I mean, for me they effectively replace the car. We own one, but since we have the e-bike, I don’t drive at all. I use the trailer for shopping if needed. And yes, we used the trailer + the small seat behind my seat. Basically all three kids could ride with me, but the battery depletes fast and I am not sure about the general strain put on the bike’s structure with so much weight. The bike is not technically ours but leased from the company my wife works at. In Belgium, at some point the taxes get so high that people choose untaxed benefits at work (like a bike leasing or vouchers, even a company car) instead of salary hikes. We now own a second e-bike with two separate seats so we can have family trips. We’ll see how it works. To clarify: I do NOT believe that you can always replace a car with an e-bike. But in the rather wealthy area where we live, the bike infrastructure is great and everything is very walkable, so it is possible to greatly reduce your reliance on cars. The Netherlands are far superior to Belgium in this respect.

I have an e-bike adapted for carrying 2 kids that I use daily for kindergarten commute. Can’t recommend it enough. I live in Belgium though.

1. Dislike Proton and Mullvad for political reasons, but I understand they provide good services.
2. I also dislike Firefox-forks. Not because they are bad, but the only reason to use Firefox is to avoid Chromium. However, if you don’t use Firefox, usage statistics go down, ad-revenue goes down, and Mozilla will struggle to maintain Gecko. If Gecko goes down, so will LibreWolf and Waterfox.
3. I don’t use many of these services (I keep photos local, use my bank’s payment app etc.) but some recommendations are very interesting. I still stick to an Android phone and wonder how reliable /e/OS really is.

I disagree, I love DS3, but I can respect this line of criticism. However, I cannot understand how anyone can criticize DS3’s bosses for the lack of readability, while praising ER. For me, ER bosses just take the worst aspects of DS3 ones and pump them up. For half of the bosses there is a complicated pattern of random movements, which makes the game a boring slog as you need to memorise them… unless you use summons that make the game trivial.
