They’re more locked-down by the manufacturer than desktops, so they’re more “trusted” by corporations to act in corporate interests at the expense of yours.
Ah, good point. I was thinking about zoning codes, not building codes.
I could be wrong, but I think the zoning laws tend to be much more focused on stopping people from working in residential areas than on living in commercial or industrial ones.
Much, much bigger deal than not letting the Earth warm enough to flood them in the first place.
Actually, that’s a feature that was common going all the way back to the very earliest image file formats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexed_color
It’d be easy enough to make the chart a plain old GIF or indexed PNG; the only non-trivial part is that you’d need add some code to the page it’s embedded in to swap out the color palette. (You could also make it an SVG and manipulate it even more easily using the DOM.)
Additionally it is much easier to just move to higher ground.

Downvoted for linking to Reddit’s fucked redirect-to-a-webpage image hosting.
Downvoted for hotlinking to Reddit instead of mirroring the image, since Reddit tries to fuck with you by redirecting to an HTML page with the image in it instead of just loading the goddamn image by itself.

What, no mayonnaise‽
IDGAF; it’s still infinitely better than sprawl.
There’s not plenty of land with infrastructure to support people.
You may not have understood my point. The land I’m talking about already has infrastructure; you just have to bulldoze the houses that are already there and replace them with multifamily.
There’s plenty of land; it’s just zoned wrong.
Sounds like a BA in sociology is a thing that shouldn’t exist.
