Do you have a source for that 1 million in profit? I did find the following article that said their turnover in 23 was €36m but I can’t see a profit figure.
Here’s the article I found: https://www.wiwo.de/technologie/digitale-welt/komoot-wander-app-wird-verkauft-mitarbeiter-geschockt/100115256.html
Regardless of that though, I’m still concerned for its future. I moved all my routes to strava as a precaution.
I’d be careful with komoot. They’ve been operating at a pretty big loss and they were just bought out by a company that has a tendency to rinse a products features for money until everyone leaves. They’ll then sell it on having (in their eyes) hopefully made a profit.
Maybe this will be different, but I doubt it.
I do this on my intranet with home assistant, looks like I flew just under the radar
Just wanted to say I’m loving these posts, thanks for writing them
I remember that the foot and mouth outbreak in the UK was a lab accident, procedure failed and a lot of bovine were culled and some people died in truly horific ways.
I don’t understand why it’s so political to say that it’s likely that covid may have had a similar start. It happens, it’s terrible, it’s not helpful when you’re directly fighting it to focus your energy on blame but if this was a lab leak, shouldn’t we now be focused on tightening regulations on bio-experimentaion in order to reduce the risk of this occurring again? Global treaties on how to approach such research, share procedure to keep everyone safe.
Yeah I reflected on that after I posted it, maybe it just dumped all the headers to the logs
Yeah, I wonder why any developer thought logging either the session cookie itself was a good idea. I guess they could decode it and figure out which user was having an issue? Still bizzare
Would using rust have prevented this issue?
I thoroughly enjoyed black mesa but I don’t think it improved the game. I think it’s a pretty unbalanced experience with a lot of the original atmosphere replaced with pretty textures. I also think the xen levels were extremely unfaithful to the original and devoid of a lot of the original meaning, but again visually stunning.
That’s an extremely bad faith interpretation of what I said. It’s the exact opposite of what I’m saying, and I’m unsure if this is an elaborate troll/gotcha, but I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant no ill-will.
My entire point is that focusing on the symptom, in this case the the rioting and the racism, is short sighted and is prone to create reactionary takes that dismiss the concerns that lie beneath. That dismissal will only further antagonize and drive people further towards populist movements, and I don’t think that’s the smart thing to do. We should not be driving people towards these movements, but rather offering them a tangible and real way to alleviate the root cause of their discontent, catch it before a populist preys upon it.

I’d advocate for getting one. Last year 70% of my gaming was on the deck, it really has shifted my attitude towards gaming.
I think it’s a mistake to handwave general anger and discontent from citizens and to put the entire blame on the symptom.
Where are all the far right groups being organised? Is it in the wealthier areas where people are able to live? Or is it in the regions that are being hardest hit by austerity? Right wing groups latch onto anger that people have due to their quality of live deteriorating. They divert the anger towards their own populist agenda, and people will fall for it as it feels tangible and achievable, even if it won’t do a god damn thing. Crumbling infrastructure? Must be the migrants who are also using that infrastructure. Oh the building was sold off to a foreign investment firm? Oh the employees who maintained that infrastructure are now paying exorbitant rates for housing? Nah, that’s far too complex of a problem to tackle.
Wealth inequality will continue to grow, and the government isn’t doing anything to truly tackle it. To think that anti-immigration sentiment exists entirely in a vacuum is naive and I think extremely dangerous, as you risk alienating those who are being hit hardest by this inequality. This will only get worse, and you can’t bury your head in the sand forever.
Ok, a half serious suggestion.

The only truly valuable thing is the friendships and connections they make. But I also don’t know much about this community other than a very quick glance
Lamenting the raising of prices is absolutely fair, but every industry goes through this. I cycle a lot, and there’s a strong base of people that are deeply upset at the cost of the bikes the pros are using. It used to be that almost anyone could buy the model bike that won the Tour de France, where they’d go for £1,200-1,500, full spec and all. Now Pogačar’s Colnago V4Rs cost $8,215 for the base model, likely closer to $12,000 for a fully spec’d version. I just think that this is happening everywhere as things get more and more optimized. You have to dig deeper and deeper to eek out those gains.
Think of the sheer amount of time, effort, and hardware that goes into AI features and such. Upscaling and frame generation need a lot of data to be processed to make it viable, and the cost of the cards will have to offset this research cost.
The only thing that maybe leans towards it being somewhat greed driven was the audio edits they made in their presentation, but again, I still just don’t think that’s enough to say “this is greed” or not. Is selling at a profit at all “greedy”?
I can’t find anything about the cost for them to produce each unit, ya got some inside info you wanna share?
Yeah, the Toro Rosso livery was the only interesting thing to come out of the entire show
There was, but now I’m getting older and more tired
I’ve wondered this for a while, is a car dependant society creating a general senae of selfishness?
Like if you walk everywhere, I feel your behaviour will be rounded out via interactions with others, but in a car you’re removed from setting the human effect your actions have, it allows you to detach your humanity because it happens outside your cage, you’re only concerned for what’s happening inside thr cage.
Not everyone obviously, cycling around the overwhelming majority of drivers are all good, but as a general trend I do wonder
Additionally the officer that was killed, Larry Ray Henderson Jr, was a retired deputy who was helping direct traffic at the university of Cincinnati. He was just trying to be part of his community and help out.
