British Museum is digitizing its entire collection in response to recent thefts | All of that scanning will cost over $12 million.

  • Of course not. People can't be trusted to take care of their own historical artifacts. Britain will take better care of them. If they want to see it, they can just pay to fly across the world to see them. It's surely better this way.

    • Remote work may cut greenhouse gas emissions by more than half

  • To be clear, this is talking about reducing an individual's carbon footprint... a drop in the bucket compared to big industry. They also mention re configuring offices to use more shared spaces and occupy less space overall by sharing office space and resources by rotating workers use of the same resources instead of having individual spaces for everyone. That apparently is about a 23% decrease for the office carbon footprint. None of this is about the total greenhouse emissions of the country like the headline sort of vaguely implies. It also requires major logistical changes that, while hopeful to think would happen, I suspect companies aren't going to do as it requires serious restructuring of how they operate.

    Now, I'm not saying that we shouldn't try things that aren't the perfect solution. I am just pointing out how this is just another idea that ignores the real problem. Just another thing making it seems like individuals are the problem.

    I also want to be clear that I'm not against working from home.

  • Norway is mixed market capitalist, like most developed countries. They do have a strong welfare system, though. I'd imagine it's similar in the other countries in the list you mention too, but I'd have to see what they are.

    • the internet is worse.

  • You make good points. I do think maybe if we never went down this road of everything being ad supported, then it wouldn't be this bad. It is the world we live in now, though, and I doubt there is any going back to what could have been

    • the internet is worse.

    Jump

  • I pretty much agree, but I really wish we could move away from ads being literally everywhere in our lives. I'd rather them just charge a little bit more and have a better experience. It's probably falling on deaf ears, though, because nobody ever wants to pay for anything on the internet.

  • What a shitty clickbait title. Makes it sound like this is a bad thing, even though the article doesn't paint it in that way. I'm sure people who only read the title will stir up a bit of outrage over nothing.

    Before anyone says it, I know the title is the same as the article. I'm aiming my criticism at that, not the post.

  • It's been a while since I set mine up but iirc yes. Either that or ventoy creates a partition itself during install specifically that it searches to populate the list when you boot it. The nice thing beyond that is it even lets you explore other disks on the system. So if you have other isos on an unencrypted drive installed in the computer you can also browse to that and boot from it.

  • I think it is when I fell down an escalator when I was 4 or 5 years old. Apparently I was fine. I generally don't remember much from my early life but I guess the trauma from that set it into my mind. I'm currently 27 for reference.
