@LeoR1010 That is exactly my thinking. 🙏

@asbjornn Exakt, och det kommer knappast leda till billig energi under vår livstid.
@danne Haha, tack! 😊
@iamdavidobrien I am completely on board with @fromjason's take.
I thought I had a non-meta policy too. 😅 Back to it now.

I'm not using Mastodon, but thank you for adding your reflection and perspective on how irony is related to the character count of plain text used for communication.
I'll consider the impact of adding a timeframe for auto-deletion of plain-text messages.
@KirstenAnne Thanks 🙏 Good one.

It sometimes blows my mind to think back on how the first Desktop Publishing Software I used, powerful enough for producing print magazines, came on two 360KB floppy disks.
That's less than your average jpg image... 🤯
@peteriskrisjanis Very good point.
@cartocalypse
Yeah, it’s not obvious how to relate all the figures to one another. The article you shared says ”Around 2.4% of global CO2 emissions come from aviation” which is consistent with the data in the article I linked to as well.
I’ve not seen a ”percentage of global warming” figure for the IT industry but when it comes to data centers, CO2 is also just one aspect of it. Mineral mining, transportation (including flights), deliveries to and from facilities, massive water consumption, etceteras. It’s certainly up there.
@gerrymcgovern It’s absolutely terrifying. Admiring your persistent efforts on shedding a light on this every day.
@ethicalrevolution Inspiring. I need to get a better hold of how my VPS is powered.
@wrenderlust
Exactly! It's like the human race keeps parodying itself.
@wir @linuxtage
Ah, good to know. I wasn't aware the PDF file suggested anything 😅
@wir @linuxtage Very cool to see! Thanks for pinging me and letting me know ❤️
@Cloud68 @wir @linuxtage
Thanks, there is a PDF linked on that web page that should work I think?
@david_chisnall Interesting! Another reason to feel comfortable in the decision to not use Mastodon anymore ;) I wonder why they would have that design decision…
