I think that is a bit of a mis-direct. We don't need that now, but we do need to develop it. There are plenty of electricity sources that provide enough for industry (plenty of hydro as a simple example).

The chemical processes require research and subsequent change, but removing thermal coal and just using coking coal is a massive reduction in coal usage. Maybe that is ok to get us over the hump. There is a lot of research into direct reduced iron, which is an example of removing coal from that particular process. It is not impossible, but currently maybe not too easy.

There is a lot of research into hard to abate sectors, I actually work for a heavy mining company that is doing just that.

Aluminum smelting is doing a lot of work going to renewables as it is cheaper and more sustainable for them.

It does take a an operational strategy change for it to work though., but it is possible in a lot of sectors.

Probably because it is not selfhosted nor is it a web app??

Note, I use fossify calendar, but I still would like a self hosted web app calendar system

This article ignores a lot of reality when it comes to firming renewables, and my paranoia was triggered when they wrote mainstream media.

Shilling out for the fossil fuel lobby.

Sure, it is not going to be easy, or quick (enough), but cost is going to drive out the more expensive forms of generation, which will be coal and gas.

have you tried the "do not ask again' check box? I seem to recall it asking, but i just tried then and it doesn't ask me any more. try again and see if there is the check box so it doesn't come up again.

Surely there is more than that which is an issue?

I have never seen this issues, but see people comment it all the time.

What is the issue? I use it almost exclusively for the majority of my spreadsheet work and I rarely have an issue or are required to adjust.

I haven't had any real issues with opening xlsx files either.

I came here to say this

In regards to email hosting.

It is not about hosting the server on your own infrastructure, it is about having there code to host it out have another provider.

There are a lot of email providers!

Also, if you look at the way Lemmy works, it is the same as emails. If they federate a community, the data is kept on both the original server and the federated one, so you duplicate to m the data, similar to an email server.

It is an interesting concept, and maybe the score should just reduce down to brush categories, like fully decentralized, potential decentralized, neither, partially centralized, fully centralized.

Then we won't nitpick on the school l score too much?

I'm doing my part for Vanuatu.... Not sure if anyone will use it here, but I'm having fun!

Hi, i have been using KDE (now on KDE Neon)for a while as my daily driver and have been wanting to improve the email/calendar situation.

I have seen Merkuro releases and announcements, but no instructions on how to install it!

Please help - how do i use Merkuro!?!? is there a flatpak or repo somewhere.

Hi all, I am looking for a starter tablet to show tabs, and in the future potentially musical notation.

As a starter into i am looking for ideas on what sort of tablet. Is 10" big enough? and what are some good apps for it?

My preference is Android, but if all else fails, an iPad could work.

cheers
