This is an issue 47 US senators care deeply about. 53 of them think both sides need to do better, so instead of action we’ll just wait and see.

Seems like there should be. I bet people would donate to a marketing fund

i believe the IRS would consider this a gift.

It’s interesting that Microsoft is getting a lot of flack from this.

So, do all windows machines use this, or do you have to add this software?

Is there a good eli5 on what crowdstrike is, why it is so massively used, why it seems to be so heavily associated with Microsoft and what the hell happened?

Which is why we had federal police invade Oregon to arrest protestors.

Has a billionaire ever lost all their money? Outside of criminal cases. Seems impossible.

I’m curious about statistics. The post I replied to was about statistics.

Right. People use the “what if” as an excuse to ban abortions. But they don’t realize their logic can and should be used both ways.

This was still an issue in Reddit times, but usually a single thread would rise to the top.

Run it at 70% percent brightness.

Yeah, that’s in the quote. I’m more complaining about the concept of “net zero”.

From the cynical perspective, that makes 100% sense. Not everybody is so cynical, though.

That is the cynical reason for not doing anything ever to help the world.

Why should I vote? I’m one person and that will never make a difference.

Why should I recycle? I’m just one person and that will never make a difference.

Why should I donate to charity? I’m just one person and that will never make a difference.

Anything that you could do individually to help the world will make zero noticeable impact so long as you are the only one doing it. But collectively, the more people doing it the more of an impact it will have.

And how do we get a larger community of people to start something like this? Oh, I don’t know, maybe send your idea out on a forum of like minded people (such as people expressing concern about the environment) and hope to inspire others that actually care to make a change in their own habits.

If you are spending money on factory farmed meat, you are financing the industry.

They did mention that they are working on making 70% of this powered by solar panels. Maybe this will push forward solar technology in some way.

Producing that meat does.

Note that the commenter didn’t say to quit all eating meat. They just said to quit eating “factory farmed” meat.

It’s not about eating meat, it’s about factory farming the meat and the damage to the environment caused by it.
