I have a similar model (2015 VW GTI, manual transmission) and I'm so glad I bought one before they ruined it. I will also be driving mine until it falls apart.
Yep, KV is broken too. Any worker that depends on KV is throwing exceptions. I was able to get into the dash, but it's very slow. Error rates started to go up significantly around 18:00 UTC.
I've tried all sorts of configurations and I settled on two 27" 5K monitors (in HiDPI mode) on a VESA mount so they can easily be rotated for different use cases. The biggest selling point was text clarity. I really like using my code editor in vertical mode.
My previous setup was a 34" curved ultrawide and I didn't like it. Primarily due to the poor text quality and generally feeling it encouraged too much distraction.
I like being able to have very separate concerns per-display -- code editor on one display and browser on the other, and then I use virtual desktops on each one where needed.
It sounds like a big part of the issue is that Portugal has substantially pulled back on funding after COVID...
"Speaking more quantitatively, drug users in treatment declined from 1,150 to 352 (from 2015 to 2021) as funding dropped in 2012 from $82.7 million to $17.4 million. "
Prior to that, the numbers seemed quite impressive:
"By 2018, Portugal’s number of heroin addicts had dropped from 100,000 to 25,000. Portugal had the lowest drug-related death rate in Western Europe, one-tenth of Britain and one-fiftieth of the U.S. HIV infections from drug use injection had declined 90%. The cost per citizen of the program amounted to less than $10/citizen/year while the U.S. had spent over $1 trillion over the same amount of time. Over the first decade, total societal cost savings (e.g., health costs, legal costs, lost individual income) came to 12% and then to 18%."
I've been using SvelteKit since July of this year on downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it's easily my favorite Javascript framework at this point. I found Svelte made sense to me almost immediately and debugging issues has always been a breeze.
We used to have Disqus on our site and I can attest to it being a resource hog. We switched to Commento last year, which doesn't have as many features, but it shaved seconds off our page load time.
My only complaint with Commento was that automated moderating / spam filtering worked better in Disqus than Commento.
