  • I don’t have a second screen right now, but here is my desktop with the 3 default task widgets. Only icons on top, switcher to the right, text and icons on the bottom. All in their own panels. Of course any panel could just be moved onto a second monitor. I remember this is possible since KDE 4 and stable since early KDE 5.

    KDE’s strength is its incredibly customizability. In the past this also lead to instability for unorthodox configurations, but the last few years it has also been very stable for me.



  • No Idea where you get that I support lignite use. As I said, renewables should be the choice.

    And no, there is no excuse “We had to replace the reactors with coal!”.

    By current prices building renewable energy which generates X per year costs about as much as importing/mining fossil raw materials to produce X for 5 years. If you factor in storage you get 10 years. Thats very short time for amortization. Fasten than a nuclear plant can even be built. And this does not even include all the costs fossil fuels produce otherwise (upkeep of plants, environmental impact, …)



  • The effects of the energy crisis were also noticeable for uranium oxide which also reached its 11 year peak during the crisis. More than doubling in price.

    What didn’t increase its cost during the crisis? Renewables. As @Aufgehtsabgehts@feddit.org said investing in those would have reduced the effects of the crisis noticeably. An example for this is Denmark. Also note that cooling reactors becomes more difficult/expensive with climate change. See energy prices in France in the summer.

    Also in Ukraine you can right now see another disadvantage of atomic plants: They are huge strategic targets.
