In the matrix humans were used as batteries, not processors. Although that was the original writing before an exec thought the average person would be "confused" by that

Using a Linux terminal and coding are extremely different things.

That I do agree with. They need to be publicly funded and freely available to all of humanity so everyone can benefit from them.

None of the things mentioned have to do with GMOs. Which, IMO, are going to be instrumental in agriculture going forward as the climate continues to decline.

Pretty sure it's poking fun at all the Europeans who say the same thing on here to every American.

I don't think you could get OEM parts that would actually fit in that space tbh. Also the guaranteed software support from valve, and set spec list allowing devs to optimize for it are some pretty huge bonuses over other prebuilts. I'm not saying building your own comp is a bad idea, but for the average user who just wants to be able to game at medium settings in most games, this has some pretty major advantages.

Ah, maybe they could make some cool prebuilt with Linux already built in. Hmm and make it small enough to fit under a TV in a small shelf 🤔

Sorry but you can easily do that. The average person cannot. Most people would have to do multiple weeks of research into what different parts of a computer even are to have any hope of building a PC. Lemmy is one of the most out of touch places I've ever seen as far as tech literacy goes. The average person likely couldn't even tell you what an operating system is, let alone know what Linux is.

Wind and solar is not a constant controllable source. Theoretically, fusion would allow for a very consistent and large base load. Tidal power so far has had lots of issues afaik. Turns out it's really hard to make reliable generators that are in constant contact with salt water. Don't get me wrong, all of those other sources are going to be extremely important, but fusion will absolutely be worthwhile if we can actually get it running.

That's not really accurate at all. A GPU running at full load might wear out its fan, but if it's kept at a consistent temperature it's not going to shorten the life by much. The stress on a GPU generally comes from either being over bolted or from the thermal expansion and shrinkage from an inconsistent temp.

Oh it's worse than that. International airports also count towards that. So if you live within 100 miles from an airport with international flights you are deprived of a lot of rights.

You are correct! Here's a really good video on the topic.
