That citrussy had Cloud acting most unwise.
It goes like this:
To quote the post more specifically:
Even as our species destroys its only home, we assume that the solutions to climate change must lie in technology, without stopping to examine the role that this very attitude has played in the crisis.
This is so deeply ingrained in our social consciousness that, when there is a new impressive technology, we assume that it must be here to solve one of our big problems. As the AI hype quickens the pace of our ecological devastation, we’re so dazzled by the technology that there is actual debate in supposedly serious publications as to whether AI is going to save us from climate change, despite all evidence pointing to the contrary.

I haven’t run into any of those, so I have no idea what that’s about, but I will! hahaha
I just started playing it and it’s pretty fun so far.
I made a low INT character, because playing low INT on Outer Worlds was pretty fun
Exactly, if we do a back of the napkin calculation:
There are 200 million bitcoin wallets, let’s be generous and say those are all owned by unique individuals.
Bitcoin used about 114 TWh in 2021[1]
Bitcoin currently uses about 150 TWh annually
150 TWh / year
————————— = 0,75 TWh / user / year
200 million users
There are over 8 billion people on the planet today, let’s assume 4 billion of them have access to the global banking system.
The global banking system used an estimated 264 TWh in 2021[1]
If we assume the same consumption increase rate for banking, that’s about 348 TWh/year currently.
348 TWh / year
————————— = 0,087 TWh / user / year
4.000 million users
With these numbers, bitcoin uses almost 10x the energy per user annually.
There are of course a myriad of things one can argue over whether it makes a fair comparison, none of which I feel like arguing, since this is just a really simple estimate with a lot of assumptions.
1: I used the numbers in this article uncritically, if you have better numbers you can run your own calculations.
That’s the one, thanks!
Yes, but so do hospitals?
That down mean that every worker has to come in 7 days a week tho, right?
And those 8 really rich guys definitely work less than 5 days a week already
Are those complementary at the Great Northern Hotel?
That’s basically sort by controversial, no?
I definitely understand; but it’s good that you are angry, because that means you are human.
That seems more sensible.
But they still can track some of the things you do (same with any untrusted wifi network):
The best thing is to use a different device, period.
Since the company is lord and master over the device, in theory, they can see anything you’re doing.
Maybe not decrypting wireguard traffic in practice, but still see that you’re doing non-official things on the device that are probably not allowed. They might think you’re a whistleblower or a corporate spy or something.
I have no idea where you work, but if they install a CA they’re probably have some kind of monitoring to see what programs are installed/running.
If the company CA is all you’re worried about, running a browser that uses its own CA list should be enough.
They’re making a new browser engine from scratch in an open way, absolutely amazing!
I do have several questions:
Why would they use BSD instead of GPL? If you care about open-source so much, why would you make it possible for a company to run away with your fancy new engine?
Why are they creating a new browser, when even firefox has to struggle to keep some semblance of market share? I get that not every project needs to aim to be “the biggest”, and that even a smaller project (in terms of users), can be fun. It’s just that writing a browser engine that can handle the modern web seems like an almost Sisyphean task; which makes me wonder what their motivation(?) is.
Why the FLOSS are they using closed-source proprietary discord as their main communication channel?
