Since the usual arguments pro RE are being made: One of the main downsides of RE is

a) its need of fossil backup and b) profits of solar / wind goes into the pockets of its owners while c) the costs of fossil backup and increased network capacities are to be borne by the general public so that d) wealth is distributed from the bottom to the top whose e) RE systems a being subsidized by the public too.

In conclusio, the bottom half pays for the profit of top earners who can afford to invest in RE. That’s the green „revolution“ for ya.

US have fought in two theaters at the same time before, remember?

Photopea is super easy to use and I’m using it almost every day, despite having a fully licensed PS 2021 version installed on my iMac.

Photoshop is just way to slow compared to Photopea. So it’s both easier to use and much faster than the original.

Kudos to Ivan for this!

If you prefer reader mode, like I do, any Medium-based platform is a PITA cause all images are blurred. Anyone who is on a crappy connection will have them same. What a fuxxing shame! Can we stop using this crappy platform please?

What’s about the claim that if you drop GA, your site will degraded by Google and you’ll lose traffic?

Both the :has and the :contains selector (as in ul:has(> li:contains("Built")) ) were new to me. So thanks to the author for sharing that little trick!

I was using Ecosia for a number of weeks and did achieve some 80 planted trees over the course of that period.

However, I eventually was so frustrated over the poor search results that I did move back to DDG.

Ecosia‘s intentions might be noble and worth supporting, but I cannot really follow how one can stay with them when the overall experience is so poor.

I don’t even mind some possible privacy issues as noted above but it all comes down to being at least comparably good to Google and DDG. Which is sadly not the case with Ecosia.

Haha, they are up for a good joke it seems!

Haven’t heard about generative.fm either so thanks for sharing it!

From inside of Shopify I’ve heard about a lot of shit stories. For their employees, it may be less ideal to have a CEO messing around with code.

From the outside though, the company does extremely well.

Nonetheless, CEOs are generally not supposed to „make“ but to manage. There has to be a tradeoff somehow.

TypeScript in 50 Lessons was written by Stefan Baumgartner (https://twitter.com/ddprrt) and technically reviewed by Shawn Wang (https://twitter.com/swyx).

There’s a sample PDF chapter available at http://provide.smashingmagazine.com/eBooks/typescript-sample...

I hope it may be worth a read or perhaps even buying the book. Enjoy!

I’d rather have no telly at all than buying some crap Samsung tv for €2.000 only to see their programmatic advertising. Whoever at Samsung decided this must be drunk! But hey, I guess there still are enough people around who don’t care.
