Tried looking that up but can't really find anything, what is the controversy there?

There's a Kurzgezagt animated version of it as well

Skimmed through the article quickly and yeah that's what I interpret as well, this is just NFC Payment, and has been a thing on Android devices for years already.

Aaah! The thought did strike me that maybe it could be Icelandic or Finnish, i know you guys up in Iceland in particular are really dedicated to inventing new native words for absolutely everything, and never using loan words

Not really important, as the idea is cool, but regardless; as a Nordic, i can't think of a single word we use for computer that would translate to number witch 🤔

Someone gotta point it out; Dudes a genuinely real bard, and he's so damn charismatic that you didn't even notice he's playing flute on a drumstick

What do you mean, "for a while"? This song is going to live rent free in your head for the rest of your life

Had to read this comment three times because I didn't see "username" and couldn't figure out what I was missing.

"Christianity's theme song? So popular that it gets stuck in your head? Wtf is going on?"

Where is the TLDR bot at? Reading that article was like reading something from a highschooler with a word count requirement on his homework

There are tons of politicians out there that want to do more. Hardcore green parties, climate advocates, straight up activists. They have been active for years and years.

Nobody votes for them. On the contrary, people are voting increasingly for the exact opposite.

And I mean, why wouldn't they? The climate disaster snowball is so goddamn big now that the actions needed to take to slow it down is growing increasingly extreme. And as the actions grow more extreme, the immediate impact on personal comfort convenience and quality of life grows. Why would anyone vote for something that objectively makes your life worse?

So instead of voting for that, people vote for the status quo. Maybe for those who commit to some token greenwashing at best. Maybe it won't be so bad, they say. Maybe it'll only impact brown people somewhere. Maybe it's not even real to begin with.

And so the snowball grows, the scale of the reactions needed to stop it grow with it, and the cycle perpetuates. As it has for the last several decades.

On a similar note, robot vacuum. It cleans quite nicely, is surprisingly reliable, and as a bonus you keep the floor less cluttered to make sure it doesn't run into stuff it shouldn't.

Exactly. Hence me comparing it to beef instead of Tuna.
