Good question. Here is a quote from NOAA

A map of the anthropogenic CO2 ocean column inventory shows that the carbon is not evenly distributed in space. More than 23% of the inventory can be found in the North Atlantic, a region covering approximately 15% of the global ocean. By contrast, the region south of 50°S represents approximately the same ocean area but only has ~9% of the global inventory.

The site above also explains the life cycle of CO2 in the earth's oceans.

Good information and REAL numbers.

The oceans have plenty of CO2, the stuff that makes soda fizzy. The ocean is actually one of the largest CO2 sinks on earth. The ocean also has plenty of bubbles to make it "fizzy", but there is a fuckton more volume of liquid that you don't get the fizz like a soda as a general rule. So not quite flat as you say.

Any plans for key covers. Tough plastic or metal?

All keyboards I've owned get tossed into the backpack and upon opening key caps have fallen off.

Nevermind I see on your site you have a soft side case!! Sweet!

The kernel is the brains of the any Linux OS. It has access to every aspect of your system. Which is why they (EA) wants access. I would like to think you wouldn't put a device in your brain to have some 3rd party to monitor your entire body for bad actors.

Having this level of access to your system would allow them to see all the processes and files, scan them and create a fingerprint that's linked to your account. With the levels of violations that all governments are conducting in our lives it would be a small feat for EA to divulge this fingerprint for not only their own profits, directed ads and marketing, but anyone who would ask including government entities.

That is only one level. One other aspect is performance hits. Adding this kernel level monitoring will also take clock cycles away from your real needs. Slowing down and interrupting the functions of your system potentially breaking things. This along with adding attack vectors for other nefarious actors to penetrate your system and take full control.

You are correct I do have a choice not to use their poorly implemented code. And I definitely will never use it. The final point I will add is if this were to happen it becomes a slippery slope for other companies to add their own kennel level "security" code. All you have to do is look at any other system. Next thing you know the last light of OS freedom will be extinguished.

Speak for yourself. I'd rather shit companies no matter how big or small not be a part of the Linux ecosystem. Do I want development absolutely but not at the sacrifice of core values. EA is a shit company. Full Stop. They have nothing good to provide.

The mass majority of parents don't parent. This is a different problem than the government is trying to fix. My first introduction to this was when NWA was causing a ruckus and got white christian womens panties in a kerfuffle that led to parental advisory labels on music.

Ultimately having the government force age ID isn't about parenting. Its a pathway to further, easier surveillance on the public under the guise of "protecting the children".

Obviously every device will be required to have both

1. An always on camera for facial recoog, recounting of wrinkles using AI

2.Always on microphone for voice age analysis through stress levels using AI

3. Running the only safe and super duper secure operating system Microsoft AI.

If you don't have all three it's an automatic 3 strikes felony offense and you're sent straight to labor camps for the rest of your existence no AI needed (silver lining right? Riiiight)

Duh.

I have moved all my switches to Inovelli. The recently came out with light switches with mmwave imbedded that automatically run my kitchen dinning dimmable lights. They work with dumb/smart lights ceiling fans. They have signed and zwave. They are made in USA so if you are against that then I would recommend Shelly they are pretty solid devices too.

Just like gas prices..

jack up the prices, let the people groan about it and go through the stages of grief, bring it back down slightly to let them feel like they are getting a good deal at the new elevated prices.

Profit.

If you eat like shit, that info can be sold to health providers, insurance for that sweet sweet premium increases too.

Not sure about an icon or flag to depict the idea of announcing Hey I'm For Privacy!! Feels like it goes against the whole principle. It's along the same lines of stickers on a vehicle, stick family tells (most times) exactly how many people and animals w/types are within the household, gun logos indicate a high probability of an abundance of weaponry, a privacy flag may promote someone to look deeper into you with the premise well they want privacy so they must have something to hide, mentality. I'm private I don't need to draw attention to me being private. But you do you. Just my opinion.

How so?? It looks like he's looking at the back of his hand?
