  • The Death Of Industrial Design And The Era Of Dull Electronics

    Jump

  • Yeah, and personally, I don't feel any wish to go back to skeuomorphism. It is funny to look back to and feel some nostalgia, but I think it would look cheap now if they did it like 15 years ago. Maybe iOS' glassy-ui will create some elements that people like about it, but they luckily did not move back to busy ui element backgrounds.

    I do partially agree with his buttons and app-points. I dislike how we are forced to download apps for everything, including the questionable tracking software.

  • iOS 26 beta 4 adds more ‘liquid’ back to Liquid Glass design

    Jump

  • I also don't see the point in the 'glass' blob that floats over menu items. I never/rarely (it makes some sense in the camera app) swipe over menu items, and in my opinion just adds a weird and unnecessary animation (even though it's a bit smoother now).

  • Former GM Executive: BYD cars are good in terms of design, features, price, quality. If we let BYD into the U.S. market, it could end up destroying american manufacturers

  • The Chinese too know how to make unnecessary large cars, unfortunately.

  • Development of sustainable energy is crumbling in the Netherlands, specialists warn

    Jump

  • This is not only on the far-right, but generally on the right spectrum. The People's Party is more interested in businesses than actually caring for the environment we live in. This could be seen by the name of the 'Ministry of Climate and Green Growth'. Apart that generally very little is accomplished by this government, I can't really remember Hermans having any meaningful proposals or implementations, except for scraping those things that were in-place or halting discussions with large corporations on their efforts on sustainability.

    The Farmer's Party has a complete neglect for any climate issues, and, my sense, is that New Social Contract cares less about climate than the People's Party. And all three of them seem to be willing to give in to Wilders on this front.

  • (Rumor) Kuo: Apple to release cheaper MacBook powered by iPhone processor - 9to5Mac

    Jump

  • The cynic in me directly thought of how this could be a way for Apple to force the Mac App Store on these machines. Granted it is based on a fear, not grounded on something.

  • Man complains about the government forcing him to buy a new car so he and his wife can continue to do their 1km school run.

    Jump

  • If the government's intent is to cut local emissions this could make sense.

  • Denmark, Aarhus experiments with making light rail and bus free (but only if you own a car)

    Jump

  • Will the cost of insurance and tax not outweigh the cost of a (monthly) ticket? And (especially older) cars must pass EU controls regularly for them to be road legal.

    Considering this is a test to see if car users (they must park in a P&R) would use PT if it were free, it might just be a lead up for proposing it to be free for all.

    To add, while the car users are not the ones that need this the most, a reduction in cars (even at the cost of ticket sales) could have positive effects for inhabitants of Aarhus on health and maybe even economic (some research shows that areas with fewer cars see local business thrive).

  • German car companies lobby to oppose the EU's 2035 ban on the sale of combustion engines cars.

    Jump

  • I agree that both their objective lies in changing regulation. Doesn't mean that they are the same, however. Which OP stated. And I wouldn't say it is the only difference, rather the difference between the two.

  • German car companies lobby to oppose the EU's 2035 ban on the sale of combustion engines cars.

    Jump

  • If there is proof that they have given millions of dollars, this will go to court, as that is illegal. Lobbying is not bribing as I pointed out in my initial reply. Lots of different groups and organisations use lobbying to make their concerns heard. Just because this is a case we don't like, does not mean lobbying has no purpose.

  • German car companies lobby to oppose the EU's 2035 ban on the sale of combustion engines cars.

    Jump

  • They are literally not the same. Bribing is when you try to give something in exchange for voting/law making etc. Lobbying is convincing why prioritising is important. These can be selfish reasons, like in this case. However, lobbying may also be done for noble causes by a wide range of NGOs. Prohibiting lobbying is limiting the opportunity for all kinds of actors to argue their cause.

  • No words

    Jump

  • Completely agree with this. It would be interesting (and more valuable) to see the difference between mean or average car size over the years. Especially since (in Europe at least), there has been a rapid increase in SUVs, and, I am guessing, a decline in compact cars.

  • Limit new car dimensions by 2035: proposal from civil society to the EU

    Jump

  • Where in the Netherlands does one need a truck? Especially those American ones. Strandwacht and boswacht are the ones I could think of (and than the more practical European style pickups).

    Same for SUVs.

  • PVV stapt uit de coalitie

  • NSC 'niet nog eens met PVV in zee' (bron: NOS)

    Daar hoeven ze geen statement over te maken denk ik hahah

  • Wilders: 'binnen enkele weken' alle grenzen dicht voor asielzoekers, anders is PVV weg

    Jump

  • Eens, helaas is dat al bijna twee decennia zo.

  • Als het lijkt te werken zal de VVD ook wel haar kans pakken om weer wat statistieken te verzinnen, en dan krijgen we weer zo’n olifanten verkiezing om wat eigenlijk muggen zijn.

  • France sees immigration shift as more educated Africans arrive than Europeans

    Jump

  • I wish this article could actually explain some of the changes. This is quite a large time frame (‘06-‘23) and while the European migration might be explained by EU enlargement, I wonder if the demographic share from African countries has changed, or whether education systems have overall improved (more people having some form of education).

  • Wine/champagne grapes are farmed in Europe, but I think it is sad for the workers, no matter they are situated in Europe or elsewhere. Maybe even worse if it is in sweatshops, because they may not rely on state support.
