I think it’s more nuanced than that as the technologies needs time to mature and the supply chains need time to establish. The price of renewables, especially solar and wind, has plummeted faster than anyone ever expected, so arguably it’s cheaper (economically) now.
There’s also the saying “the best time to buy a house is always 50 years ago, the second best time is now”. I don’t see much benefit in regretting yesterday’s decisions.
Little to none so far. This might change in the future, but not that quickly.
The additional renewable capacity added year on year is not enough to cover the additional electrical load, which originates mainly from 2 things: transport/infrastructure (including EVs, data centres, AI) & environmental loads (more heatwaves in populated cities, where people then need to cool).
As far as I understood, 2024 was a substantial year for the environmental side of the equation, otherwise additional renewables installations would have been able to cover just about all the additional power load.
I use this primarily, it’s more than enough for basic tracking and UI is good. A little unpolished at times, but I am yet to find anything on F-Droid which is better.
Thanks for the response! Is it limited to encoding services then, so if I’m only dealing with streaming common media file types (e.g. MKV, MP4) is it still a problem? I’m not dealing with a ridiculous amount of media, so I could outsource the encoding process alone if needed…
I’m specifically looking into this at the moment as I have been gifted a pi 5.
Most websites say avoid trying to host jellyfin on a pi 5 (codec and hardware issues are frequently noted). Do you have experience that shows these are non-issues?
This is not correct. Bluetooth is a radio frequency communication tool. RF is part of the electromagnetic spectrum and does, in fact, "move’ at the speed of light.
I never stated any positive or negative association in my comment

Cocaine has also ruined many lives. Both are horrible and some people cannot control their consumption.
I was reading a story recently about an Italian plumber’s brother doing big things with less equipment.
Rude!
I’m lost in the air travel debate and it sucks. Ignoring the strike and pilots specific concerns, IMHO:
Smarter regulation is needed, but the finite details will likely never suit a majority of people.
I would argue poo would be the opposite of a higher tier material like gold. Spit maybe?
Would it not be economic suicide to do so?
Obviously, more plants are needed to combat the destructive USB industry.
Everyone rigs elections
While I understand the sentiment, such action doesn’t match the long term goals of the bloc to unify the continent. Another solution needs to be found to ensure single bad actors cannot hold up actions which severely impact the remaining stakeholders - I have no idea how it could be done though.
Xoxo, Another useless armchair observer
Thanks for the suggestion, I started looking into LaTeX during my studies but never went through with learning it. Others have suggested Scribus, is there a reason why you might opt for LaTeX over that for this case?
Because the Republicans played the populist game better. This is not the first or last time people will willingly vote their own downfall into power.
