Every time I hear, "just one more lane," this video starts playing in my head.

IMHO, he's always been "Left of Center (for an American)" or maybe neo-Liberal. I would never consider him a Progressive. Now, as we're seeing more progressive lawmakers and some progressive policies being spotlit, the Overton Window is expanding, and he's staying right where he's always been.

That's a pretty good answer. I knew Mozilla had bought it, and were operating it as an independent subsidiary. I didn't know they promised to open-source it over 7 years ago.

Has Mozilla done sometime to deserve this skepticism? They were founded on open-source and AFAIK have continued to support open-source. Mozilla is far from a perfect organization, but if this project was a success I think it would be out of character for them to keep it closed-source.

That's not the article's fault. I'm almost certain Ukraine is going to keep those numbers close to the chest for OPSEC.

That doesn't line up with my experience. Canada banned single-use bags in 2023, and I notice a lot less reusable bags discarded on the street than the single-use ones before the ban.

I'd say at least half if those would get them sued for Trademark infringement. Once again, this is AI plagairising, but this time it's with obviously trademarked names.

As others have pointed out, even that won't stop them. These posts are over a decade old!

I was just trying to refute your assertion that, "Trade ins and selling old phones doesn’t really reduce e-waste." Obviously some used phones are going to be bought by people who need a replacement, and if a used phone wasn't an option, they'd buy new.

I don't know why you are soo hostile. Are you okay?

Your new scenario is still supply constrained. No one gets a new phone for 2 out of 3 years.

Those aren't unpurchased new phones though. As you point out, they're discontinued, discounted and sold.

I was only trying to refute that, "Trade ins and selling old phones doesn’t really reduce e-waste." I'm the same as you, buying used phones, and if I didn't have that option I would be buying new phones instead.
