Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....
What I don’t get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It’s changing every day, and it’s always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn’t make any sense to write about it.
I don’t mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.
You can have a computer with multiple users, one prefers gnome, the other kde. Say, they also want to access the computer through cnc, but these are too slow for that, and one prefers windowmaker, the other enlightenment. It works just fine. You can run all these four at the same time.
One local news site wrote that it might be a mistranslation, and a poet from Leva got to be leftist poet. Can’t confirm personally, my Slovak vocabulary is 20 words at maximum
I want to see if I can get a spark of the “old internet” back by making a starting page for myself with all kinds of cool websites. But not sure where to start because Google obviously will not work for this....
There’s also the study on super flares on solar like stars: www.nature.com/articles/nature11063From this and follow-up papers it absolutely can happen on the Sun, just with a very low probability.
(I never thought this would ever come up on social media)
As far as I know (not kuch actually) there are some tries to slightly reform German (DoktorInnen and alike), and maybe even Spanish where in a group with mixed males& females you’d target them with male pronoun and seemingly that makes some people sad.
It’s indeed not an issue with Hungarian, although I’ve seen a party invitation online that decided that it needs to be inclusive, so the spoken language should be English, and THEN they complained about pronouns. Weird.
I was looking for this comment. It’s unfortunate that Julia basically dies in the shadows of python, in some sense it’s much more logical, out at least f ing print and division doesn’t change between versions
I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.
Use justtherecipe.com - it will not only cut ads, but also the sob story about the writer’s grandmother and how they kept this thing a family secret for exactly 137 years until now.
I think there was a 99% invisible podcast episode about that, it’s prison inmates. For some never-changed rule they are only allowed music on cassettes, so they are probably the target audience mainly.
Just a few years ago I had an old car with a cassette player/radio, and from time to time I enjoyed the cassette player with some leftover stuff, but in most cases I just used an FM transmitter
Sure, there are transmitters without Bluetooth. I somehow preferred the SD card, as it would hold a few Gb of music and needed no internet connection. The only downside was if I was driving short trips only for a while, and it stuck with a 20-min long Deep Purple concert track every time :)

I happen to rarely read recently published books, so I paid for an ebook a single time. In a series of eight books, each of them had an appendix saying “this file was formatted on purpose for torrenting. The estimated cost of producing the book is roughly 5.27$. If you liked it here’s my bank account and my website if you’d like to buy the book on paper”.
