oh, I inherently know what happened here
“oh, I thought it was banana bread, but didn’t know for sure. Of course I needed to test the potassium content to inform my decision on whether it actually was banana bread.”
@Lando I was thinking the same 😹
@Lando This is why professional banana bread counterfeiters use fake banana flavor and just a dash of K40
@walshman23 @Lando I knew it! 😮
But custard is still okay?

@CatboyCody hmmmm... garlic bread... I need to have garlic bread again...
I don't understand why not. I mean, isn't the mass-energy ratio influenced by the radiation in the bananas? I'd want to know that!
@the_turtle Once had a portable DVD player where the instructions had the specific callout "Do not urinate on and dispose of the battery in a fire."
"And", not "or"...
"And", not "or"...
@f00df4ce their lawyers must have made them include that.
But the only way to quickly verify that it’s “banana” bread is to put it in the spectrometer! It’s one of the best ways to identify individual elements. The most common impostor, “bana” bread, looks and tastes almost identical in all respects, but contains only half the sodium.
“…but, wait,” you say, “aren’t bananas supposed to be rich in potassium?”
You’re thinking of “baknaknas”. The “k”s are silent, like the one in “knave”, so it’s pronounced the same as “bananas”. Easy mistake to make; I saw it all the time in Chem 101.
I would think that it would be way more interesting to put it in the Geiger counter
I feel prepared to write a version of the backstory on this 😂

@cinebox Sign made by a coward.
There is an important issue here! They make the rule, but they don't tell you the story that made them think to make the rule. There is always a story. For example, at the university I used to work for, if you wanted to be reimbursed for travel, they said you had to submit the boarding passes. Clearly, someone had tried to get reimbursed for a trip they did not take. But at the time, Southwest COLLECTED the boarding passes, so no one who flew Southwest could be reimbursed. We took pictures of the passes. Sometimes that worked, sometimes not. Then it became possible to check in online and print the boarding pass. You could print two copies of the boarding pass. Or 100. This did not prove that you had boarded the plane, but it satisfied the rule.
The people who made the rule were staff who never got reimbursed for travel. They had no idea what problems they were creating, or that their rule did not accomplish what they intended.

@Darkphoenix I once went looking through our local city law codes and found a few interesting ones. Notably "It is illegal to climb on the outside of a moving vehicle and honk the horn." 🤔 Also one which banned use of "roller skates and toy wagons" from a particular section of downtown, which went from oddly specific to vividly surreal with the addition of a clause which "This does not apply to police officers in the line of duty" (I definitely want to know what duty requires police officers to make use of a toy wagon!)

Interesting. From what I gather, in addition to the normal electrolytes and such, cat urine is extra high in urea (as you could guess by smell) because their kidneys are very efficient, urea is hygroscopic, and moisture in the air breaks that down to ammonium which is conductive and quite corrosive.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign
#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.
Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.
KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

@Stem Perhaps, but what does it cost to try?
@olivenolje
It costs a missed opportunity to give more appropriate advice: stay away from google and use more private community forks of android that if I understand correctly will not be affected by googles papers please app ecosystem.
A strategy focusing on begging tech giants to not do the will of capital is basically lying to the public that there is a chance this can work.
In theory yes the open letter is a nice thing to have regardless of how google reacts because then we have something to point to how google is ignoring public opinion - but it needs to be presented with heavy caveats and we need to focus on getting average people out of googles grip so they don't hold this much power over us
Moritz Schade mag das.
Oh! We agree. That's what @plasmamobile is all about. However, realistically PlaMo is not ready for the general public yet, despite how hard we are working on it.
If we could get the sort of support regular Plasma has, the story would be VERY different. But PlaMo is still niche.
Moritz Schade mag das.
I hadn't heard until Plasma Mobile until now, I had only heard of the pinephone one. I am excited to hear more about the project development in the future!
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile AFAIK the pinephone is the hardware (that can run plasma mobile or another interface) and plasma mobile is the software (that can run on the pinephone or on another device)
@PerryPeak @ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile
The preferred test hardware is OnePlus 6 and 6t these days.
@PerryPeak ah yes I keep mixing that up and thinking pinephone have their own distro
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile
short:
linux mobile has roughly three ui options.
1 plasma mobile.
2 phosh.
3 gnome-mobile.

