You can find the original quote in the examples section.

It's from all their camps, workshops, Erfa's (Erfahrungsaustauschkreis) and especially the annual Chaos Communication Congress which is huge and attracts the scene worldwide.

The last congress was named 38C3: Illegal Instructions if you want to search on their media hub. A lot of the talks are in english.

The clip was quasi sanitized by that scummy channel by not mentioning the original creator. If cult-members would google him they would not watch the short: his name is Walter Masterson and he did some, genius IMO, parodies on MAGA-ralleys and gained access as a speaker to events from groups like Moms for Liberty, I believe.

I think he did way more videos over the years than shown on the channel and I wonder if he got censored.

Always those inconvenient facts, right?

Would, should, could:

Why didn't they bury it in impermeable bedrock then in this case. It will cost the taxpayer 3.7 billion to evacuate the rusty and leaky containers there. Which will probably start in 2033 and last decades. If they don't get it right the waste will probably leak into groundwater. That was already stated in a report from 1979 but declared as unscientific by managers of the facilitiy. The building time for Olkiluotos Onkalo was 20 years. You can search for other "End Storages" of nuclear waste around the world. Not many of them are even operating now. You can also look up facilities in Arizona making the same mistake as Germany in storing the waste in salt mines. You can also lookup the devastating effects of Uranium mining for the environment (e.g. in Navajo land).

Here's your baseload argument debunked:

"The beauty of these approaches is that they address one of nuclear power’s biggest weaknesses: the fact that it can only generate electricity in large, all-or-nothing chunks. Many of the above solutions are distributed across the grid, meaning that the simultaneous failure of a few units need not bring down the entire electric grid.".

Yesterday 58% of the energy in Germany came from renewables. It briefly had a day in January when renewables surpassed 100% of its energy demand. Energy is sold between the member states of the EU. Germany regularily imports about 2-5% of its energy per year. Not because they can't generate the baseload via coal or gas but because it's cheaper to buy. Only 0.5% of that imported energy comes from nuclear. The rest is also from renewables.

A bit offtopic but related: Mr. Habeck the previous much scolded economy minister had a big part in the rise of renewables and his further plans would have been to build out hydrogen production via renewables to act as a future CO2 neutral baseload capacity. Now Germany is in the hands of old white men again who want to burn the world. Just yesterday a headline was that the conservatives want to restrict the influence of the buero against monopolies in pursuing suspected cases of price agreements between fossil fuel cooperations.

A dev named funinkina has made an application working alongside the KDE screenshot application spectacle. It's surprisingly lean code which utilizes tesseract and works fantastically. Just compile, ln -s the app to your bin directory and give it a global shortcut like "CTRL+Shift+Print".

Let me be a grammar Nazi. It's "gewusst". But spot on, yes.

For non-german speakers: "I didn't knew of this". In a reference to Nazi germany when Hitler and the NSDAP publicised a lot of their plans inb4. Just like HF with P2025.
