Microsoft Edge could use a win
Use an ad-filled browser controlled by a megacorp, with an engine built by another megacorp?
Hmmm, I dunno

Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW
I love it. Especially that the mods of the default subs have the balls to do it

Big Tech companies are finally getting the names we thought dystopian megacorps would have
I still think it's hilarious that Facebook renamed to Meta, and anything they did with the "metaverse" was a huge failure. It's like they didn't learn their lesson from Second Life.

Why is the Node ecosystem so demanding?
Because 99% of Node projects are web related, and if something's vulnerable on the web it won't take long to be abused

Newag accused of deliberate train malfunctions for profit
After a two-month analysis, the hackers revealed that Newag intentionally interfered with the software of the trains, causing forced malfunctions to secure lucrative contracts for their repair. They immobilized trains by implementing logic that prevented them from moving if stationary for more than ten days. Additionally, some trains had a “safeguard” preventing them from moving from specific locations in Poland, including service halls of competing companies.
I hope they get sued into bankruptcy, this type of behavior is despicable

We have? JetBrains never has stopped offering them.
Who wouldn't want an experience tailored to their main language? I certainly favor PyCharm over Ultimate

Linux file system developer: we're severely under-resourced
Reply in thread
I mean, Microsoft and Apple have career pages stating exactly what is needed. Does Linux have something like this for volunteers? I think it's just very inaccessible to someone from the outside. Maybe start there, improve the recruitment of volunteers

Air pollution: Nearly everyone in Europe breathing bad air
"2x above WHO limits" means "within EU limits". WHO recommends 5 micrograms, which is pretty unrealistic considering the population density of urban areas today. Unless we fully move off CO2 based transportation

It's fair. Have you seen how swamped they get by tourists some days?

German power mix may get dirtier for 1st non-nuclear winter
On an annual basis, the roughly 8.1 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity closed this year has been more than offset by increases in generation capacity from solar and wind sites, data from think tank Ember shows.

Coding Addiction: How Programming Affects Your Brain
I once collaborated with an exceptionally talented programmer who seemed so engrossed in his addiction that he would invent challenges where there were none, presumably to make his work more engaging and bearable. However, this often led to incomplete projects because once the stimulating aspects were finished, he struggled to find the motivation to continue. Clearly, this behavior was extreme and detrimental.
I think a lot of devs can relate to that

Als Bayer, haltet einfach die Klappe. Die Entscheidung wurde schon vor Jahren getroffen mit dem mutwilligen Ignorieren der Energiewende (z.B. 10H). Und jetzt rumjammern, wenn die Konsequenzen deutlich werden. Ehrlicher wäre es, tatsächlich mal Initiativen vorzulegen, die das Ungleichgewicht aufarbeiten
