It's scary how most of these issues are already underway and we're still not showing any signs of slowing down.

I think after 9/11 they were still the same old tactic they used in and after the cold war; security theater and fear mongering. But you're right, news and political representatives definitely weren't the completely open bigots that they are today though and I think you might be right about that time period being the start of today's Fox news.

Social media definitely had a profound impact on politics, people's rights, and open bigotry. This definitely gave them the means to have more of a voice with younger demographics but I'll still argue that it wasn't until Trump entered the picture that they were able to really push their narrative and decouple "truth" from official news sources in the minds of many. I don't think I've seen so many people just repeat distorted views of reality at once until then.

This is definitely true. It's something I've heard Trump supporters argue about firsthand. But it's not just only racism or the threat of being a minority, but the fear of losing freedom to do what they want according to their own skewed morals. So while a decent chunk of why they think the way they do is sheer racism and fear around that (especially since the start of the BLM movement), it's not the core of the problem.

I believe that this started as the resurgence of toxic masculinity in that Trump showing people it was okay to be misogynistic, racist, and homophobic in opposition to race, gender, and identity politics rising in the 2010s. Women's rights and LGBT people are in their sights as well and, despite their narrative fitting well with fundamentalist religious morals, this seems more like resentment that those movements didn't address their needs or issues. COVID restrictions that they disagreed with fanned the growing fire into the fulblown fascist conservative movement we see today.

So I don't think it's the fact that cis het white people are in lower relative numbers but it's the event of rising social progressivism and more rights for minorities and women that spurred the antagonism of them.

Tldr: Bigots are upset that they didn't get anything out of women's, LGBT, and minorities rights.

According to a paper published in 2020 here, the specific energy and energy density are in line with what you are saying. But according to the article that Wikipedia cited here, sodium batteries show the opposite.

You're probably right but it looks like there's conflicting info about this currently.

What's interesting to me is the power to weight ratio. Sodium-Ion is at ~1000 W/Kg vs Li-Ion at ~175-425 W/Kg. EVs could maybe have less weight and cost in the future because of this.

I'd like to get a Pixel for GrapheneOS but I'm sorta waiting to see if the upcoming fold has pen support. If not, I'll probably just get an earlier model since it's cheaper.

Yeah, there isn't a very good alternative other than occasionally getting lucky that it's compatible with VLC streaming.

But will it have stylus support? That's pretty much the only reason I didn't consider the last version.

I don't actually understand this one. Could someone explain?

Honestly, I think the only way out of this hole is going Harris-Sanders. I think a lot more would jump on board then.

You definitely should try something with an actual desktop. It sounds like you're wanting a headed server with virtualization capabilities. I'd personally run LXD or KVM and LXC if I needed a type 2 hypervisor and containers like what you're saying. Luckily, a ton of distros support both of these at this point.

Btw, proxmox utilizes KVM and LXC on the backend. So the only difference is that you're leveraging the tools directly. If you're a CS student then learning the underlying tools is the best way to learn about a system and how it all interacts.

Let's just stop breathing because each exhale is more CO2 in the atmosphere! /s
