That is a solid argument. I second this.

I read through a play store about app, they never mention it’s end to end encrypted. So potentially they read everything including passwords and other personal info, probably sell it to be fed it to some AI model while also building a very nice advertisement I’d for you.
Assuming you are in India, what’s wrong with WhatsApp? I seem to remember every tom, dick and Harry uses WhatsApp. I’m not a Facebook fan and not advocating that whatsapp is best, just if you have to spill your beans, better to do them only to one company is my thought direction.
Sometimes I wonder if my instance will defederate from lemmygrad, I have hope.
Well i chuckled
Amen
Considering how strict he is, doubt they’re getting out of prison soon.
No, you should ignore these types of posts though.
I trust no articles from SCMP.
I think these people just want to watch the world burn, contribute nothing, consume attention, waste time… You know like those early day virsu that would just bog up CPU but would do nothing else… Some people just enjoy wasting other people’s resources.
Tiny core Linux ftw
I mean i get your argument, but super-critical plants can only serve baseload, they need 48 hours to prime and can generally not operate below 50% capacity, they do yield very high efficiency though.
But I’m not sure where this discussion is going.
Coal power can’t really be used for on-demand scenarios, as coal fired power plants have massive startup costs and also time. Compared to a gas-turbine that can do a cold boot up to maximum production in 15 minutes. Coal needs about 4-5 hours to come to full power and that is with the best expensive technology we have not necessarily technology that is in use. Also coal plants take about 2 hours to shutdown and about 20 hours to be ready to be fired again. It’s just a limitation that we can’t overcome from complications due to coal being a solid fuel.
So whatever coal China has it must be using for baseload, they must have more alternatives if their coal fired capacity is decreasing.
EDIT: adding more context, so I have been hearing this coal as peak load instrument for a while now, so I decided to dig deeper on who is claiming this and why? So there are two claims in this space out there 1st being that for larger plants that can operate at sub 20% capacity can scale between sub20% to 100% in minutes making them useful for peak load, and that is just stupid argument as whatever minimum they are running it is still baseload.
Other argument is actual redisgn of plants that allow for quick cycling, but technology is new and they can cycle even 4x in a day, but they operate at relatively less efficiency and also since they don’t ever go cold they start plants semi hot, they can’t clean the boiler with forced draft, leading to increased maintenance cost during full cleanup shutdown significantly and also they deal with thermal stress a lot more leading to increased cost of wear and tear. Seems like only CGS has been able to operate using this model and their gen capacity is only 480mW so seems like a proof of concept idea than actual possi ility of turning coal into peak load.
But at least it looks possible with some research, contrary to my previous opinion that it’s not possible at all, but seems to be still years before it can reach baseload efficiency and last thing we want to do is run coal at worse efficiency.
I wonder who’s downvoting this
Shameless plug for Mull here too, i use both fennec and mull.
I Should’ve read the article, it doesn’t belong here
How do you think they’re detecting what to sensor, how are they censoring it?
People are already demonstrating by downvotes hahaha
But then if primary sources for Chinese government are unreliable why are the secondary sources from Chinese local newa agency acceptable? In that case even the secondary sources would be unreliable, where to draw the line?
Not many of you left these days it feels, any debate I always see openSUSE is missing, I don’t use it myself atm, but it was my rock in the past. Either openSUSE community is not vocal or it’s just very tiny on lemmy.
