StreetComplete asks about things other than street data as well. For example, I get queries about operating hours of businesses.
> It is the goal of every business to maximise profits. As a business, it is your responsibility to price your products in a way that will yield the most profit.
This is how the article starts, and it might be somewhat off-topic, but I disagree. Plenty of businesses (at least privately held ones) have the goal of simply making enough for the owners to get by. Not to optimize for the absolute maximum. And why should they be responsible to do so?
I don't know if this is the origin, but the semver spec says 0.x.y is unstable. Sure, not everybody uses semver, but it is popular enough for people to make incorrect assumptions.

Artifact flopped really hard.
This is off-topic, but I use the Firefox extension Foxy Gestures. When I draw a gesture on the featured website, a pop-up shows the gesture I'm drawing.
I have never seen that before. Is that some JS/CSS trickery? Or a bug in the extension?

Does that correlation hold if you look at let's say the top 20 popular languages?
I'm pretty sure that to upload your code to GitHub, you have to agree to their terms of service, which potentially give them all sorts of rights to your code. This creates a special relationship between you and GitHub that is separate from the license you assign to your project.
I think so, yeah. Although orpheus is also all right.
Do yourself the favor of joining Red and download your music in flac or mp3 made from high-quality sources instead of YouTube. The interview is not hard to pass if you prepare for it.
Isn't VSCodium built from the same source code as VSCode? Excluding a few proprietary things Microsoft puts into the official binaries.
I really like the UI! I use Firefox with Sidebery and the top tab bar hidden via userChrome.css, which is kind of a hassle. Zen supports that kind of layout out of the box.
I'm very happy to see a new modern browser not based on Chromium. Will definitely test drive it to see if it's worth switching to.
Are you implying there used to be honesty in marketing?
A Czech here with a small correction. Countries often have a long and a short version of their name. For example "Federal Republic of Germany" aka "Germany".
We didn't change the name, rather we adopted "Czechia" as an official short variant, since we previously didn't have one. So both are correct.
Otherwise I agree with your point. This is just a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
This was already tried with the Do Not Track header. Websites simply ignore it. They don't want an easy way to get the user's preference. Because they know that most users would set it to decline tracking. Sites would rather annoy every visitor for the chance that they click 'accept'.
That could be done base on metadata like description, tags or categories.
To me, a "modern multi-user paradigm" is Nix with Home Manager. Where most of my software is installed in my user's environment and not on the system level. Thus, if there were another user on the same machine, we could each manage our own software and updates without affecting the other.
Video games already have to prove their suitability to receive an age rating.
Sure, but there are also single-player games on the list. You asked for a source that such a thing happens. The link proves that it does.
Not gp but I have multiple friends who got the Quest just to play Beat Saber as a form of cardio exercise.

To add another data point, it works for on me on Linux/Firefox/X. So the Wayland theory might be correct.

EU legislation previously mandated micro USB on phones. That didn't seem to kill innovation, we still got USB-C. The only thing it killed was every manufacturer using a different bad connector. I don't see any downsides.
ChatGPT seems to be able to parse images pretty well now. I wonder why they don't simply feed it a screencap of the rendered page instead of the html.
