The church of Satan and the Satanic temple are two very different organisations.

What exactly is the utility of the above quote of yours then?

To show that the correlation is spurious at best.

Has it become even more successful after he’s mellowed out?

Yes, it has. Usage of Linux has been growing over the years.

My point is exactly that. It's not obvious, and as such you can't attribute the success of Linux to his behaviour. Like the OP said, there's no logic in looking at something successful and picking a singular thing to be responsible.

How is that obvious? Especially because it's become even more successful after he's mellowed out?

But did it work because of the style or in spite of it? No reason to believe it wouldn't be even more successful if he had been less abrasive like he is now.

There's a few single player focused ones released in the past decade. Deserts of Kharak comes to mind.

That jadedness is exactly what fossil corpos want from us. The less our governments do, the longer they'll keep raking in subsidies and filling their pockets.

Carbon reduction still needs to be top priority even while we prepare for the worst case.

Nuclear can only perform as baseload

That's only true for NPPs built decades ago. Modern designs can also do load-following power. For peaks you have renewables, of course, they complement each other. Diversity makes a healthy grid.

Because that's what's happening. Countries are building and reopening fossil fuel plants.

In 20 years that reactor can make up for thousands of tons a year of CO2. That's the same argument people have been using for 60 years, and here we are now. That it takes time is no excuse not to start.

Ah yes, much better to keep building new coal or gas plants instead. "Fuck the planet, we're trying to save a dime."

I wonder how long until all those people always glorifying atomic energie come here...

You mean the realists who want to eliminate carbon emissions with more than wishful thinking? Or the people trying to educate against decades of the oil and gas corporations' anti-nuclear propaganda and fearmongering?
