I dont think citizen kane is worth watching just as a movie today. It was a pioneer in its day but what was revolutionary then is just standard now.

If you watch it now it's just a realy old movie unless you are a film historian and know the context from which it was made.

Combining your source with this https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

Well i wasnt wrong in the assumption that AI is absolutely dwarfed by other industries, agriculture and energy production, but it is in the top 10, on the same level as aviation (so like place 9)

While the environmental impact of AI is absolutely horrible I don't think it is even in the top 10 of industries. Meat production, Transportation by cars, Airplanes, plastic products etc are all much worse.

The problem is AI is absolutely useless for how big its climate impact is. The other industries at least provide value.

I asked why the am/pm system is apparently more convenient and consistent than the 24h system. I didn't ask about 24h in a day and 60min in an hour.

What functional difference is there between tne 12 and 24 hour clock?

You need 2 numbers and 2 letters to accurately specify time in the 12h clock instead of just 2 numbers. Seems convenient to me.

less convenience and consistency

What? ... seriously, which convenience and consistency are you talking about.

24h only has one "inconsistency", going from 23:59 to 0:00. How is that less consistent than 12am being after 11:59pm and 12pm being after 11:59am. Solves all parts of the issue except for one. Which is a lot better than the 12h system.

Probably autocorrect from "has"

There is absolutely a point to shaming and boycotting everyone who acts negatively in public. Of course beeing a secret scumbag is also bad but it doesn't promote scumbaggery to other. A quiet ass does less damage than a loud one.

Congrats you managed to skip over the first and second sentence in my 2 sentence comment.

A VPN is not like a physical product. YOU ARE BUYING TRUST. You shift the point of trust from your ISP, network provider, government etc to the VPN provider. You say "I trust this company more than I trust these other players, so I use their VPN which hides my traffic from these other players but puts the VPN provider in a position where they can see all my network traffic".

When the product is "trust" there is no separation. I do no longer trust the CEO so I will not use the product that relies on that trust.
