  • I wonder how plug-in hybrids are that bad in terms of gas-to-electric ratio. Might need a proper source on that. Most usage should be from work-home travel, and that should be reachable with just electric power.

    Maybe the solution is not simply to block hybrids, but to solve the reasons they don't drive electric. This could be putting more chargers at home/workplace or something else entirely (idk what the analysis pointed out as reason)

  • But have you considered that those assholes lobbied very hard to protect their interest? Shouldn't their money and time investment be rewarded?

    /s just in case

  • To be fair, if most of your funding (source needed) comes from industrial customers, not supplying them is a good way to lose their patronage.

    So even if it sucked for hobbyists at that moment, keeping a big player like RbP viable for the long term might not be too bad of a tradeoff.

  • I'm sorry for being a good friend ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding

    Edit: I forgot a word in the preamble, this is better than it was before though lmao

  • Same with power generation/grid. The EU is finally realising that if they want everyone to go electric they are massively fuckt in terms of clean electricity generation and power distribution. Meanwhile we had china's power grid as a case study in uni because it's way ahead of ours.

  • Basically the movie House of dynamite

  • Except DisplayPort has high data transfer speed requirements and many cables that fit the nice reversible ports do not support it.

    Source: me testing every cable at home to find one that supports DP + PD

  • Huh

  • Zwarte Piet is 100% a slave with all the traditional symbolism around the character. The fact that people call their role 'helper' or 'assistant' really does not change anything about the historical background of "zwarte Piet"

    We are basically portraying a white man with black slaves as a great thing, and celebrate it. Combine that with the fact that it's mainly directed at kids who are very easily influenced in such regards... It's a bad tradition.

    I know that for 99% of the people this probably isn't the message they want to send, but even when not malicious it will influence the way children look at the world.

  • I mean don't you know that firefox loads a FULL web browser with an engine and all every time it boots up?

  • You should go read the blog post explaining how everything works! They basically pull out a shipping container of tricks to establish a connection when necessary. (Depends heavily on firewalls/NAT on the path)

  • For real, they think the only solution to cars endangering pedestrians and bikes is to ban both bikes and pedestrians... As God intended eagle screeches and flies overhead

  • I wasn't calling you out at all just going on a bit of a tangent :)

  • I love taxes, I would gladly pay even more taxes if that meant everyone would be provided for.

    Except at the moment our taxes here in Belgium are already quite high, and our tax system is a complete cluster fuck with plenty of loopholes for the strongest shoulders to not have to carry their weight. Some part of that is even fraudulent, and they're trying to get a law through right now to find those cases of fraud more efficiently... But it is being opposed by parts of the govt with privacy as the excuse (which I'd normally agree with, except what they're trying to change is not that egregious afaik and the ratio of found vs investigated fraud is insane)

  • Indeed, all fun and games until they kidnap you from the streets because their religious laws prohibit the way you dress.

  • That's why you don't substitute the goats blood. It can be hard to find compared to other requirements... So yeah, a rookie mistake. If you're able to keep your soul make sure to follow all instructions next time.

  • For Visual Studio, the new release (2026) has improved the startup times. As for your other points... They still stand I'm afraid. Actually it got worse in terms of AI if you hate it, basically half the release notes were about AI this AI that.

  • In terms of unique features there's a few places where it shines.

    Glance: You know how you open a link in the background to not lose the tab you're currently on? Well in Zen you just click it with Alt+click and it pops open in an overlay which you can easily click away when you're done with it (or open it to a 'full' tab if you need it)

    Split view: exactly what it sounds like, have multiple tabs open side-by-side or above each other in the same window

    Side tabs: exactly what sideberry does except the browser is fully designed around it with features like workspaces (with per workspace themes), essential tabs (are shown on top in each workspace) and pinned tabs (per workspace) all just being great.

  • It's great, it does basically what sideberry does (or at least what it did for me, iirc sideberry had a config page 3 miles long so ymmv) but it's built-in and that allows for things an extension just couldn't do.

    And then there's glance and split view which I pretty much can't live without anymore
