They tried that, it was called Google Contributor. Nobody actually put their money where their mouth was and they shut it down.

From what to what?

I don’t need no gubbermint burrocrat to tell me that eating fries is delicious.

I’m gonna miss having a health department. Please send help, the USA is not OK.

Because that’s where all the users are. The “social” aspect of a “social” network. Anyone can host a forum but it’s useless without users.

If a social network is to take off, it must be accessible from mobile devices behind CGNAT (carrier grade network address translation).

I guess you’ll have to start spending more time in high school bathrooms.

Isn’t that what Mormons promise lol

Why does everything have to be so us-vs.-them? We all share the same planet.

Ullluvunn!

That won’t happen because Apple and Google hate open source.

Have you seen Waymo?

Women can’t even do their civic duty without some fucking weirdo sexualizing them.

Statements made in quarterly financial calls are a very particular level of legally binding, so CEOs sound like that because they are terrified of making promises that won’t be kept.

Keep in mind that in quarterly financial statements, any forward-looking promises made are pretty much legally binding so CEOs never give specifics.

You need an internet break.

Follow-up question: what defines a “nootropic” to you?

This is short-sighted. The amount of extra power the computer draws at a high power state while performing boot-up tasks makes the sleep power draw a better option. Not to mention the sleep power draw happens at off-peak hours where the grid can provide more green power vs. the dirty mid-morning peak power. The break-even point that I’ve calculated across the machines I’ve plugged into my meter is approximately 3-4 days. With a big ol’ “it depends” sticker slapped on top.

Edit: and my lazy methodology doesn’t even account for the extra energy used by the machine throughout the day when it has to cold-start various programs and tasks without any caches.

Double-edit: if you want to go the extra mile you can use the “hibernate” feature of windows after force-enabling it or the “pmset sleepmode {whateverthefuckitis} “ of macOS to split the difference. Or you can take a shower that’s literally 10 seconds shorter because heating shower water for literally only 10 seconds will use more power than any of these things. I strongly implore you to calculate your trip to the grocery store in kilowatt/hrs as well. Optimize where it matters!

You can wake a Mac by clicking the mouse or hitting literally any of the hundred+ buttons on the keyboard.

…also this power button is dumb.
