Except that to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong) they still have non-closed loop emissions--no catalytic converter or EGR--which would mean a brand new Rotax 912 would emit more NOx, CO, and VOCs than my 20 year old Mazda gas engine car. I feel like it is my right to "rag" on something which doesn't have to follow the same rules as I do.
To be fair, my neighbors probably emit 10X the pollution running their backpack-mounted, gas-powered leaf blowers and open fire pits year round. I rag on them too, and display my rake in protest.
Really? Electronic ignition and fuel injection alone are advantageous enough, not to mention the ability of at least one Rotax engine to use true automotive gas (gasohol).
As the article points out, the writing was on the wall for leaded fuel decades ago. The GA industry killed itself by dragging ass on eliminating the need for it, abetted by the burdensome FAA certification process for any aviation advancements.
It may be too late to save GA. BasicMed was a big help, and the increased pace of STC approval has been a boon. But with the FAA derelict in its duty to protect airports (see the sellout of Santa Monica as an example) and corrupt local governments eager to destroy our public airports and sell their land to developers... the future looks grim indeed. Just as electric training aircraft, unleaded fuel, and less-polluting and more-efficient engines render the anti-aviation cabal's excuses moot.
Maybe I'm missing something about this one, then. How is detecting "me" Mastodon links on Web pages similar to discovering people who are online near you?
Or as that not what Nintendo's did? Anyway, thanks for any insight.
I guess that it finds people "near" to you in the sense that you visit their site.
An actual mobile app that worked like StreetPass that broadcast your Fediverse address via Bluetooth would be fun, except that it would hardly ever find anyone unless you are at a conference.
Indeed the name is a bit misleading if you go by the 3ds' streetpass, it's not what Nintendo did. I just had a few good memories with streetpass, so seeing the name again (even in a different context) brought me some joy :)
Spyware or malware or adware. The beyond-obnoxious badgering to log in, log in, LOG IN!!! with your "Microsoft account" to do ANYTHING renders the OS totally unacceptable in my house... and I regret replacing my parents' computers with new Windows machines plagued with that offensive behavior, along with crippling UI defects (some MS apps ignore the system-wide font-size setting, for example) and missing fundamental applications (like a competent E-mail program).
I was a software developer of large Windows-based systems for over a decade, before going to work for Apple. I regarded Windows as a sharp knife, and Mac OS as a child's safety scissors. Today, Windows is a depressing, hopeless mess and Mac OS is what I rely on daily to get stuff done. I hope rumors of Apple introducing touchscreen Macs are wrong. Doing so would require degrading the OS UI for a stupid, failed idea... leaving no good mainstream desktop OS.

The original pressing is a great example of how good pop music used to sound and how shitty it sounds today because of dynamic compression.
“3 a.m. Eternal” sounds huge, and doesn’t inflict pain when turned up LOUD.
I haven’t listened to it on streaming services, but most of their catalogs have been ruined by “remastering;” AKA crushing them into a wall of noise with dynamic compression to make them “louder.” It’s despicable.
Ugh, "Web 3.0". The years of "Web 2.0" stupidity were bad enough. People want to revive this ignorance? Then again, they keep churning out the asinine labels for "generations" of people.
In other news: Are we supposed to know what an "onsen" is?
A modern piston plane can get the equivalent of 30 MPG, and fly directly to its destination. So there's no need to rag on it.
