Ah, yes, because Trump has been historically climate friendly, and didn't try to sell his presidency to oil companies even as little as a few weeks ago.

Great choice. Brilliant even.

Edit: For those down voting without a comment, please feel free to explain why you think not voting (which is going to boost Trump) or voting 3rd party (which again, is going to boost Trump) is helpful.

As opposed to not ignoring the differences between candidates, accepting that Biden is the lesser evil, pushing for progressives at the city/state level, and having a future path forward as opposed to what Trump has explicitly stated his plans are where there won't be a progressive option in the future.

I'd love to hear a viable alternative, really.

If I remember right on that one, users had even paid to have their data removed, too. But it was stored unencrypted. And that settlement included unidentified users which the money was going to be held onto for them to put ads in magazines or something. Wild.

The huge, nearly billion dollar Facebook settlement was something like $50/person. Google's privacy class action suit was like $10 per person.

And boy oh boy can we be sure they learned their lesson! Facebook and Google haven't done anything shady with private information since, right?

So that in 15 or so years, a class action lawsuit completes where Google now provides you with a whole $10 coupon to the play store and a check for $0.65.

Let's see...

My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about... 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.

I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I'd say about $40-50/mo is what I'm spending on powering the servers in my office.

Definitely puts off some heat, but that's partially because it's all in one rack, and I've got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It's about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it's a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).

Closing down the business entirely, selling off all it's assets, with claimants and creditors getting first dibs on cash.

He recently got laughed at again over Deadpool of all things.

Not really. It's gone from the alphabet handbook, not Google's.

Which was a hilarious bit for me recently with a guy saying "I HAVE THE HANDBOK FOR GOOGLE" and getting all upset despite my repeatedly pointing out that it was removed for alphabet, which is a different company.

It also got moved around in the Google handbook a bit. Still exists though.

I go on Lemmy and mastodon and have had no reason to visit reddit. The content on Lemmy reminds me of how reddit was many, many moons ago - less content, but higher quality. I'm part of that "older generation" of the internet, with the "information superhighway!" posters in my local library when I was in middle school, so I get what you mean.

My wife still visits (logged out) to read bestofredditorupdates, it's all she really likes that's there, which isn't really here yet.

Personally, I really like the federation model. I think it has a long way to go still, but this structure makes sense to me. I'm interested in seeing where it goes.

As far as other solutions like discord, I don't use it much aside from a few niche things where it's the best place, due to the number of non-tech people involved. I think that will shift over time too, as federated solutions becomes easier for the typical user.

Stand up a little VM with an install of Debian 9.

Don't mess with your main system, don't worry about flatpaks, and you can just get rid of it if you're done with it.

Neural networks, OCR, called one of the "godfathers of deep learning", etc, etc.

He's a brilliant, well known scientist.

Nah, just have it be like a palmtop!

Going to have to build one of them one of these days....

To add to this, virtually all GPUs out there with DP are DP++ and will not require an active adapter.

Consumers will almost never need to consider an active adapter for DP to HDMI, as well as single link DVI. HDMI to DP will always require an active (powered) adapter. As would DP to dual link DVI, VGA, or component.
