If it cannot give you complete independence in some area - energy, heating or electric car - its attractiveness is rather diminished.

Solar only works if you either have a huge roof or get a low energy heat pump for which you need a high level of insulation which may well cost six digits to achieve for existing houses.

I have the following problems with this definition:

- The main reasons why fascism is rejected today - the world war and the holocaust - are not on this list. But without these fascism is not substantially crueler than other authoritarian systems.

- I do not see racism on the list which is one of the major distinguishing factors between national socialism and stalinism.

- Almost all criteria on this list can be found in other dictatorial systems, even those that are marxist or theocratic in nature. For 8), Hitler found religion to be useful for a time but wanted to replace it with the state in the long run. For 9) and 10), corporations being privileged applies to lots of kleptocratic systems but they are still ultimately subjected to the state and ruling elite. And unions were tightly controlled in the soviet union too, disallowed form going on strike.

My impression is that whoever made that list lumped everything together they find authoritatian and socially cruel and callled it fascism.

It's two big parties that care mostly about money for themselves. The conservative/left split is mostly along the civil rights angle because it doesn't cost money only the dignity of the opposing demographic.

They could have had plenty of gorgeous side stories if they hadn't killed of the EU.

Katarn, Thrawn, Jade just to name a few.

My city used to have something like this. A council that had to review every municipal building project for environmental impact and that was stacked with green party members who kept delaying or refusing pretty much everything. The council was eventually abolished with the votes of the conservatives and worker party because the city is pretty rundown and desperately in need of something that could give it an economic boost.

No one is forcing you to upload your private life to social media. Facebook, Twitter, Reddit etc. can be used in perfect anonymity aside from the background scripts that can appear on any other webpage. The only reason people put private stuff there is due to their own narcissicm.
But you know what erodes my privacy? Having to provide a cellphone number or a government issued id for verification to those very same companies.

For me:
car 10 minutes to inner city
public transport around 30 minutes because change necessary

I live in europe myself and in a bigger city. There are still plenty of situations where a car is faster and more comfortable than public transport. Unless every facility you ever plan to visit lies directly next to a train station using public transport will have a time overhead which is unlikely in urban environments that grew organically.

Aren't electric cars still in need of the power themselves? Such a functionality would imply abundance of power when increasing battery storage is still one of the top problems as far as I know.

Who will tell all next? His mother? His dog?

Most of the time you just want to exchange something in the context of a dialogue. Once the dialog has passed, the upload is forgotten. If you want long term storage, other services are more suitable.

Sweden and Finland have high social security and their birth rates are still https://www.nordicstatistics.o...

Having kids is uncomfortable, even if you have the money. The reason why people had kids in the past was due to economical pressure and social stigma of being childless. Since these reasons are gone people now only do the absolute minimum to leave something in this world.

At the end of the 80s cd players were affordable and disks were numerous. The first cd based gaming consoles / add ons were available as early as 1991. 32 bit age was cd dominated. New PS1 games were produced until 2004 (technically 2006 if you count Strider). CDs are still available en masse in many electronic stores around the world.
And if you count optical media as a whole they are still in use with the switch to complete online distribution repeatedly postponed.
I think they have done pretty well.
