I can answer that as an Indian casually in the market for an EV. The infrastructure isn't really as good as western countries. Charging stations aren't easy to find outside of major highways, and they aren't as visible.

For intra-city users:

EVs are considerably more expensive than ICEs and India is a very price-sensitive market. The biggest successes for EVs here are Tata Nexons, for example. The ICE version starts at almost half the price of the EV.

Buyers will compare and run the numbers and unless you use it a lot, it can go either way. That combined with the iffy infrastructure is enough to make many people just go for ICE right now, in the hope that their next car will be an EV, when prices come down and tech is next-gen.

It is bound to happen. Prices are falling and more EVs are on the road, but it hasn't reached critical mass yet.

Also, BYDs are actually quite expensive here compared to home grown solutions. Check the Tata EV range out.

Another factor that you're overlooking is that India has a huge market of 2 wheelers, 3 wheelers and mini trucks. That's a space where EVs make a lot of sense. They pay for themselves the more you use them.

So in food delivery, logistics, courier services etc., there's already a very noticeable shift in motion, and that's promising.

You're confusing cause and effect. It's lossless because it cuts at keyframes and does not re-encode.

If it did what you're suggesting it wouldn't be lossless anymore.

Also, this feels like blogspam with a short summary and a link to the actual source. Original Verge article here.

That's an interesting example. Here in my city there was a case of a transport officer crashing his car into someone. He smelled of alcohol and was slurring and it was in the news cycle with great outrage and irony.

A few days later news broke that he had died of diabetes-related complications. Apparently the smell was not alcohol, it was ketones from him being hyperglycemic.

Going back to your "standards" statement, for an individual it would make sense not to get into a car this person drives. At the same time it makes sense for the court not to convict him until he is proven guilty. Both standards have their place and rightfully so.

There are workarounds:

Install magisk, add the app to the zygisk denylist before first run.

Install ~~universal safetynet fix and magisk hide props config (modules for magisk).~~

For some apps, you may have to install them in island so that they can't detect the magisk app.

Also sometimes it just literally does nothing. Push the play button and nothing at all happens.

That's a bug with the notification/lockscreen widget AFAICT. Pressing play on the main player window should work. This is the most serious bug I've found. It's quite a promising player otherwise.

I'm happy to know that Pocketcasts is OS now, that was my player of choice before trying to jump to Antennapod.

!comics@lemmy.ml has Heathcliff without Heathcliff.

I just use my in ear earphones, they work decently well and I'm getting them around anyway.

Ninja edit: Try the link here, worked for me even though it doesn't show up when I search: https://lemmy.world/post/2292776

it's more about curating some photos online that I can send someone a link to for fun on occasion.

I like this approach to social media.

I use mine to run pihole and an always-on syncthing client. Way more power-efficient than x86.

So many of our problems have clear solutions that better people than us have written down. We just need the voting public to:

1. Recognize the problem
2. Recognise the best solution

Democracy is only half-realized when there isn't proper education. This includes knowing our history and future, our arts and sciences.
