  • It doesn’t even matter all that much in the case of the Democratic party. Any Democratic president would ultimately follow the platform of the party, and you can see that by the fact that Biden’s agenda has been a lot more progressive than most expected, but makes sense since the party has become more progressive in recent years.

    It doesn’t apply as much with Trump because he’s a wannabe dictator and there’s a huge cult of personality behind him. He can do whatever he wants and the Republican party will follow, because they’ll be kicked out of the party if they protest in the slightest.



















  • Most people are talking about fossil fuels in terms of electricity and transport, which can and should be transitioned to renewable energy and electric vehicles as fast as possible (ideally with some people moving away from cars altogether).

    And the poll itself is specifically talking about renewable energy, so it’s not like the article is confused on that point.

    Yes, manufacturing is a harder problem, especially when it’s not just used as an energy source. But the easier problems need to be attacked as quickly as possible to reduce the risk of runaway climate change.




  • I think there are more people that are #1 and #2 the same time

    Probably where some of the attitude comes from. People are assuming that it’s paid IT people bringing their work home with them, which is a different case then a casual user trying out self-hosting without the broader background.

    Although I haven’t seen this attitude myself so I suspect it’s not that common, and probably just a handful of users jumping to conclusions.
