You have heard the thing that Ethiopia is banning import of all ICEs? https://electrek.co/2024/02/02/it-begins-ethiopia-set-to-become-first-country-to-ban-internal-combustion-cars/

That’s what I’m wondering too!

This sounds neat. But we’ve used protractor with Gherkin years ago. Even at my current job we use BDD a lot. What’s new here? The comparison table is honestly very Apple-like: just pick something you know you’ll beat and dumb the comparison down a lot to leave little room for fact-checking.

I’m not saying this is bad software. I’m saying it’s not being sold well to someone that has been in this space for a while. It seems to mainly sell to people that have never heard of Gherkin/Cucumber before.

The US is a broken democracy. But unfortunately right now the only way to salvage anything and even get a chance of reforming it ever, you have to vote for Harris. It’s sad and the rest of the world would be laughing at you if it weren’t this serious for all of us. Please get Harris in and then suggest a move to a more pluralistic, modern democracy after. The other candidates will not matter in the current system. All you do is helping whoever wins.

The Logitech MX Master is the best productivity mouse ever. Apple apparently has no desire to compete with it.

Can’t we ever have software that just keeps working? Password managers are like the new RSS readers.

1. search around for a good one
2. find a nice one and start using it
3. they add stuff you didn’t want and slowly make it worse
4. they’re bought up/ abandoned/ otherwise become unviable

Back to 1)

This thread mostly shows how broken the democratic system in the US is, not that she did anything wrong. Try coming to a real democracy with many parties and coalitions being formed. They actually thrive on dissent, finding compromise and collaborating for the greater good ;)

One of the reasons the tech nerd in me is against some of the fancy modern e-bikes like Cowboy. And the silly wireless shifter stuff. But the tech is cool!

The only thing I realize and accept I won’t repair myself are hydraulic brakes and wheel truing. At least I understand the mechanism, I just think someone with more experience should do it. Everything else on a bike should be simple enough to fix with the right (cheap-ish) tool, an hour or so of time and a good manual.

This sounds like a great way for me to have fun!

… by fiddling for hours to get crazy mods running to then never play the game 😂

I’m starting to get the data hoarding crowd more and more. We have been taught this dream of “the internet never forgets” but people missed to mention that it’s on the average Janes and Joes to make sure that is the case. Corporations want the internet to forget because it’s better for business.

I’d love to use Signal exclusively and recommend it or move over group chats wherever possible. But some friends and family keep me on WhatsApp and messenger. IMHO using those less is better than using them a lot and having more apps is better than socially isolating yourself.

The problem is there is no competition here. I’d love to see several repairable smartphones with slightly different features that create some competition. For example something with a max 5.5” screen and only a single camera.
