lime!

that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.

yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

ELFA is still around.

really? sounds like a weird span of systems considering they share so little code. i’d like to read on how they did that.

the part that’s safe is in the browser. it’s a basic fact of how http requests work that you can just request data and then not read it.

also, “task managering the popups”? unless i’ve missed some very weird development that has literally never worked, because popup windows are part of the parent process.

ooooooh, right, i was thinking that it was re: DeepL translating it as “english”.

like in english? i don’t think i follow

not fully sure on this but i think by “biomass” they mean peat, which is a controversial fuel.

if the netherlands is anything like sweden, farming is likely heavily subsidised by the eu. that’s the annoying part; there are valid criticisms of the union (inconsistency, inertia, advisors, lobbying) but anti-pollution regulations with appropriate compensation is not it.

yeah, it’s the hungarian word for the hungarian language. it could be one of those situations where the actual meaning is “the language” or something, hungarian is a very unique language.

wait is he really named “Peter Hungarian”?

i mean they don’t take a cut directly, but the membership fees are proportional to GDP. some countries get back more money than they pay.

the electricity thing is different, and annoying. electricity doesn’t care about markets, it just goes wherever. the nordics still have europe’s cheapest electricity by far, but as long as the grids are connected together it’s all just one big machine and trying to treat it as a segmented market just leads to problems. it’s an abstraction.

just as a comparison, the big swedish natural resources (mining, fishing, forestry) are still basically all swedish (a bit of the forestry is part finnish which i don’t really see as an issue) so that’s not really a problem, and there’s no real movement in the EU to grab it.

no, the difference was clear to me before. good for other readers though.

wow

or if people would take the two seconds to click the “history” button on the file in the pull request. at this point, this brigading and targeted harassment of an individual with a history of depression and drug abuse has been going on for close to four years. it’s no longer a “PR” matter.

but… he did. the documentation has all been changed to use second-person pronouns for user actions. that was years ago. the most rudimentary checks of the git history shows this. yet people are still going at him for it.

the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

Edit: not to mention, this has been fixed. read the history of the documents touched by the offending PR and you will see that they were changed years ago.

steam that runs turbines tends to be recirculated. that’s already in the paper.

sometimes you need a machine that makes things up according to a given specification.
