Might as well just go dumb phone then…

You should put a little star next to the tag to complete the irony of it.

No…NPR is National Public Radio, it’s the broadcasting organization, not a show.

This probably wouldn’t be something that you as a person is running the HW for, so you have no direct expense to HW or maintenance. This would likely be government driven and paid through taxes. Its basically just NPR, but with low bandwidth internet instead.

Yes very sad. It is terrifying that this is also somewhat necessary in countries where they tout “free speech” as a core value.

Use of the Palestinian flag is censored and targeted many places, so people replace it with a watermelon with the same color scheme to still show support but with a symbol that they can’t really censor.

Not just capitalism, under any system…this is a people problem that exists within all ideologies.

It’s not capitalism, it would happen under any system. It’s caused by psychotic power hungry narcissists willing to do anything to stay in control…you know, the type of people willing to do anything to obtain power in the first place. It is the bane of society, only the people who are unfit to have the power are the ones who seek it.

The custom-built laser system, called the Light Wave Synthesizer 100

Man they really missed the mark with the name…you always use numbers in the thousands! Light Wave Synthesizer 3000 sound so much cooler

A small data center has been estimated to use upwards of 25 million liters of water per year if it relies on old-school cooling methods that allow water to evaporate.

So pass a law banning evaporative cooling systems from all industrial and commercial applications (or single out data centers), give them 6 months to comply and start handing out fines every day past the deadline.

Yeah the documentation (if it even exists) of most projects is usually clearly written by people intimately familiar with the project and then never reviewed to make sure it makes sense for people unfamiliar with it. But writing good detailed documentation is also really hard, especially for a specialist because many nontrivial things are trivial to them and they believe what they’re writing is thorough and well explained even though it actually isn’t.
