Not a parent, but personally I would also err on the side of correcting them, as they’re still heavily exploring the world. Partially, they’re figuring out the world by making statements they believe to be wrong and do actually want you to confirm that they’re wrong.

But yeah, if they’re throwing a tantrum, they may rather be looking for more input than that. More attention or a playfight of wits even, so to speak.
Asking them “why?” as many others suggested, seems like a good start here.

Personally, I would also try just feeding them tons of information, like if they say that snow isn’t white, tell them that it is, because it reflects all the wavelengths of light. Obviously, they won’t understand what that actually means, but it gives them something to think about and in the sense of the playfight, they’ll be satisfied, too (i.e. defeated and learned something).

I’m a massive fan of GUIDs, too, but you’d have no protection from rogue instances reusing GUIDs of existing posts…

Hmm, interesting. Here in Germany, power companies are partially privatized and I always thought, whomever came up with that nonsense took inspiration from the turbo-capitalism in the USA. Apparently not.

Do they need to be profitable, though, in your model? It mostly sounds like a traditional public service, where the government could just tell them to use the money for solar…

“Open-source” is not up for interpretation. The word was coined by this definition being made public: https://opensource.org/osd/

Well, reading that back, the above comment is maybe a bit harsh, because I hardly know anything about Grayjay specifically. They do seem to have a grander vision where they combine all kinds of services, not just YouTube, and maybe they really are hoping that Google won’t ToS them.

But yeah, the way I imagine this will go down, is that Grayjay will grow for a bit, until Google notices losses from this new competitor. Then Grayjay will receive a letter that they’re in violation of the YouTube ToS. Grayjay will try to get that resolved, but no one at Google responds. Eventually they’ll be forced to take out the YouTube integration, making the app significantly less useful, which is its death sentence.

I don’t quite understand how their monetization model works, so I don’t know who will lose money here, but I imagine someone will.

Ultimately, they’re building a business reliant on Google, which has never been a good idea.

More profitable for fossil fuel companies, sure. And they will lobby to stay in business.

But no one needs fossil fuel companies. If you can sell 1 MWh power, that’s a fixed amount of income. If you have less costs to cover (what the graphic shows), then that’s more profit for you.

Google killed off most YouTube apps some years ago, in favor of YouTube Red. Google stated those apps being in violation of the YouTube ToS, but even when those apps removed the violating features, Google would find new reasons for keeping them off the Play Store. Well, and then they would sell those supposedly ToS-violating features themselves, as part of YouTube Red, like for example background playback.

Since then, most YouTube apps are knowingly in violation of the ToS or at least not holding their breath that Google might decide so.
So, either they don’t use the official YouTube API, like NewPipe and LibreTube, meaning you can’t log in with those. Or they don’t put in too much effort, like ReVanced just being a mod of the official app, so that won’t have the features you want. Or I guess, they just risk it for quick profit, like Grayjay, but that will probably get shut down before they have such features developed.
Theoretically, a non-ToS-violating app can exist and could be distributed via the Play Store, but it would basically not be able to integrate any unique feature.

So, yeah, as others said, I don’t think this exists.
You could try some alternative methods like:

• Use two different apps, logged into two different YouTube accounts.
• Utilize an Android work profile to be logged into different accounts with different installations of the same app.
• If you just care about having different subscription feeds, use RSS feeds instead.
• See if a non-Google operating system is less shit at this.

Alright, yeah, good point with the batteries. I’m hoping the batteries in electric cars will double up as storage for the grid (already happening today), but also that there’s just enough redundancy with other renewables.

Possible. But well, whether these regulations actually are bullshit or not, kind of doesn’t matter. A dumb solar panel won’t ever need to be regulated as much. If that’s what makes it cheaper, it still is cheaper.

I’m not quite sure, why it was left out of that graph, maybe they didn’t have matching data, but it is shown here (from the same source article):

So, what did you want me to do? Post the same graph, but black out the nuclear line, so no one can see it going upwards? I do find that data point interesting, too, but I would have posted this, even if it was just the solar dropping as it does.

As far as I understand the description at the top of the image, no, storage is not included. But if production costs are insanely low, that of course does leave plenty room for storage or redundancy. In particular, personally I believe the costs will continue on a logarithmic drop and we’re at the steep part of that, so even if it really is not the case today, I do expect solar production + storage to become cheaper in a not too distant future.

Also, as another graphic from the source article illustrates, battery costs are rapidly dropping, too:

Hi, I’m a human being, not an “anti nuke propagandist”. I just checked, if there’s newer data, and well, there is, but no one seems to have formatted that in a way yet, which you or me would be willing to digest.

Personally, my impression has been that the solar industry was one of the industries that was pretty much completely unaffected by COVID, so I felt this graph was still perfectly relevant.
But even if it were strongly affected, I do not see why our technological progress in manufacturing, that we had in 2019, should evaporate with COVID.
There is inflation and a rise in natural catastrophes, but I feel like those would affect nuclear and others roughly proportional.

I was considering whether this is just a shitpost, but your other comments suggest that you’re completely serious. It does not go away. Radioactive decay causes multiple transitions between radioactive elements until it ends up as lead, which does not decay further.

Of course, it should also be said that it’s better to have no waste than waste that eventually turns into lead.
And that it’s still better to have waste than waste which also happens to be toxic.

The source article actually talks about this and measured data suggests nuclear cost actually went up, despite more capacity being built.

This is the first time, I’ve read this anywhere. More sources/studies would be really important. And there is lots of interpretations to be had on the why, but assuming the article isn’t completely off the mark, that’s cold, hard data suggesting that your (perfectly reasonable) assumption is actually wrong, after all.

There is this vision for the future, where people can use the battery in their electric car (or a separately bought battery) to store power, either produced by their own cheap solar or from the grid during over-production. And then some software could sell that energy back into the grid at night or during high demand.

If that becomes a reality, we might have it at least so that if a chunk of the grid gets cut off for a bit, it can actually tide that over.

Yeah, there may be situations/regions where even the cheapest solar isn’t good enough. But at some point, the cost difference does become an oppressive argument. Even at that price in 2019 already, you can use around 75% of your money to build storage or redundancy in multiple regions / with alternative renewables.

And this trend of cost reduction for solar will very likely continue, even if it might start levelling off at some point.

Yeah, everything you said there is correct.

If you want a somewhat more comprehensive definition:
Funkwhale, Lemmy, Kbin (as well as Mastodon, PeerTube, PixelFed etc.) are pieces of software, which can be hosted on a server and which implement a communication protocol for the federation of social media content.

If someone then takes such a piece of software and actually does host it on their server, then that’s called an instance. Generally, they need to buy a domain name to do so, like “open.audio”, “lemmy.world”, “feddit.de” and so on.

You might be interested in Funkwhale instead.
It’s a more mature piece of software, it does federate and they’ve even put quite a bit of effort into podcasts.

They have a flagship instance at open.audio, which only allows Creative Commons content (to avoid copyright issues when federating).
So, as I understand, if your podcast is CC-licensed, they’d be happy to host yours.

F-Droid has the most up-to-date versions (v0.3.16 and v1.4.5). Both of these just haven’t seen a release in a while, although the FlorisBoard developer seems to have recently returned.
