Almost all of it is AWS. Which has a what, a 30% margin? Your money at work.

I wanted to cancel Prime for a long time due to all the creeping enshittification. The last straw were ads on the Fire TV boot screen (I switched to Shield TV Pro) and the notice that ads were coming on Prime Video. I immediately canceled after that mail. 90 EUR less from me. Next incentive: order less.

Read that as religion blocked printers. Ought to delete that, don't want to give them ideas.

Which part of public ledger they don't understand?

Prime. Subscriptions with rebates still work. Prime video was already annoying enough with the ads at the beginning.

Killed Amazon Fire TV stick before, was on nVidia Shield TV pro. Will try to order stuff elsewhere in future, too.

And I finally canceled. It was the final enshittification straw that broke the camel's back.

Genuinely happy to hear this.

And it's a useless toy compared to my 1 k$ ceiling mounted white Epson.

I would certainly love to see a floatglass, aluminium and silicon production facility powered by renewable electricity only. And the previous steps in the production supply chain.

The problem with renewables aren't that they are dirty. It's that they're not self sustainable, while we're running out of fossils and minerals.

Never was subbed to those. Quality dived many years ago on those subs I cared about.

Quantity is not quality.

How much less electricity is UK using in 2023 vs 2022? Or pre-pandemic years.

You're probably drawing about 400-450 W.

My current supplier rate is about 0.6 EUR/kWh. I make some 1/2 to 2/3 of my power myself, for a price that's less than half of that.

How many W are you pulling, on the average? Or kWh per year.

SELinux rights can be a problem.

https://gitlab.com/flauncher/flauncher probably. Not sure yet, but has to be FLOSS.

Which is why I just bought an nVidia Shield Pro. Custom launcher coming tomorrow. Time to start torrenting again.

Teenagers. US teenagers, specifically. So definitely no big problem.

Personally for me the problem starts when there is no mobile hardware which supports free/libre OS. It is already visible in the supported hardware list of LineageOS. Large tablets, particularly.

Not unshielded, short-wave UV lamps used for sterilization. Stupid people sourcing the wrong lamps and stupid operators smelling ozone and not knowing what it means.
