"Block The Rich" is like an ad-blocker, but for obscenely wealthy people with overinflated egos.

I also have several projects where I’m the only user, but I wouldn’t let that stop me from adding features for fun and exercise.

It’s not for me though. But I want to stress it’s not because I dislike it, but I find that seeing something blurred almost highlights something that’s gonna annoy me is here. Otherwise my brain would just kinda blank it. Good job tho, and I hope folks here are more interested.

Is it me, or the hive mind mentality has come over here as well?

I’ve only skimmed your comments, but I think a factor is also that a lot of them are really hard to read.

Examples I see are weird sentence structure, the lack of paragraphs for longer messages, the lack of capitalisation, and rather odd/hyperbolic use of words (writing in the same way you’d speak?). This “style” just gets interpreted as “noise” when I’m reading it, which will get downvoted as it doesn’t contribute.

English isn’t my first language either (it’s not even my second or third!) so I understand it’s very hard to get these things right. But without sufficient clarity you will get downvotes, as it just comes off as noise.

Bare 20 % ønsker vindkraft på land, kun 2 / 79 ordførere sier ja til vindkraft i sin kommune. (artikkel i innlegg)

Etter å ha bodd flere steder i utlandet vil jeg si at det egentlig er litt typisk norsk å være imot endringer til de endelig allerede har skjedd.

Har heller ikke hjulpet at mye av utbygningen har vært syret i negativ pressedekning (samer som har blitt snytt, stakkarslige boomers som mister utsikten sin, kommuner som har snudd, penger som forlater landet, og gjentatte mislykkede havvindsprosjekter).

Samt at vi har sett at salg av energi generelt sett ikke har nyttet befolkningen direkte men nyttet staten og energispekulatører, slik vi merket med energiprisene. Så jeg har hørt mange som tror at dette vil bare øke prisene til vanlige folk.

Jeg mener dette er uhyre mer nyansert, men jeg kan forstå at mer egoistiske individer (aka mesteparten av befolkningen i mitt syn) egentlig bare ser nedsider og ingenting som gavner dem direkte.

Confusing...

Even then it’s still a quick mistake to make. If I’m not paying attention I could easily make a mistake like this, because I’m used to reading things left to right.

UK to retain EU safety mark in latest Brexit climbdown

I’m having trouble finding a government source on this, as it would be useful for us to know if we need the UKCA mark or not after all on our export products.

But I’m frankly not surprised, there’s so many regulatory things regarding the UK that’s just in limbo, making it really annoying for us to actually follow the rules. Our company has more than once considered just pulling out of that market.
