And you don't get annoyed when middle mouse click does not paste? The problem is that solving the consistency for a small strip at the top edge of the windows does not solve it everywhere. There should be solutions where it is solved everywhere, or perhaps people should realize that it is not as big of a problem as claimed.

All your complaints are about window interaction, which must be done by the window manager, so they would be consistent. What is needed is for the application to tell the window manager back "i did not use this click, you do what you want with it". Then your window actions could work for clicks in many locations in the window.

This article is really asking about using fuel to produce rotary motion. Sorry, that concept is DEAD.

There is a reasonable chance that moving pistons powered by burning fuel can generate electricity. Most common I have seen is a single piston that moves back and forth with combustion chambers on both ends. There is no swash plate or crankshaft or any way of directly powering wheels. Magnetism is used to generate electricity from this movement. This electricity is used to recharge the (otherwise) EV's batteries.

Any such engine only has to produce the average energy use of the car, and possibly a lot less. Cars are not accelerating all the time, so this can be MUCH smaller than a modern engine in even the smallest economy car. It runs all the time, even after you turn the car off, as long as the batteries are not full and there is not another energy source.

This would allow the batteries to be smaller and lighter. However it is going to produce CO2, adds complexity, and has it's own weight. But there could well be a tradeoff between using this and batteries. All current estimates are that the tradeoff are at 100% batteries, but it is reasonable to at least consider this.

Yes me too. Certainly the term "ICE" is used for immigration and customs enforcement far more often in headlines and should not have been used here.

"Internal combustion" is used to distinguish from "external combustion" (ie steam engines). Unless this was an argument about whether cars should use internal or external combustion, the term should not have been used in the headline.

"ICE" seems to have become popular due to the pun of "ICEing" somebody by parking your fuel-using vehicle in the way of them. That's funny but no reason to misuse the term.

If the Wayland developers had the slightest brains, they could have made it so clicking on any area that the application wants can drag the window and you would not have to search for the empty part of the titlebar.

This is called DON'T RAISE ON CLICK. It was figured out in X11 (one of the changes from X10).

Not just Wayland, Gnome developers also are bent on making sure overlapping windows and point-to-type is impossible. Witness how Gnome has buried the WM control to turn off raise on click and made sure things like applications raising their own windows are broken (for no reason what so-ever as there is no click) if you turn this option on. I do not have an explanation except that this is how Windows works (except Windows has worked with it for some time and has added kludges so that drag & drop can be done, at least).

Making the close button do something else, such as minimize, is totally possible (and all too often done) with X. It's not a Wayland only thing.

Personally I have NEVER EVER seen anybody "confused" because their title bars were different colors. Any such "confusion" would also apply to all the widgets *in* the window, which X allows to be completely different between applications. 90% of ICCCM is working around SSD to get the benefits of CSD.

Locked windows are handled with a timeout after which the server just moves/raise/lowers and even kills it (popup window to kill an unresponsive application is a feature of X as well).

There are a zillion problems with Wayland but this is not it.

Did you have the ability to compare the seat selection to another airline before you bought your ticket?

There needs to be the ability to vote for more than 1 candidate. With that a third party can actually work, as somebody can vote for them without "throwing away their vote" since they can still vote for the majority party. This is only going to help moderates as they need to pick up enough voters from BOTH parties, on the assumption that everybody will also vote for their side's preferred (and extreme) candidate.

The whole point of alternative voting systems is to choose MODERATES. It is to fight exactly what you are describing. Ranked choice (or approval voting which is better but less popular) plus a requirement that electors be proportionally represented to match the percentage of votes in their state, would make a huge difference.

For a large parliament you certainly will get a bunch of nazis and communists but a huge majority will be moderates. Currently the "right wing party is winning" but if you examine them it is hard to tell them from the "mainstream left wing party" and they often join with each other to get a majority.

No you really are not seeing it. The Little Mermaid would have been made no matter what. The problem is they really didn't care what script or anything else they used. Somebody did probably say "let's make it woke" and that was the deciding factor. But it would have been bad even if somebody said "I know, to be different, let's make it non-woke".

Your argument would work better if you didn't make up statments. What you are calling "alternative energy" is actually called "renewable energy", for precisely the reason you state.

I really doubt the amount of CO2 leaked from Nuclear reactor cooling systems is any amount to be concerned about. Also CO2 coolant is used in lots of other things too. Also suspect the source of that CO2 would have just leaked it directly into the atmosphere if nobody had bought it.

There are all kinds of problems with every power source, but making up nonsense does not help any arguments.

Say what you will about DeSantis but he at least is doing what he says. Making it illegal to hire illegal immigrants is EXACTLY the right thing to do if you actually want to reduce illegal immigration.

Unfortunately most Republicans just lie, they know that businesses are relying on cheap labor, so they never prosecute businesses and instead concentrating on making illegal immigrant's life as painful as possible (as long as they don't actually leave), and occasionally raid the businesses, in order to drive down the wage. Democrats also like cheap labor but seem more interested in having the government subsidize it.

I don't think that is going to work. The necessary mechanism so that the battery can be removed and replaced in a short amount of time will be expensive and heavy. And as a driver I certainly would be upset if some ripoff place replaced the good battery I had with a crap one.

That has some problems with the size of the reactor. There are also some difficulties with siting.

Advertisers will hate that as people will realize they are paying for ads.
