       @EU_Commission I wonder why EU is still pushing "Renewable Energy" instead of "Low Carbon energy" ? Maybe EU should pay more attention to science instead of Green anti-nuclear dogma ?

       @clive I intuitively found this figure overblown, so I dug in your source and I see that the authors are basing all their calculations (3.8L/kWh) on a figure in a WSJ article! Is that serious ? I wouldn't trust a paper whose authors do not even bother providing a citation to a proper study, especially when their core statement is based on this source.I do hope that the WSJ article has a citation itself and would appreciate if someone with an access could provide it.

       @davidrevoy @ariane I have a hard time understanding all this angst about Threads, besides a gross misunderstanding of how the Fediverse works. The misunderstanding is quite acceptable for an artist or most of the users, far less so for some mastodon admins who decided to block Threads.I'm therefore inviting anyone thinking Threads is dangerous to at least read Mastodon's creator thoughs about it (and dispel some weird beliefs on the way) : https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2023/07/what-to-know-about-threads/

       @davidrevoy @ariane Sorry about that, I initially posted in French out of habit.

       @lanodan @davidrevoy @ariane Meta CANNOT harvest data on the Fediverse, this need at least to be understood. It is this myth and some others that Gargron is trying to dispel. Honestly explaining what Meta can and can't do on the Fediverse technically is not lessening the harm Meta could do but letting people make informed choice (as long as their admins allow them to).

       @duponin @davidrevoy @lanodan @ariane Gorgron disagrees with you here, guess who's right ? Why would Meta get more power than any other application on the fediverse ? Why would your server suddenly disclose to Meta what it is not disclosing anyway to the other servers ?

       @duponin @davidrevoy @lanodan @ariane I think I understand enough to know that Meta is certainly not an issue here. But then please explain how suddenly Meta would be able to harvest your personnal data from your server ? I'm not aware of any way ActivityPub would allow you to get any information about the poster beside the thing he is posting (which is public anyway).

       @lanodan @davidrevoy @ariane @duponin Agreed, but then it's not a concern with Meta, technically they could retrieve all the public data they want with an accounts on big instance and start playing with the APIs.I suspect that many people freaking out about Meta have no idea of the big privacy issues intrinsic to ActivityPub, at least I know that Meta do not care about my activity since they can't monetize it. I'm not so confident about those rogue or badly maintained servers.
