@nallwolf Hiya! Gearhead here.

A lot of manufacturers design CVT cars to shift similarly to automatic transmission vehicles because people expect familiar experiences from their cars.

So your CVT is pretending to be an automatic transmission, effectively. You lose some efficiency for the sake of familiarity and thus better sales.

Personally, I blame capitalism. :3

@literorrery @IrisKalmia @kelseyhusky SAME.

If software engineering had official regulated standards to adhere to, it might slow down development but at least we wouldn't have so many instances of "it compiles [and has unprotected access to private user data]? GREAT! Ship it!"

Compliance with SOX, PCI and EU privacy laws are as close as we've gotten to proper responsibility in that regard & it's nowhere near enough. Having the autonomous power to show-stop over security concerns'd be a GODSEND.

@IrisKalmia @literorrery The best I've found so far is Vivaldi, which is like Chrome if Chrome were more like KDE.

I don't like KDE, but I prefer the memory footprint they're aiming for, and it still supports Chrome extensions.

I've heard good things about Midori, but they frustratingly don't have an OS X port yet (despite their entire site design, imagery, and UI design being lifted directly from Apple products and sites).

@literorrery Yeah, all the mainstream browsers have taken massive turns for the worst lately.

I've been trying out other browser options... and I've got bad news for you.

I'm so stretch my jorts got jorts hi

@noiob Eeee! I love it when the lights start coming out :D

@Leucrotta Yeah, sometimes. Depends on who I'm talking to, though. The "Overton Window" for political discourse is incredibly variable right now.

@AdmiralBell@witches.town That's absolutely gorgeous. What a beautiful tribute. ;~;

@starkatt I was so upset by that narrative. Vikings weren't saints, but they sure as hell weren't nationalists.

He has no chance. He is far outnumbered and won't see the ambush until it's too late.
What will happen to him?
