witty_username@feddit.nlto Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s electricity demand is skyrocketingEnglish11·9 days agoWhat’s dystopian is that a company like google will fight tooth and nail to remain the sole owner and rights holder to such a tech. A technology that should be made accessible outside the confines of capitalist motives.
Such technologies have the potential to lift entire populations out of poverty. Not to mention that they could mitigate global warming considerably.
It is simply not in the interest of humanity to allow one or more companies to hold a monopoly over such technology

The no kings movement should have changing the voting system to ranked choice as their primary demand

witty_username@feddit.nlto Political Discussion and Commentary@lemmy.world•What's wrong with Democratic Socialism?English14·15 days agoI totally agree with you. I’d like to add that, as I understand it, Mamdani ended up the democratic candidate because of the voting method (ranked choice).
I think this is precisely why current political interests are so opposed to changing the first-past-the-post method for ranked choice voting. Let alone proportional representation.
It also shows how effective and necessary it is to change the voting system! Imo this is what the ‘no kings’ movement should focus on above all else

I was under the impression that rare earths were mostly used in batteries and not necessarily in electric motors.

Come to think of it, what proportion of the military funding will be spent within Europe?

Edit: wowsers, apparently I made a controversial comment. Let me provide the context that I based my comment on. From the guardian article:
"According to a preliminary report by India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau, moments after take-off both the switches in the cockpit that controlled fuel going to the engines had been moved to the “cut-off” position. Moving the fuel switches almost immediately cuts the engine.
The initial report did not recommend action against Boeing, who manufactured the 787-8 Dreamliner, or General Electric who manufactured the engines."
