@Sustainable2050@mastodon.energyIn 2024, Europe spent circa €375 billion on imports of fossil fuels. [consumptive: burn it, and only CO2 remains]
In stark contrast, investment in renewable power and grids remains comparatively low: Europe spent €100 billion on those in 2025. [delivering clean energy for decades, and avoiding CO2]

@haayman@todon.nlIk vind zo'n winst van banken pervers. Waarom moet een bank zoveel winst maken? Dat betekent dat hun klanten minder waar voor hun geld krijgen. œf ze moeten teveel betalen voor een lening, óf ze krijgen te weinig rente op het spaargeld.

@rasterweb@mastodon.socialI generally hate buying new computing devices and try to make them last as long as possible. I bought a used/refurb iPad 5th Gen in 2022 for $199 and got 2 years of solid use before I upgraded to a 6th Gen in 2024 (for $170) so I could use an Apple Pencil.
I then put the old 5th Gen on my trainer bike as a video player and it still works great.
But sadly, two years in the 6th Gen now has dead spots on the screen. I may need to replace it.
