Suddenly I’m worried about AI’s energy draw. “6 percent of global electricity” is not a small amount of electricity.

The model year and other relevant info is found in the first part of the VIN. There’s no legit reason for it to demand the whole thing, which it does.

I have no data on that. Cheaper and easier to get tlds like .world might be the most dangerous of all.

If it’s that bad, could you maybe give people a hint as to why we’d want to watch it and what it has to do with linux?

They’re probably just as dangerous as .com sites.

If we’re including television I’m disappointed that nobody mentioned Blackadder.

If not, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Anachronism means something else, especially with respect to movies.

Guess I should’ve gone with “Academic? It doesn’t even cover ancient Greece.”

Academic? History of the World Part I? I guess you could say it has about as much academic rigour as the average Mel Brooks movie.

Sure, the project is already bloated with so much complexity that what’s the harm in adding a little more? If you’re genuinely confused about it, see the entire rest of the Internet for details.

It has some advantages. It can be configured with simple text files and normal filesystem permissions. The sshd code is mature and has a proven record of good security. It doesn’t add yet another thing to systemd that has no business being part of systemd.

You should really be more specific. All of them have more content than netflix hulu vudu and prime video combined.

Default threat model: Some malignant demon, who is at once exceedingly potent and deceitful, has employed all his artifice to deceive me

In this case it’s not “carbon neutral” as in carbon neutral if you subtract the credit that a carbon offset company gave us for using our giant pile of money to bribe someone not to burn down a bit of rainforest on the far side of the world. It’ll be genuinely carbon neutral. Unlike the rest of us, F1 can afford to use the finest pure synthetic fuel made from organic hand-picked potatoes with energy from 100% green electrons.

It may be only a small gesture compared to the vast enterprise of shipping so many tons of equipment and people all around the world, but it’s sort of cool nonetheless.

Maybe their (and our) 25-year run of pretending that gasoline-electric hybrids were an adequate way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions is finally nearing its end.

[false claims that] journalists gave the recent PS5 game Stellar Blade (pictured below) bad reviews because its female characters are too hot

That seems an inadequate way of summing up the Stellar Blade controversy which on the whole was considerably more ridiculous than that.

Yeah, a general “electric vs. gas” comparison which elides the two big disadvantages of electric in familiar applications (which aren’t to be found in the motor) seems slightly subpar for xkcd. It’s valid from a certain narrow engineering perspective but not too helpful if what you’re thinking about is motorcycles.

If fossil fuels were so easy to give up we’d have done it by now.

If it’s more than none at all that’s pretty good. But adhering to open standards is also a factor in how we should judge these providers which goes beyond that.
