  • I’m all for wind/solar expansion, but we shouldn’t underplay the challenges of keeping grid stability with pure renewables with the technology we have available today. As it stands, I think it would be great and borderline necessary to also expand nuclear power production alongside renewables for now.

    For a small country like Sweden, producing everything in nuclear would destroy the market mechanism on pricing, leaving then with a monopoly.

    Nobody except for maybe our far right party SD is calling for this, and the odds of us going this far backwards is close to zero. The amount of nuclear production needed to render all other means of production up here obsolete and uncompetitive is insane.





  • You get a lot of recommendations for Mint here, but I’d like to toss in a recommendation for Pop!_OS. Also based on Ubuntu without all the crap. I would say the biggest difference between pop and mint is the UI, as Mint comes standard with cinnamon and pop with Gnome (soon cosmic) as their DE’s.

    Just take a look at those two and choose one of them, they are both great distros, and absolutely the two I would recommend to just about anyone. Easy to use and very straightforward for new people trying out Linux.




  • Copied from their front page:

    Why Rhino Linux?

    Rhino Linux re-invents the Ubuntu experience as a rolling release distribution atop a stable Desktop Environment. Pacstall is at the very heart of the distribution, providing essential packages such as the Linux kernel, Firefox, Rhino Linux specific applications and theming.

    We use sane defaults. The XFCE Desktop environment is used for its stable and rock-solid base. Pacstall, our package manager of choice will always provide the latest software, even software that is not available in the Ubuntu repositories, and our custom XFCE configuration provides a traditional desktop that just works, so you can instantly begin using your computer.


  • I’m sorry, but your parallel shows how you’ve got this wrong.

    It’s ok to demonstrate against Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and even countries like Russia, China, or USA.

    It is NOT ok to demonstrate against Muslims, Jews, bhuddists, or Russians, Chinese, or Americans.

    The KKK marching in white robes are classed as hate speech, because they hate a group of people.

    Burning the Qur’an is not hate speech because it shows a hatred for Islam, not Muslims.

    If we start to ban stuff like this we’re heading towards a slippery slope we don’t want to go down.

    HOWEVER, I believe you could see it more as hate speech when it’s obviously directed at, for example, Turkish people when you burn it outside their embassy. And that’s what this discussion should be about, because it’s a whole different thing burning the Qur’an at “plattan” in central Stockholm compared to outside a countries’ embassy. I haven’t paid much attention to Rasmussen either, but if his intent is “Muslims are bad” instead of “limit amount of refugees”, I believe that can be classified as hate speech as well.



  • I’ve been working with pretty much top tier vision tech, and it’s still so far off from being viable enough. It’s insane how well it works, but to use it in a dynamic environment driving around on roads… Pure madness to believe it will be enough with only cameras in like the next 10-15 years at least (imo).

    I bought a Tesla despite my hatred for Musk because it was the only reasonable alternative when it came to electric cars where I live at the time, and got one of the old ones with lidar and cameras. I have this super weak shimmer of hope that they will go back to using both again, since the warning systems and their “autopilot” feel way shittier than it used to since they’ve allegedly patched away the lidar.








  • The article is quite interesting, but I wonder how if the accident rating accounts for times when it’s disabled just moments before impact? From personal experience, I was a second away from disaster yesterday when my M3 decided to breakcheck a truck on the highway because one of the cameras got disabled due to dirt or a ray of sunshine or something. Granted, I don’t have FSD, but just the glorified lane-assist version of autopilot.
