If the oobjective itself is easy to measure, "Increase purchases through Alexa’s voice interface" for example, then that is the the key result. Objectives need to be abstract compl…

Depending what value means... I think that shorts do not bring any value, just mindless filler. In my books that has no value. Some might disagree.

It's really good that some are ready to do what is right instead of just bending over.

Android (14) still supports it, it's in Settings > System > Navigation mode (on Pixel devices, different manufacturers might put it in other menus). I still use it and will keep us…

I wonder... It's absolutely clear that many hate their long commute. Do they, at some point, start to wonder what went so wrong that many (most?) have such an awfully long commute?…

Yes, Mozilla would exist if their deal with Google would end.

Actually, the index went up last year. So 0 consecutive years of downwards trend.

"has been going downwards for 15 consecutive years" that was the claim. It's not been going down for 15 consecutive years as there has been ups and downs during the past 15 years. …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index shows that average democracy index has not been going downwards for 15 consecutive years.

The very same limitations mentioned in the directive are in effect also in Germany. Bicycles with assistive motors up to 0.25 (nominal) kW and max assistive speed of 25km/h are eff…

Directive 2002/24/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council ( https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL... ) states: "cycles with pedal assistance which a…

I use Routa from Suomi Tyres. Those are studded winter tyres. I guess Schwalbe Marathon Winter Plus is a popular choice in the category.

1) In order to get more people on bikes in most of the world, we either need massive policy changes and infrastructure rework (like much of Netherland has been doing since about 19…

Because in Europe ebikes are bikes with assistive motor, so you need to pedal and the motor just assists. So there is no throttle. And pedaling, even when it is easy, is an activit…

11 months ago I bought myself an ebike and since then that's pretty much the only way I commute. It's 12.5km from home to office, so 25km per day, about 75% of the time (25% remote…

Same for me. Last night old.reddit.com/.compact was working just fine, not anymore. Redirects to non-.compact.

Apps don't support older OS versions -> Nobody uses old OS -> No point supporting old OS as nobody uses those -> Apps don't support older OS versions -> ...

Yeah, I know. 9 days ago in this forum I posted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34103132 EDIT: I think it is pretty obvious that we are not talking about servers and pat…

SteamDeck is not desktop device, it's pretty much single usecase machine. It is for gaming and that's how most use it. And there is no need to take bad samples and anecdotes on how…

At least for me "year of Linux on the desktop" is not about "can Linux be used on desktop" because of course it is possible. For me it means Linux being a popular choice on the des…

Milk production might not start at all, it might start but ends unless used.

I have no idea what victory you are talking about. Linux dominates roughly everything, except desktop. You can go argue about your own things somewhere else. EDIT: runs -> dominate…

iOS is not majority, not even close, Android dominates the smartphone market. Android runs on Linux, not GNU/Linux, but definitely Linux.

Year of the Linux on the desktop might never come, but we do have Linux on everything else. Servers have been mostly Linux since at least -00, smartphones have been mostly Linux si…
