I still use Giac/Xcas with an interface that was made before 9/11.

At my engineering school, we had a mandatory lecture of the environmental impact of IT. Initially, I thought it was some bullshit lecture that the education ministry imposed on us, and all I had to do was sign the attendance sheet at the end and be done with it.
But it did stick with me, we know that crypto mining consumes massive amounts of power to the point where Ethereum had to switch to the more efficient Proof-of-Stake in late 2022. Now, the recent hype of AI is starting to exacerbate energy consumption since petabytes of data have to be stored in data centres, then the models have to be trained for months on end.
In fact, there are many sectors of IT industry that consumes gigantic amount of energy, and I think it's something to be considered when we're using the Internet.
Here's an article by Raphael Lemaire (in French, but you can translate it): https://raphael-lemaire.com/2019/11/02/mise-en-perspective-impacts-numerique/
I also found this really interesting website that tests the environmental impact of your website. Lemmy.ml got a F.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find an English-language equivalent of this website, but I still found it interesting enough to share.

> 觉醒年代 Age of Awakening (2021) is a Chinese drama that recounts the stories of the first Chinese Communist revolutionaries from 1915 to 1921. It has a rating of 9.3 (out of 10) on Douban but is almost unheard of in the West. It's shame that with such a high production quality, CCTV will probably not publish English subtitles. That's why I'm giving a translating this show a shot.
For some reason, Qwant redirects to Qwant Lite and whenever try to search something, it always comes up as "no results". Does this happen to anyone else as well?
If I want to read https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/05/19/post-american-world-is-now-full-display/, I have to use archive.vn which allows me to go past the paywall (https://archive.vn/yTP0x). However, archive.vn is still proprietary so I installed ArchiveBox which is free software but does not go past the paywall. Does anyone have any solutions?

If you don't use your smartphone often, just buy a PinePhone.
They already can with ECHELON anyways
The irony of it all. I think Chinese policies have won: cyber-sovereignty, state-owned enterprises, state-backed digital currencies; every industrial bloc is at some point going to adopt Chinese policies because they're afraid of losing power and control and because the PRC is so powerful.
At least Qwant is under European internet laws like GDPR, which is why I prefer it to DDG. I think it also uses its own servers while DDG uses AWS.
