Why would anyone trust an app from an anonymous source access their whole filesystem with read/write access? Who are you [email protected] and where are you from?

Maybe your impression also has something to do with this being the 20th repost of the same link.

I use https://github.com/sbarex/QLMarkdown and find it useful.

Well, the old Affinity Designer 2, Photo 2 and Publisher 2 together are 8.68 GB (Mac)

i'd recommend experimenting a bit, what works best for you. eg. for me lying flat on my back watching a monitor above me works for maybe 20min, then my eyes get dry, very uncomfortable. also check out http://www.earth360.com/ergonomic.html

In Europe, France is the country, which put most of their eggs in the nuclear basket. They have a massive problem with that setup these days, 28 of 56 of the plants are down. Many of the remaining have serious cooling problems because huge rivers like the Loire, have almost dried out. Despite plans to fill all gas storage for next winter, German gas plants still run on full throttle to support France with their current nuclear problems.

Am I the only one finding this painful to watch?

Not completely unclear. Renewable energy can be even more local than nuclear plants. A good grid is a valueable tool, but not the only solution. The zero-energy-house is a working example for self-sufficient development. Large office buildings or small residential houses are already being build this way. It's a matter of where to put the subvention money - to the big old coal companies (and their lobbies) or the innovative smaller engineers.

A couple of years ago there was a study about what this kind of insurance would cost: about 72 billion Euro per year.

> The study proves for the first time the years of market distortion in favor of nuclear energy and at the expense of the competition, said Uwe Leprich from the Saarbrücken University of Technology and Economics. "The study also shows that if you look at the economy from a regulatory perspective, nuclear energy is not competitive."

The electricity that is produced at night is sold cheaper in Germany, as it's mostly not used anyway - mostly because storage is difficult. But since the world is currently being filled with an abundance of large batteries like in electric cars, this energy loss will decrease over time. These batteries could also compensate peaks in demand.

'Not any harm' is quite a cynic formulation. Maybe a couple of hundred deaths seems relatively few, for such an enormous event. But the impact the event had on Japan, their economy and their mental state, was obviosly the worst since WW2.

And Fukushima is still not under control.

In Germany renewables are at over 42% in 2021, despite a 'conservative' government that for decades has blocked the development of windfarms and solar for the benefit of the coal and nuclear lobby. That kind of lobby-work is the actual problem here. The way forward is renewable energy. The huge difference is that the source of renewable energy is free and basically limitless.

The view I share with a majority of Germans: Costs of nuclear energy are very much a burden that future generations will have to carry. A hundered thousand years of safe storage is not part of the calculation of the energy price. It is also clear now that the the companies running the plants will not pay for the deconstruction of the plants after they reached their end of life. Tax payers have to pay for this, and a large part of the remains will need to be stored safely for millenia as well. This is the opposite of sustainability and fairness towards future generations. Worldwide there still exists only a single final storage solution for nuclear waste - in Finland for the finish waste. In densly populated Germany the search for a storage site has been going on since the late 1950s, so far without success. All this on top of the risk of a system failure that would devastate huge territories. In a country where, as we've recently seen, simple emergency warning systems are basically non-existent and fax is still the main communication tool for the authorities...

These patents might open the doors for legal battles that small companies might just not have the resources for. They're a perfect tool for trolls and bullies.

They also caused quite a stir with a satirical website called Vote Auction where people could sell their votes to the highest bidder. → https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voteauction

Maybe because it's been around for a couple of years?

Being from Germany I never heard about government based security checks. IT-wise our government doesn't make a very competent impression. Do you have any background info on this?

Inkscape vector tools are way more sophisticated than Sketch’s. For simple vector editing tasks Sketch might be ok, and for creating whole responsive screen designs Sketch is awesome. But vector editing is really one of Sketch’s weakest points (eg. creation of combined paths). The look of the UI is of course not comparable, but i’d prefer functionality over looks.

Hiding in the cloud? They must be kidding...

I'd say it's not so much about the ads, more about the way they're delivered with all those shady tricks for tracking and fingerprinting. IMHO ad blocking is more about privacy than anything else...

Does this use NodeIntegration? I'm kinda paranoid with Electron apps these days...

Anyone remembers Pachelbel Rant? First time I got aware of this topic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM

Definitely not my future. I liked 1Password so far, but my passwords will never go to the cloud.

Thanks, I'll definitely watch this.

I used the SASS version, too. But I found that in the end all the customization took me more time, than I usually need to set up the site without Bootstrap. For me Bootstrap is now more a helpful guideline than a practical codebase.