@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @plasmamobile
Not even remotely ready. I'd almost say its 10 years away but you need a foundation for it to run on. And the number of phones it can run on right now I can count on one hand. Which is not a good start. Classic chicken and the egg situation, sadly.
I would base phone purchasing decisions on it but bigger priorities are avoiding conflict materials and modularity so I will stick with fairphone until I find something better
@KellicTiger @ambiguous_yelp @plasmamobile Actually, even if it goes against the concept of user freedom, I'd prefer all the efforts going into making Linux solid for a handful of phones, instead of trying to adapt the OS to many different brands and models.
Even better, exclusively work on something like the PinePhone and make it the flagship of Linux phones. Perhaps the Linux Mobile would then finally really take off?
@ambiguous_yelp @plasmamobile Would more donations significantly help the project?
Or is the limiting factor the lack of contributors?
Or is the limiting factor the lack of contributors?
@olivenolje @ambiguous_yelp @plasmamobile
Very much both. Also finding more hardware support. In that respect, we must not forget about the great work the people at @postmarketOS are doing! They help us get PlaMo on to more phones, giving us more space in which to grow.
Moritz Schade mag das.
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje I couldn't have said it better.
@ambiguous_yelp Fair point.
However, if we insist on using Android (forks), we're still impacted by Google's decisions. Sooner or later, these forks will be less and less of a valid option (cf. how google's changes to the Pixel 10 series were a pain for the Grapheneos team).
Even if this letter fails, we shouldn't simply stick our heads in sand and look away from these issues. As you mentioned, raising public awareness is critical. So is fighting against their control.
I expect hardware to become more locked down, this is what states and capital want. The best solution to that continues to be open source hardware and modular devices.
I believe this because open source hardware and modular devices create power at a grassroots level and invites tighter crackdowns from governments - but there is a political limit to how oppressive a regime can be and the more power we build for ourselves the more expensive it will be for them to stop us using unapproved apps which slows the whole oppressive system down
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @kde @Stem I agree. I believe one solution is to start/continue to design hardware that's generic enough to do the job. Think dune buggies which are bare-bones but can move around quickly. Bolt on accessories as needed. Perhaps bring the #Permacomputing crowd in? Framework Computer style?

@olivenolje Giving people false hope with an action that have no chance to have any meaningful result.
@Stem @olivenolje So you wrote to your local representative already? What did they answer?
Moritz Schade mag das.
@Stem
No. But to keep the mouth shut and let it happen quietly is not an option.
@simondeutschl Any option will lead to the same result, so what does it matter?
@Stem
If you fight, you'll probably lose. But if you don't fight, you have already lost.
@simondeutschl If you fight with inefficient weapons, you have also already lost.
So let's stand aside while the world burns, right? What's the point of fighting for anything any more?

@olivenolje @kilgoretrout No, what brought us to this point is people giving false hopes about weapons that had largely proved their inefficiency.

Don't let Android devices become a closed operating system, I strongly oppose it!
@helloclippy Device availability is definitely a friction point, but when choosing a new device this should be a priority and I will defend that, for example fairphone which is modular and pays workers a fairer wage and minimises conflict materials is compatible with /e/os
I would say that /e/os would still be better than using googles android because at least you can do away with Google Play Services (the component granting google the power to censor apps) and it can probably be hardened post-install too.
I'm not saying everyone needs to get a new phone right now but the existence of friction points doesn't mean we are powerless and it doesn't mean the friction can't be reduced in time
As an anarchist basically I don't think we should rely on undemocratic institutions to solve our problems we should do everything we can right now at a grassroots level

@helloclippy @ambiguous_yelp Clearly a big issue with android forks.
Therefore I clearly agree that we need better open hardware devices and open source firmware and software.
A couple of projects are aiming at achieving exactly that (Linux phones, Pinenote), but they are far away from being a solid/daily-drive alternative to Android/iPhones, just think banking apps.
The issue is time though, as open projects take a lot of it, while big tech solutions are rolled out on a conveyor belt...
Maybe let's port lineage OS and Ubuntu touch to more devices and let Google stagnate like the pond it's become? 🤔
Not to be rude, but as an average user/developer what's the issue at stake here?
@toadofsky keepandroidopen.org/ has a section for users too.
Simple example, you want to install a nice app your friend made/recommended, you run stock Android, installation is rejected. The end.

@ambiguous_yelp @helloclippy buy a pixel phone and flash grapheneOS if you can't get a fairphone. Its what I did in Australia. I got the pixel 9a the last pixel with a released OS tree.
@olivenolje @helloclippy
A lot of the time banking apps are just QoL features though, obviously ymmv especially globally, but in my experience you can get by using the bank website, debit card details and cash. Those who can live without banking apps in order to grow the linux mobile ecosystem: should do so
Apple and Google, 2 choices for apps from where we sit, and both are partners in crime. END MONOPOLIES. Capitalism has become extortion when conglomerated.
Tear everything apart and build it from scratch, the entire system has been subverted to evil.
Tokodon for Android? Where?

