  • Other animals are lesser than humans. This is why people think self driving cars who have to crash into either a human or an pet should crash into the latter.

  • Believe it or not, fascism in the human world is generally considered to be more concerning by most people. I sure do wonder why.

  • So they made an intentionally bad chess agent? That also already exists.

  • Margin of error assumes the sampling is random and representative, which of course is very hard to achieve in practice and especially with a laughably small sample size. Not really some magic number of truth as you'd like to present it.

  • That's a sample of a few hundred people in an online poll. Not the most convincing evidence

  • So Windows 10 LTSC isn't affected by this?

  • I'm going to take a risk and say you write faster than you type

    I have a very hard time believing this. From some quick googling, it seems that experienced writers can do 40 wpm, which is really slow in comparison to an (even an inexperienced) typer. Also, typing has no risk of being unreadable, unlike writing (e.g. doctor's written notes).

    and reaching for a pencil is quicker than launching a program.

    Maybe if your computer is really slow.

  • Tea App A Second Tea Breach Reveals Users’ DMs About Abortions and Cheating

  • No need for evidence. The idea of anyone being able to claim anything about a person without proof is inherently flawed. Are you saying that the app has some magical feature which forces everyone to tell the truth? No disgruntled ex can make up things about their previous partner? I would love to see you prove that.

  • Arguing that tea was for "telling on predatory dudes" is like saying backdooring encryption is to catch people spreading CP.

  • Sounds good to me! With no mention of having to limit our internet usage.

    You don't have the power to decarbonize all electricity or to create and enforce laws to reduce the rate of e-waste. Until this changes, you have the power to limit your bandwidth usage, which is something that would result in less e-waste and less energy usage (and inherently less carbon emissions since all electricity isn't decarbonized). You're essentially saying "the paper says you can fix the problem in the future so I don't give a fuck about the problem now", which is not very bright.

    And if reducing bandwidth waste really were that important, it would have go both ways anyway, with the providers optimising their content (probably forced to do so by regulations in some way).

    My god. This might be the most naive thing I've ever read. This would be like saying "if carbon emissions were really that bad, oil and coal would be illegal". Guess what? The climate will be (and has already been) irreversibly damaged if we don't drastically reduce the amount of carbon fuel being used and no regulations have successfully come close to getting the necessary drastic reduction. Turns out everything that's bad doesn't magically get solved by regulations, especially when rich companies which rely on e.g. carbon fuel and bandwidth have major influence over politics due to their massive amount of resources.

  • As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes

    Jump

  • You do realize that it's harder to move to renewables if the energy required keeps increasing? Higher bandwidth usage requires expansion of internet infrastructure to account for peak usage which increases the amount of energy used, not only for the manufactured hardware (which will likely turn to e-waste at some point) but also to keep the infrastructure running. I highly recommend reading research about the sustainability of the internet.

  • Youtube and tiktok are video platforms (instagram turned into one some years after creation). Telling them to stop having videos is equivalent to saying they should cease to exist. Spotify is a music streaming platform. Telling them to stop having videos has a minimal impact on their business model, which is evident by the fact that Spotify was widely successful before they started including videos.
