The energy spent running it is going to be even more negligible than the bandwidth.
The blockers are in Gnome's design guidelines, which many Gnome-related apps tend to follow.
The quintessential app I am thinking of here is Bottles, which has one of the worst UIs I've had the displeasure of using in recent memory.
Open context menus.
I know the reasons. I do not agree with the reasons.
The climate costs aren't "insane". One billion devices receiving the push (probably an overestimate) represents about 0.02% of global internet traffic.
The guy kind of proves this in his own post. The annual emissions of 13 000 cars (which is what this would equate to on 1 billion devices) is fuck all on a global level. One city pushing for bike-friendly infrastructure will have 10x that effect.
This is not to say this isn't kind of a stupid update, but the only thing insane about the climate costs is how insanely contrived bringing them up here is.
Funny, for me it's the exact opposite. The design language of most of the apps is stupid. I'm on a PC. I have a mouse and a widescreen monitor. Why does the app have a single column smartphone app layout where everything is gigantic and the right mouse button is never used for anything?
It's kinda like how pizza is a vegetable.
In the EU, meat has to come from domestic ungulates, poultry, lagomorphs or wild game, otherwise it's not meat: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319971198_How_meat_is_defined_in_the_European_Union_and_in_Germany
It's not meat it's fish!
Cleverbot's trick was that it made humans respond to one another, it's actually kind of similar to this. The difference is that Cleverbot stored the responses and whenever a query was made it picked the closest stored match.
Back in my day this was called Cleverbot.
I've only ever heard of this comic seeing it posted here and it's like a fever dream. The story makes no sense and the pages jump from one scene to a completely different one with no rhyme or reason.
You would need each generation to have kids in their 30s and 40s to be a boomer with a gen alpha grandkid.
This is pretty much exactly the case in my social circle. The boomers had millenial kids and the millenial kids either don't yet have kids or their kids are under 10 (making them gen alpha).










That's ridiculous. How is it "illegal abuse" for an application to install new features on your computer? If you don't like the feature then uninstall the application. This is how it works for all software.
It's a local model so it doesn't even have the privacy concerns a cloud model would have. Not that that really matters because Chrome is a privacy concern in and of itself already.
