I like how you know enough to know that you’re cool for using that lmao and not cool enough to realize that Google speech to text is available on your device just as readily via setting>system>language.
But by all means don’t let me stop you from browbeating and gatekeeping, you’re doing so well already! It is afterall, the only plausible reason for your comment in context.
Yeah, reading through this article, I’m not sure exactly what to make of the researcher’s conclusions. He directly compares tons of plastic used with conventional media with tons of CO2 generated by the overall cost of electricity compared to streaming.
I definitely agree that those aren’t really all that comparable, but more important than the comparison itself is that streaming isn’t nearly as environmentally friendly as it kind of intuitively seems. I’m just trying to figure out how decentralized federated streaming fits into the overall picture, and what we as its users can to do help.
A decentralized alternative would likely do far worse.
Music isnt that hard to stream (compared to video), so a bunch of people using their home hardware to transfer data will be much less efficient than an industrial size datacenter.
