Volker-E··on Ferrari Luce
Wasn't tailored for Ferrari, or at least not for Ferrari alone. Porsche is a much bigger player revenue – 5x the annual revenue.
Volker-E··on Googlebook
Same for a while. OTOH a Pixel 9 Pro screen of a close friend broke 7 times in a year.
Volker-E··on US Job Market Visualizer – Andrej Karpathy
"everywhere" – look twice.
Volker-E··on AMD CEO sees chips from TSMC's US plant costing 5%-20% more
Agreed by all, but one: In 0 years.
Volker-E··on Mozilla to shut down Pocket and Fakespot
Surman same problematic "leadership" type.
Volker-E··on How to Understand Things
Oh my lord, why is Jesus in that list?
Volker-E··on California governor issues statewide 'stay at home' order
A bit late, but still so far best move of any US State. Originated myself in Central Europe and every day counts when I see the development in my home country and its neighbors!
Volker-E··on The Deep Sea
Same here, after I wrote my comment, my next thought was what ways there could be enabled to have similar content on Wikimedia projects. The rules around Wikipedia projects (encyclopedic content, an article content narrated along an axis, as in meters here) and moderation are the hurdles from my POV. But then again, maybe it's simpler/better to have folks taking free content, putting it in a narration on their sites and linking back to Wikipedia as part of distributed Web.
Volker-E··on The Deep Sea
This is beautiful, thanks. Why not linking the creatures to their English Wikipedia pages to get curious folks more background? Wikimedia Foundation employee here in private comment. Just learnt the first time about the Leatherback Sea Turtle here.
Volker-E··on Tesla Cybertruck
> without smuggering up the earth as much.

Rental might be a “different” option than buying a newly produced 2.7 metric tons truck?!

Volker-E··on Dark mode in a website with CSS
You can try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Volker_E._(WMF)/dark-mode for now. It's a black/night mode at the moment. And (not yet) an official option with some technical acceptance issues like lazy-loading, therefore flicker on load. – I work for the Wikimedia Foundation.
