It really bothers me that the two biggest reductions in climate changing gas emissions are the unintended results of two authoritarian leaders each carrying out an unjustified war, and not because of decades of global human effort towards a common shared goal of reducing misery.
This fact implies multiple bad things about us.

I'm told cutting off air supply to brains can result in discord....
When I open Discord, there are always multiple updates to apply, each of which will open a new window that seizes focus, meaning that opening Discord results in being unable to use the machine for up to a minute (assuming the updates apply) because trying to do anything else is an exercise in frustration.
Apparently the U.S. Media may have surrendered their fight, but still doesn't like to be kicked

@raganwald@social.bau-ha.us I love the self deprecating title, I also love anything that raises awareness of hype-based marketing in what is otherwise education.
@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.io I remember Clipper chips.
I can't tell if this is "just" an attempt to have a tariff-like plaything, a way to gather bribes from companies seeking to be an exception, or an attempt to force NSA-compromised hardware on consumers.
All seem equally likely (and villainously stupid).
I'm honestly (really) surprised this wasn't leaked/obvious in advance though. This isn't an administration known for keeping their mouths shut. I'm curious where this came from.
