I agree that cars are necessary in some countries and places. Why are you preaching to the converted?

That’s why I am suggesting things like Biodiesel because I know cars aren’t going away everywhere. I also know diesel trains aren’t going anywhere for at least a decade, hence why I also suggest biofuels here too.

If you want a new car that’s good for the environment, buy a second hand diesel then use it with biofuel. You can buy or make biodiesel yourself. Some engines can run straight vegetable oil too or can be converted to do so. This is handy because vegetable oil can be bought from any super market and many businesses throw away used oil that cane be reused for running a car.

Because so far I understood that for example the sex can be female, and so can the gender. But what sense does it make to have female gender? There is just a human in your head.

But then again… how important is this belief? And why are people claiming that there are more than two genders? Because of gender refers to sex, then what is going on there?

Their are neurological and therefore psychological differences between people of different genders. These are normally aligned with their physical sex and hormones. When there is a misalignment between gender and sex that’s what trans people are. It’s not belief, it’s brain structure.

There is just a human in your head.

Do you not feel attached to your birth gender at all? Or any other gender? Like if you woke up in a body of the opposite sex would you be okay with that?

Statements like this sometimes make me thing the person I am talking to is either very ignorant or a very confused agender person.

It’s not my comment. You are talking to the completely wrong person. Go look at their comments.

The reasons you say environmentalists don’t like biodiesel seem relevant although I can’t weigh the environmental impact of those chemicals.

I am talking about why governments and environmentists dislike fossil diesel, not biodiesel. Though they also apply to biodiesel it’s worth it not to contribute to climate change.

I am not sure how easy it would be to convert a non-diesel engine to a biodiesel engine

I don’t think it’s possible. You would replace the engine. Still easier than replacing an ICE with an electric drive train.

We have reached the point in this discussion where it’s being said cars are still required for some people. I am trying to say how they can be made more environmentally friendly besides electric cars which are horrific to produce.

Electric trains don’t use batteries like electric cars use. Don’t know where you are getting this idea from. They take power from the grid via electrified railway.

Lots of trains run on diesel though. For these I think Biodiesel is also a good idea rather than trying to replace every single one. This is more for railcars than locamotives though, since all locamotives are electric anyway. Diesel locomotives have electric motors and drive train powered by a diesel generator; these are called diesel electric trains.

You don’t pay for launchers. They are free. You also don’t pay for multiplayer. If you don’t want launchers look at DRM free sites like Good Old Games or pirate them.

You can play Steam games without an internet connection. This is just like how consoles are packed with DRM but you can still play them offline. Why would you even think PCs are any different? Like consoles have always had worse DRM.

discless releases and paid multiplayer Paid multiplayer has always been a console thing never a PC thing. Discless releases seem only a good thing to me. Why would I want to wait to go to a store in order to have a game when I can download it at home in a few hours? From what I understand there are still releases where both are an option but frankly I don’t care.

Piracy on PC is very much alive and well outside of multiplayer games.

Have you thought about Windows 10 LTSC? I think that is your best option.

Also we are on Windows 11 now, not 10 as the latest version. Keep up.

The issue with this is that electric car batteries cause lots of damage to the environment in their production. Manufacturing any new car is environmentally destructive. You may want to reconsider buying a new car if it’s just for environmental reasons as you may be doing more harm than good.

If you can convert it to run on biofuel that’s potentially a better option. This is easier if it’s a diesel vehicle and diesel engines are inherently more efficient to begin with. The reason environmentalists don’t like them is to do with nitrous oxides and carbon particles rather than carbon dioxide emissions.

Neurological differences between men and women aren’t socially constructed any more than racial characteristics are. You should read up on the neurology of trans and cis people.

Gender isn’t sex. Their gender is what’s in their brain, not what’s in their pants. I thought this would be obvious by now but I guess not.

They are talking about things like Androgen Insensitively Syndrome where XY people are born with female anatomy. This is because the chromosome dosen’t determine gentials but rather the hormones that chromesome creates. In the case of Androgen Insensitivity the body dosen’t respond to male hormones so develops female gentials despite having male chromesomes because female is the default. Weiredly enough though the gonads are still male.

Could also be refering to Swayer syndrome.

That’s a very unusual game to ask about so I have no idea. Way newer games have been cracked with way worse DRM (Denuvo).

As for playing online I think it depends on the game. Some I believe you can play but only with other pirates. I wouldn’t rely on it.

I don’t get why you would need nurves for it. If you stick to something like FitGirls official website it’s not too risky.

That being said if it’s better for multiplayer games to take advantage of steam sales. For an old game like Hawk2 it probably is only a few quid/dollars to buy.

They already answered this:

I’m in DevSecOps, and do a lot of heavy development and testing, as well as PoCs. Ideally, I’d have 128GB of RAM but laptops aren’t quite there yet. The HD is a Samsung SSD.

The Nazis. He was working against the Nazis and the Japanese. Why are you questioning this?

That’s fantastic if you have a car and can drive to get items from shops at the other side of the city or from a different town/city altogether. Much less convenient if you don’t have one or can’t drive at all. Like I would love to buy my homebrew supplies locally. In my old city that was an option. In my new one not so much…

We also need better public transport that would help with this but still. Some people can’t even get groceries without having it delivered (especially the elderly and remote). Some people would literally starve if they couldn’t get deliveries on time.

Games are also easy to pirate if you have a PC

They didn’t specify the ages when I first replied. Now that they have specified they are kids I think it’s even less of a generation issue and more of a teenager or child vs adult issue that’s being wrongly framed as a generation issue.

You might want to reword that. It’s not an obvious interpretation at least to me.

Hey I find Lemmy and Mastodon addictive enough. Then again I still use mainstream platforms too. Mainly because their are things I want to look at and people I folloe that haven’t or won’t move over.

Hey I was born in 2001 and use both Mastodon and Lemmy. Stop with the juvenoia.

The fact is most people of any age don’t care how things work and don’t like putting in any extra effort into tech. Imo old people are sometimes worse with this.

People who want to understand how technology works are a minority, and those who actually do understand are an even smaller minority. Nobody can understand how everything they use works to a reasonable level of detail anyway. You either have surface level details of lots of stuff, or more detail about some specific things. Modern systems are just too large and complex to completly fit in a human brain.

Edit: When the comment I was replying to was first written it didn’t include the age of the people they were talking about. Now that I know those it sounds less like a generation issue and more like the behaviour if children and teenagers. I think the person I am replying to needs to understand the difference between generations vs just still being a kid. Although personally I got into the technical side of things as a teenager.

The only reason I drink so much is that everything else is so much worse.

What do you mean? Alcohol is one of the harder and more addictive drugs you can do. Standard anti-deppressants aren’t nearly as bad and neither are many illicit substances like cannabis and ecstasy. There are a few that are worse (heroin, crack cocaine, maybe benzodiazepines) but I don’t think people would reach for these just to treat for anxiety.

Edit: Even Ketamine is only roughly as bad and dangerous as alcohol while being much better at treating things like depression and anxiety. It’s regularly used now to treat these disorders in treatment resistant patients. A course of treatment can last up to one month after the last dose. It’s can also be effective within one hour of the first dose.
