GissaMittJobb, to europe in London’s latest effort to clear bad air is contested but necessary: The scheme obliges drivers of the most polluting vehicles inside the ultra-low emission zones to pay £12.50 ($16) a day.

Given that money from congestion taxes most often go to fund public transportation, which poorer people use to a larger extent, this is not a law against the poor.

GissaMittJobb, to technology in What is your internet service plan?

Fiber, 250mbps/250mbps. A speed test I just ran gave me 190mbps/160mbps, which I consider to be a fair result. For this I pay the equivalent of $12/month.

GissaMittJobb, (edited ) to worldnews in Spotify raises premium subscription price for millions

Spotify has never paid a dividend, and a quick search points to that they have done a stock buyback once. I think it’s quite safe to say that most of the money does not go to the shareholders.

Most of the money goes to the rights holders, which incidentally happen to be large shareholders in Spotify, but this claim is disingenious.

GissaMittJobb, to asklemmy in People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat?

It’s important to remember that humidity plays a huge role when it comes to managing thermal comfort, and the desert is a very dry place. Advice that is applicable to the desert might not apply in other places with high temperature/high humidity.

I don’t know whether drinking hot tea actually helps to beat the heat, but speculating a bit on it, we might guess that hot tea would promote sweating, which is highly effective for reducing body temperature in dry contexts, but less so in humid ones. The tea is also warmer than your body temperature if it is to be considered warm, and as such you will get hotter without getting any relief from the sweating, making drinking hot tea in a hot/humid scenario counterproductive if these assumptions are correct.

Just something to keep in mind.

GissaMittJobb, to memes in It just gives you extra shame.

The concept of servings should just be removed, and be replaced with a standard Nutrients per 100g (or whatever you Americans feel is equivalent. Three ounces or something, I don’t know). We do nutrients per 100g in Sweden, and it’s far better.

GissaMittJobb, to worldnews in Swedish data protection authority rules against the use of Google Analytics

*a former, sunset version of Google Analytics

GissaMittJobb, to coffee in Tetsu Kasuya's God Recipe for the Switch

Does the Switch fit into the standard v60-decanter, or is trying to put those together a fools errand?

GissaMittJobb, to worldnews in Climate nears point of no return as land, sea temperatures break records, experts say

Yeah, we’re boned.

GissaMittJobb, to memes in Silent anger*

Why? Webp is better than both jpeg and png.

GissaMittJobb, to memes in Android compatibility is insane!

That’s probably because the Play Store has policies on what apps need to do to keep being downloadable - if you acquire an APK, there’s a really good chance that it might still be installable.
