> True geothermal energy is truly green

Reminder: few energy sources do not add heating to the atmosphere during the whole energy lifecycle!

It's the ones that *subtract* energy from the environment in the first place: solar, wind, dams, tidal energy.

Other sources (including geothermal, nuclear, oil ...), even if we could produce a 100% efficient power plant, are still extracting energy that would otherwise stayed "locked-in" somewhere.

Keep in mind that virtually all electrical energy produced turns into heat released in the atmosphere.

Many developers think that the user's systems are their own playground or ad billboard.

They refuse to play nice around theming, user-selected icons, security sandboxes, disabling of tracking functions, providing security updates. Many are careless around the amount of memory or CPU used.

Distributions, instead, are on the side of the end users.
