“It works fine if you follow a 10 stage guide filled with terminal commands to configure it properly, which describes commands that are different in your distro.”
What possible reason would he have to do that…? If he wins, he gets off scot free. If he loses then he’ll claim that he won and is being suppressed for political reasons and then get of scot free.
He won’t need to, it’ll be his “independent” department of justice calling the shots. Sessions and Barr did everything in their power, without committing actual explicit crimes, to keep Trump happy while they were in charge.
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....
If someone wants to use a vibrator that consumes an entire city’s worth of yearly energy consumption each day then I’d say that they shouldn’t be allowed to do that. Making excessive energy consumption prohibitively expensive goes some way towards discouraging this at least.
Right, so the imperative to consume less power inspired the innovation needed to make it ultimately viable in the long term. Rather than people being left to consume infinite resources without a care in the world. Let’s hope that the imperative to be efficient and not use all resources all the time inspires this to also becoming viably efficient rather than regulators/officials just allowing it to spin out of control.
Did I say at some stage that I just want a flat, nuanceless ban on industries? I answered a hypothetical posed about individual’s personal consumption.

If nothing else, government and industry bodies to catch up with it and impose appropriate standards.

If that’s what you’re trying to express then I kind of feel like you miswrote your comment. You want them to focus on browser features but not continue to add features? You don’t feel like there’s any room for confusion there?
Corporations are as callous and mechanical as they have always been, with an ever expanding range of tools to exploit. They will do anything and everything they can unless it is less profitable to do it.
How many knives can a disaffected teen carry/throw per minute?
I wouldn’t seek to downplay how much damage a sufficiently motivated individual with a knife can do in a short space of time, but it is certainly orders of magnitude lower than a firearm in most cases.
