Perhaps it’s part of some effort to counter the bad reputation ai has been getting on the high energy demands? I grew up to be doubtful of any seemingly inoffensive news article out there

What a really interesting initiative. I will try to contribute some things in their repo.

I already know a few people who were just marginally digitally literate, and now they can’t read things like news articles and access several kinds of services anymore, unless someone helps them, because they don’t property know how to close invasive popups and solve captchas.

The internet is literally becoming unusable for some people.

What’s the methodology behind your estimation? How can you, for example, take an estimate of carbon emitted per mb, when the network infrastructure can vary a lot depending on your geographic location and what service you’re using?

So true. I’d complement the first point to include a general lack of documentation. Sometimes, we can’t even know some pinout schema without trial and error.

If you had unskippable commercials on dvds, you probably missed pirated dvd stores like this one:

Welcome to the world of freedom. The first months may be a bit uncomfortable, but it’s a journey worth taking. Be welcome!

I expected to see risc v processors first in embedded devices, like routers and cameras, then moving to smart devices, like tvs and smartwatches, then to phones and then desktops. But looks like there won’t be a clear line, and things will come concurrently.

One of the great advantages of software distributed with the source code is the flexibility to move to different platforms and architectures. I wonder if moving to a snap/flatpak model will change this flexibility in the future.

At least Reddit is searchable

How long until they restrict viewing the full contents of posts without logging in?

I feel like a better approach would be to work on making social media a better place. It doesn’t have to be an attention span hell, and it can be a nice toolfor socializing.

The official ones are a mess, but depending on your needs, you can use armbian. It supports orange pi boards, and is a nice and up to date distro.

TIL that my phone have been always in the no distraction mode

Last week, I went to a friend’s house and asked to use her computer, which is still a core 2 duo with 2gb of ram and an hdd, running win7. I was a bit surprised to see her family having it as their only computer, but more surprised to see how fast it was. I expected to have the most laggish experience of my life, but it was… smooth. I’ve used machines with much modern low end cpus, more ram and ssds that performed much worse than that on win10. The enshittification is real.

Can computers be properly recycled? I ask this as someone living in a place where everything ends up in a landfill

Because asking and answering too many questions was exactly how they ended up with a bullet hole in their monitor.
