Excess memes and 'reply all' emails are bad for climate, researcher warns (theguardian.com)

Yup this is why Electron apps are bad too. You shouldn't spend more energy and cycles of your user's computer just to make your life easier as a dev.

Or not use the cloud so much and store your stuff locally.

I hope that will make a renaissance and local drives will become cheaper again (a 14TB or higher now costs more than what I paid for them before the pandemic, likely because it's not really a mass consumer item anymore)

How many reply-all's equals an hour of flight in a G700?

So, we got cryptocurrencies and LLMs training all day, but emails are the problem. Sure thing.
