There are many acquisitions that lead to better products.
They're more lucrative for creators/streamers and have further reach but the platform experience is noticeably worse.

A data center like Meta’s, which was completed last year, typically guzzles around 500,000 gallons of water a day. New data centers built to train more powerful A.I. are set to be even thirstier, requiring millions of gallons of water a day
I naively assumed these were closed loops. Where does the water go? I would think it just gets warm and does not evaporate.There are also heat exchanges that mist water over the air it pulls in to lower the air temperature. Data centers use these all the time.
Look into adiabatic cooling.
For something truly shocking look into "once through cooling". It's being/been phased out but is a disgusting waste of water.
Linux hasn't necessarily gotten better, sadly. My install was unusable due to video issues, I had to boot a recover console to fix it. I also had to fix some issues with X desktop effects glitching after waking from suspend, making the desktop environment nearly unusable. Otherwise, Linux performs a lot better on my system than Windows.
I've had nothing but bad experiences with Debian installs and I'm curious if this is where a lot of issues are coming from when people switch to Mint or Ubuntu when they hear it's the "beginner distro"
W3C requires that we do not break old, conformant specs. Meaning if the next PNG spec would invalidate prior specs, they won't approve it. By extension, an old, conformant program will not suddenly become non-conformant.
I could see a group of people formalizing IFFv2, and adapting PNG to it. But that would effectively be PNGIFF, not PNG. It would be a new spec. Because we cannot break the old one.
That might be fine. But it comes with a new set of problems, like adoption.
Soooo I like the idea but it would probably be a separate thing. FWIW, it would actually be nice to make a formal IFF spec. If there was no governing body that owns it, we can find an org and gather interest.
I doubt W3C would be the right org for it. ISO subgroup??
Just FAANG and fintech. Pretty lousy rule of thumb.
Serious question. I don't generally mind paying taxes and all that. But in this case I feel I am the person offended and I should get some kind of compensation. I'd say €1-2000 would make me feel somewhat compensated.
I was hit by a hit-and-run while driving my car. Totally destroyed the back-end.
I personally investigated and gathered info/videos to figure out the car and plates because the police essentially said they couldn't be bothered.
After finding out the owner of the car the insurance company said that under their criteria it was no longer a hit-and-run and I'm not covered by them. The person did not have insurance.
The law here is the owner of the vehicle faces a $2000 fine, plus the $2000 fine for a vehicle being operated without insurance. I was subpoenaed as a witness (lol) to the hit and run, for which I had to take a day off work.
So, the government earned a cool $4000 for my troubles, and i was out a $3000 car and a day of work.
I've since accepted that fines are just a lazy blunt instrument that serve as nothing more than a deterrent; not a way to fix past injustices. Maybe obvious but still counter intuitive when you're the wronged party.
I haven't used chrome in a long time but as far as I was aware they do the same thing: wipe session data on close.