KDE F-Droid Repo obviously. KDE rarely use Google Play to distribute.
@justincrozer You mustn't have read the thread fully - it isn't available in their country either
@ambiguous_yelp @helloclippy You're right, I'd like to persuade myself to use cash again.
But the country I stay in rn is almost entirely running on DC, cash is a relic of long forgotten past.
But then again, in the EU, a new initiative (Wero) is growing, aiming at breaking free from Mastercard and Visa. Perhaps it is the "dreamt" opportunity to make a change towards a better digital payment system. But I am digressing
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje some banking apps are almost required. Ex. some banks I'm with require it to do certain expected features, excluding withdrawal/deposit.
I've also seen one provider (wish I remembered the name) that explicitly stated they'll close your account if the app is not used every 30 days or so... 
" title="
">
Hence why I have two phones...
@jessienab @olivenolje Ha thats ridiculous of them - if banks actually cared about 2FA for security they wouldn't use mobile phones for that they're too easily hacked; they'd insist on key fob devices instead.
Of course its actually about building a surveillance network and the banks get a cut of the profits
@okias
It does. Albeit, many end users will find it hard to install and with not as many features or the stability of Android.
We are working hard on it and it has come a long way, but it may not be the drop-in substitute many users will be looking for quite yet.

Best video you've ever done. Technology connections are also human connections. Well done.
Thanks a lot for this ♥️
this is simply a great video, i really recommend to watch to the end!
Thanks so much for making this great video! First, I was not sure I would watch it comletely b/c it appeared a bit long but every minute was worth it! 😃
de: wie immer brilliant. traurig, dass es die letzten 30 minuten geben muss aber es ist gut, dass es sie gibt.
en: brilliant as usual. it is sad that those last 30min have to exist but it is good they do.
Invaluably important video. Thank you so much for that! I really hope it reaches the hearts and minds of as many people as possible.
I skipped the technical part, I agree with the Partisan political part.
Great video (and rant at the end!).
Panels are very cheap, but a decent charge controller and inverter isn't, and apparently inverters don't last forever - I've only had mine for a few years, so it's too early to tell how reliable they are.
Replacing inverters may be a "running cost" of the system if you have to use AC.
For that reason, I have been trying to find as many DC-powered products as possible, but it's quite hard to find non-IT appliances.
The only real DC kitchen devices you can get a fridges.
There are NO DC-powered cooking equipment.
The most powerful DC kettle I have found is 24V and 300W, which isn't great.
Everything else is just low power, small equipment.
Someone in the US is trying to make a battery-powered electric oven, so people can use them on 120V systems.
I bet it is phenomenally expensive!
@chewie Also a reason why we should favour bigger solar installations, all the "middleware" electronics benefit greatly from scale.
“you can’t take a lithium atom and turn it into iron”. Why the hate for late-stage stellar fusion? Just imagine if we had small electronics powered by silicon fusion…
Thank you for 1:16:36 onward! 🫡
thank you so much, for the WHOLE video. Proud of you.
14:56 is a point that gets understated quite a lot. I find that many people that oppose renewables have a strange libertarian ideals about the market and don't seem to get that electric cars would open them to more energy markets. To use their world view.
You earned a new subscriber!
that was a good one. I think that way, but I don't think most do.
The first half of this video, as usual, taught me a few things and made me think.
The second half.... wow. Thank you for saying all this.
(I'm in the UK.)
I love your videos! This one was amazing. Also, I'm not in the US but fuck Trump and the republicans.
Thank you so much. I'm sorry it has come to this but you more than met the moment.
It seems pretty clear, at the end you consider the US to be in the early stages of fascism.
Have you thought about writing anything explaining this?
@NBAnthony2k the explanation is gestures at the US in general
Loved this video. Thank you.
Dude, my God, incredible video, all 92 minutes! Thank you for a shot of hope!
Thank you for plainly and passionately saying the things that need to be said, and for setting a powerful example for those of us who feel as deeply about these things as you do. I have more admiration for your courage and conviction than I can readily articulate right now.
✊
Thank you.
It was sooo good. Thank you!
Make sure to watch all the way to the end
listening to the last five minutes of this video ❤️🔥🔥🔥
I am not completely through your video but have an interesting videolink to the recycling problem.
It's completely in German but it shows a process to completely separate all layers of a solar panel to get pure materials for new panels.

