    Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

    Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

      Wasn’t expecting this under a random unrelated post. A very welcome comment nonetheless.

      Never forget that the exponential boom of renewable energy tech the last 20 years has entirely served as additional energy, not as replacement of fossil fuels.

        Unexpected but entirely welcome.

        People do forget this all too often.

        Cheaper stuff, use more , value less.
