Sorry Fritz, you’re a Nazi lol

I agree with you that the real reason for it is EEE but their justification for it is that for enterprise and corporate customers, the only ones they care about, they can’t control Firefox in the same was as they can Edge or Chrome with the Microsoft Account add in which allows the MDM agents like InTune to apply DRM. Their primary concern (so they claim) is the enterprise administrators ability to control the computer, provide settings, configure defender xdr security and all the other bs products they sell.

Just because I love numbers

I live in a desert climate and I have an all electric two bedroom, two bathroom, attached home. The unit has an area of 109sqm. Over the course of the year my monthly average is 622 kWh. This includes times where I run the roof-mounted air conditioning unit all day and its 46C outside. It actually becomes hotter when the sun goes down before getting cooler again because the ground absorbs heat during the day and it radiates back out to space at night passing through the city. I only use air conditioning for 4.5 months a year, the rest of the time I open the windows and use fans.

2022 Average: 622.6667 kWh or 20.755

2022 Air conditioning months average (June - September): 828 kWh or 27.625 daily

2022 Non air conditioning months average (including May which is partial): 519.625 kWh or 17.320 daily

The daily numbers lose some fidelity because I’m lazy and divided the averages by 30.

This is my total energy usage including my hot water heater, two computers, TV, electric stove, often used oven, lighting, fans, and various small appliances. You figure that the rough average air conditioning energy usage is the difference between the daily averages or 10.304 kWh per day and 309 kWh per month

Considering urban development where I live is nearly water neutral and I have a mix of solar power and natural gas generation, it is funny to me because people in northern parts of my country tell me about how where I live must be somehow more unsustainable than where they do. My region also grows a significant portion (read 90% of the total) leafy green vegetables they eat year round.

You’re probably not correct about TPM and secure boot being dropped. Microsoft’s entire enterprise line of security products including Intune and Defender for Endpoint are integrated to it and Microsoft Azure AD/Entra ID uses it for their certificate based enrollment and authentication. This is their primary profit drivers, not consumers.

I lived in a town in northern Arizona for a while and it was the worst. Everyone you met there said they moved there because they didn’t like people… oh so I guess they didn’t want to be friends 😬. Someone called the cops because my dirt patch lawn wasn’t neat enough. There was a concert in the main square in town of Scream-o music praising Jesus. The highschool students had a milquetoast BLM solidarity march around the courtyard in a place that bills itself as “America’s Hometown” and they were met by armed militias pointing loaded weapons at them.

I moved.

No thanks. I’d rather stab myself in the eyes repeatedly than live a bumpkin life in rural America for even one second.

There is a major fork of Chrome already being widely used created by a large company… Microsoft Edge.

The Plus is that all the space stuff and exploration is a plus because in reality it is funded by the military industrial complex to help them make efficient weapons as their primary focus

They can, that is what kbin is. They just want to complain and bitch about a non for profit and community run project by volunteers with wild expectations of corporate for free efficiency instead of doing anything

unable to capitalize

growth

I mean isn’t the criticism that they are literal communists.

You are free to fork and work on the software but I’m not seeing anyone doing it.

Well, the alternate for hosting and delivering remote applications at scale are things like Citrix. The headaches of modern web delivery are worth it lol

Microsoft has nothing to do with the manufacturer of mother boards and if you chose one without UEFI in 2021 then you are free to choose Linux. I honestly haven’t seen a motherboard with out UEFI in about 10 years so I’m not sure what you are even talking about, especially on the high end.

No todos, pero siguen siendo atrapados.

You don’t have to wonder about what the Lemmy devs do and don’t know. They aren’t cloistered or unreachable, you can just join matrix room and talk to them nearly at any time.

The main thing halting progress on the code is time and money. The devs are under strain from the amount of fixes and issues from the sudden burst in lemmy users so they are in an operational mode that isn’t ideal. For my part I’m one of the monthly contributors to the project; Lemmy is community developed software, not corporate.

“Tankies” are a non existent threat that only exists in your mind. The largest groups of editors and edits come directly from Langley and Washington DC government offices.

Sorry you live in a shithole

I don’t believe any thing any of these people say ever. I believe twitter was deeply unprofitable before Musk and is just going to follow the path of any business that has no future. Online ads are not worth what they say they are, never have been, never will be, it is all smoke and mirrors.

This is not a true comment. You can’t add spo sites like that, would only work with SharePoint 2019 on premises. Microsoft removed webdav with the retiring of basic auth 2 year ago. You can only add SharePoint to explorer with OneDrive sync.

Then you’ve never worked in a high security environment.

I ask chat gpt for really specific things like creating template language and writing short powershell scripts I could write but don’t have the time/don’t care about. It is useful but not revolutionary or risky for me.
