Including comic sans. German website with aesthetic from the previous century, what else is new?

The mammoth one is uncanny valley for me.
As a Dutch resident, I seriously disagree here. We are just coming out of a 15 year long neoliberal period that has caused the following:
All these things are having the effect of pushing people IN cars, because the alternative is getting more expensive for reduced service. Heck, road congestion is significantly up from pre-pandemic levels and that’s with the neoliberals investing billions upon billions in new asphalt.
Not Just Bikes is in a bubble, and it’s seriously irritating to have foreigners believe we’re this utopia.
And nearly all of that is usually prefilled correctly to the euro by the Belastingdienst.
Why did this take the IRS so long where other nations have been doing this for decades?
Official government recommendation for Dutch school is to ban smartphones in class. For now it’s just an advice, but it may become law in the future.
This does not entirely surprise me. When Tesla became well-known a significant fraction of taxi services in my country switched to Tesla. Why: a) it was cheaper to buy since subsidies for EVs, b) electricity being cheaper than fuel, and c) Tesla being perceived as luxury.
Within a couple years most taxi services had gone back to ICE cars. The Teslas had inferior build quality, and repair turnaround time was awful compared to regular ICE cars. This meant a large fraction of the Tesla fleet was idle as they were waiting to be repaired.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Hertz encountered the same. It’s not that EVs are bad. It’s that the largest supplier of EVs in the West, Tesla, is bad and slow to repair cars.
A website where you can download paywalled scientific literature. Most scientific literature is paywalled by publishers, and costs a real significant amount to read (like 30-50$ per article if you don’t have a subscription).
Scihub basically just pirates it. And has been shut down several times. But as most scientific studies are already laid with public money, scihub isn’t that unethical at all.
Sigh…
Authy desktop was extremely useful when my phone broke during an international trip, and getting a new one obviously took some time due to well… being abroad.
Yeah this sounds more like a distraction so as not to spend a single dollar extra on real measures.
That has been tried with the DoNotTrack header. Turned out servers didn’t oblige by it.
Whether or not it was a plug, at the time of the incident this piece its role was basically that of a portion of fuselage.
This is damn great.
Insanely vile.
Martin Shkreli, now that’s a name I would never associate with even anything remotely positive. Not someone you want as a “supporter” usually.
Even if you ignore the latter half of 2023 there is a huge and consistent decline in number of posts per day.
This. While yeah at times it certainly feels a bit empty, Lemmy feels like old Reddit or maybe even the days of Forums before. Interesting, engaged discussions, rather than vapid one-liners that reddit ultimately became.
Just block the news and politics communities. It’s good for your sanity.
Same here. Spend several hours a day on reddit since 2014, but haven’t logged in since the API shutdown. Only the occasional Google search brings me there.
So wait, bit-shifting some integers is now considered being malicious? Is that really the defense here? Using that definition just about all software in existence is malicious.
