IDK why you’re getting downvoted, a large cargo ship can emit the same amount of co2 as 50 million cars https://maritimepage.com/cargo-ship-co2-emissions/

Perhaps the people downvoting you are the same kind of people without a sense of proportion, who think that turning off an LED light bulb saves the environment.

It could also be that you don’t provide a solution. So here it goes: want to cut co2? Buy locally produced goods. If you live in the northern hemisphere strawberries aren’t in season in January, and it’s a good chance that neither are tomatoes or avocado.

You forgot the “classic” version(s?)… God dammit I hate it so much. Why? I can’t even tell the difference and I’m the reactionary kinda guy that ditched Ubuntu over the gui switch in 2012!

Thx, I only knew that as fediverse chick

That would fall into the first category… Also, wtf? How can the same SSN be issued twice?!? It’s a frigging serial number, not a condom at a whore house.

Why? Because the system itself is arcane and could be done smarter? Or because the government has no business being able to distinguish between people with the same name? I need to understand this before going into a discussion with you.

Besides what everyone else has said about screening, I’d suspect the astronauts are pretty cut off from the world.

If ground control can control all communication, what’s to stop them from censoring?

Please don’t ruin Keanu Reeves and Nick Offerman

A general “fuck you and the horse you rode in on” goes out to all car designers, who hide buttons beneath the wheel at all.

My car has a heated steering wheel, but the button is between the wheel and the door, in the second row on the left. Guess what I can’t see when I’m driving. Lane assist? Same. And it’s not like missing the button is inconsequential either, one button on that row is opening the charging port. Probably wouldn’t open while doing 90km/h, but I’d not finding out in the first place.

Meanwhile the center console has multiple blank place holders where physical buttons could be installed, and my car has all the options is fully optioned. Just move the buttons, that you could want to use while driving, so they are actually visible.

Worst offender I’ve found to date is Peugeot, which my job so wisely chose for our company cars consistently. I think the CFO was in a lodge with the local Peugeot dealer or something.

Over time I’ve driven the 107, 207, and the 208, as well as I tried to fit in the EV versions of the 208 and 2008 recently when hunting for a second car. To date I’ve not found a Peugeot that I can comfortably get in and out of, while also fitting without hitting the roof. Ended up getting a Renault Zoe, which seems like the same size as a 208. But even without height adjustable seats I can still fit in it.

Also, fuck car designers who hide buttons under hidden beneath the wheel at all.

I work with young people starting out in IT, so I’m used to getting screenshots, and I’m so used to screenshots made with a phone instead of just capturing the screen, that I’ve stopped complaining… But come on! At least evaluate the result of the first picture and maybe do another if it’s illegible.

What about Portugal?

IDK why you’re getting down voted, you’re right.

Besides how would such a filter even work? I mean dropping all packets to specific IP addresses will lead to chaos with any organization that uses NAT or GCNAT.

Sure, you can circumvent getting your own IP address banned, by using a tunnel, but then your tunnel gateway is the one to get banned instead. End to end encryption won’t solve the problem. Unless we actually setup a system like tor, and don’t leave our own network. But that would be pretty easy to squash, wouldn’t it? I mean a network only set up for piracy, it will get it’s main operators taken down pretty fast.

On cold winter days, we can average 6kW over 24h, but peak is more like 10 I’d 13. Not talking just about my space heaters with embedded computing power and TBs of storage, but the whole household.

Wow, the US education system must be improved.

I pay my electric bill by the kWh too, and I don’t live in the US. When it comes to household and EV energy consumption, kWh is the unit of choice.

1J is 3600Wh.

No, if you’re going to lecture people on this, at least be right about facts. 1W is 1J/s. So multiply by an hour and you get 1Wh = 3600J

That’s literraly the same thing,

It’s not literally the same thing. The two units are linearly proportional to each other, but they’re not the same. If they were the same, then this discussion would be rather silly.

but the name is less confusing because people tend to confuse W and Wh

Finally, something I can agree with. But that’s only because physics is so undervalued in most educational systems.

Fuck me, I didn’t notice it was tankie country, I swear one of these days I’m gonna block that entire instance from my feed

How the fuck is this a thing?

Money

How are they allowed to control how I use my data?

You gave them permission when you signed the deal. Pretty simple.

It’s pretty common to buy phones from electronics stores in Denmark, without a carrier attached. So locking down the phone isn’t as common here, but that doesn’t mean that ISPs aren’t still up to no good. I heard about one company that would look at the IP header and if your packets came with a TTL of 63 or less, then the ISP would know that you had a tethered connection and would count the traffic differently.

System Tray Icon?!? What is this sourcery?

Sounds so futuristic. I mean I may be stuck in the 70s reading my electronic mail in pine on a pdp11, so that may influence my judgment.

[a] Fork That Promises Better Features

Have they released anything yet? Or are we at the project stage, where they’re yelling at their CLI confused about git?

Promises are cheap, releases matter. I mean I could announce a project called Betterfox, promising to bring better features to a well-known browser. But in reality I’m by myself, overly ambitious, and going to leave the github page abandoned after the initial commit.
