF6 so we could upcycle it.

Only we have the tech to do this effectively, because we (somehow) didn't wreck our nuclear industry with all other ones and Russian (actually Soviet) nuclear engineers are fucking heroes.

Germany did, and it has all this spent fuel lying around ever since, and they don't know what to do with it, and we do, so they gave it to us.

The Greenpeace loonies immediately jumped at it. "Boohoo, Russia is not a nuclear landfill".

WTF are you talking about. They are literally giving us free fuel, you illiterate pricks.

Two-step plan, basically.

0) Completely decarbonize electric power production (and produce more power to account for step 1)
1) Move EVERYTHING to electric power

Watch out, Chrome Safe Browsing was quite privacy aware so far, it just checked URL hashes. Now it's full blown real-time monitoring of what you actually browse... and link it to your Google account.

Not that it did anything else if you had your browsing history synced to cloud 😂

@gretathunberg This is because Germany dismantled its nuclear power plan.

I'm sorry, but this is just reality hitting home. If you are anti-nuclear, you're pro-coal.

New coal plant Datteln 4 test runs disrupt German power prices

By the way, by 2022 Germany plans to kill 70 TWh zero-emissions supply from nuclear power. Guess what will replace it?

Spotify is buying up all the popular podcasts and removing them from the commons in order to drive you to their platform.

Podcasts have somehow stayed open access, built on standards, and just (mostly) work. Moving them to a proprietary platform just so a few people (ie: not you) can make money is bad for everyone who isn't making money. (ie: you.)

Now worldwide governments have suspended all the burqa ban and other face cover nonsense, can we quickly switch to anti-facial recognition masks before they manage to catch up? cnet.com/news/your-face-mask-s
