  • Because of the energy pricing system the price of energy at a given time depends on the price of the most expensive component which is gas. So if any gas gets used at a given time then all of the energy produced at that time is priced at the same rate. The government have said that this system will be changed.
  • Much of our energy is produced in Scotland but consumed in the south east. Expensive infrastructure is needed to move the electricity to where it is needed. What is worse this system won't get better over time because there is no incentive for industry to set up close to the electricity source.
  • The UK has a few problems in general with building infrastructure making it expensive. These jobs are often contracted out instead of done in house by the government which can inflate costs. Additionally the planning system can be difficult to work with in the UK as residents have more power to stop infrastructure projects than in other countries.

on Dioxus version 0.7.0 released · c/rust · 1 pts · 278d

Look at how many actual projects are using dioxus vs leptos. I believe some. Of the projects listed on the dioxis website are no longer maintained.

GitHub stars can be bought very easily.

Before the recs I just want to shout out libro.FM - they sell audiobooks and donate half of the profits to independent book stores.

Classic sci fi:

  • The dispossessed - also the left hand of darkness (which is meant to be good buy Inhavent read)
  • Foundation series
  • permutation city

I think the more modern sci fi is good too so I will give you some recommendations anyway:

  • Project Hail Mary - mentioned by other commenters, really good
  • Children of time - first and best of a series, really good
  • Expanse - series of books set in the near future, hard sci fi and a bit of space opera
  • Red rising - a space opera a bit like a fantasy book in a sci fi setting
  • Murderbot - series with a bit more more comed, very entertaining and easy to get into

From what I remember they were using GNOME for pop os with some custom addons they had made (for example a tiling addon). GNOME updates will sometimes break addons and I think the pop os people got tired of this.

I actually really liked the addon as it would help you have a workflow closer to a tiling window manager.

So they are creating a DE with the features they think are important (tiling, performance, others) in mind from the start. I like the idea of this as I don't want to commit to installing 100's of tools for a tiling window manager like hyprland but I do want the benefits of tiling.

Also it's written in rust which implies performance and security.
