- Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy! 2 weeks ago:
Well, "fill your fridge/freezer so there's less cold air inside that can be replaced by warm air when opening it, then it does need less energy to cool down again after opening" is true, but the reasoning… No isolation is perfect (and certainly not that of affordable household fridges) so there'll always be warmth getting in that has to be moved out again. Cooling only doesn't require energy if surrounded by equal coolness.

- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
IIRC the first draft had the keys all controlled by Microsoft, with no option to use your own, and no option to disable it. Don't think the GPL had anything to do with it directly, though it was people wanting to use Linux (and other systems than the one pre-installed) on their own hardware that complained.

And the first iteration was much more locked down, only got changed after public complaints.

Unfortunately they're probably not stupid enough to all fuck off to Mars soon…
