<p>I'm using Firefox mobile for many years exclusively (since chrome forced some stupid feature on me, I think it was tab groups which I hated and couldn't turn off. And of course no ubo). Could be a bit faster probably? Otherwise don't see any issues.</p>

<p>I'm a dev and use windows (sadly have to), android and linux, and would never use edge, because why? when it randomly opens because of a wrong file association or whatnot, I only see a bucket of ms nags and dark patterns. It's disgusting.<p>Firefox allows me to share stuff across devices, block anything I want to and does not get in my way.</p>

<p>> How could it not be.<p>Plenty of ways. That's what we have science for. For one, why choose 19th century projects when we did millenia of terraforming, mostly by doing away with forrests and wetlands, but also planting artifical forrests over dry sand areas (see the Cap Ferret fire) etc. etc.<p>but also, the heatwaves of this summer mostly consist of hot air from Sahara being driven to Europe and staying there.<p>> that the EU is doing to drive tens of millions of more people into Europe<p>what</p>

<p>"I don't accept" is not an answer though. When the EU can create CBAM, so can (and should) the US and anyone else. That way we don't have to talk about moral responsibility and can progress to adequate international carbon pricing.</p>

<p>The rainfall deficit and soil dryness is already a year-round problem in our region, this summer is just a very extreme version of that. I am reasonably sure it will get worse even without the potential AMOC collapse.</p>

<p>Fastest acceleration, possibly, yes. But if another region's climate is for example already close to deadly wet bulb temperature during a large part of the year and only a small change puts them over the threshold, then that regions is more at risk than the EU.</p>

I'm actually surprised EU got as far as it got here, pretty sure they're burning a lot of political capital because of environmental regulations.<p>Exactly. But it's hard to quantify how much of that hatred is genuine and how much of it is fanned and amplified by fossil interests and reckless politicians. My guess is that around 80% of it is manufactured.</p>

<p>The parent wrote: "We are actually in the worst place, given realtive population density.". So I reacted to that.<p>The climate change impact is worse in South Asia AND their population density is much higher. It means many more people are and will be impacted by it there than here in Central Europe.</p>

<p>No we are not in the worst place given relative population density. Look at South & Southeast Asia very carefully - there are countries like Bangladesh with pop. of 177 million in an area of double the Czech Republic (pop. 10 million). They have it much worse than us.<p>> we join Canadian weather with English-level insulation<p>Having lived both in England and here in Slovakia, we are much much better equipped to survive long spells with -10 with occasional dips far below that in lowlands (and obviously our mountainous regions are even better equipped). What we can't deal with yet is the heat and drought like this summer.<p>> using our fierce financial pressures to change the world<p>We are already doing that using for example CBAM. We just have to continue.</p>

<p>This is an interesting take because for example the EU car fleet emmission rules, fuel taxes, additional member state polluting car taxes etc. do exactly that. Otherwise ICE cars in the EU would be far far cheaper and the EV marketshare would be much lower.<p>Yeah the issue is "minimally inconveniencing 5% of the population", but it's not any 5%, it's the powerful 5% who resist the change using any means necessary including producing mass propaganda and steering the votes to the nazi parties which promise to revert to the old ways and stop any progress on the climate front.</p>

<p>> Nina in the sourcing department skipped the compliance paperwork.<p>Well the interior ministry didn't really demand one (yes really) but the opposition people have read the documentation for the cameras and the hash of the supplied software was exactly the same as the hash for the russian simicon camera.</p>

<p>Perhaps. What actually happened is that we have a demented interior minister in a unbelievably corrupt but also pro-russian government. So it's really anybodys guess if it's just pure corruption (the interior ministry wanting to buy some traffic cameras and someone bribing to get the contract while buying the cheapest they could find which were these russian ones) or indeed some covert russian operation (the responsible minister wouldn't know about it, he's too dumb for that, but there might be other government people who did know). In any case in a functioning state this would end up with the minister leaving his post at least. Not in Slovakia.</p>

<p>Russians very much do touch civilians, please don't spread lies of these mass murderers.<p>Aside of what is happening on the frontlines and behind them, they target civilians in towns and cities in all of Ukraine with drones and rockets daily.<p>Just from today we have some examples:<p>A russian drone targeting a civilian train:
<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mtrcbnfgbk23" rel="nofollow">https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mtr...</a><p>A russia drone targetting a cyclist and bragging about it:
<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mtraljvogc23" rel="nofollow">https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mtr...</a><p>And a few days ago, a targetted attack on a shoppping mall in Kryvyi Rih, 16 dead and scores of missing and injured:
<a href="https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mtr7alelxk23" rel="nofollow">https://bsky.app/profile/wartranslated.bsky.social/post/3mtr...</a><p>Moreover a genocide is the stated objective from beforoe the war - according to the chief mass murderer, Ukrainian nation does not exist and so the state must be destroyed.</p>
