I believe the problem is that it's actively cooled, so it won't get hotter under a blanket.

He could always unplug it though...

You're right in theory, but in practice the point is that email survives because it's not a closed, proprietary protocol.

Unfortunately I don't think the issue is quite so simple. We used to have open chat protocols that were slowly strangled by big tech until only their solutions remained.

I think the biggest problem is simply user apathy, if users cared more we wouldn't have the whole US green/blue bubble problem

I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it by DanForever in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Youtube tracks how much of a video each person watches. These metrics are used by youtubers to strike deals with sponsors.

The amount of money the sponsor pays will be based on how many views the sponsor's message part of the video gets.

‘Energy independent’ Uruguay runs on 100% renewables for four straight months by DanForever in c/technology@lemmy.world

Actually, with clean sources of electricity like wind and solar, the amount consumption doesn't matter. It only matters if there isn't enough for everyone, or the power comes from non-green sources (coal etc)
