Java for this flash in the pan mobile shit? Sure, they like breaking things.
Java for enterprise? No. They’re probably only just finished converting that COBOL system to it, and they started 20 years ago. People have died while making it. They will never change anything.
There used to be a UI library on the Amiga called MUI.
It used a bunch of C macros to let you define the window and all the controls. Was honestly pretty good considering it was like 30 years ago.
On an individual level I can’t unalive a child.
Well, with latest in Israeli technology…
I fear that the likes of Trump in charge will only reverse any progress we’ve made in the West.
The developing world is going to use more and fossil fuels unless we basically pay them to use something else. And foreign aid seems to be a thing of the past too. I can’t really blame the rest of the world. The west has grown fat and rich off the last 150 years of using it, and now we’ve got the gall to turn to them and tell them not to.
The consumption data is quite interesting. Takes into account the fact that we put most of our emissions in China, and shows what we actually consume per person. And indeed the UK and US have gone down, and India and especially China, have gone up. But that World figure seems pretty flat overall. And we all live on the same ball of slowly heating rock, and none of us are anywhere close to being net zero.
OK, if society achieves net zero, you can have as many children as you like.
But given that it’s been going up since the industrial revolution, and it’s still going up, it seems rather fanciful to suggest that it’s within our grasp.
A number of countries have reduced emissions massively, but realistically that mostly means “we’ve moved all our emissions to China”. I could buy green energy from my supplier, but for me that was still coming from a big coal power station a few miles up the road until last year when they finally closed it.
And frankly, if corporations can count the carbon a tree will capture over 30 years and somehow “offset” that against a dirty great factory when they hurl a few pennies at a third world farmer, then we can count the carbon our descendents will emit over that time as well.
I’ve got an LED bulb so efficient it glows slightly even when it’s not plugged in.
Yeah, that’s one that doesn’t take a lot of lifestyle change either.
Although it’ll vary based on how much you drive. My wife drives a tiny car and did under 3000 miles last year, so wouldn’t actually make a lot of difference for us. Might as well run it until it keels over, by which time electrics will be even better than they are now. Or enshittified beyond belief. One of the two.
Although if you regularly eat a kilo of red meat a day, you should probably talk to your doctor about those blood spots when you wipe your arse.
That’s almost certainly the biggest dietary change you can make.
But for overall impact, there’s one winner and it’s bigger than everything else put together.

Capitalism hates this one weird trick.
Mate, this isn’t a new church roof.
Your fundraisers are going to want that money back and then some. Forever.
Why do you think Musk wants to colonise Mars?
//look, I know this makes no fucking sense, but Debbie at MoronCo insisted it worked like this or she wouldn't pay us
Performance, but Death Stranding 2 looks weird (really washed out) in that so I left it on quality. It’s not a fast paced game, so I’m ok with that.
Sounds like a great day for a false flag attack to solidify the masses against a perceived threat.
Nothing wrong with a, i, s and x.
I mean, that’s what publishers have been charging money for for way too long.
There’s been like three versions of The Last of Us 1, and I’ve got games older than that on my back list.
Which CSS framework is it that puts this shit everywhere?
That one can die in a fire.
Right? I can’t tell you how disappointed I was to move to a “real” PC later and find the tools to be so much worse. Like you could position stuff with a GUI in VB or Delphi, but if you wanted to resize a window, it was a real faff to get everything moving about as it should.
