Almost, yes. It should be close enough as an estimate.

If you want to be precise, one thing you want to be careful about is that not every fuel releases the same amount of energy per kg of CO2. So you should be comparing to the CO2 released by whatever is being replaced by the biofuel (most likely fossil fuel), not the biofuel itself.

Another consideration is how much CO2 is released by the production of the biofuel compared to what it is replacing. Since farming equipment, transportation etc. all could produce CO2.

A very good question.

It is a very common misconception that trees and plants just always absorb CO2. The Carbon © in CO2 does not just disappear when plants produce Oxygen (O2). Plants use it as material to grow themselves and their fruits. Once they are fully grown, they don’t really absorb any more. So if you burn a tree in a fireplace and grow a new tree in its place, the new tree will eventually re-capture all the CO2 burning the wood released as it grows. This works even better with fast growing plants used for biofuel. The CO2 released by burning biofuel is re-captured when you grow more plants to make more biofuel.

So chopping down a forest to create fields is bad in the short term since it releases and does not recapture the CO2 from the trees, but is sustainable in the long term since you “recycle” the same Carbon.

Could be social commentary on what passes as “science” on social media these days. 🤣 That’s what made me laugh.

Science is feelings

Typo? 🤣

So you are clearly talking about trademark. A game design can’t be trademarked. Only the name. Yes, if the name could be confused, that could be an issue. Maybe the cover art to some extent, if it is trademarked.

But if the game origin can be confused, so what? No law against that.

I don’t think thats how it works for copyright. You have to defend your trademarks to keep them but for copyright, you can decide who can use it rather arbitralily.

Especially allowing a release of an old game on platform you don’t support which would not really compete with you.

I feel like any mention of lemmy or other competing platforms is suppressed on reddit. At least I saw no activity on any of my posts nor have I saw such posts from others.

I really hope it will be at least another 7% If being this shity to their users ends up with loss barely above the rounding error, it does not bode well for the future.

I would give him 2 year probation/suspended sentence if it is his first crime. Does not need to ruin his life but make the warning hella clear.

If he vandalizes things regullarly, then probably some actual prison time.

I did not get a response yet. They still have 3 weeks before it is a GDPR breach. I am on a vacation but when I get home, I will resend my requests via email to have proof and forward to EU regulators if they miss the deadline.

I would recommend still sending a GDPR delete request if you are in EU just to be sure, since there may be stuff left behind in private communities, backups etc. It also forces reddit and their partners to delete data they use for advertising.

Little bonus, it is annoying for reddit to process GDPR requests.

I originally left some posts I thought may be useful but I deleted them now. We need to bite the bullet and build that knowledge up again here. If we leave the content behind, people will keep going to reddit as their first stop and keep asking questions there + feeding the ads instead of coming here.

It does not cause security issues (that banks are concerned about). It is a DRM content decryption that is part of their TPM. So it is even considered a security feature that can more generally be used to ensure data can only be decrypted using the proper application the data was intended for. Netflix is already using it for 4k streaming. Read more here.

For me personally, its not even the principle with the bad ads. The reasons I won’t pay for preemium are:

1. 12$ is too much, since I don’t live in the US and my pay is not at that level.
2. I won’t pay to still have my data harvested and sold. If I pay for YT, there should be a different privacy policy with not using the data for anything outside video recommendations.
3. I don’t want to pay for all the antifeatures YT pushes such as removing dislikes, not allowing channel search on mobile, messing with search reaults and recommendations…

Intel is about to disagree with their DRM bullshit baked right into your CPUs silicon. Welcome to the “You will own nothing” future
