  China flooding the market with cheap EVs still makes the rich richer… Just different rich people in a different country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created a board game alternative for evil people⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks interesting, but I think a website would be better suited for this (so people can spontaneously play it without having to download anything). Please consider making one :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minimum wages in Europe: How do salaries compare across the continent?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s important to note that, at least in Austria, while there is no universal “minimum wage” per se there is a minimum wage for every job (“Kollektivveträge”). So effectively there is a minimum wage.

  I can’t wait for the glorious future - one day this won’t be unrealistic anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit embracing all out enshittification⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s hard since it could theoretically also be an actual user who used that website themself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fossil fuels⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sustainable energy is heavily subsidised in Europe. Thanks to that we have 80% renewable energy production in Austria (and buy some non-renewable energy from other countries but still, we’re on a good way).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hyundai pauses X ads over pro-Nazi content on the platform⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not like antisemitism prevented people from supporting the NSDAP (in many cases the opposite). Sure, when they were elected they didn’t know what to do with Jews yet, but antisemitism was one of the pillars of their philosophy (if the people are unhappy you have to take responsibility or simply point at someone and say “they are responsible, it’s their fault”) and antisemitism has existed since forever. (Of course there were not only Jews in concentration camps but they were initially made for them).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Escape From the Iron Age?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fundamentally different from steel. We don’t really have an alternative currently. You could use something like aluminium but that’s not environmentally friendly either (in the initial production, for recycling it’s great).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to Escape From the Iron Age?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Coal is required for steel, electricty-based heat would only work to lower carbon emissions (especially when recycling steel since you don’t need coal there), but you couldn’t prevent them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the hydrogen made?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ultimate idea afaik is to build huge renewable energy power plants (for example solar energy in deserts) to generate it there, and then transport it through pipelines to wherever you need it.

  Can someone explain please?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is working to make it easier to switch from iPhone to Android because of the EU⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I completely understand that features come in their native language first but even such long-standing features like call screening aren’t available in any other language than English yet (also didn’t know it even worked outside the USA)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electric cars will be cheaper to make than gas vehicles but with much higher repair and insurance costs⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You might want to take a look at Aptera. If we’re lucky they’ll sell their first cars in 1-5 years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is working to make it easier to switch from iPhone to Android because of the EU⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many of these extra features are only available in the USA, and quite a few features only work well in English.

  Anyway, my previous phone (Galaxy S8) was perfectly smooth until the very end. Of course loading times for larger programs are shorter now on my Pixel 7 but in the end it barely makes a difference (I’m not playing any ressource-heavy games).

  But where Pixels actually are better is when it comes to the camera (or rather camera software), their photos currently are the best ones (by phone cameras) on the market (yes, I’m including Apple here) (of course Apple and Samsung aren’t far behind (at a much higher price), but it’s incredibly impressive what the Pixel base and A models can do at a much lower price). Their photo editing AI (or rather their chip for it) also still is better than Samsung’s.

  Good quality but still overpriced. You pay for the brand name.

  Mistral AI currently. They’re just a minority currently but I doubt it’ll stay that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft advertising Copilot on lock screens⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sadly both of these don’t work well when adding 3+ languages. I love typing by swiping but it worked so much better before I installed more languages.

  Really hoping they’ll fix that one day.
