It’s either time or money. If you have one but not the other, do what works, it’s fine, stop judging.

If you have neither though…

The production definitely plays a role, but it’s the huge datacenters for tracking you across the internet and even when not actively browsing. They track as much as they can.

What website you’re visiting, when you’re visiting it, how long do you stay on it, what you click on, what other website you’re coming from, your browser settings, operating system, VPN, IP address, even your mouse movements.

Your phone records a lot more. Google and Amazon listen to your conversations. The Facebook app scans your phone contact list, so they have my phone number even without me consenting to it.

These servers are built to invade the privacy of hundreds of millions of people and that eats up a lot energy and water.

When upset about AI datacenters, never forget that the advertising industry is polluting about just as bad. And of course, now ads are being combined with AI as well, so make that double.

What I read about ads once made sense to me:

It’s not as much about making the product look good or convincing people that they absolutely it. It’s more about people remembering it, whether they want to or not.

Marketing companies have entire departments for making sure ads waste as much of your memory as possible. As a bonus, they also burn up the climate.

“die ich nicht mag” klingt etwas mild für Menschen, die mich tot sehen wollen.

Bei dem offensichtlich rechten Tatmotiv würde ich ja von einer Wiederholungsgefahr ausgehen.

Ob Antisemitismus oder gar Verherrlichung vom Nationalsozialismus als Affekt zählt, bin ich mir auch nicht sicher.

“Eine Streifenwagenbesatzung bemerkte den Angriff und stellte den 71-Jährigen zur Rede. Nachdem seine Personalien aufgenommen wurden, durfte er weitergehen.”

Da greift ein Nazi jemanden an und darf dann einfach so weiter spazieren?!

Proton is Valve’s software to play Windows games on Linux. It’s mostly integrated with Steam, but can also be used for other games.

ProtonDB is a website to look up whether the games run with proton and, if necessary, any extra steps are required to make it work.

On protonDB, people are still reporting that it works.

Rocket League runs on Linux, doesn’t it?

Halloween’s already over, dammit!

It’s not that different from real life though

The fact that it’s believable and I looked it up…

I block every channel that puts an arrow or stupid face in the thumbnail.

The list is getting incredibly long…
