  • The main Syncthing app for android has stopped development because of shit like this.

    You just cant build actually useful apps that use low level access anymore without google kicking you out of the play store. But its becoming a OS level problem too. Lots of things are just not possible anymore without rooting. If someone doesnt hard fork the AOSP at some point soon, the future will look very grim even for custom roms because reversing all the damage google is causing is way too much work for a couple of volunteer devs.










  • What? This is what generation capacity looks like in Germany. Solar has gone up 50x in the last 20 years, 2.7x in the last 10 years. We could keep scaling faster, but there is just no need.

    We dont need more sources, we need more storage. We already have plenty of surplus solar/wind generation capacity that is being turned off because the grid is lacking storage. We really only need more storage and as you can see from this chart, that is whats happening. This year battery storage filled with solar and wind will probably supply more energy than nuclear did over a year at its peak.
