Like most things with environmental impact, we just let later generations deal with it. Somehow.

Microsoft jumped fully on the AI hype bandwagon with their partnership in OpenAI and their strategy of forcing GenAI down our throats. Instead of realizing that GenAI is not much more than a novel parlor trick that can't really solve problems, they are now fully committing.

Microsoft invested $1 billion in OpenAI, and reactivating 3 Mile Island is estimated at $1.6 billion. And any return on these investments are not guaranteed. Generally, GenAI is failing to live up to its promises and there is hardly any GenAI use case that actually makes money.

This actually has the potential of greatly damaging Microsoft, so I wouldn't say all their decisions are financially rational and sound.

Nuclear has its advantages, but there is hardly anything as cheap and maintenance free as solar+batteries. Anyone can set it up, and it just runs all by itself for years and years.

In Europe, the price for electricity on the spot market regularly goes in the negative. Jep, you can get paid money to consume electricity because it's so abundant.

Look at France, their new NPP is taking 12 years and 12 billion euros more than planned. Is it really worth all that financial and environmental risk building something poisonous and explodey that needs constant attention?

Who knows, maybe OP is playing competive PVP in the browser on his phone?

Wo wir noch ein Farblaser hatten musste ich einmal Gelb holen für jede zweite Kartusche schwarz. Das liegt an den tracking dots. Die Qualität der Laserdrucker ist ja so unfassbar gut (/s), dass die Hersteller damit Falschgeld etc zurückverfolgen wollten. Tintenstrahldrucker haben das nicht, also zumindest mein Epson Ecotank nicht.

Man kann in den Druckeinstellungen den Schwarz-Weiss-Modus erzwingen, dann wird garantiert nur schwarz, und eventuell etwas gelb , benutzt.

I've been trying to get into Gemini for a while now. There site aggregators and everything, but I've yet to find something personally engaging.

Well, they have to pay licensing fees for the media, pay crazy money for the IT infrastructure, which they have no matter how many downloads.

Both GNOME and KDE are first-class DEs in Fedora - stability is a non issue. You can install both if you want and select your choice at the login screen to just switch back and forth. The only thing you might want to keep in mind is that both have their own prpgrams, like file managers for example, so you'll have two programs for the same task.

Performance is a wash, really, with a halfway modern setup. Your browser will be consuming way more resources than the desktop by far.

Compatibility is also a non issue nowadays, both implement the Freedesktop standard and are fully compatible with each other.

I'm pretty sure that the installer is the same for all major spins.

Hope you have fun with Fedora!

Immer schau auf die helle Seite des Lebens!

I installed Bluefin on my mother's laptop and it's like a Chromebook for her. She just wants to surf and consume media, and the OS stays solid and out of they way.

Atomic distros are the biggest advance for Linux in recent years.

Got it, so I should be safe if I print it in PETG. Thanks!

So I got a crazy idea - hear me out - how about we just abolish copyright completely, for everyone?

I mean, it works in China pretty well.
