overselling the safety is very euphemistic

many years ago we made a list of malware apps on the Mac App Store:

(yes, the list was made after being disgruntled because totally legitimate apps were refused for nonsense reasons just like in this story)

been on Kagi 2 years, super happy - haven't googled at all for like a year.

Barely legal

all of the text implies the opposite of the headline?

That title really is bonkers, in a flammable/inflammable kind of way.

flickering lights are not "modern decor" but a broken (and possibly dangerous) appliance

You're confusing what they mean: it's not the flickering that you can easily notice, it's the flickering of lights "fps".

To see those, you need a digital camera (e.g. your phone)

Colors are a a continuous spectrum, yet we put them in a bunch of categories.

Organising people by the colour of their skin makes exactly as much ontological sense as organising library books by the colour of their cover.

Can you see the fallacy you are doing here? The parent tried to suggest this: simply because a thing can be in a spectrum doesn't make it unworthy of being a category. You've twisted that analogy into this nonsensical book example.

It’s not a fallacy, it’s a bitter, dark joke.

It sounds like this is an analogy in support of the parent - is that the intent?

> cars are the leading source of carbon emissions.

WTF? cars are less than 7% and even including trucks we are barely around 11%. when you look at greenhouse effect instead of "just carbon", the percentages are even tinier.

If you are looking for leading sources of climate change look at electricity/heat, industry and agriculture.

just because (bad) politicians are always talking about cars when talking about climate it doesn't mean the are actually a meaningful component. it is smoke and mirros…

transportation is NOT "passenger cars"
