- Comment on The Myth That Wind Farms Are a Guillotine for Birds Is Being Debunked by Hard Data 2 days ago:
However I feel like everyone who meets you is pro killing of the conversation.
How do?
- Comment on The Myth That Wind Farms Are a Guillotine for Birds Is Being Debunked by Hard Data 2 days ago:
It’s obvious parties who are against renewables will use this problem to their advantage acting like the dead birds are the thing care about. Obviously switching from wind energy to fossil energy is not desirable, and luckily fossil fuels aren’t the only alternative. Birds prefer to travel during the day, when there is also solar power for example. This is not a black and white discussion where you are either in favour of killing birds or in favour of saving the planet. Halting climate change and limiting the amount of animals dying for bad reasons are not mutually exclusive goals.

The sky is never pure white, and i’m not saying all birds will fly into them if the sky and the windmill are a perfect match. But at the same time, if it were a bright colour less birds would fly into it. Collisions will still happen. It also has to do with the blades rotating, but also that is easier to calculate when the blades are very visible. Still the best thing is to do turn them off sometimes. Best case scenario would be that you can switch over to a source that is also renewable.

Before anyone starts shouting windturbines don’t kill birds because they saw this headline without reading the article, he is the key takeaway:
It turns out that while wind turbines do kill birds, they are statistically insignificant compared to the bigger killers we have in our cities and in our bedrooms.
Aside from the number being insignificant, there are efforts being made to minimize the amount of animals dying. The main solution is what is called bird curtailment - shutting the windmill of during migration activity.

It hasn’t got anything to do with brain but with vision, we make these things light grey so they blend with the white sky. Just like birds have trouble seeing glass, another thing we made to be as invisible as possible.

So that’s what they meant with “the goal is not nation-building in Iran or to establish democracy”.

Germany has one of the most obvious reasons to stay on the right side of international law, but if you ask me everybody has enough reasons.

I think you’re in denial. If they had changed the name of Homeland Security into the dep of National Security for example, you probably wouldn’t say that media outlets is parroting the us government.
- Comment on The EU targets Guinea for visa punishment: a sign of what is to come 1 week ago:
I’d like to share an old proverb that often attributed to Erasmus, but likely much older than that:
"The whole world is my homeland"
That is true for me, because with my passport i can access perhaps 99% of the globe. If you are not from a first world country, you cannot. Even if you work hard and provide for your family and add value to your community, western governments will tell you to fuck off and go to the shithole you came from. We should punish bad behaviour like stealing, scamming, raping, destroying etc. Wanting to survive and wanting your children to grow up somewhere safe is normal, going somewhere you’re not welcome to achieve that should not be punishable.
Anyone here saying we should eat the rich, but also saying we should not allow people to migrate should take a look in the mirror.

- Comment on ```curl -u "lab_tech:olympic_medalist" https://usa-curling.org/podium``` 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think so. My point is that ‘the first American woman to win a medal in curling’ just doesn’t get the clicks. But unless she has a rich dad or husband paying the bills, the fact she has a job is quite obvious. I haven’t read the article, but aside from the title, there probably isn’t much in there about her actual work. Maybe i’m too cynical. Great for all the lab techs they get a shout out, i guess.
- Comment on ```curl -u "lab_tech:olympic_medalist" https://usa-curling.org/podium``` 2 weeks ago:
Wow the first lab tech to win a medal! What’s next? Someone else with a job because they can’t live off being one of the best in their sport? Good for her though, don’t mean any disrespect, being the best in something is quite the achievement.

- Comment on Finland's Ministry of Justice is considering halting its plans to start using US-hosted cloud services 5 weeks ago:
Well yes, but it is relevant unless you believe policy makers will only work towards a world that is how it should be. That’s why i started with mentioning i don’t disagree with you. We surely can blame them for the results of their choices, but i don’t think we can play the ’omg i’m totally surprised’-card is what i’m saying.
- Comment on Finland's Ministry of Justice is considering halting its plans to start using US-hosted cloud services 5 weeks ago:
no matter what state it is operated from
Not disagreeing, but if Trump hadn’t won a second term there really wouldn’t be a dire reason to avoid the US. Sure they would be better of choosing a local or at least European provider, but most politicians (naively) didn’t see the current hostility coming.

- Comment on EU lists Iran’s Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group 5 weeks ago:
Morally i totally agree, but if i see what powers this gives the member countries i do totally support this move. Maybe they should make a list with violent government bodies that would function in the same way as the list of terrorist organisation.

The list would be fluid
If the killer keeps the money they take the ‘vacant’ place in the list, in the end the person most willing to use violence and most capable to buy protection end up with most money. Might not really be a meaningful difference to what we have now lol

- Comment on noyb win: Microsoft ordered to stop tracking school children 5 weeks ago:
Not necessarily, TikTok now delete accounts they believe to belong to children under 13. They could have chosen to do age authentication the British way but i suppose they had a big reason not to. Microsoft might understand they could lose business if they force users to prove they’re not children. It’s not like everybody would trust MS with such data.
- Comment on noyb win: Microsoft ordered to stop tracking school children 5 weeks ago:
Humanity is a corrupting force.
There is a reason we put locks on our doors and have insurance in case someone does break in. Sure this is an issue that needs to be addressed but it is one much smaller than getting the people in power to put things in motion. Once that happens (and we’re getting there) there will be funding and a public awareness campaign for sure, especially once the first politician gets hacked because they were using non-proprietary software because he wanted to kick Big Tech out..
