I don't think that's what the parent post was asking. Yes, batteries are expensive. Yes, EVs are heavy. But they are also simpler than ICE and they have less parts. Even _good_ electric cars. If you wanted to build a car in your b

Reading this I ask myself why does one chooses to work in such a work environment? Are people working there doing it because they feel they're part of a bigger dream? Seems to me like it's very hard to feel this way when you'

Not listening to the ads is so far from stealing, I am almost not sure if you're serious. It's my right to decide whether to rewind a minute, to lower the volume, to skip a whole boring episode etc'. It's also my right

The single best thing I've done to keep my home folder organized is to empty my downloaded files regularly. I have a systemd timer that removes everything from ~/Downloads once a day, as well as all ~/Pictures/Screenshot

How are these two things contradicting? You can have universal health care and still have the rich paying for private services and research, with their own money and with their taxes. (In my country we have a relatively-to-the-US wonderful

Very nice and useful! I guess that's not your main concern, but when I tried to type some Hebrew characters the whole board disappeared (try שלום).

Or just an mp4 video. I converted (with ffmpeg) one GIF and it turned from 6MB to 1.5MB without any parameters settings, and still looking perfect.

Yeah, it would be great when it'll work for more than just 60% of the internet users. Maybe then we can actually use it!

I don't think it has any FOUT, because the whole element is styled with "display: none;". Only after the JS is parsed, it formats the Markdown code and then re-display it.

Do you know many people in Gaza? Because I do and they complain much more about Hamas than they do about Israel. I'm far from agreeing with Israel's policies regarding Gaza, but the truth is it's far from being Gaza's bi