Re: Let's do this.
Technology Connections Oh man, right-wing heat pump and dishwasher spaces must be in a wild tizzy this weekend. This is going to be worse than all of the people suddenly asking why Star Trek had to go and get all "woke".
This was amazingly well researched and put together, like most of your videos.
Hopefully this will get some people to understand the importance of moving on from fossil fuels many instances.
I came for the video and stayed for the amazing rallying cry during the latter part.
Keep up the amazing research and thank you for speaking out, though it's unfortunate that you felt like you had to.
This might just be the best video anyone has ever made. A VERY necessary video, to say the least.
Just wanted to say, watched most of this video, absolutely loved it. Like I already knew most of this stuff, but even more than the bit of added detail, the way that you framed it, the explanation you gave, and the fact that you even said at the end "I'm saying this because this way convinces people."
...I am definitely going to be using this exact way of framing the issue way more often, probably with the added fact that acquiring oil has required a lot of warfare, so we are literally just asking that the money going into warfare and environmental response get put into long-term energy-security instead.

> "There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man."
Oh my, I've finally got to watch this video. I'm glad you did it. It's great, it's rebellious and has anger in it. Any sane person should be felling angry about is happening in your country right now.
As you say, everyone has to speak about it. Everything is political, only those that abuse politics for their own benefits are the one that wants you out of it.

thanks so much for the video, particularly the lather half.
I do feel the need to comment on the section on photovoltaics recycling though.
I'm far from an expert on this, but I do have the privilege of research proposals in this field crossing my desk every now and then and having occasional contact with the wonderful people at Fraunhofer ISE, among others.
For everything except the aluminium frame, recycling is significantly complicated by the fact that the adhesive used is a resin which can't easily be molten/dissolved. Right now the state of the art is to just shred the glass with everything adhered to it and use it as concrete fill.
The one exception ist that there's a bit of a scramble to capture the silver contained in the solder of panels manufactured during the first boom years of photovoltaics which are starting to age out, but as I understand that comes at the cost of wasting the other materials.
Theres lots of cool research in this field: how to manufacture for recycling, how to melt the cells and electrolyze the impurities out if the silicon, etc.
But were still pretty far away from having anything like a circular economy for photovoltaics.

I have been following you for many years but only ubtil now did I feel the urge and need to reach out and say something. I truly admire what you said and the way you stand up for others.
great video. I'm sorry so many people are having to live through this shit.
please everyone watch this important video. It's highly political at the end. A must watch.
So I finally got a chance to watch this and…wow, I’ll just say 💯 on the ending, and I have nothing but respect for you being willing to go all out like that.
I really appreciate pushing the perspective of “one and done” for every gallon of fuel we burn.
One thing I wanted to note, while ICE engines (not those guys 😂) burn fuel with near 100% efficiency, my understanding is a car motor actually loses something around 80% of that energy through heat, so it’s even WORSE.
I feel can't find the right words to formulate a comment that would express my sympathies towards you, your cause and your way or fighting for that cause, in an adequate way. I'll try anyway.
As a European, I'd be honored if you moved here, but you're probably too much of a Midwesterner to let Trump take your country from you. You remind me of what I imagine Bernie Sanders would be like if he was 50 years younger and did a "I don't need a comment, I need you to vote!" video.
Thank you. So impressed by the Midwest, and hope we can step up our efforts with y'all's example.

@chrismerkel Fair enough, and that's one of the other biggest issues with Peertube at the moment. But my understanding is, for many YouTube creators anyway, Ad revenue is a pretty small fraction of their income. Obviously I can't say much on that for Alec specifically.
Also the viewership is so low, I doubt it would even make much of a difference at the moment. Obviously that could change in the future but he could always stop uploading to Peertube, or find some other monetization strategy.
@techindepth27 @chrismerkel I'm sure youtube ads give some money, but if I remember correctly he has said in the past that most of the money comes from patreon memberships.
plus most peertube users are already using adblockers
@chrismerkel @techindepth27 ko-fi, etc. (enter favorite funding platforms)? I think cutting hard dependencies (especially economic) is a wise thing to do (if u can).

> But I really think the Overestimate Short Term & Underestimate Long Term problem does a lot more heavy lifting in that regard. Humans in survival mode (as so many of us have been for the past 10-40 years) need to focus on the short term, and thinking about the long term is an unaffordable luxury.
Really feeling this. Looking after your sustainability is totally a thing. But having had some major wins, politically, this decade in Australia, it gives light to the maxim “you underestimate what you can do in a decade”.
We replaced a string of the safest conservative House of Reps politicians with pro-environment pro-integrity conservatives, really rattling the establishment and rejecting post-truth, putting civility back on the floor of the house. It’s the sort of thing 12-year-olds on a school tour can actually watch without cringing (and dying) inside.

