While good, you should always keep in mind that using renewables for this means that power can’t be used for other purposes, meaning the difference has to be covered by other sources of energy. Always bear in mind that these things don’t exist in a vaccum. The resources they use always mean resources aren’t used elsewhere. At worst this would mean that new clean power is built to power a waste, and then old dirty power has to be used for everything else, instead of being replaced by clean energy.

1.5% to 3% is a doubling (100% increase). It’s not 1.5%, but 1.5 percentage points. It’s a very normal use of percentages

Beautiful… Now change AI mode to Slop mode for accuracy

The tools which make 1 tb HDDs also make bigger ones.

The debt doesn’t “go away”, the countries sell it on the market, causing the price of us bonds to drop. That causes the yield (what it costs the us to service the debt) to go up. Borrowing becomes more expensive. Repaying debt or borrowing more to pay interest becomes even more expensive for the us.

“AI-powered browser” Who exactly do these marketing people think will be impressed by that? Is it supposed to appeal to hardcore tech people? Non-techies?Will literally anyone be swayed by that blurb?

I’m interested to see in 5 years or so, once all the hyper-hype is hopefully subsides, what actual uses remain and how they look.

They NEEED to pump the copilot usage numbers to appease shareholders. It doesn’t matter if all copilot uses are accidental and unwilling, cause it’ll look great in the next quaterly report

And that is only a small part of the UN. The UN is much more than just the security council.

Lemmy is really weird about these kinds of things. The hive has decided your personal feelings towards game design must be punished I guess.

What brand are your running shoes?

If the electorate in a democracy want to end democracy, then it’s game over. You can’t save that.

Just be careful that irrecoverable damage hasn’t been dealt to the game industry and traditional distribution methods by the point that the enshittification starts. What I’m really concerned about is that Microsoft will do everything in their power to smash the current games industry to bits and then rule the ashes. The games industry will end up smaller and worse off, but Microsoft still makes more money since they control a larger share even if the pie shrinks and shrivels.

If wages rise in conjunction, I don’t see any issue. The theory is that slight inflation encourages putting money to use, either by consuming it or saving in a bank account (where the bank can lend it out) or investing it etc. That’s why some inflation is generally considered desirable.

That’s too sensible for the web. It almost makes sense, and there’s no fun compatibility problems to revel in!

That’s impressively awful

So what key are they gonna put there when all cheap generic Chinese keyboard makers start including this button on all their variants of keyboards?

Not a single soul wants this. They just want to use every foul trick to get you to use copilot (by accident even) just like they do with bing and their other garbage.

Since it’s probably reasonably rare it’s a good demonstration of the stability of Wayland. It makes sense to mention it imo
