Producing an EV battery can generate around 2.5 to 16 metric tons of CO2. 1 Manufacturing a gasoline car produces about 6 tons of CO2 and over its lifetime, an ICE vehicle emits around 35.9 tons of CO2 from fuel production to usage. 2

It’s also worth mentioning that the VPN in question, Proton, offers one of the best free tiers of any VPN company.

As long as you have notepad, you’re good.

I’m not going to condone this, but also… haha.

I’m a YouTube creator, part of the partner program, and I also manually upload to TILvids. The videos I make generate about $100-$300 a year through the partner program, so I’m not a professional by any means. It feels like they’re trying to keep creators from leaving by putting up small roadblocks that limit our reach beyond the platform. Given PeerTube’s non-profit model, I see it as a potential future for content sharing. Though there are a few rock stars on YouTube, most of the creators on that platform make little to no money from publishing videos. There are more people like me than Linus Media Group.

Hot take: Good for them.

This will have zero impact on 99% of independent developers. Most small companies can move to an alternative or roll their own infrastructure. This will only really impact large corporations. I’m all for corporation-on-corporation violence. Let them fight.

I’ll check that out. Thanks.

My system is to duplicate to fresh media once in a while. It’s more hands on, but it’s the only option I have. My NAS will be cloned to new drives in the next few years.

No car, no problem.

Oh damn, you’re right.

Correction: the iPhone 16 does support physical SIM.

My laptop has two USBC ports. No logos of any kind. They are Thunderbolt 4. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I believe there is already plans in the timeline to bring Tumblr to the fediverse.

It’s becoming impossible to monitor. I have 5G Broadband Internet and I share a public IP address with everyone in my area. I look at https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com and it shows thousands of torrents that my neighbors have pulled downloaded.

I opened my first Gmail account during the private beta (2004). It’s not my daily driver account, but I still use it for government stuff like taxes and healthcare. It kinda blows my mind that it’s 20 years old.

It’s a good thing that ChatGPT is only one of the many LLM’s to choose from.

They started putting ads in Windows, a few users switched, but most still continue Windows.

Google will roll this out and a few users will switch, but most will just keep using Chrome.

We’ve already established that most users don’t seem to care.

30 miles south of LA, my choices were:

• $65 for DSL through AT&T
• $75 for Cable Internet (That they called Fiber) through Charter’s ancient network
• $30 for TMo 5G when added to my family plan.

The TMo had more than double the speed. We need competition in this space. All the legacy companies are fat, slow, and lazy.

Keep in mind that though this is a blow to the industry, it’s not like optical media is just yet dead. Hell, there are still new releases to DVDs coming out today.

It never went away.
