True, now I need to look at what research says. Is it CO2 only, or is there a combined effect?

Though at the same time, human heat engines will have some sort of impact on the environment. To claim otherwise is fallacious.

Imagine your house at 10C and you turn your 2000W computer on, then you'll be warming that space to above the initial 10C. If enough human made machines are generating heat, then the environment will heat faster than what the environment will be doing without our influence. In the end, it is the humans and the other living species that will suffer from the resulting climate change. To the Earth we will just be dinosaurs V2, to be replaced with major species V3. At least the dinosaurs could claim they didn't know better.

True. Should be mandating businesses to use metric or dual unit display.

A lot of this is probably still an influence of the US being a trade partner, but given current politics, maybe this is a good time to further push the missing metrification?

Right now GitLab is a potential alternative and you can even host it in your own network.

Possibly. Just consider the impact of RAM prices, to the AI providers .

The king is still head of state, so I'm okay with that.

Too late. That was already a thing in 1970.

You're right we should allow business to abuse monopoly positions, infringe on privacy and not give a damn about the negative social impacts. Oh and funnel money into tax havens. /s

Cases like this, make me feel that there should be laws against NDAs in the context of customer settlements.

But it feels proudly like an American way of doing business :'(

Well, they won't be able to calculate how much the USA is giving up to other countries. Then again, given the current administration and hallucinating AI, they can just make stuff up?

Getting policy right is hard. Sometimes you need to prepare a mindset change or test out an approach, though certainly there are things that fail miserably due to unintended consequences. See this like developing software, but instead it is policy.

What will be interesting is how long before the W3C comes up with a solution that can work across browsers and websites, and then how long before it gets adopted by browsers and websites.

They probably did their research, for what people would pay, especially taking into account crazy fashion choices and the FOMO factor.

Though if Google is setting "ninety-day countdown to full disclosure regardless", then they are essentially pressuring a group og volunteers to change focus and deal with that problem. That's the spiteful part. If Google cared about the open source it benefits from, they could set aside some devs or even provide some financial help to deal with this,

A company like Google could even contribute quality fixes, but by humans. Asking volunteers to solve a problem that the multi-million dollar company is benefiting from is cheap and spiteful, especially if said company provides no value to the project.
