While good, you should always keep in mind that using renewables for this means that power can’t be used for other purposes, meaning the difference has to be covered by other sources of energy. Always bear in mind that these things don’t exist in a vaccum. The resources they use always mean resources aren’t used elsewhere. At worst this would mean that new clean power is built to power a waste, and then old dirty power has to be used for everything else, instead of being replaced by clean energy.

1.5% to 3% is a doubling (100% increase). It’s not 1.5%, but 1.5 percentage points. It’s a very normal use of percentages

Beautiful… Now change AI mode to Slop mode for accuracy

The tools which make 1 tb HDDs also make bigger ones.

The debt doesn’t “go away”, the countries sell it on the market, causing the price of us bonds to drop. That causes the yield (what it costs the us to service the debt) to go up. Borrowing becomes more expensive. Repaying debt or borrowing more to pay interest becomes even more expensive for the us.

That’s a wild take on writing lmao. If you’re not sure the author will finish it, don’t start reading it.

“AI-powered browser” Who exactly do these marketing people think will be impressed by that? Is it supposed to appeal to hardcore tech people? Non-techies?Will literally anyone be swayed by that blurb?

They NEEED to pump the copilot usage numbers to appease shareholders. It doesn’t matter if all copilot uses are accidental and unwilling, cause it’ll look great in the next quaterly report

You don’t know that. Literally, you don’t. Nobody does. This might be your opinion and that’s fine, but stating it as fact is disingenuous

And that is only a small part of the UN. The UN is much more than just the security council.

Which means that the patents are void to start with. But they can still be used to bankrupt a smaller company with court battles regarless. The fact that patents with obvious prior art get granted so easily is a wild.

Lemmy is really weird about these kinds of things. The hive has decided your personal feelings towards game design must be punished I guess.

In much the same way iron is heavier than feathers!

A globe isn’t a projection at all, it’s the real deal. Projection occurs when you take that 3D surface and map it to a 2D surface.

What brand are your running shoes?

If the electorate in a democracy want to end democracy, then it’s game over. You can’t save that.

At some point needlessly banning words just empowers bigots by letting them claim larger and larger parts of the vocabulary. Shouldn’t we try to reclaim words instead, and deprive the words of their power? Just “banning” words, especially in cases such as this one when the connection to master/slave is pretty weak, actually increases the negative power of the words and I’d argue empowers people with malicious intent
