The Fan-Created Content Guidelines are not a contract that PETA has entered into. There are no grounds for a lawsuit for breach of contract, for copyright infringement, or for anything else.

Corn ethanol isn’t really renewable either. It works better if made from sugarcane, but it’s still a big food-vs-fuel problem.

Renewable liquid fuels have the same energy density.

I believe two reasons: first, political will. Fossil fuel companies are large and entrenched, and have lots of experience lobbying governments. They block things like carbon taxes.

Second, a strange sort of game theory where each player (each country) thinks “My individual contributions to greenhouse gasses are just a small part of the total. They won’t cause global catastrophe. Just an incremental increase in the existing catastrophe. The incremental harm won’t fall directly on me; it will be divided among many countries. If continuing to use fossil fuels provides some small economic advantage, it outweighs the portion of the harms that will land on me. As for the harms I experience from other countries’ carbon emissions, there’s nothing I can do to prevent them.”

The atmega328 and stm32f411 are good. Both are well documented, have boards available with good peripherals, and plenty of other hobbyist projects on them.

The atmega328 is 8-bit. It was made by Atmel, which was a great company until they got bought by Microchip a decade ago. Their IDE sucks now, but you can still program them with other tools and IDEs.

The stm32f411 is 32-bit, a bit more recent, and a bit more expensive. ST microelectronics has great documentation and hobbyist support.

These are microcontrollers, so you’ll be running without an operating system. If you want embedded Linux, you’ll need something with an MMU and more power than a microcontroller.

This is illegal in some places. It should be illegal everywhere in the US.

The usual way for me is to give certbot write access to a directory in the HTTP root, so the server can keep running.

For internal stuff, it may be easier to set up your own CA.

Medusa is apparently so ugly that looking at her turns you to stone. And she’s ugly because her hair is snakes.

But what if I like snakes? Can I feed the snek a cricket I caught earlier in the dungeon?

I can’t say I’ve ever seen that. Partly because my friends would never attack someone for linking something, partly because I’ve never met anyone who likes Discovery.

Try to get as much as possible off Windows. You can transfer the remaining Windows-only programs to a virtual machine in snapshot mode, or if necessary, a real machine with a backed up image, that you can reimage regularly.

Not everyone can get off Windows. But get as much as you can. Isolate what’s left.

3 words, but my job is still bullshit.

Hell no. I want to be unable to use that emoji for at least a year, preferably a lifetime.

(The Unicode consortium betrayed us, and themselves, by putting emoji in Unicode.)

China’s carbon dioxide emissions are more than a third of the world’s total emissions. Their CO2 emissions are increasing and accelerating.

No matter how much they subsidize solar, unless they implement a carbon emission tax, the emissions will keep increasing.

You can butt-stuff-shame people who would have condemned others for doing butt stuff.

I feel like we should be normalizing $1, $2, and $5 coins at this point. I know $1 coins exist, but nobody uses them. If I drop a $1 coin in a tip jar, people say sarcastically “thanks, that 25 cents will go a long way” because they think it’s a quarter.

Abolishing the USD cent comes way too late.

Was abolishing the half penny in 1857 a good idea? If so, then abolishing the quarter would be a good idea today. It has about as much buying power as the half penny did in 1857.

Thanks, that looks a little better, but still missing things like sending keystrokes to non-active windows. (Also, I’m on Mate desktop on most my computers.)
