But what are they? Are they reasonable? Will they be able to weasel out trivially?

"These are tangible and important commitments that will benefit the industry and which can be measured."

Do they come with reparations if the commitments aren't met? If not they're worthless.

It isn't. Car culture is the result of legislation.

The list of things you are familiar with is far, far shorter than the converse. It's unclear why you want us all to know this, but you make sure to point it out at every opportunity.

This is true. Most would not do that. Historically, people found a hole to throw their refuse into so they wouldn't have to dig one.

They say data can be shared for TPO or sometimes for research purposes and the latter leans on anonymization which may or may not have been conducted correctly, probably not since it's hard. We need a much tighter standard that never allows sharing the data with another party without a warrant.

It wasn't. That was never a thing. It was just a bug that a human hadn't bothered to find yet. It wasn't obscured, it was only unexplored.

It's unclear why you tell so many lies on behalf of Microsoft, but it would be cool if you could stop.

Yes, you got the joke, microorganisms are 1-3% of our mass, and absolutely critical. We're a whole damn town.

They're bad when they're chaotic. Some tariffs are bad and others are good. The world is a lumpy place. If we wanted to address this problem we could have done it with tariffs designed specifically to equalize cost of production to make it unprofitable to use slave labor or ignore the impact to the environment, but we clearly don't want to fix it.

When you find one, ask them if they can find your sippy cup and put you down for a nap.

Probably true here in the USA. In countries with education and class, people can be convinced to sort their own trash.

Another partial fix would be to reduce the waste to begin with. A lot of things are grossly overpackaged. They go into a box good more than enough for shipping, then they go into a case for shipping just to contain them. All packing materials should be genuinely recyclable (not just stamped with a triangle) or home compostable. And every company should be responsible for the disposal of any packaging or goods which cannot simply be recycled.

"Because I can tell you with 100% certainty that when *I* use it, *I* get clean, functional, sometimes beautiful, well designed, and well implemented results."

That's what everyone thinks. Thinking that doesn't make you special.

Not only don't we but we especially don't need it to be based on compiz. I've already been down that road. It's all but abandoned. It's way too flaky for prime time. Went back to KDE, much better.

That's fine, but it doesn't matter who does, because congress explicitly didn't give them this power. It's not a matter of debate (the debate already happened) and it doesn't matter who appointed the person who doesn't have the power to do this.
