I admit, I did not read the long article. Of course the mining of the resources necessary for electric cars is not without downsides, like a lot of resources. Care should be taken that the downsides are minimized.

The good thing is once the resources are mined and they are used in a battery, they can be recycled almost completely. Whereas once petrol is burned, it’s gone forever.

Maybe for convenience a picker would be nice. It could also generate unicode emojis.

But you are right, inputting unicode emojis directly is also an idea 😀. Works on MacOS where I’m on using the emoji picker. 🤗 everybody 😉.

I second htop. Also iotop for disk io. When making small changes to a file on the command line, I use vim. Otherwise emacs :).

The question should be rephrased, to make it not that obvious and more interesting what the answer will be: what is the most influential non-religious book?

I guess that’s hard to determine, which is the most influential. I think religious books like the Bible, the Quran, … were very influential. Or “Capital” by Karl Marx.

I guess then it’s rg, fd and exa for me. They were started pretty recent compared to what I use else.

What do you mean by “most recent” and by “modern”? Do you mean the most recent application/software I started using, or the most recently used application/software? And when is a software considered modern?

I’m pretty sure there’s something like that in the UK, shops with a social agenda.

In Germany, I can recommend https://www.buch7.de/

Bought already multiple times three, works very well. They donate a percentage of the money to charity.
