If you gave every house solar panels, a battery and a heat pump, you could probably semi-retire all of the nuclear reactors.

Does that mean he'll be twice as good this season?

Beehaw was actually my first threadiverse instance. It didn't become my main, because you all are way too over the top. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that in a bad way, just that I needed a bit of chaos in my life and this instance is like cotton wool. When I left, it was so that I could partake in football discussions and life outside of this instance took a minute to adjust to. However there was one thing I took away from my experience, it's that this instance was full of good, compassionate people. So it's no wonder that despite my two major stints on other instances (shout-out to lemmy.tf and lazysoci.al), I always made sure I was active here. Even with this particular community. If something is super technical, I tend to take it to programming.dev, otherwise I come here because I want to have more humanist discussions about things and how they impact people and I love that. I'm glad to see that you're all doubling down on that.

Off-topic, I think you're doing the beehaw community a disservice by not updating the instance. I know you're waiting on SubLinks, but who knows when that will be ready, in the meantime, Lemmy has added some very good and very useful things that improve the quality of life of users, admins and moderators.

This is the kind of AI we need.

At least edit out the username 😤

It'll be interesting, because Google have spent a lot of money to maintain dominance and no doubt Bing will try and fill the vacuum. Now is a good time for search engine investment. I suspect that Google will try and make some concessions to appease the law. Expect to hear rumours of Chromium and even Android becoming non profits.

Better for Linux? I'm not sure I would say it is. Better for the world in general? When you compare things like power consumption, you can definitely see that in some use cases (the average user), ARM is superior. But for Linux? Maybe by default owing to the fact that it's more modern. As for RISC-V, the core is open source and "all" the extensions are proprietary, so it's not as open source as it pretends to be. But it's definitely better than what we're currently accustomed to as mainstream.

I have problems with this because first of all, you don't differentiate between people seeking asylum and people immigrating here. The latter come here as students and workers and the former come here to escape persecution in their country. The idea that huge swathes of criminals are flooding into the country isn't true and has never been true. Do some people come to the UK and commit crimes? Yes. Do British born people commit crimes? Yes. Should either reflect on anyone but the individuals? No.

I've seen at least one journalist say that they think so.

ACAB!

The way that Americans act like life is cheap and there's an acceptable amount of death is weird to me. Here's some data to counter your point.

The United States has a significantly higher rate of gun-related deaths compared to the UK and Australia. Here's a breakdown:

• USA: Approximately 40,000 gun deaths annually (all causes)
• UK: Approximately 50 gun deaths annually (all causes)
• Australia: Approximately 250 gun deaths annually (all causes) Important Notes:
• These numbers represent deaths from all causes related to guns, including homicides, suicides, and accidents.
• The US has a population roughly five times that of the UK, and nearly fourteen times that of Australia.
• Australia enacted stricter gun control laws in 1996 following a mass shooting, which is believed to have contributed to a significant decrease in gun deaths.

Here's the table showing gun related deaths per capita (rate per 100,000 people) in the US, UK and Australia

Country	Gun deaths per capita (per 100,000 people)
USA	11.94%
UK	0.07%
Australia	0.95%

United States has a significantly higher rate of gun-related deaths compared to the UK and Australia. As you can see, the US has a gun death rate of 11.94 per 100,000 people, whereas the UK and Australia have much lower rates of 0.07% and 0.95% per 100,000 people, respectively.
