BAT is trash but I’d love to see more quick crypto donation options.

They went bankrupt in 2018 and are but a shell of what they once were.

On new install without logging in a Microsoft account?

They do, and did. Perhaps this reaction with the ozone layer just hasn’t been considered until now.

“Bitcoin mining may be our last line of defense against a CBDC [Central Bank Digital Currency],” Trump said in a Truth Social post Tuesday.

lol, no shot he wrote this.

I’d still own one if they were just banned on highways. The risk is probably pretty low on low speed city streets, where these would be most useful.

You say that like this shit is hard to use.

Oh yeah, I agree it’s super inefficient currently. But if the theoretical 100% efficient process is 5% of our current yearly energy expenditure, that sounds promising and suggests we shouldn’t just write off the idea.

I could see an argument suggesting we should have intervened long before it got to the point of the D-day beach invasion. Considering waiting that long to be a “failure”.

But also dude is a spineless moron so who knows what he intended to say.

We celebrated the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It was a failure. It was the 'unnecessary war, ’ described by Winston Churchill. We had a dozen chances to stop Hitler. It’s not about NATO. It’s not about American weapons in Ukraine. It’s about a megalomaniac wanting to create the Russian Empire by force of arms.

Bad choice of words, but this reads to me like we should have acted earlier with Hitler. And we should now with Putin as well.

Looks like a specially modified SyncThing was just used for exfil.

Just click this link bro. Just one more link man. Just click it I need it.

Can’t imagine “shutting down completely for just two weeks” would exactly be reasonable, but yeah I wonder if the article had a typo in it. I’m not sure. As of right now, the numbers are still the same in the article.

If the numbers are correct, expending like 5-10% of our energy expenditure for a single year on carbon capture sounds a lot more reasonable than the article suggests. Even if it were half of our yearly energy usage, that sounds pretty reasonable if you draw that out over a few decades.

By stealing its photons!

(it’s a joke)

If we wanted to remove enough CO2 to get back to the preindustrial level of 280 ppm, it would take  2.39 x 10^20 joules of energy. For a reality check, that’s almost as much as the world’s total annual energy consumption (5.8 x 10^21 joules every year).

Isn’t that over an order of magnitude difference? What am I missing? How is that “almost as much”?

We should try with solar farms

I just disagree. Computing is expression and in my opinion freedom of travel should be a human right.

Even if you add “leisure” to it to bolster your argument.

Unless you’re looking to get rid of half of humanity and go back to living like the Amish I don’t think we can put that genie back in the bottle.

What we can do is work on how energy is generated and increase efficiency. And this has nothing to do with shareholders.

Not sure what you’re getting at. Increased system efficiency lowers total emissions or at least increases work capacity.
