  • Does this explanation by ChatGPT make sense to you?

    This comment seems to express a strongly negative opinion about Google. The writer is suggesting that Google’s services should not be included in any positive or useful lists. Instead, they believe that Google and its services should be on a “list of things to avoid,” implying that using Google is something people should avoid for some reason – likely due to concerns about privacy, data collection, or general distrust of the company.














  • I’m not saying that cost of power is entirely irrelevant.

    I’m saying that “My setup consumes a lot of power, but that’s fine because it doesn’t cost me much” is kind of backwards. While monetary cost certainly is one of the arguments for energy efficiency, responsibly using resources and avoiding wasting energy are way more compelling ones imo. That especially applies if your energy isn’t produced via renewable means.

    Even if power was entirely free of monetary cost, you shouldn’t waste it, don’t you agree?


  • I really don’t like how people most commonly try to justify the monetary cost of their power consumption.

    In my opinion the way more important metrics should be how the energy you are consuming is generated and how much carbon emissions are caused by it.

    Who cares that your 2000W@230V idle are “free”, if that means you are burning crude oil in your backyard to generate it…
