How messed up are things in the UK if that’s something that makes you feel proud?

The ADL’s response is included in the article. It’s predictably petulant, but they didn’t go that far.

The greatest humiliation.

If any country (with exceptions) is behind on nuclear power, then the whole world is behind. Not good!

Yes, but that was in 2002, long after his term in office.

Barak Obama was named the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize laureate nine months after his inauguration. Subsequently, he used a drone to murder an American citizen, among a litany of other atrocities.

Lol I know what you mean. Maybe I am speaking more to the ideal of the home network printer than real life. My experience with them over the last twelve years or so hasn’t been as terrible as yours, but it hasn’t been perfect either.

Hopefully that path is mostly precluded if an open source project like Yunohost is used as a basis.

If self-hosting is going to become commonplace, then it needs to be easier than setting up a network printer. People should be able to just buy a computer (maybe a laptop for integral screen and UPS) preloaded with something like Yunohost, but with a sleek GUI. It has to have good wizards that walk you through everything including setting up a domain and email.

That is not true. I’m working on a hydrogen refueling project right now with a steel, ASME code storage vessel. I asked the manufacturer specifically and they confirmed that hydrogen embrittlement is not a concern and does not affect the lifetime of the vessel.

I’m not so concerned about the carbon footprint of battery manufacturing as I am with the broader externalities associated with the battery lifecycle. This article is a few years old, but it provides a relevant, sobering assessment of the problem. Hydrogen powered vehicles make sense now because they avoid that problem. They’re also a better choice for anyone whose driving needs would outpace overnight charging of a BEV at home (or anyone with a living situation that precludes it). The current policy of exclusively transitioning the fleet to BEVs is at best a kludge for bad energy policy.

I do not think the US or Israel actually have good intentions, but I doubt that the pier has anything to do with off-shore oil or gas exploitation. What purpose would it serve when the oil or gas could be brought to a fully developed port that already exists?

You’re not really describing a problem with hydrogen powered vehicles. You’re describing the problem with the way we’ve been trying to generate power free of greenhouse gas emissions. As long as the policy makers keep myopically insisting that we only do it with certain renewables, it doesn’t matter if battery electric vehicles are actually more efficient or not. So, on balance, the relative inefficiency of a hydrogen powered fleet is more than made up for by avoiding a massive stream of battery waste that everyone seems to be ignoring.

No it doesn’t. It’s a well understood, predictable phenomenon that is reasonably addressed in any application involving hydrogen.

Hydrogen embrittlement is a solved problem. You just design for it. And the grid is not there to support a transition of ICE vehicle fleet to battery electric. A significant build out of infrastructure is required especially for recharging battery powered long haul trucks within reasonable times.

If Biden really wanted to stick it to the Chinese auto industry, he’d fund a national build out of hydrogen refueling infrastructure and substantial subsidies for fuel cell production.

Politicians from bourgeois parties are going to serve bourgeois interests. Nobody should expect anything different from them.

Seems kind of spurious to call lobbying sabotage as if the politicians being lobbied are machines and not human beings doing what they’ve been elected to do as nominally bourgeois party members.

Interesting. Lemmy.world is running 0.19.3, but my instance is still stuck on 0.18.2. I wonder why Lemmy would have lost ability to format hashtags in titles nicely.

I created a bug report: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/2448

It seems like there is a problem with whatever Lemmy UI you’re using. The post is formatted fine in the default Lemmy UI with the hashtags showing as normal hyperlinks:

I’m aware that hashtags don’t have a function in Lemmy, but the post is originally from Mastodon. Furthermore, in spoken English sometimes people will add “hashtag” as a prefix to words and phrases for emphasis. That said, @dessalines@lemmy.ml et al should definitely add hashtag functionality to Lemmy. It could be useful for post flair, for example, besides compatibility with the rest of the fediverse.

Sorry if you don’t like cross posting. I think it’s a nice feature that helps more people see posts and find communities. It also helps me interact with commenters when I make a post originally to Pixelfed or Mastodon.
