Falkon is based on QtWebEngine.
So not Chromium although they may share renderer, but last I heard it was based on Webkit.

I use Falkon for things I want to do outside my main browser, for instance if a site doesn’t work, to see if it’s on my side.

My $300 32 inch IPS 16:9 monitor laughs hard at my old $2000 19 inch CRT.
If you are on a desktop, it’s insane how both cheap and good monitors have become. - Comment on Adult-content creators call for inclusion in AI policy talks. 1 week ago:

- Comment on Exclusive: Circle to Search is coming to Xiaomi 14T series - Spill Some Beans 1 week ago:
The specs sound a lot like 13T, and I’m not sure if this image search is better or more convenient than just using Google lens?
Anyways I love they’ve kept the flat front, which was a major point in my decision to get the 13T Pro.
Apart from the glass back, I really like the 13T, but in hindsight I think the non pro is better value if you are not a major gamer. - Comment on Driverless semis could be months away 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to Musk claiming this a few years back. Added a /Musk for clarity.
Hinting that this is probably about as much bullshit as when Muski says “Next Year” 8 years in a row for fully autonomous driving.PS: The Muski was a typo, but I’ll let it stand, because it’s an excellent reference to Musk being a Russian asset.

I don’t know where you live to think that, and all the people who upvote you??? For sure these work conditions would not be either legal or accepted in Scandinavian countries, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t legal in EU.
- Comment on My Job Is to Train Tesla's Cars to Drive Themselves 2 weeks ago:
These jobs sound very dystopian to me,
Absolutely, this too from the article:
“Why didn’t you make any changes to the software program for 15 minutes?” You could basically get fired for spending too long in the bathroom.
This is absolutely a hell hole of a job, they 100% need a union.
- Comment on Tesla says it will launch Full Self Driving product in Europe and China early next year 3 weeks ago:
OK, it must be accepted as an obvious a joke then.
But if it was considered the least bit ambiguous it would be illegal. - Comment on Tesla says it will launch Full Self Driving product in Europe and China early next year 3 weeks ago:
This is obviously a joke, but if a business had this poster, it would actually be binding, or at least it would in EU.
So unless there are actual free beers tomorrow, it’s false and illegal advertising. - Comment on Tesla says it will launch Full Self Driving product in Europe and China early next year 3 weeks ago:
Cross Country Summon
3,165 days since Elon Musk claimed summon would be able to autonomously drive a Tesla across country to pick up its owner in about two years. (1/6/2016)IDK, maybe he meant it would take 2 years for the Tesla to drive across country, once the summon function was completed?
It’s a bit ambiguous IMO.😋/s

We’d be a heck of a lot better off if the news agencies were held accountable for telling lies
Yes, other countries have that, it’s called journalism.
You can’t just parrot some source, and claim it’s reporting. You need to check your sources.
When they help spread lies, they are part of the problem. - Comment on How can we return to techno-optimism? 3 weeks ago:
Repubtard: HEY THAT’S SOCIALISM!!!
Except Scandinavians have more freedom, and better free competition than USA.
Repubtard: BUT IT’S SOCIALISM!!!
Ehrm, they also have better freedom of speech.
Repubtard: WHAT? ARE YOU A FUCKING COMMIE?
Actually they also rank way higher on democracy.
Repubtard: WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?
I don’t, but wouldn’t it be nice if everybody had healthcare, free education and social security so you didn’t have to fear to starve if you got ill and lost yopur job?
Repubtard: HEY THAT’S SOCIALISM!!!

- Comment on How can we return to techno-optimism? 3 weeks ago:
Anti monopoly and regulations against anti competitive practices are cornerstones of capitalism ensuring free and fair competition.
So no, what we need is a return back to when these practices weren’t allowed, away from allowing these things more than ever as we do now.
It’s easy to see Russia has become an oligarchy, why can’t we see it’s happening to us too? - Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 4 weeks ago:
Remember in 2016 there were LGBT for Trump?
It was absolutely insane!! No it doesn’t make sense, but there are always a percentage that are delusional, and sometimes they manage to convince others.
Probably there are people who actually believe they don’t deserve equal rights, this can be indoctrinated through religion, and religiousness in USA is VERY high.
There are probably also people who don’t see themselves as part of one of the groups even if they clearly are.
Remember the MAGA woman who was extremely surprised when her husband was expelled because he was an illegal alien? That’s how stupid people can be!
Because it’s “all the others” not “me” they think. - Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 4 weeks ago:
That doesn’t seem realistic. I don’t see how you can vote for Trump 2024, and claim to be a moderate.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 4 weeks ago:
Yes I agree, but only because they are a capitalists first and a human beings second.
They love him because they are morons, who don’t know they are engaging in self harm.
It’s sad that people of power, like for instance Elon Musk and the people behind Fox are so stupid they can’t see they are digging their own graves. - Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 4 weeks ago:
USA as a society is mentally ill, where sociopathy is often seen as a virtue. For instance denying poor people health care and food, denying pregnant women with potentially lethal complications the right to abortion. Allowing (white) people to kill (black) people without reason based on stand your ground rules. Refusing stricter gun rules despite countless school shootings.
The list of sociopathy permeating US society goes on and on.
Now I know that despite this, about half the population see the problems. The other half, somehow confuse Trump’s sociopathy with strength, and admire him for it. Yes this is how it is in USA, sociopathy is widely admired, people want Trump to hurt people, the poor, emigrants, people of color, LGBT. Many Americans want all these people to suffer, for no other reason than their mere existence. Somehow this is OK to even extend to women in general too.If you are a normal well functioning person, it’s near impossible to grasp that hate can be this widespread, and Trump is fueling it, and before him Republicans have been fueling it for decades.
This makes all the hateful illegal stuff Trump does nearly irrelevant, people simply don’t care, they just want to see the people they hate burn. It’s not that Trump isn’t called out at times, it’s just that it doesn’t really make a difference.

- Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 4 weeks ago:
OK I’ll link the danish test, this test is done with 2 cars that are identical, except for the color of the paint:
…tv2.dk/2018-05-24-bliver-en-sort-bil-varmere-i-s…
Konklusionen er altså, at den sorte bil ikke varmes mærkbart mere op end den hvide.
Translation:
The conclusion is that the black car does not heat up noticeably more in the sun than the white.So it does a little bit that you can measure, but not enough to really make a difference.
- Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 4 weeks ago:
Sorry can’t find it, all I can fins are some where the data isn’t clear.
If a white car has brighter interior it will stay slightly cooler, I cannot find a test where everything is the same except the color of the car.
What I can say however, is that the test I saw was performed in Denmark. It’s possible countries with hotter climates may observe some difference?Obviously the main source of heat is what enters through the windows, and how much is reflected out again does have an influence.,
If a white car has white seats and interior, they will obviously not heat as much as black seats and interior.
- Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 4 weeks ago:
I bet Kelvin couldn’t agree more. But to be fair, he started a bit on the negative side. And called everything above that plus.
- Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 4 weeks ago:
Also this is problematic:
12 degrees cooler
But by what scale? - Comment on Nissan develops paint that keeps cars cool in summer heat 4 weeks ago:
I seriously doubt that, tests have been performed comparing black and white painted cars, and the difference was insignificant. The heat buildup in a car is due to the the sunlight entering through the windows.
