  • Duckduckgo. I stpped using google for the privacy stuff but I stayed because of the language switch.

    I don’t know if I tweaked a setting to achieve it, but I have a language switch below the search bar. Google always showed me german results when searching for something english and the other wy around, so I love this feature. Search results are good enough for me, so duckduckgo it is.




  • Sure, electric cars have higher emission in production, but that is not the main issue (in my opinion). The break even point compared to usual cars can be reached. The real issue is that electric vehicles are still too expensive for most people and infrastructure is lacking.

    And synthetic fuels are a dangerous notion. They have a terrible efficiency (primary source to kinetic energy), so they will be way more expensive than gas. They are only an option for cars that for some (aesthetic or esoteric) reason must use combustion and for Porsche users, cost is not an issue, just as for Formula One. The problem is that not banning synthetic fuels opens a way for combustion engines to stay on the streets, and when the transition from normal to synthetic fuels is not made (because it will economically not be possible) we will still have gas and unchanged C02 emissions.
