Not directly. It was a bit of a chain reaction.

1. Russia's invasion of Ukraine disrupted Europe's established natural gas supply.

2. Europe needed more gas from alternative suppliers, including Algeria.

3. Algeria sent more gas through its pipeline to Spain rather than processing as much gas into LNG at Arzew.

4. Less gas passed through the LNG process that made helium recovery economical.

5. Helium production fell, even though the underground gas deposits could still contain helium.

I can see now how that line can give the wrong impression. My unit is very dear to me, to the point where I call it by name like any other housemate. It's always "honey, I'll give Bob a go at these dishes". I guess I was expecting constructive discourse on HN without having to dodge knee-jerk comments at every step.

Every time this gets posted to HN, the comments go straight for "DRM bad!", when the Bob dishwasher does NOT in fact require you to use the proprietary cassettes.

Chrome comes bundled with Android.

Not totally unheard of. Sounds a bit like OpenAI for the most part.

While competing with browsers bundled with operating systems. A bit of nuance.

Now we're getting somewhere. The taboo is when you start accounting for christofascist families churning out children like it's a Factorio assembly line so that there are always more of "us" then there are of "them".

There's a huge gap between the two, one in which a variety of hardware and software could live as alternatives. Where are they though?

And we can now translate their warnings about the incoming extinction level CME and save Atlantis. These are exciting times

I'm not sure when Slovakia entered the chat, but I was responding to the parent's question of how could the workers (in Sweden) be prohibited from deciding whether to strike, and was trying to make a point that US commenters go by US laws which do not apply here.

By living and working in the U.S.. Most commenters here are wrongly assuming workers in Sweden have as little rights as they do, and probably just as exploited as well.

There's a more insidious side effect to prettier related to the line length thing which I'm not sure other commenters touched upon, and the reason I avoid opinionated formatters.

Prettier will affect your diff in ways you didn't intend to.

Remove a member from a destructuring assignment that brings it below the line length limit, and suddenly your diff is +1/-5 instead of 0/-1, making it slightly more difficult for your reviewer to see what the exact difference is between those 5 lines removed and 1 line added - it's not immediately clear which member was removed.

You try to rewrite a previous commit to fix a typo using Git's interactive rebase, and now the next commits won't replay on top if it because Prettier decided to reformat an entire code block.

Another fun thing to try with prettier: add a precommit hook that runs prettier, and then try to stage partial file changes.

No thanks.

> I dislike the attitude of those who reject ads but also refuse to pay

And I dislike YouTube's hostile ad escalation in recent years. One ad - fine, two ads - hmmm, three ads - what the hell. Unskippable ads. Inappropriate ads. Loud-ass eardrum ripping ads. Ads even on Premium.

I thought this was going to be another instance of that time Bard pre-membered its own demise from lack of adoption.
