  • But it should be.

    Better technology and more storage should never excuse a lack of optimization.

    I’m not up to speed on the optimization levels of mobile Web browsers, but these days you rarely see properly optimized consumer software. Games and websites tend to be the worst offenders, and many mobile apps appear 10x the size you would expect them to be.



  • You tell us.

    Using PWA you’ll retain all the features and nice-to-haves of the app, while also preventing it from doing any weird magic to your files in the background. Sharing files from your main profile to your private profile is also as easy as opening the file in your main profiles file browser and clicking “share”.

    What is your threat/privacy level? How far are you willing to go, and what/how much is it that you want to keep private?

    I’m clearly too tired to make any sense. Please have a nice evening.





  • Electric cars are indeed much worse for the climate at production time than combustion cars likely will be throughout their entire lifetime.

    But this matters little, as the electric car is not made to be the perfect alternative, it is instead made to be the “weird in between solution” that we need to bring as many devices as possible to use a common power source and get people acquainted with the concept, before moving to the actual solution.

    The next steps will be better battery technology because, let’s face it, lithium gel batteries suck, and proper power sources.

    In the end, I guess it’s kind of a “chicken and egg” situation.



  • Wanted to be an inventor since I can remember, kinda like George Gearloose.

    Managed to set fire to my dad’s Lego train by bypassing the controller and sticking the rails directly into the wall socket at age 4. Told ya fuckers that the cable for the radio matched the cable for the rails! But would you listen? Oooh no, you wouldn’t. Had to wait all the loooong time for mom to go to the toilet to try out my idea. And yes, I did cry a lot afterwards.

    Currently I’m an engineer on master level working with startups, but haven’t gotten around to get a doctors/PHD yet, if I ever choose to attempt one.

    Now, my sister was different, didn’t have any real idea what she wanted to do, probably something with art? So back when I just started learning about C I made a simple project with her, where I did the programming, and she decided on the user interface and did some simple copy pasting. Contrary to me, she very much likes making and solving patterns, such as sodoku, and since has become a frontend engineer, combining work with people, arts and design, and programming.

    What I’m trying to say is, that you might find your interests reflected in unlikely places. It can be hard to find them, but keep looking until you find something that catches your fancy. And don’t expect this choice to always be sunny and fun. Even those who have their work laid out for them at birth struggle and question themselves every now and again. :)
