There is also another website which offers more information on generation plants (planned and built) [0]. [0]: https://energydashboard.co.uk

Maybe, yeah. It did seem a bit slower around the 400 mark, though -- there are definitely limitations.

> I routinely have 50+ tabs open For what it's worth, I've been known to have 300+ tabs open all in separate windows (I just forget about them and they tend to accumulate), and for the most part it handled it just fine (it did

I'm sure I got malware from there, once - it seems rife with illegitimate apps.

If anything, it seems more poised to damage the usability of systems which actively rely on Aurora Store, like CalyxOS and the likes. Graphene actively discourages using Aurora.

That's great from a user perspective, sure. From my perspective, with all of these different web APIs, I imagine Mozilla are walking a tightrope: if they refuse to implement all of them, there's a good chance that websites will

I suppose it's harder to cross-reference and find things, though I suspect you could utilize some sort of organizational system to mostly overcome that. I really do think pen and paper will slowly regain prominence; I personally find t

Firefox is genuinely quite a good option. There are some Google-driven web proposals that they've refused to implement[0] (I'm sure I disagreed with some of them, though I forget which), but overall I've found that I've

Reintroducing pen and paper to your note-taking repertoire might not be such a bad idea, anyway -- it's a much more creative medium than most digital, textual forms.

Thank you!

I do think the language around that needs to change, yes -- misleadingly labelling renting as buying is wrong and deliberately confusing. The previous physical ownership model was a lot more secure, though the implementation of DVDs does s

I have just been reading an article about it from the EFF[0]. What a vitriolic, hateful enterprise. > Take, for example, the case of the Tammy Lafky, a 41-year-old sugar mill worker and single mother in Minnesota. Because her teenage da

They are inherently charging for access to copyrighted content that they don't have the rights to distribute (even after being served with lawsuits), though. I'm not explicitly disavowing it, but I can see why it would raise ques

Whilst it pays for the service (and, in that respect, may be a necessary evil), it's morally questionable (at minimum) to charge for things that, by law, aren't yours in the first place.

I would presume that the extra steps incrementally diminish the possibility of the book remaining unsold, and thus destroyed or sent elsewhere.

The Pixel 5 was an absolutely brilliant phone; everything about it was right: the texture, the size, and the battery was great too. It was the best phone I've ever had. It's a blueprint for creating a great phone, IMO. I'v

Could you provide a reference about them playing silent audio? I was curious and searched for it but wasn't able to find anything.

It takes up quite a sizable amount of the screen, too, so anything in the corner is effectively hidden without interacting with the popup. These pop-ups have been the bane of my life.

If nothing else, I really do hope that the greater AI usage leads to more adoption (and hopefully interest) of native frameworks.

I assume that the success of individual parts of the website are predicated on whether or not they contribute to the platform's addictiveness, and that's been gradually improved over time: moving an icon 5px to the left, or slight

What are the opinions of those here on using AI for court rulings? To me, it seems truly frightening that a Silicon Valley company could be placed in such a direct position of trust and influence over the legal system. There are examples o

That's awful, I'm glad I've never actually used either platform. These companies obviously seem to be employing psychologists et. al. to figure out how to make the platforms more addictive; I can't see how they'd

I suspect the energy efficiency correlates with how old it is -- modern silicon in laptops is amazing. I doubt a new PC would take up 45W like this i7 7700k-powered one I've had for years.

I'm curious: what other ideas did the author have, and why were they rejected? I can't find anything on their website.

An interesting experiment. I suppose that if you make things like CAPTCHAs too hard to do, we'd end up struggling as well. I can't imagine Ghost Font would be a good fit.

Is that implementation open-source? I'm sure it's bundled as part of Google Play, not AOSP.

Perhaps the AI boom will encourage / subsidize(?) native development in a way? If it can be made more approachable, then maybe it would become more prevalent...
