While good, you should always keep in mind that using renewables for this means that power can't be used for other purposes, meaning the difference has to be covered by other sources of energy. Always bear in mind that these things don't exist in a vaccum. The resources they use always mean resources aren't used elsewhere. At worst this would mean that new clean power is built to power a waste, and then old dirty power has to be used for everything else, instead of being replaced by clean energy.

1.5% to 3% is a doubling (100% increase). It's not 1.5%, but 1.5 percentage points. It's a very normal use of percentages

That's a wild take on writing lmao. If you're not sure the author will finish it, don't start reading it.

PNG is also raster. SVG is vector which is what you might be thinking of. PNG is lossless, whereas JPEG is lossy, which is the main difference

You don't know that. Literally, you don't. Nobody does. This might be your opinion and that's fine, but stating it as fact is disingenuous

Which means that the patents are void to start with. But they can still be used to bankrupt a smaller company with court battles regarless. The fact that patents with obvious prior art get granted so easily is a wild.

At some point needlessly banning words just empowers bigots by letting them claim larger and larger parts of the vocabulary. Shouldn't we try to reclaim words instead, and deprive the words of their power? Just "banning" words, especially in cases such as this one when the connection to master/slave is pretty weak, actually increases the negative power of the words and I'd argue empowers people with malicious intent
