With a blacklist like that, I'm surprised any content appeared at all, the instances listed cover most of what I see on All

It all well and good comparing data centre energy usage with global production. But you miss out the important reality that a good chunk of the data centres running today and in the near future are using fossil fuel power on-site, without a grid connection, which is so much worse.

A lot of stores in the UK men don't even have a floor, we have a corner

For everyone it's different, for myself it started off as "I wonder what that would feel like". Obviously any mentally balanced person would never have that kind of thought occur, but it was curiosity that started it. Then I became more interested in the sensation and it almost started to become addictive.

So yes, I think the want to feel anything at all plays a big part for most people, and a lot do tend to find it addictive too.

I've been seeing that too and it's definitely bugging me, not just subnautica too. Many articles relating to early access releases are talking about them like 1.0 is dropping immediately.

If I'm not actively using my PC for anything it is shut down and turned off from the wall socket. 3 monitors and a pc on the same extension, even when they're not switched on still draw power. I'm in the UK though and electricity isn't cheap.

It takes all of maybe 5-10 seconds from power on to desktop, I've barely gotten comfortable in my chair before it's ready for my login, I can't see any reason whatsoever to leave my PC powered on, ever.

This example might shed some light on how malicious QR codes can work.

There's a lot of car parks in my area which have had QR codes stickered to the payment meters, instructing people to use the QR code to pay for their parking. These are council or private car parks, but the code takes you to a site that accurately mimics a usual carpark payment site. So people think they've paid for parking, but have actually sent money to a scammer, and they also end up with a fine for non-payment from the entity that actually owns the carpark.

Straight up the best post I've seen today

The killer was sentenced the other day with life imprisonment for murder, so yeah, no doubts for this one.

I only used the polled notifications, refused to install the official crap

Yeah what they mean is that even though the Fediverse is a web of instances, which operate independently, this bean craze still spread just like it would on a single site. Just emphasises the cohesiveness of the Fediverse

I recall there being a phenomenon where drivers brains actually filter out hi-vis jackets as "unimportant data" because we see them so much.

Just the one goose actually

DMC 1, GTFO and Valhiem, got a nice mix going for now

Absolutely disgusting and not surprising, 4 constabularies are sorry they got caught.

I've seen a lot of these questions recently and no one ever seems to mention Teamspeak, the predecessor to Discord. High quality audio among a bunch of other features, TS6 is where I'm going, since all I need is basic VC rooms and text channels. Discords other "features" should never have picked up like they did in the first place, fuck the companies that use it as a support forum.

I've noticed this happens often when you already own something in the bundle
