Honestly, I think this skill could easily translate to one of those "lore keeper" or "continuity expert" jobs people have on TV shows.

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...

What's wrong with systemd?

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.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

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

3.6? Not great, not terrible

You're right! There's nothing wrong with efficiency and teaching people to be less wasteful, however I believe including it in your argument for renewables means muddying the message.

Talking about getting production to 100% renewable puts the onus on governments and power companies to change.

Talking about efficiency is about getting consumers to use less, and allows energy producers and politicians to point the finger at people leaving their lights on unnecessarily rather than getting on with the job of making more renewable energy.

This is of course speculation on my part

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.

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)
