Last year China installed more solar than the rest of the world combined, but they have less than 1/5th of the worldpopulation 🤷

There are lot’s of things you can criticize China about, their commitment to renewable energy isn’t one of them.

I’m not convinced that source isn’t just spreading the urban myth. You’re going to have to come with something with more weight behind it than the webpage of a seller of heatpumps. Here’s another source saying it has nothing to do with eating: https://www.la-tour.ch/fr/conseils/se-baigner-apres-manger-faut-il-vraiment-attendre-3-heures

And what does that have to do with swimming after eating?

A big drying rack for things that don’t go in the dishwasher. Drying with a towel sucks and is unhygienic.

Maybe (probably) I’m just stupid and clumsy but cleaning as I go means cooking takes even more time and effort. I do it exactly the other way around, to minimize cleaning time I only clean my kitchen every few days when my counter gets too full. YMMV.

Both is best.

Enlighten me which part of the Netherlands doesn’t eat bland food ;)

No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.

Canonical ships ZFS like Nvidia ships proprietary drivers, which seems to work (legally and technically) but it means the development of ZoL is a bit cumbersome and can never be integrated in the kernel development like other filesystems.

CDDL is not LGPL and is GPL incompatible

You guys shouldn’t complain, you still have saldering (net metering) ánd get money for the electricity you have left which is still a huge subsidy.

I haven’t really used any other platforms so I can’t really compare but I have encountered enough audio issues too. Especially with new Teams and bluetooth devices.

There are plenty of companies that never pay dividends, yet people buy them.

II struggled with this as well for a while. You can look at it this way, they are worth money because they could pay dividends, but they don’t actually have to. Your bar of gold is worth a certain amount of money equal to the money you could sell it for, and your money is worth something because you could buy something with it.

Because that’s how the stock market works, the price of a stock is the current value of assets (including cash) + expected earnings (with some correction factors for risk and time). If the company pays out $x of cash it’s $x worth less. You might not always see it it the stock price because expected future dividend payments are also already priced in.

How do you think it works?

Imagine you have 10 stocks worth $10 each.

Scenario 1: There is $1 dividend per stock. You now have 10 stocks worth $9 each for a total of $90 in stocks and $10 in cash.

Scenario 2: There is no dividend but you decide to sell 1 stock, you now have 9 stocks of $10 for a total of 90$ in stocks and $10 in cash.

These scenario’s are equivalent unless the stock wasn’t priced correctly.

A dividend is just a forced sale of your stock

How is it fake news? They are moving functionality into a proprietary SDK and have a whole framework ready to get around the GPL.

There’s a reason Chrome was able to steal the alt browser market from Mozilla at a time when even laymen understood that IE was awful - Mozilla stopped innovating the second they were winning. They had tabs! What more could you want?

That’s part of the story, but even more important is that they shoved it down everyone’s throat.

So instead of spending 1 day writing good code, we’ll be spending a week debugging shitty code. Great.

Security software are also “apps”. Since Microsoft is also in the security software business locking down access for their competitors could definitely be seen as anti-competitive practices.

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly with MacOS so other rules apply.
