This is a no agenda less moderated variation of !climate@slrpnk.net. Moderation power is not abused and mods do not suppress ideas in order to control the narrative.

Obvious spam, uncivil posts and misinfo are not immune to intervention, but on-topic civil posts are certain to not be subject to censorship (unlike the excessive interventalism we see in the other climate community).

Would someone please calculate the GHG footprint of a graphical CAPTCHA? (self.climate_lm)

I know it’s unacceptibly high, whatever the figure is. I would like to have a credible accurate CO₂ cost of a Google reCAPTCHA for comparison purposes and also to add weight to my complaint when condemning a CAPTCHA pusher for their anti-human tech.

I am just some random stranger on the internet. That is not a credible source to reference particularly if I am the same person giving the citation.

If you work it out yourself you just have to show your working, no need for a citation.
