Alas, the statistics say the opposite.

I was wondering how this compares, the car lobby ADAC [0] has Jan '24 22,474 vs Jan '25 34,498 for new EVs (so 50% more), Jan '24 was apparently a particularly bad month as the subsidies for EVs had just ended, looking at som

Thanks. The districts were a nice idea from Endless Legend, but I felt they were a bit rough in Civ. Refinement of ideas from VI sounds like a good start, good enough that I’ll not completely write VII off ;) I honestly can’t remember much

by Semaphor 2y ago
What's the complaint? I prefer V for familiarity, but VII looks better than VI to me.

by Semaphor 2y ago
But that information doesn’t help much without you having played VII like OP ;)

Was this written by AI? Every paragraph repeats a lot, while saying very little. Looking at their article images, I’m going to say probably. [1] seems like a better source, first thing I found, but it has actual content, maybe someone else

I’ve been reading in bed before sleeping since I was a kid. For years, I’ve almost exclusively read in bed (+ public transport, but that’s rather rare, less than 1/month). Yet when I am tired, or just don’t have the time to read 30–60

I’m still sad that Gajim (XMPP client) switched to this horrible design from their old one. There’s now no XMPP/Jabber client left on Windows that’s not optimized for MUC, only some like PSI/Miranda that lack support for some impo

I can only speak about my personal experience (and this was also in the pre-tinder times and on OKCupid, so generally a more nerdy than average demo), but I had the experience that even if one isn’t top-looking, women were generally impress

Almost all space opera is positive, not depressing. In case you are into that.

One of my favorite albums of the last year [0] has had its 5 tracks split into 3 parts each on streaming platforms. It’s kinda weird, but I assume it’s because of the way streaming services pay per track and not per second played. [0]: htt

Smart switches are a lot more annoying when renting, though. In addition, for us, all but the hallway bulbs make frequent use of color features, so I’d need both anyway. Though I’ll admit, it might be worth the hassle if you have guests oft

The formats seem to all be extensible in a way that allows you to update the version to make them compatible. The magic of XML.

by Semaphor 2y ago
Germany and France, at least, don’t have the issues mentioned here, as our e-invoicing standard is XML based (apparently now also compatible with PEPPOL XML) and doesn’t require an extra network with service fees or certifications.

It doesn’t seem to be EU-mandated? Only Italy and Belgium have it mandatory, according to [0], in other countries it’s only relevant for B2G. Outside that Wikipedia entry, I have also heard nothing about it becoming required in Germany (we

It’s highly annoying to me as well. I’m still paying for now, but since they started (I was using them in Beta), they’ve been slowly using towards the mainstream "implicit" behavior and away from "explicit" behavior. I n
