I prefer NewPipe/Tubular so much that I don't even use my desktop for YouTube anymore.

The amount of people upset with the game's direction has somewhat increased after 1.9's combat changes and markedly increased after 1.19 was a huge disappointment. No real competitor has emerged, but the amount of people disgruntled with the game has never been higher.

Servo, Basilisk and Ladybird make me very optimistic about the future of web browsers. I'm glad to see that people are working on alternatives divorced from Mozilla, as it seems they don't care anymore.

As a Linux user, Civ 6 post launch support made me swear off of buying a 2k game ever again. Linux users got an objectively worse version of the game, and the fact they couldn't be bothered to add the 2k account exclusive leader to the Linux version shows they really don't care about customer loyalty. Rumors also say this game won't support mods, which is insane, as mods made Civ 6 playable with an actually functional UI. It's a shame, as I love the Civ series.

Hero shooters rely on appealing memorable designs, compare the characters in this game with any of it's competitors (TF2, Overwatch, Marvel Rivals) and it's obvious why it failed. That combined with questionable allocation of dev time (why put so much work into the planet info and story cutscenes?), poor map design, and a $40 asking price ensured it would flop.

openQA from SUSE is proof that advanced automation tools can be extremely useful to developers. It would not be surprising if "AI" hardware and software is used for this and things like it in the future.

Also check out NuSalt, it's a salt substitute that is pure potassium. Way cheaper than supplements, my local grocery store sells a container for under $2.

The government's target is for nuclear to produce a 5% share of the national generation mix by 2035.

I appreciate that the government is not going into this with unreasonable expectations. 5% is a modest and achievable goal.

The proposed first nuclear power plant would be a large reactor but there are also options for using small modular reactors to replace retiring coal plants in the years to come.

Nice, it seems a combination of larger and smaller reactors is the way forward.

I am concerned to see what would happen if the referendum fails. It seems the government is assuming it will pass.
