Hmm, in mean time I prefer buying Fairphone over supporting Google.

I see, and it can’t be installed on Fairphone?

So if I were to choose graphene over eOS it would mainly be to be more protected from malware?

Thanks for sharing. For someone who is not so well versed in these technicalities, what does that mean for the user? That you’re more susceptible to fraud and hacking and malware?

What maskes you want Graphene over e/OS? I’m not so familiar with how they feel.

Great, and I also hear that the amount of nuclear waste is tiny in comparison to contemporary nuclear reactors.

Alright, the more you know

For example when Russia invaded Ukraine and they attacked Chernobyl. Maybe it’s not founded in real risk. But I imagine it could be a security threat for someone to bomb a nuclear facility.

That’s my point. The social benefit of renewables are environmentally and temporally differentiating. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t invest in them! We definitely should, and likely more than we do. But all I’m saying if you were to calculate the environmental and societal long run costs, I believe there must be places and situations where fission/fusion is preferred sometimes.

Thanks for sharing!

I’m not saying they are bad or not preferred. I’m just saying there are cases for fusion/fission sometimes.

I’m thinking more in terms of warfare

All energy sources have trade offs.

Solar panels take a lot of space and shadows ecosystems reliant on sun light. Wind turbines kill birds and are noisy. Dams remove water sources from ecosystems and communities reliant on them. Fusion/nuclear/fission pose security risks. Oil/coal power puts CO2 and pollutants into the air.

The last one has global consequences and the first 4 only have local consequences that depend on circumstances.

Edit: hey everyone, the point of this comment was not to shit on renewables or to paint them as equal to non renewables. I admit that the arguments I made are not the best. They didn’t come from thorough analysis, but it also wasn’t the point. The point is just that there is a case for fusion/fission too. One doesn’t have to exclude the other. Many renewables are time sensitive and depend on the environment. They are great and absolutely should we invest in it! I just don’t subscribe to the idea that we should shoot down fusion/fission.

How do I know if my bank allows that before I switch? Also, how many other apps might not work on the new system?
