I think it's fair to say those brands will source from the cheapest, scummiest places and it doesn't matter what "certificate" sticker is on the box.

But it is so hard to avoid them where I live :/ Even the fairtrade, vegan and ~~responsible~~ green washed products are from those 3...

Even WWF doesn't think avoiding palm oil is a good solution. Not short term and definitely not long term

https://wwf.panda.org/discover/our_focus/food_practice/sustainable_production/palm_oil/

Palm is the most efficient crop for producing a wide range of fats. Replacing it with some other source of fat will require more land and water, and disrupt nature in another part of the world.

IMO they should just remove the equality operator on floats.

If they need permission for third party cookies and those are now no longer possible, the popups can go already.

And if a site doesn't want to serve people that do not accept data hoarding, an account with terms and conditions is the only logical way to go.

Belgium forced facebook to not track users without an account and they reacted by doing this exact thing (requiring an account to even read pages). It made it a lot easier for me to not having to deal with Facebook at all. If some store or organization only had the info on Facebook, I'll just tell them I can't access it 🤷‍♂️

Around here, the €1 hamburger 15y ago cost €1.3 a year ago which is more or less the inflation. This year it is at €1.6

The last 2 years prices for food went up a bit more than the inflation, but not that much more. But as with anything that's basic needs, it impacts the poor a lot more.

Now if you look at vegetables and other fresh food, it's even worse and I think it's a lot more important than the cheapest burger at McDonald's that was way too cheap to begin with.

Other package managers, like nuget, throw errors if all dependencies on a package cannot be met by a single version.

This is probably the result of it copying all libraries in the same output directory and that .net cannot load 2 different versions of the same library so more an application restriction.

The downside of this is that packages often can't use newer features if they want to not block the users of that library and that utility libraries have to have his backwards compatibility so applications can use the latest version while dependent libraries target an older version. Often applications keep using older versions with known security issues.

They also couldn't call it ".Net Core 4" so they called it ".Net 5"

Will they keep skipping numbers or start thinking about not naming everything the same.

I use it to open the spell checker options while I'm typing. It's annoying to have to switch from keyboard to mouse. My current laptop doesn't have the key and I even added another short key.

The super key, again, is useful so you don't have to switch between keyboard and mouse when searching for an app. It is also the modifier for all GUI shortcuts.

This is unthinkable in the EU. If a company isn't sure about the needed force, they need to hire temps.

If you don't have a technical or economical reason, you are not even allowed to lay off an employee.

And you have to give notice for a period, which is proportional to the time you worked for the company, or you have to pay this fully as severance and this can be more than a year.

Protected employees (voted as union representatives) are even harder to fire.

This does come with the downside that some, almost not productive, colleagues never get fired. But I guess it beats the alternative of having almost no protection.

Depends on the grid. If the lines and transformers are already used close to their limit, more smaller buffer batteries and smaller solar installations, closer to the user, could be more efficient and not require grid adjustments. The closet to the user, the less grid adjustments are needed.

Industrial roof solar should be standard in any new building by now. Companies need the power in the day and it can be used without even needing to use the grid.

Especially when you start typing something and it already started searching with your partial input and you your further and notice the thing your search for is first so you press enter, for it to now place another thing first with the extra input 😡

How can "displ" open display settings, but "display" opens a help page in Edge

Their brain was bigger and took longer to fully mature so it could be that Neanderthals were smarter and would not be stupid enough to eat magnets.

Maybe we were more social or aggressive, wasted less energy or they were just absorbed or killed by our species.
