It really depends on the owner and how they are driven

I'm not sure about this study (can't read any German oops), but expected vs real-life usage of PHEVs (Plug-in Hybrid) is exactly the problem brought up by T&E and others at the end of last year, see for example this report from October 2025:

The [fuel consumption and CO2 emissions] gap is mostly caused by flawed assumptions on the share of electric driving mode (the ‘utility factor’, UF) which leads to a drastic underestimate of official PHEV emissions. The UF overestimated the electric driving share, assuming 84% over 2021-2023, whereas real-world data shows this to be just 27%.

I'm not doubting at all that you outperform the expected consumption, but sadly on average it seems like there's more of a systematic (and significant) under-performance. However, this is comparing WLTP testing to real-life driving EU data, for cars sold in the EU. I'm sure that this might be region-dependent as models and driving habits might be radically different.

EDIT: oops as mentioned by @Don_alForno@feddit.org, this seems to be more about the engine of certain manufacturers consuming more than expected in electric drive mode:

Until now it has been claimed by manufacturers that the vehicles used only a little or almost no fuel when in the electric mode. The studies showed that this was not in fact the case.

So not the same as the T&E study, and much less about usage.

    They give the example of Tailwind CSS, who sell UI blocks/kits and templates. I think that sounds like more added value than just pay me to help you use my software.

    This is already happening. Last month, Tailwinds—an open source CSS framework that helps people build websites—laid off three of its four engineers. Tailwinds is extremely popular, more popular than it’s ever been, but revenue has plunged.

    Tailwinds head Adam Wathan explained why in a post on GitHub. “Traffic to our docs is down about 40% from early 2023 despite Tailwind being more popular than ever,” he said. “The docs are the only way people find out about our commercial products, and without customers we can't afford to maintain the framework.

    Even for projects that don't advertise commercial products, I can believe that not needing to leave the chat/IDE to do anything leads to less traffic on GitHub etc, which is where the donate buttons are for ex.

    shoot, tried the game through my brother's free epic copy and then bought it for myself thinking it was so good that I had to give it back to the studio. It was on sale for 5€, but still I feel uneasy now..

    At least one advantage of epic's shenanigans is that I'd probably never have played this game if the free giveaway had not happened.

    Et surtout la partie la plus importante, la règle/équerre/rapporteur qui fait swish swish

    On avait aussi entendu dire qu'on n'allait pas le faire en Terminale, du coup on a monté un petit lobby et finalement on les a fait changer d'avis !

    the first paragraph has a link to a protondb dashboard:

    https://www.protondb.com/dashboard

    pretty cool visualisation, though it's not obvious where they get the 90% for me either. But for example if you take the Top 1000 games, 89% of them either have a plat, gold or silver medal, which sounds quite equivalent to "works on Linux". There is an "all steam games" option, but the issue is that most games haven't had any feedback from anyone on protondb

    edit: the stat comes from the second link https://boilingsteam.com/windows-games-compatibility-on-linux-is-at-a-all-time-high/ which uses as a sample all of the steam games rated on protondb

    I'm confused, what does that mean ? Will a rocket league -like "mini game" be available in Fortnite, like some sort of crossover ? Will Fortnite have multiple main games like LoL has TFT and Clash Royale has Merge Tactics ? Or will Fortnite just become a game launcher ??
