My pc auto-upgraded because I donwloaded what I thought was just a regular update. I’ve been using 11 for like a year already, and it’s fine. Install powertoys, run christitus utility… The one thing that really bothered me for a while was not having as granular of a control of my taskbar, but that only lasted for like two weeks.
Same! I probably will be replaced just as all the other “meat sacks”, but I hope to at least be given a degree of dignity upon my inevitable demise.
I think of this anytime I see some alleged leftist on Twitter talking about anything as if they were paragons of ethics and morality. It might be a bit of cynicism on my part, but I can’t take it seriously whenever someone can’t take a hint that maybe they shouldn’t be in a platform owned by a Billionaire that makes a point in basing his personality on the fact that he is an imperialist bigot. I wish Twitter had stayed banned in my country…
Really cool that they can plant and harvest fresh vegetables in space. I bet they joked about eating space lettuce and tomato.
There’s a point made at the end of the article that most people seems to have missed entirely:
Existing facilities that can filter carbon dioxide out of the air only have the capacity to capture 0.01 million metric tons of CO2 globally today, costing companies like Microsoft as much as $600 per ton of CO2. That’s very little capacity with a very high price tag.
“We cannot squander carbon dioxide removal on offsetting emissions we have the ability to avoid,” study coauthor Gaurav Ganti, a research analyst at Climate Analytics, said in a press release. The priority needs to be preventing pollution now instead of cleaning it up later.
It’s obviously a matter of “why not both?”, and both the article and the scientists behind the report agree on it. However, a lot of people are betting their eggs on the idea that climate reversal technology will suddenly become a lot more effective and cheaper than it is right now. And sure, that may be the case, or not. For how many years have we heard of flying cars or self-driving autonomous vehicles and predicted that they were just around the corner, at most a few years away, but nada so far? Betting on the invention of a new technology that’ll make a very expensive process today way cheaper is a VERY naive and bad approach.
Because a lot of times other people will share things whenever there’s enough controversy? Often things will also show up on the news? Not that uncommon for things on twitter to show up outside twitter?
