Wow… saving the planet by moving half a Watt of power consumption per PC to a greener time slot. I don’t think I have ever heard someone do less about emissions and brag about it.

Since the text is black for most Hacker News readers, and more text turns off more pixels on their screens, my carbon pledge is to increase the number of vowels in my messages by 15% by 2055.

To compound the carbon-negative effect of my pledge, I will bully people into replacing their supposedly obsolete displays with OLED ones that actually dim/turn off those black pixels. Yes, that'll put carbon right back where it belongs.


Yu cn’t rmve vwls (or any lttr) frm bgnnng or end of wrd bcse it’ll be too hrd to rd. Fr exmple, “mttng” ws a tgh one to dcpher.
