Twitch is lucky with just pictures. In actual reality we have the actual Jeff Bezos.

Greenland should get the world to stop using Mercator projection maps. They'll see there's less to plunder and leave them alone.

But Bill Gates ain't no Jesus Christ.

They bought the piece for 2.5 million pounds in 1980.

They can make back ten times that amount selling a scan of the image as an NFT. They'll probably make yet more pointing out it's an original of a scam.

Then it will be art again, instead of just a beautiful painting of great historical value. (/s)

The problem is a broken system. Shuffling money around within that broken system while keeping it going doesn't change our trajectory.

He could change the system, but his money comes from locking people into a cycle of dependency (his customers, suppliers, and employees), creating a culture of craving and waste, extracting wealth from them, capturing regulatory agencies to maintain that capture, and extracting resources from nature and turning them into landfill waste and worse.

He's distracting us from the problem, which includes his business model and his character, if that word applies to him.

A corollary question: If it can't reduce it and producing chips as we do will degrade the environment, will we accept limiting production to save ourselves or just plow ahead and say there was nothing we could do?

> Almost one out of five or 16.3%

16.3% is almost one out of six. Skipping an integer like that seems wrong and worth pointing out on Slashdot.

> you CAN cut yourself off from Facebook, but for many people, that means becoming a virtualized hermit

"For every 12 calories we put into the food system, we only deliver 1 calorie for human nutrition" -- ARPA, with sources within.

Most food energy comes from fossil fuels, not sunshine, so food waste causes drilling and burning more fossil fuels. It doesn't have to be this way, and before the Green Revolution, it wasn't, but it is now.

As for your ways to reduce CO2 emissions, you suggested replacing combustion engines' electricity but not simply reducing the need. Not wasting food and regenerative agriculture do so, as do many other things, like carpooling, commuting by bike, avoiding meat, turning off the a/c when not home, and having fewer children. Not everyone can do all of them. Many can do more. Nearly all lead to improved health, length of life, happiness, community, family time, and more indicators of well-being, despite common expectations.

I'll put a note on my calendar that day to keep using Linux.

It seems a bit low, but since they knew what they were doing it seems reasonable to fine them $5 million per call.

It was per call, right?

I can't keep track of which one Putin uses more, Trump or Zuckerberg, but he seems to have both under his thumb.

These companies and the people in them don't seem to mind using the services we taxpayers paid for in the court system and NASA.

Pay your share and stop being a parasite.

> cost of anti-doping for weightlifting and powerlifting is staggering

If they're staggering under the load from doping, it's having the opposite effect as desired and they should stop.
