Paper maps are pretty heavy downgrade in a lot of places compared to something that have satellite + osm + topographic map. They are often outdated or not nearly as detailed.

With season flu hospitals are not overwhelmed but with covid-19 they probably will be so even more people will die.

I misread parent comment but this was exactly my point. A lot of people die from flu although there is vaccine and mortality rate is at least one magnitude lower than Covid-19 and hospitals are not overwhelmed.

How many people die each year from flu worldwide? How many times mortality of Covid-19 is bigger?

Lets do the math. We will assume that 100% individuals switched to electric cars and heat.

Commercial and Residential Sector Emissions for US - 12% All Transportation for US - 29% (It includes rail and aircraft. Only 60% of it is light duty vehicle and I couldnt find what percentage of it is commercial transport)

So we have 12%+ 29%0,6 = 32%. It is big number but now we have to produce same amount of energy in electricity. 79% of all electricity generation was fossil fuels.

32% (0.21) = 7%

So even if all individuals will stop using fossil fuels for heat and will use electric cars for transportation. We will have less than 10% of reduction.

How is your magic algorithm will distinguish "bad" channels from game reviewers,movie critics and other reviwers? Or should they all be banned too? Also how it will detect that something is fair use?

100 companies are responsible for 71% of emissions. Projects that you have listed are important but more likely only help individuals to feel that something is being fixed instead of any real impact.

It is difference between with this quantum chip we can brake encryption that would take 100000 years in 30 minutes or it would take us 50 years.

For steam games enable proton for all games. For all others try Lutris.

Proton is very good default option because valve worked to make a lot of game playable with it.

Lutris have specific profiles for specific game/software release so it can install required wine version and winetricks and sometimes even patches.
