I remember reading an article a few years back about physics undergraduates who didnt know how to use a computers file system. They could learn, but these are smart likely at least fairly tech inclined kids and they didnt know how to navigate folders on a computer at 18.

Countries have being cozying uo to China because they dont help protect global shipping?

The main difference is Ukraine can defend itself, Gazans cant. Given that Russian forces have been constantly attcking power and food infrastructure and have even breached dams I think its fair to say they would do what Israel does if they could.

Works perfectly for me on desktop with firefox

The same reason people dont go around harassing nazis when they are talking about football, most people arent terminally online enough to recognise usernames and build up a profile of them in their head and just judge whats in front of them.

They're kinda right, but not in the way they think they are. It's not that the left has being advocating for minority rights that is the problem, it's that they have been focusing on that while dropping policies to support the working class that is the issue. The fact that getting more women and black people on to corporate boards has been more of a focus than affordable housing has been slowly driving alienation from mainstream left wing parties.

Because its a comparison, no one cares how much energy playing a video uses compared to heating your house on may the 5th as opposed to december the 12.

sorry yes, typed it wrong, right final number though

But what are you suggestign they have embraced then extended with the intent of extingushing it? Just buying up competetors is certainly anti-competative but it doesnt fall into the pattern of EEE.

That name comes from typesetting errors rather than factual mistakes (and is also a holdover from the pre-computer era when spell checking wasnt a thing)

this includes the power used on the back end, not just the power used by the end user.

Yes, averages are a thing.

I was just using the numbers given in the article, presumably its an average including any sort of caching.

it actually is an enlightening comparison when you dig into it. It's saying that the energy required to power one play of a song is 4e4*365/5e9 of the energy to heat a home for one day. That comes out to about 0.3%, i.e. if you watch a three minute youtube video three times and do absolutely nothing else that day but heat your house (dont use any other electricity, dont eat anything, dont travel anywhere) you increase your energy usage by a total of 1%

Cant speak for all Europe, but again in the UK it exists but is far less pronounced than in the US. A slight uptick rather than a boom. Dont forget that while the US economy was going gangbusters after the war as the only untouched industrial economy most of europe was either rebuilding from ruins or was close to bankrupt.

w.r.t. voting intension, I slightly over egged it from memory, but it was about 75% left for under 30s and 70% right for over 70s at the last election. link

Israel didnt exist for about 1900 out of the last 2000 years...

I dont know about the US but in the UK the age gap is vast. Something like 80% of 75+ vote tory or extreme right and a similar % of under 30 for lib/lab/green

Its very much the same demographic as early reddit: male, 20s/30s EU/NA, into tech and left leaning to very left wing.

The point you seem to be missing is that it isnt that linux is too hard for average people, it isnt id even say its easier than windows to use for people who arent deep into using windows already.

Its that installing any os is too much for regular people and Microsoft have been fighting dirty and abusing market dominance to make sure they kill pre-installed linux machines.

I am shocked, shocked I say to see some one with a lemmy.ml account spouting talking points to back up vicious right wing dictatorships that are aligned against the west.

Well, maybe not that shocked...
