  • Bio gas is a lot better than coal and fossil oil for the mean time. But long term basically the whole world should be using heatpumps for heating and cooling, they are incredibly efficient and outperform any other system on every metric. Especially because electricity will become dirt cheap in a few years/decades.

    The only reason they arent installed in every house yet is the fossil fuel lobby and their bought politicians, but even they are slowly realizing that its the inevitable solution.

    which also takes a lot of dirty manufacturing to build

    Solar compensates its production+installation footprint in around a year see here for the relevant numbers from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory

    Wind power plants compensate theirs in a matter of a few months. See this part of Climate Towns latest video analyzing the typical propaganda that made you falsely believe that https://youtu.be/wBC_bug5DIQ?t=185

    Nuclear is obviously stupid and does indeed cost way too much and take way too much effort for how bad of a deal you get out of it when its done.


  • I wrote a somewhat lengthy “Introduction to Matrix/Element” comment for someone here recently. If you arent paranoid, then you can ignore the sections about not using and removing the web client session after account creation. Let me know if you have any trouble.

    The comment in question: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/16768943

    To use element like discord (with servers and voice channels) you will create a Space(=discord-server) and then add Rooms(=discord-channels) to it.

    Normal rooms are usually text only but you can still start a video call (doesnt have video on by default) inside one which all room members will get notified for.

    To get something like voice channels you create a “video room” which people can then join and it acts like a voice channel that also has screen sharing and video functionality.

    There is full permission management so you can give everyone in the space access to all rooms or use levels like guest/member/moderator/admin/owner etc or you make it invite only. Lots of options.












  • Lemmy is a link aggregator. Thats also what reddit is. Just a bunch of communities with link and image posts that have comment sections. After picking a server the average passive user on a lemmy mobile app will never really be confronted with the federated nature of lemmy again. Its only once you start posting and enganging with communities that you notice they all have weird different urls.
