The point with EVs being over 45k is mostly the extremely pricey battery, China just subsidized until their cars are at a better price, the EU wants to protect European car manufacturers, that’s that.

As others pointed out, having the feeling of knowing (about) things without actually having experienced them yourself is a core feature of what one might call intelligence, and as such not insane.

I would argue instead that the problem isn’t with arguments over stuff you haven’t experienced yourself, but rather people caring too much about their fixed opinion and not about actually trying to find the truth (e.g. though argument) as they might proclaim.

(I am relatively certain of this point as I’ve seen seemingly good counter examples to this provided by the LessWrong community, where people often discuss topics they do not necessarily have experience with, but rather try to find the truth and therefore not have a fixed opinion beforehand.)

Yeah that 24% may very well be true for the average of “the price of everything”, but food is definitely closer to a 100% increase, so especially people with lower income will be closer to experiencing inflation of up to a hundred percent and not “just” 24.

because it’s insanely difficult to get along completely without YouTube. Or if you happen to have some kind of business it’s easier said than done to “just not optimize” for Google products or “just not use Google services” like having a Google Maps entry. On a side note, even getting a privacy focused smartphone without using Google services and products is near to impossible (e.g. GrapheneOS only works on Pixel phones…)

Good to know, thank you!

Can you even to that now? I remember a few years back you could only have 1000 liked songs

*dont --force it, you mean.

I’ve always wondered how much that slows down GTK compared to a more native version to draw stuff…

Will name every of my functions like this now, thank you for pointing out that incredible meaningful name

To a better place.

At the start of the show, he could have been autistic too…

That is, indeed, the case.

It is indeed, got all my friends addicted as well :)

My favorites:

• OpenTTD: Old transport tycoon game, but really fun especially in multiplayer
• Minetest: Minecraft-like voxel game engine, which means there a many different game modes
• Beyond All Reason: Great RTS, also great in online multiplayer or with some friends. (Disclaimer: Possible unfree licenses for artwork)
• Dwarf Fortress (free but not open source, thanks for telling me that one): not everyone’s cup of tea, but sometimes you just get stuck in it for hours on end

Really nice recommendation, thank you!

Great game, although someone recently told me not all graphics were licensed free licenses.

Delta is an impressive Game Emulator not normally allowed in the App Store and Enmity is a nice Discord client modification

*And if you’re okay with having a Google account, because you need one in the app, but not on the website
