Yeah, every UI change since 7 has been for the worse, increasing the number of steps required to get work done.

I submit that their efforts to subdivide and subsequently subdue their subjugated subordinates by subtly subsidizing subversives is no substitute for substance and will substantially subtract from their ability to keep their reputations afloat.

Poland: “I’ve seen this one before.”
Yeah, if you’ve got a short commute, and some way to charge it at home, that’s the way to go. I’ve heard second hand about people needing to add fuel stabilizer to their plug-in hybrid because they use so little gas.
The market for hybrid vehicles has lately been growing even faster than for fully electric vehicles; hybrids, which do not have to be plugged in, allow consumers to avoid a patchy national public charging network.
Not to mention the lack of chargers at rented residences, and the inability for most of us to afford to buy our own house.
On a sufficiently large billiards table, it does become hard to prove that some balls don’t spontaneously sink themselves.
There was a relevant post on Lemmy the other day:
The origin and nature of existence is an epistemological black hole that some people like to plug with “a wizard god did it”.
The sensation of free will is an emergent property of a lack of awareness of the big stuff, the small stuff, the long stuff, and the short stuff.
I know how gerrymandering works in USA’s system - the last two far-right Presidents were elected despite the center-right candidate getting more votes. But the margins were tighter in those contests - a few percentage points not double digits. I’m curious about the peculiarities of the French system that lead to such an apparently wide gap between votes versus representation.
How is it that a French political party can get 15% fewer votes than a rival party, and end up with 8 more seats in Parliament than that rival party?
When I make steak fries at home, I’ll sometimes mix sour cream and hot sauce for a dip.
What, and I can’t stress this enough, the fuck?
That extra weight will also mean that more force is required to accelerate and change directions.
The nimbleness of a vehicle can be expressed as the ratio:
(Tire Contact Area * Tire Stickiness) / Vehicle Mass
Increasing the vehicle’s mass while making the tires harder will lead to longer breaking distances and will cause a vehicle to understeer at lower speeds.
So this big breakthrough in tire technology is . . . making them harder and reducing their grip?
There’s no reason EVs have to be heavier forever
That’s a bit of a stretch, unfortunately. The energy density of batteries is nowhere close to that of gasoline - joule for joule, gasoline weighs about 100 times less than batteries. Also, a fuel tank big enough to give its vehicle a 400 mile range will get lighter over the course of the trip, as the liquid fuel gets converted into polluting gas and exhausted into the atmosphere - batteries don’t get appreciably lighter as you discharge them.
Agree that 400 miles range with charging stations as ubiquitous as today’s gas stations would help EV adoption. I do worry about the rollout of charging stations being slowed down by competition with expensive and fragile hydrogen tech (keep the hydrogen on boats and trains pls).
why the hell would Mozilla be obliged to acknowledge this request?
That’s what I’ve been scratching my head about too. What leverage does Russia have to force them to do this? What consequences could they impose for non-compliance?
Does Mozilla own property in Russia? Sell it or write it off, then ignore the censorship request.
Do they have employees who live or have family in Russia? Either fire them or help them move, then ignore the censorship request.
None of the above? Perhaps it is we who need to fire Mozilla then.
Also, its probably safe to assume the producers will lie about how much they’re allowing to leak into the air.
There’s an app installed on your phone and a separate bluetooth device you keep in your car.
By default, it assumes you’re the driver of your car, but you can use the app to claim someone else was driving your car during a particular trip.
If you’re in someone else’s car, the app assumes you’re not driving because the bluetooth device in your car isn’t nearby.
I wasn’t using bluetooth with 7, so you could be right. But if I need to fiddle with wifi beyond just changing what AP I’m connected to, the network settings I typically want to look at, eg disabling adapters or manually setting an IP address, were available in fewer steps in 7 versus 10.
