Imo it’s mainly the low key developers using some free API and dreaming it will always stay free. This kind of developing is often basically volunteering for big private companies. Users just use whatever is big, easy available. They have less choice. Developers know what they are putting their effort into, re-enforcing it even more while gaining little from it.

That’s how it should be! Thanks

It’s on roads and paths with public lighting mostly! The bicycle front light is not for you to see things, it’s for you to be seen by others. Aimed downwards in front of your bicycle is were it should be… Not up into other people’s faces!

It’s not just cars. Also super blinding lights on bicycles, aimed too high. And the worst of all: straight at your face aiming super blinding lights from fricking joggers on park roads that have public lighting!!

If gamification works for you, maybe give walkscape.app a chance. Looks cool, but my phone was too crappy

I don’t know if it’s at all possible for you and depends on where you live and work, but I try to integrate “little sports” in my daily life. I try to cycle and walk to places as much as possible, instead of bus or tram. Try to use staircases instead of elevators. Etc. It can be small things, but easier to keep up than a real sporty regime.

They wanna gentle into it somewhat because they know there are many server managing people on the line already, doubting going jellyfin but scared of the hassle of transferring users, incompatibility (or too difficult for user) with some users devices.

They wanna move fast because money line needs to go up, boss said.

So currently, tripling lifetime prices seems to be the middle way for them. After a while monthly and yearly prices will rise too (but slower than tripling).

No joke. I never saw this so abundant in other countries or maybe I just never noticed. Thanks for the explanation.

And was driving a ridiculously oversized fragile ego compensation vehicle

A fine is brushed off in a quarter. They should be forced to split into seperate companies.

Almost everyone with a playstation 1 I knew, had the ‘special’ version with a custom chip so you could play copied discs…

Same with pc games, copying was very common and not even looked down upon by others, more sort of admired (“can you copy this one for me??”)

As a cyclist, I’m all for e-bikes requiring a license.

As a cyclist, I disagree. For traffic, we only need licensing on e-bikes that support people to go faster than ±20 km/h whithout pedalling to such speed by their own body strength. Basically: treat e-bike like the motorcycles they are. But ± 20km/h is a speed a normal healthy person on a normal non-electric bicycle can also easily achieve. It’s a generally safe speed in most situations. If it isn’t, it’s a mental health or sociopath behavior of the driver / very poor street infrastructure problem, but the light e-bike shouldn’t have to take the blame.

On mountainbike trails (and on hiking trails!!!) i’m more in favor of something getting close a complete ban for anything motorised.

I think many staple crops are often more prone to drought issues than not getting enough sunlight. Many crops can thrive pretty well with only 4-5 hours of direct sunlight and for the rest of the day just enough general brightness. A bit less direct sunlight can help reduce water usage.

Evolution is going towards semi-transparant solar panels (solar windows) for various use cases, agrivoltaics among them.

It’s also not unfeasible to have a herd of sheep or goats roaming around solar panels.

Tho it’s true it’s a challenge to successfully combine large scale solar and agriculture, I think the future ahead is looking very bright for this combo. Around here (south Germany) it is by now very uncommon to see stables and warehouses without an enormous solar roof, for example…

The sun moves.

In other countries EVERY index gets jumped unless they successfully negotiate/strike for the raise. Yeah, jumped index sucks but it was still a rather occasional thing. There’s been only 4 I think, 3 times in the eighties, 1 time in 2015…

Just checked, it still works for me. Perhaps it was temporary or maybe your location has silly laws so they prefer blocking access?

If you hack it warranty becomes void and you’re maybe in big insurance trouble if there’s an accident or your battery catches fire in an underground parking garage. Basically similar to how banking apps etc keep people from trying to use alternatives to Android on their phone. The boundary isn’t technical, it’s legal.

It exists. In Belgium and I think also Luxembourg inflation in prices of common consumer things automatically triggers wages, unemployment money, pensions to rise too. For most jobs it triggers when it hits 2%. Life got 2 % more expensive, wages rise 2 % a few months / a year later. Using a basket of consumer prices, excluding things like fuel, alcohol, tobacco prices

If you count using shady free streaming websites, I think the number is waaaay bigger than 1%

Mario Kart Wii stood the test of time really really well
