It's usually referred to as 'immersive daydreaming'.

Donkey.

Dutch food is pretty bland, but plenty of Indonesian, Moroccan and Turkish immigrants to add some desperately needed variety.

Just started Exordia. It's great for a particular kind of sci-fi fan. Reminds me of Ian McDonald a little.

Thanks! Seems interesting, added it to my to-read.

Oh you feel enlightened? I'm just more confused tbh.

Wait... have you actually lost your mouse? Hilarious if true 😂

Sure, I just showed you the report, you may draw your own conclusions upon reading it. But in my opinion they've long proven to be transparent and actionable when it comes to improving the industry, e.g. by co-founding the Fair Cobalt Alliance. And maybe they even had something to do with those changes in legislation, the EU itself seems to recognise as much...

"Fairphone has made a tangible impact by improving working conditions for miners and factory workers, increasing the use of fair-trade and recycled materials, and extending product lifespans to combat e-waste. Its advocacy has influenced industry giants and policymakers to adopt fairer, more sustainable practices."

a vague promise

"Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we collaborate with suppliers to develop improvement plans that are informed by detailed assessments and worker surveys." p. 28

From their recently published annual(I think?) impact report. There's a bit more detail under section 4.3, not crazy specific but definitely better than a vague promise imo.

This is the most thorough answer I managed to find so far. They do mention silver being more valuable, but seems like the application process might be more expensive also.

The only source I could find on commonality is this paywalled market report claiming "The market is segmented by application (home and commercial) and type (aluminized and silvered glass mirrors), with silvered glass mirrors currently holding a larger market share due to their superior reflectivity and clarity." Not sure whether greater market share necessarily means more individual mirrors produced though. But sounds like silver still reigns supreme despite higher costs, though not sure by how much.

Honestly, I'd prefer leisurely delivery unless next-day is absolutely necessary (and it should cost extra). Biggest problem is overpromising, just say it'll take 3-4 days and people will be happy it arrives in 2. It'll give the delivery workers a break, and you probably don't need it by tomorrow anyways otherwise you should've ordered sooner.

Part of the problem is the lack of stores nearby in case you do need something right away of course. Ideally you could solve that with a quick corner store visit instead of having to order online.

Basically Amazon didn't just fuck up retail, but postal too.
