If the current Reddit Enhancement Suite workaround for the horrible UI stops working, I'll just stop using it. Outside of small communities like small city subs and subs like /r/re…

Works for me with Firefox on android and ublock origin.

>What does the German Green Party say in their own political platform today about the use of thermal power plants? Doesn't matter, at least in Germany. Maybe it's different in othe…

I recently wrote a reply to someone else with the same argument about the German greens, which I'll recycle here: "It's bad enough that nuclear proponents ignore the massive cost o…

Does he have a saltwater aquarium, or any other hobby that can make use of it? If not, I can highly recommend that he get into it, if he's into that kind of overkill :)

As we are supposed to strongman other commenters arguments here, I'd say they are not posting to produce a narrative, but rather that they have allowed themselves to believe that t…

Why does this obvious falsehood get repeated so much on hn Everyone can look up what the CDU did, it's not like they did it in secret. It's bad enough that nuclear proponents ignor…

Reference for today's lucky 10.000: https://xkcd.com/1897/

Why do so many otherwise seemingly rational people pretend that nuclear is the answer to our energy needs? It doesn't make sense economically, it's just wishful thinking. The only …

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/amazonbrandfi... The original is available on Firefox. The dev has even replied on the current top comment, if you want to check it o…

Me neither. I added clearflow on gboard for English (US), but it didn't give me the same option for German.

That's what happens when you ignore critical infrastructure for three decades. Of course, if the government were to correct the mistakes of the past, it would get worse for another…

You can look at the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whEIvsU4ft0

I can give a recommendation for /r/fountainpenpals, if you're into fountain pens. And if not, check out/r/fountainpens or the fountainpennetwork forum and get into it, it's fun and…

There's a workaround for this problem on PC, just in case you're not aware of it. Just press "2" or "3" to skip forward to 20 or 30 percent, which just usually long enough for the …

I clicked the first link, expecting something akin to cycleball [0], and was rather surprised by the fact that it was so different from that. We really should have an ocho channel …

>German anti-nuclear "greens" destroying the country's economy by disabling green power generation will go down in history as one of the worst political blunders in this century, T…

Wouldn't that be rather inefficient, from a resource perspective?

I've long disliked all the "nudge" hype that was prevalent 10 years ago, but what really sent me over the edge was the "if books could kill" podcast episode about it [0] It's incre…

I agree with you, but as to your addendum: Niche hobbyist forums are still safe, for now. There's just not enough commercial interest in petroleum lantern restoration to make it wo…

That assumption is only true if there is no manipulation of likes. I believe that the presence of bot farms has been extensively documented by now, which should disprove the useful…

Forums. Budgetlightforum, geekhack, backpackinglight, fountainpennetwork for flashlights, keyboards hiking gear and fountain pens, for example. The first two even organise group bu…

Some of these things are genius if you create overcomplicated marble runs, like https://karakurist.jp/?p=2196 A bit too annoying to build with wood, but if you're into 3D printing …

It's incredible that about 80% of people in this thread seem to be commenting without having looked at the website. In defense of Deutsche Bahn, countries with comparable infrastru…

It's rather off-topic, but the linked blog is by the guy who made .kkrieger, the tiny first-person shooter (only 96kB) in the early 2000s. Though the website for it is now gone, as…
