Noppeee. Very happy I switched to Linux. Despite how annoying all the hounding about it was, it’s galaxies better than the shitshow Windows 11 is becoming.

My guy, he’s making a pretty limited point and is agreeing with you. You’re strawmanning his comments to an absurd degree.

Yes. Growing a tree from sapling to a giant trunk removes significantly more carbon from the atmosphere than an existing trunk sitting there at mass, unable to store much more carbon.

And yes, that’s why I clarified that new trees would need to be planted, right on the money.

I mean, that’s the mechanism by which carbon is removed. It goes into tree, tree dies or gets cut down taking all the solidified carbon with it, new tree gets planted in its place to repeat the cycle. In fact, the fastest way to scrub carbon with the practice is to farm trees, assuming you do it sustainably.

I know, it’s a huge relief seeing this as someone who uses the free tier. I think I’ll cough up for the advanced tier if they stick to their guns on this decision.

most Linux systems don’t even use DHCP

WTF are you smoking? WTF is wrong with you that you think such a dumb claim would go unscrutinized? I would play Russian roulette on the chances of a random Linux installation on a random network talking DHCP.

Edit, in case being charitable helps: DNS and IP address allocation aren’t the only things that happen over DHCP. And even then the odds are overwhelming that those are being broadcast that way.

It’s more over-the-top and arcade-y. Things like volcanos exploding as you ride down the slopes and an indoor mall-like mountain in Tokyo with an air-lift you use to do laps. Note that it’s not free-ride, so there are pluses and minuses to it.

Interesting that Squidward is only happy as a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

Haha thanks you too

Luckily Google is here to save us. Just replace the word “save” with “screw”. Ad revenue over safety, always.

Is Mozilla 100% forced to comply with this? What’s to stop them from dropping their French presence and keep serving the browser unaltered on the public web? Do they also then get added to the ban list?

The thought behind this is alarming and worrying, but the mechanism of action seems shoddy and not thought out at all.

Christ, let me use my favorite app in peace instead of going “tsk tsk” and whinging about it when no one’s stopping you from using other apps.
