It’s way less than that. 2.39x10^20 is around 4% of 5.8x10^21. Not even close to “almost as much”. Looks like the authors don’t know their powers of 10. So if we dedicate 5% of the total energy for one year it could theoretically be done.

Yep, it’s close to 4% of the total. Not really “almost as much”.
Sure, but it also only counts book time. If you listen 2x it’s only 7.5 hours.
Nah, what’s worse is that it’s only 15(!) hours per month!
Not that I know of… Most of the time I forget to change, but since the second post I see is an ad 90% of the time I usually realize my mistake very quickly.
Have you tried just looking at “Following”? That shows everything in chronological order, without ads. Lets me quickly see what’s new, and then close the app. I don’t discover many new recipes anymore, but that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
Have you tried a sleep headband with bluetooth headset? I got one and it was a gamechanger
At least it gave credit to a reddit user when it suggested to a suicidal person that they could jump from the Golden Gate Bridge!
Yep. But I guess it was already banned on government phones right? (not from the US, so I’m not all that up to date…)
The section Methods on the Cambridge Analytica wiki page explains it pretty well. While it’s not proven to be able to directly influence voting, it’s effective at swaying people’s opinions and emotions about subjects.
The thing with tik tok isn’t only with the data China can gather from US residents. It’s also how they can use that information to influence the populace and send them propaganda, for example influencing the election results.
Nope. I have filtered both grad and hexbear out of my feed though, I don’t need their shit there. And don’t forget that many instances already are defederated with them, so there’s also fewer of them through that!
I was planning to, but ultimately didn’t. I have handed out personal blocks to obvious trolls and a brunch of hexbear users that spammed gifs in every single thread though.
Yeah. It’s pretty good in that regard. It usually hogs a bit, but it’s very good at releasing it if it’s needed elsewhere. FF though, not so much.
And yet since switching to firefox last year I’ve had more problems with FF eating memory and the browser slowing down, than I ever with Chrome. (not that I’m switching back)
For those wondering, ReVanced launcher short after that and is even better than Vanced.
but it doesn’t mean we ignore guns.
Uuuh, you sure about that? It seems like that shit keeps happening and nothing at all is being done about it.
Hey, don’t mix orcas in with sharks! They don’t attack people. (their boats, close to the mediterranean, have not been as lucly lately though…)
Not only amazing, but also a freaking machine when it comes to churning out books.
I don’t know much about the technology, so I can’t comment on that. But I don’t really see politicians pushing for this, at least not succesfully. There are too many rightwing obstructionists in most Western governments right now…
