This seems to he based on a lot of hypothetical and not actual data.

The study examined the carbon footprint associated with each user per minute by incorporating the emissions associated with data centers, which made up about 99% of the footprint, and the emissions associated with charging devices after using the platforms.

TikTok’s emissions are the most opaque of the social media platforms. Tech giants such as Meta and Google release detailed reports to the Carbon Disclosure Project every year, even posting their findings to their respective websites. TikTok has no publicly available emissions data.

It’s just the theoretical output of emissions needed to run a Data Centre based off viewers and average time spent. While these are all rough numbers it could also very well be that the Data Centre’s are powered at least in part by renewables.

So it would make sense that Tiktok would use up a lot of electricity for its platform. We just can’t be sure how much of it actually translates into more emissions.

Fear not—there’s no one-click option, so no one should be in any danger of absent-mindedly buying a brand-new Palisade.

Well that’s reassuring. I was getting worried. I honestly hate when that happens.

Are any of these open source or trustworthy?

Unfortunately, regulatory gaps still remain, even in this case. The TCPA does not apply to nonprofit organizations, religious institutions, or calls to landlines. Harper said the FCC is transparent about, and pushing to close, such “loopholes.”

That’s a pretty big loophole given how big the alt-right Christian movement is.

Just squint at the screen the way your ancestors did.

Because the game was incredibly successful and other companies tried to copy the formula. The same reason a lot of companies tried to copy Fortnite or League of Legends.

No other gaming platform has the userbase Steam does. I see this more of a numbers thing than anything else. If 2% of the gaming population is far right then it’s going to be much more noticeable when one company has a userbase of ~100million. I’d be very surprised if the other companies like Ubisoft and EA have this kind of content moderation.

What industry standards is he talking about here? Steam code of conduct only says you must engage in lawful behaviour. There’s no American law banning far-right symbols. There’s no doubt Steam has a content moderation issue and I would love to see those things go as well. But unless there’s some kind of law then Valve is just going to ignore this problem like they’ve done in the past.

Opinion of what exactly?

Ah that’s my bad. My point still stands though. It’s not like he was able to convince everyone to become Protestant.

No pope has ever had the power to change everyone’s mind with a single word or speech. That’s never been a thing.

MLK definitely did not change everyone’s opinion. A lot of people? Sure. Everyone? Absolutely not.

Was there ever a time that this was the case?

Pretty sure that’s what forestation is all about.

I feel likes these sayings are more of a commentary om how one needs to accept certain things in life and learn to move past them.

That’s what filters are for.

The best thing about online games is the opportunity for Mats, and others like him, to be who he truly was. Once you find the right group of people, it doesn’t what color your skin is, what’s between your legs, what your physical advantages/disadvantages are. All that mattered was your character and your determination. And you aren’t limited by your geography even. You can interact with people all over the world and enrich yourself along with enriching themselves by providing a brief glimpse in each others lives. It’s actually a beautiful thing how many stories there are like this one there are out there. Games like WoW enabled Mats to be the person who he truly was before he passed. It’s a bittersweet moment for the parents. I hope it gives them the closure they need.

Except if the person decides to harass or stalk you in real life after reading the reasons. These aren’t hypotheticals, these things happen.

This sounds like a good idea on paper but will likely be terrible in real life. A lot of people ghost for their own safety. So many people have stories of dates turning nasty if they feel like they’re being rejected or criticized. Being forced to describe what you don’t like about the other person will not always end well.
