It seems like the community of CalyxOS is attacking and harassing members of the GrapheneOS project.

For reference, there's a very interesting documentary [1] about the impact of renewable energy on the environment.

rkh2018··on Europe nuclear plants 'need 500Bn euro investment by 2050': EU commissioner says
This is utter nonsense!

Just watch what Germany has done to its economy in the past couple years. In Germany all energy prices - and especially electric energy - are the highest on the planet! Germany is shutting down nuclear and coal energy plants but has nothing to compensate them. The only solution is to buy nuclear and coal energy from other european countries to high prices.

Wind and solar is a complete failure, economically and ecologically. Germany has invested billions in renewable energies but got nothing out of it. Only destroying its own ecnonomy. Let this be an example to all other countries.

Now, the EU is declaring gas and nuclear as environmentally friendly (maby because France is pushing) but what a complete shit show the EU has become is unbelievable. The european energy grid has gotten really fragile because there is not enough energy "production".

Corruption is everywhere. German taxpayers have to pay compensation money to coal companies because contracts between the state and these companies where terminated early. German taxpayers are paying for renewable energy sources that can never keep their promises. Again, the state signs contracts with big corporations and also gives them subsidies (taxpayer money). Now there's not enough energy available, blackouts are a real possibility but no one is resonsible.

There are no well thought out plans, only lobbyists of the corporations to get even richer, and corrupt politicians who profit from it.

Well, everyone who is surprised by headlines like this one should pick up some books. For example "How Not To Die" from Michael Greger, M.D. [1].

rkh2018··on The Tapplock IoT padlock has multiple security vulnerabilities
Maybe they took the „f*ck it, ship it“ advice too seriously and shipped it a bit too fast?

Who knows but after learning this I would be highly cautious to buy anything from this company until they‘ve proofen to be more careful in the future.

rkh2018··on I Ate Nothing but Meat for 2 Weeks
There are many researchers that come to the complete opposite conclusion. Most of the Animal products we can buy today are produced too cheaply and thus not very healthy to eat in large quantities.

Just watch „What the Health“[1] or „Cowspiracy“[2] and tell ne what you think about it?
