I am really conflicted about this. On one hand I get that green policies are instrumental in stopping climate change before it’s too late. On the other I know some people who work in the automotive industry and they all agree that we shot ourselves in the foot with this regulation. We ended up being the only committed nation block (whatever) while anyone else (namely China, India and the USA) kept doing little or nothing, token contributions if any, but few long run plans like we did.

Someone needs to lead the way. How is being more virtuous shooting ourselves in the foot, exactly?

Am I the only one to still use regular vim? I tried to switch to Neovim a few years ago, but there were a few things I didn't like, so I switched back. Vim has improved tremendously, so I no longer feel a need to switch. With LSP and Copilot, I feel that I am close to the optimal dev environment these days...

Never seen that banner or an ad. I guess it's just a matter of time though 😕

Getting rid of these fees means they will be displayed in the overall cost, which might in turn reduce the number of people flying.

30€ flights (that you end up paying more due to these hidden costs) are definitely part of the problem.

“Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.”

Yep, that's pretty vague

I don't buy on Amazon anymore. Not only to they treat their employees like crap, but also it's harder and harder to find quality stuff on their platform. Fake reviews are a huge problem.

I’m willing to bet a team of untrained, uneducated, software/data engineers receiving big salaries are responsible for this.

I'd be willing to bet that they've outsourced to India instead.

This is big news. It will have repercussions on the way big pension funds invest their money, which in turn will affect interest rates, share prices, etc. In the long run, this is definitely going to have real-world repercussions, even if it's hard to see exactly what right now.

One day here and there, sure. Going to another place to work for a week or more? Absolutely stupid. Work is still work, and if you have to work, you might as well work in the best conditions, not on some small screen that you can barely see because of the sun.

Smartphones are orders of magnitude more distracting than whatever existed before. Also, you can teach digital literacy all the while forbidding smartphone use outside of class, there is no real opposition there.

All of this is just noise designed to keep us talking about the site. You could call it bad advertising. We should stop feeding the troll.
