You’re missing or ignoring my point. If the energy is provided by carbon neutral sources, then the amount used is irrelevant. That should be our goal. And I don’t know where you’re getting the notion that water resources are " boiled dry" or that gpu heat has any meaningful impact on the climate, but those aren’t actual issues.

And for the record, I’m not defending LLMs or generative images here. That bubble would be better off bursting, but the energy use isn’t why. Hell, it may be the only good aspect of the whole thing. With MS booting up old nuclear reactors, maybe it will revitalize interest so can make some use of that technology.

No, in this case I’m referring to the electric grid and what powers it.

Energy demands are only going to increase as we replace gas with electric alternatives. The problem you’re pointing to is an issue with the current infrastructure.

Bummer :/

If it’s a site you use often, right-click and “block element” is your friend. Might be able to sus out a universal block as well if you dig around the different elements there.

Interesting. Thanks!

It’s not so much “built in” asit is just included by dev/pub request. Lots of games don’t: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_big_list_of_DRM-free_games_on_Steam

Are there other versions of connect or strands? I don’t mind not playing those, but having alternatives would be nice.

I have enough shit to go around.
