Wow, thanks for mentioning this, I'm seriously looking at moving away from gmail, and Tuta was my frontrunner. Sad that they aren't more upfront about this...
I see Proton is kind of the same to some extent, but then they have a local bridge application which translates their protocol to IMAP/SMTP. Does anyone have experience with that?
Yup, adopting the Euro as currency would be my first condition.
They threw a lot of privilege and bargaining power away out of pride, so that pride should be injured as much as possible (but without emiserating the common people).
I think you need to read some more history about fascism my friend.
That "pure" capitalist you talk about has never existed.
On the other hand, capitalists were essential to Hitler's rise to power, and the likes of IG Farben and Bayer profited greatly during the reign of the Nazi's.
Now we see the same thing with the likes of Bezos, Zuckerberg and Musk installing Trump, and abusing their influence to completely deregulate the markets they are in (e.g. banning any regulation on AI by states).
That sounds like "right answer, wrong method" to me, tbh.
Did you feel ashamed for having to sit in the front or having detention, or was it more like "eh, works for me, might as well go along with it"?
Nor do they remember the previous AI boom of the 90's and 2000's, where the likes of Lernout & Hauspie were also promising the world. In that case they went bankrupt and executives were convicted of fraud, because they resorted to "creative" accounting to paper over solvency issues.
Exactly, they are a breakthrough built on top of decades of steadily paced progress.
Those decades are conveniently ignored by the commercial interests, who like to act as if those once in a decade breakthroughs are actually the normal pace of research at their company, and the next one is right around the corner.
It's also kind of obvious by accounting for concentrations why this kind of carbon capture is a fairytale, isn't it.
Trying to capture from a carbon source like an exhaust, you'll see a gas that's easily 80% CO₂, compared to the meager 0,04% (400ppm) concentration in regular air.
My guesstimate is that you'll easily produce more CO₂ than you're able to capture just trying to move enough CO₂ molecules through the capture device, even if you're 100% efficient in capture.
Also a sidenote: I think carbon capture at the source has its use in combatting climate change, but we must not forget reduce > reuse > recycle. Carbon capture is very much recycling, so we should be careful to only do it for situations where it's very hard to decarbonize.
If I’d Only Known I Wouldn’t Have Wasted So Much Of My Potential Club.
I'm in this club but very much trying to leave, because I'm starting to realize "wasted potential" in itself is a toxic idea that's been ingrained by years of teachers telling me this (with my parents doing their best to counter).
That's not to say I'm not still trying to do my best, I am, but only because I want to and because it makes me happy.