@GoodNewsGreyShoes They didn’t though. They said “TL;DW?”.
That’s not asking for help. That’s an incredibly terse way to say “what you made is too long and I didn’t watch it”.
Interpreting that as a “request” involves adding in as much context on your part as interpreting my comment as a rebuke.
In both cases; the “request” and the “rebuke” are not in the original statements.

this was amazing.
im leaving these here because the video made me remember these and ive put in some effort to find them again. theyre from the french greens in the european parliament, i think
her name is Lola Mercé and she has done some other bangers too:
@BalooUriza @balkonsolar no, the panels have a built-in inverter that only works as long as it detects a healthy grid supply. This was specificly designed as a safety measure to prevent backfeeding of disabled circuits.
They are also limited in power to ensure that they can't defeat circuit breakers in detecting overcurrent through house wiring.
(This toot only applies to the situation in Germany)
@BalooUriza @balkonsolar a grid tie inverter is synchronized to the grid and has to stop if the grid goes down, because otherwise it would loose sync and suddenly supply 100% of the load.
These imverters are designed to inject current in your home mains by using a voltage slightly higher than the grid, so it is consumed first.

I thought I was watching a solar panel video, which was surprisingly fantastic the whole way through. I have 1,740 watts on my sailboat that I live on, so I didn't need convincing, but I feel better knowing that my lithium bank is perfectly recyclable.
And then, the video "ended." I was Jack Nicholson-smiling for thirty straight minutes and had a hand ✊🏻 raised. I was just expecting to find out how photovoltaics were somehow just heat pumps like every other invention ever.

@almino @Janne_O While that might be true of this particular video, it is not true of the channel (or the secondary channel) in general. Also, just because a video isn't monetized that doesn't make it public domain.
If #PeerTube wants creators like Alec on it, it has to get a lot easier to publish mirrors on PeerTube. (Also, it should be easier to "monetize", but that's a harder problem, for several reasons.)
Thanks so much for making this! 🙏
@maruno I built my own 20kWh + 5kW off grid setup, batteries included, for about 2000 euros.
LFP cells cost about 40-100 per kWh, you just have to add a BMS, inverter and some cables.
The expensive part is people. Same goes for the panels; 5kw of panels is 500€, but getting them put on your roof and cabled and all that costs (sometimes tens of) thousands, because there aren't a lot of people who do it and they want a high profit margin.
Happy to show you how to do it though 😛

@breizh uranium is neither renewable nor free to harvest at low operating costs. nuclear power is an uniquely insane upfront investment & constant operating expenses and a lot of societal operating expenses to safely store the nuclear waste. until such time it can be safely transmuted. That is also a huge investment to develop and scale that technology.
the last time nuclear power was built it was only possible because the cold war needed the technology to be dual use otherwise it would have just been building nukes to collect dust somewhere.

Is it possible that you upload your videos to a different source than YouTube, constant privacy violator?
@burnitdown Yes, the Democrats are not perfect. Nowhere near perfect even. Alec mentioned that in the video too.
But don't forget the reality that the US is stuck in a two-party system. You basically have 3 options:
- Vote Republicans
- Vote Democrats
- Don't vote
Option 1 is obviously worst, no need to discuss that.
But not voting is still worse that voting for the Democrats. Don't let your vote go to waste. The rest of the world counts on you!
As someone from the rest of the world, specifically from a country with (way) more than 2 parties, I sincerely hope that someday the US will reform their system and get more than 2 parties too. But first you need to get rid of the current administration, asap.

@burnitdown You are correct, but that is not the issue. The issue is under whose party's control you would be best able to support Palestinians, protest against DHS, and in general make your voice heard and organise resistance. And even though it's possible to organise resistance in a fascist dictatorship, it's much easier under a dysfunctional and comparatively mildly hostile government.
would you consider splitting some of that up to 30 second bites, each on one lie?
We missed that "Trump" ascending 25 years ago in Russia, so, you can learn from our mistakes. :______D
Alec, a friend of mine introduced to me to your videos and I can without a doubt say you should be president.. your depth of explanations, you're clarity, the unapologetic logic, I am all here for it and hang onto your word. Americans across the board should watch your content and learn how horribly we've all been misled. Signed, an ardent, stark raving fan.

I only just got around to watching this, and I'm sorry it took me so long. I did not expect that ending, but you've expressed so much of what I've been mentally incapable of saying coherently for a long time. Thank you so much.
