Carbon aside, it will be interesting to see how this plays out in Texas, where the electrical grid is tenuous.
But to your point, looking at things from sustainability minded perspective (and even opting to ignore value of product as it stands right now), why yes, BTC is bad.
Patching one app into another for improved UX and categorization is bonkers.
Also, my kid wanted to use Apple Music classical first thing this morning (he’s a big classical music nut), you literally have to be logged in to regular Apple Music before Classical will allow you to play anything. Weird.
Sometimes there is a learning curve. Conceptual hurdles abound with a complex tool like GitHub. Working through hurdles help you grow as a technologist and as person —but having the right attitude going in, that’s on you.
Opinion: bout the photo and the painting are actually not very good representation of either artists work. I imagine both the photo and the painting would be considered unimportant if it wasn’t for this legal wrangling.
There are many ways that this issue could be approached. For example, could Warhol be allowed fair use in execution but, post-mortem, his estate pay? After all, one thing that the author of the article did not go into is that this argument is really no longer about the creative act.

It’s simply not possible to make a blanket statement like this. Computers today are so very different and have so many more layers than those from 1983.
I recently refurbished an old Mac Plus. Of course I couldn’t leave it stock, booting from floppies was simply too ridiculous.. So it boots from Zip. Anyways, once I had this machine up and running I was quite surprised at how snappy the interface is - once everything was in place - and that’s the difference. The old interface is paper thin and has nothing going on, no asynchronous, little to no threads, it is just what it is.
