Changing speed of your mouse pointer? I don’t really get it.

That’s pretty cool, I was thinking about building my own thermostat a few years ago.
My previous one died and the company stopped making them. But what I really liked is that it was a “smart” thermostat that was made before the IoT age.
It was “smart” in a way that it had a motion sensor and basically just turned on the heating for 1 to 3 hours after it saw motion. The duration was something you could set yourself.
I really liked that concept, because I never had to change anything during a holiday or even a night in a hotel. If you aren’t at home, no motion, no unnecessary heating.
The thermostat was in a pretty central place in our house so you would definitely trigger it every 2 hours when getting a drink or using the toilet.
Wait YouTube had ads? 😉
Did you see that John Oliver piece on Musk?
I have been using revanved for years, never really had major issues.
Also just not using the service isn’t going to change anything. I think Reddit was a good example of how companies really don’t listen to their users.
So I’ll just keep using it without ads, once it doesn’t work anymore I’ll just switch to the next solution or stop using YouTube. I do have Nebula so maybe I’ll just, only use that at some point.
Thanks the clickbait title really threw me off.
Have been using Firefox on Android for years, it’s pretty good with a decent adblocker.
There is a reason I only watch YouTube on my phone or laptop and not my smart TV. Because we went from one ad every few videos to multiple unskippable ads per video. It has become worse than old cable TV.
Did you read the article? Because there is zero infighting and it’s not about cars vs bikes. The article is basically just saying that everyone is looking at electric cars, but electric bikes and mopeds actually have much more impact at the moment. That is because in a lot of Asian countries these are the default mode of transport. It’s way cheaper to replace fossil mopeds with ebikes and emopeds.
Also what do you mean not as many people can use them at the same time? These things have pretty small battery packs, you can just charge them at a regular socket in your house.
Also an ebike is way lighter than a car so the amount of microplastics is way less.
Your whole point about distance? The article starts that 60% of trips in the US are less than 10KM, easily done on an ebike or emoped.
Not sure how helpful this is but in the past I used a Firefox addon called check 4 change
You can let Firefox monitor a website in the background for change.
A con of this solution is that it only works when Firefox is running.
You could also try to maybe automate it with

Take CPUs for example, ARM CPUs where kind of a joke 20 years ago, but now they are taking over X86. So its actually not bad working on competing technologies. Even about cars there is an example like that, also maybe 20 years ago battery cars where kind of a joke, while hydrogen fuelcells where all the hype back in the day. While now it seems battery is definitely winning. Although maybe in the next 20 years this turned out to be completely wrong again.
Ok fair point, it’s pretty clear in this case it’s about bikes vs cars, but technically correct.
Electric, not really sure if this is a real question or sarcasm.
Yeah, Opera tried but eventually just gave up and now uses Blink, Microsoft tried with Edge (Spartan) but gave up and now also uses Blink.
Blink is the render engine made for Chrome
That was a pretty poor tldr
Real tldr, lawyer gets angry at IT worker for asking if it’s plugged in. IT worker goes to his office, plug wasn’t in.
Who the hell fucking cares but even more bizarre, who the hell thinks this is worthy of being in a news paper (even if it’s only online).
Yeah when I got my first smartphone and whatsapp wasn’t around yet I had to pay like 10 or 15 cents per sms. So when WhatsApp became an option everybody and their mother jumped ship and joined. For a while sending an sms and getting back I’m on WhatsApp was a thing.
Nowadays I think sms is basically part of your plan an for most plans unlimited. But they milked it way too hard back in the day. So most people just don’t use it at all.
It sucks that better alternatives like slack went from the big player to a small player only because of Microsofts power over businesses. If teams would win because it was actually a better product I’d be fine with that. But teams is just a pile of shit we are forced to use.
Let me guess American? In Europe basically everyone uses Whatsapp, lots of people use Telegram some use signal. I use all of them.
Teams it’s the absolute worst and it’s the only app that can sometimes crash my Linux machine
Do you think people that are gay are mentally ill? Do you think those people choose specifically to be attracted to people from the same sex? A lot of the same things can de said about people that are attracted to kids.
I’m not trying to say we should in any shape or form tolerate child abuse. But it’s important that we recognize that there are people like this and they didn’t choose to be that way. People have no problem to talk about punishment, but don’t like to also accept that they are also victims in a way.
I tried obsidian, but the Android app is pretty terrible. So in the end I still use Google keep. I would definitely like a more open Foss option, but haven’t found one that works on Linux and Android that I like.
