Also there will be no way to organise one because the government will drop your social score for even thinking about it of talking to anyone else with a low score.

Which is perfect for the government because everyone will change their behaviours to match what the government wants.

I seem to remember old demos of booting android on old iphones but I doubt it will ever be practical and probably next to impossible these days. Would likely be easier to design and produce a whole new phone than crack the multiple layers o

I don't know what device you are running but the reddit and twitter websites seem to be built to be absolutely horrible to use. Both get stuck on long loading screens and have constant popups getting in my way.

Github search also only searches content hosted on github.com which while still large is only a fraction of the code available on the internet.

I had to endure the horror of reading it that way yesterday. Twitter loads incredibly slowly and keeps showing full screen popups to sign up which if you aren't very careful will redirect you away from the page. Why on earth would anyo

Its a lot smaller than 50% but if the improvement is minimal then you might never offset the production emissions but if you are switching to an electric car it only takes about 2 years depending on the car and your location.

You can have email notifications without filling up your inbox. Just set up a filter rule to move all emails from an address to a folder. I do that for all spammy things like mailing lists or issue tracker comments.

Tracking your location and speed is fine. What is creepy is sending that data off to fitbits servers where they do whatever they want with it. Fitbit have also been known to hand over your health data to police when requested. There is lite

Its amazing how low the bar for quality is on major google websites. How did such a broken feature end up running on YouTube for a year?

It does seem very artificial. A very boring/obnoxious app that went from nothing to being pushed at me from everywhere.

Instead of tabs on the top of the window you get them along the side of the window which left you have about 10x more tabs open while still being able to read the names for all of them. I have been using it for years and would never use a b

That's because YouTube uses non standard HTML features that only work in chrome and then polyfills it for every other browser so it works like shit unless you use chrome.

The most common filament used (PLA) is labeled as non toxic and is made of mostly corn. So yes it would be surprising if that was found to be toxic.

Even accounting for that the fact is cars are massively more unsafe than scooters. Are you trying to say that being hit by a scooter at 20km/h is just as dangerous as being hit by a monstrous block of metal moving at 60km/h

I have a 250w ebike and I have powered up slopes so steep I have to put my chin on the handlebars to keep the front wheel on the ground. Power isn't the issue. Its just piss weak motors.
