i am no artist but also can’t force my definition of art on anyone: if her work is considered legitimate art so be it. but at least i am hopefully allowed to doubt that fact …

pledges and WEF meetings dont mean $hit. business is business

nicki minaj is also successful. is she performing art ? i doubt so …

wow, moderation has tightened up during those few months i was away.

anyone who likes something I don’t is an idiot!

idiot in my regards ? ofc. idiot in general ? not really. this world is in fact run by idiocy. am i special ? not necessarily … but i am different. hope i am allowed such trait :/

Removed by mod

hope they cut food and water supplies on them once and for all this isn’t fun anymore

yea configured, not hardcoded, because its a badly sought feature for me lol

yea man i feel u. i do take offenses too but idc much. whats annoying its that it gets distracting and sometimes the reply isn’t worth an answer and i just like to move on

They’re not “powered” by fresh water

tbh i am not responsible for what u did understand. ur mind, ur rules. i hate to repeat myself but what i meant is that using fresh water to fill the locks passively using gravity albeit it is tempting it is in fact a waste of fresh water. so saving fresh water must be a priority and instead we could actively fill the locks using sea water, but at an energy cost, yet it is durable since energy is abundant (especially clean forms of thereof). tbh i am waiting on the day when i can mute notifications of replies to my comments, such a distraction really…

how about (ol’reliable.jpeg) megapacks? with enough storage and solar capacity to cover surge consumption ?

very reliable cloud

why can’t the US solve navigation issues in the Mississippi when there’s a massive drought? And then blaming them poor people in Mississippi

that is a federal problem for which the federal government is responsable. Likewise, i was accusing the government of Panama, not its people

like all old century inventions, the thing isn’t sustainable since fresh water is finite, and the next thing close to regenerating those fresh reserves is energy-hungry desalination. might as well adress the problem head-on and power the canal with a power plant to actively fill the locks with sea water…but since its run by a third world country, i doubt they would do anything about it and instead act complacent and let things run their course

companies want the best of both worlds: they want subsidies from society, and instead of paying it back by creating employement with reasonable living wages, they cheat the system by hiring migrants…a society can’t stay functional that way in the long term

sure, each got their preferences

i think sync as a reddit client used to have more features than it is now but i am still not sure, at least the reddit official app has an extra feature like the mute comment notification feature, etc… also i dont think people are getting their money worth off the app (and the app pricing isn’t supposed to reflect its worth either) : dev living in america where high rent and taxes are rampant: why should that trickle to me as a user, especially when i am not earning an american wage…if 1000 ad views pay for 1$, then paying 10$ as a yearly fee is more of a reasonable way to monetize ur app while sparing ur user the ad abuse. European devs could provide more affordable apps for Lemmy, like the case of Boost. Also i am not aginst proprietary apps at all. In fact, proprietary apps are way better than Lemmy foss apps

its a whole cult out there, the sync community. Also sync was released almost 2 months ago charging 2$ per month or 20$ per year with no major feature upgrades in sight. In the third party app realm, the more ,the merrier: I dont find sync intuitive, and Connect dev is on vacay, plus Boost loads way more feed than the latter. The rest of apps aren’t much pleasing for me, and ios apps are just lemmy apps for vegans or something…I dont know if any others 3p devs would join like Bacon reader or relay

lets see how this would pan out. also europeans didn’t make their ariane rockets as profitable as spacex did, and never achieved booster vertical landing. Spacex has a record of delivering on their promises, so they kinda should be taken seriously.

they aren’t creating any value: oil will be irrelevant because it got so much weaponized that it incentivized spending for renewables. Oil rich middle eastern countries invest in laughable assets like F1 teams and airlines, anything that would promote oil use. Airlines will ultimatly go instinct once SpaceX starts shuttling people across the globe in less than one hour, instead of what used to be 12 hour flights (less than 8 hour flights shouldn’t be feasable by Starship, or aren’t economically viable). Such countries have alot of money and just keep investing in trends.
