This is Stallman-esk far removed from reality.

I get the argument (also I think it nonsense) but what will rewriting a sites Javascript do about the server side? That would still be non-free. Or is the argument here that the backend and the API is not important because it's only generating HTML/Json/whatever and that's only "data" so you don't care about it. If so, I would turn that argument around and argue that the non-free Javascript is only an extension of the server side and is only generating data - the DOM.

I have a 3 year old. Daycares have been closed (except for parents working in critical infrastructure) for a while now (two months? I have honestly lost track).

Today we got an email from our daycare that we can send him back in at the 1th of March. We were politely asked to not send him if we don't need to and we will do exactly that. But I am nearly certain we will be the one of very few parents that actually do that.

I don't want to risk getting him or us sick and I am nearly certain that we will lock down again in a few weeks. What is the point of this "opening up"? I can already see the cases rising...the R value is now again over 1.

Oh well...I really no longer care. My immediate circle of friend and parents are all very careful. My wife and I have solid work from home jobs and our son seems happy enough staying at home as well. I will just wait it out and ignore the general media like I have been doing...the rest of the world can honestly do whatever the fuck they want.

Because the well-to-wheel efficiency of internal combustion engines isn't that good to begin with. Add lossy synthesation and it gets even worse.

If we had unlimited, clean power (hello fusion!) it might be viable.

I mean...yes, it could happen like it is outlined in the article. But the easy (and imho proper way to do it completely avoids it: Don't rely on the User-Agent (like: at all) and do proper feature detection client side where you probably need it anyway. This way you also don't have the problem of having to maintain the list of browsers to features.

5€ per day is 150€ a month. I think that this is reasonable but somewhat on the low side.

My family of 3 spends around 100 to 130 Euros per week on groceries. We don't really are trying to save on groceries and usually buy what we want. We eat not much meat and usually cook fresh instead of using convenience food. We try to buy medium to high quality, local and seasonal food. So it's a tad more than 150€ per person but not that much.
