I imagine it varies wildly by distro, hardware, use-case, etc.

Linux systems usually consume more energy than identical systems with other operating systems
Is this true?
I got a Framework, and the 16:10 aspect ratio allows for the two bars without messing up most applications as they’re mostly geared toward 16:9. Full screen games go over both bars.
Yeah, plenty of white supremacist gangs in prison already. Would be redundant.
FLOSS software
Lol
The unfortunate thing is that, in the long run, that strategy will probably be super effective. Unless Europe (with the only internet regulations that actually have teeth) does something harsh enough, they will probably pay a few small fines over this at most. Cost of doing business and probably baked in already.
Pretty sad when non-Americans seem to understand the severity of this threat better than people here.
For sure… Just one more reason to adopt co-determination laws like those in Germany.
Public or private, if the board of the company actually contained literal workers, it could make things so much better.
Totally. I wasn’t trying to rag on Valve… More just a comment about capitalism in general and how shitty it is.
These products are experimental and usually sold at or near cost not to make money but to prove to the market there is a need and a demand.
Well, no… I think it’s more akin to the concept of “loss-leaders”. Get people in the door and while they’re there, they’ll buy a game or two. Which is where their real profits come from.
In the end, it’s still just a business strategy intended to result in profits for Valve.
However, that being said, the fact that they don’t have a fiduciary responsibility to shareholders to maximize profits and keep that stock price up at (literally) all costs, allows them to operate the way they do.
But don’t get it twisted, they are a for-profit corporation, and their ultimate goal is making money. They’re just not as shitty about it.
The bar is REALLY fucking low these days.
FIGHT!
They’re also one of the few (possibly only) that has not gone public.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Holy fuck lol
It’s crazy how often I see people doing this; they’re ardently against Trump’s efforts to turn the presidency into a dictatorship, while at the same time complaining that Biden didn’t do x y, or z when those aren’t things that fall under his purview.
What do they want?? Dictatorship is ok if it’s the neo-liberal I like?
As someone privileged enough to be the first two of those things, and grew up in a very Christian household, I have been considering for a while now what I would do if it came down to: keeping my head down, blending in and pretending to be a Christian so as to survive and hopefully live out the rest of my life, or stand up for what I believe in and go down fighting.
This comment will probably be read at the hearing that will determine this (if there is one), so I guess I’ve made my choice already. To the camps!
Don’t know if I should feel vindicated after years of warning people about this and being mocked and derided and banned, or if I’m just sad that we’re allowing this to happen.
It’s some bizarre mixture of the two, but sadness definitely makes up the bulk.
OK, but this isn’t PR for a big budget film, this may decide whether we have a future as a republic or not.
Definitely re-worded, but to just stop altogether is foolish and so short-sighted.
Surely use-case is important? Someone running a server that’s on 24/7 vs. someone running it on a laptop or desktop that they shut down every day.
