„Does chease_greater sometimes manage to not shit their pants?“. Doesn’t matter if you phrase it as „ever“ or „sometimes“. Either way you imply an expected norm.

The thing is that the way you phrase those questions sounds like you are seeking confirmation rather than clarification.
From a physics perspective, devices that create heat are by definition 100% efficient. Where else would the energy go than into heat?
I don’t want to be rude but the way you phrase your questions sounds a lot like you have a certain opinion about Russia and China that you want us to confirm.
I don’t think we have an expert on Russian and Chinese law here so all we can do is google stuff for you.
From the Wikipedia article it seems like at least Russia has a functional legal system (though one that works slightly differently from the ones we might be used to). The expectation that the government decides who is guilty regardless of the truth sounds like an exaggeration born out of an „us vs. them“ argument, similar to „democrats kill babies“. I‘m not an expert though, so don’t listen to me and instead look for independent sources.
Wikipedia has an article about this topic. In both China and Russia, the conviction rate is over 99% although this seems to be a quirk of the respective systems. In both countries, it seems to be common to dismiss a case (before or during a trial) when an acquittal is likely. For Russia this brings the overall conviction rate down to about 70-80% which is similar to the US. I‘m too lazy to find numbers for China but I’m sure if you follow the sources in the article you can get there.
For those who want the old tabs back: under settings -> appearance, you can set the ui density to compact (sorry, can't tell you the exact name, I have my system set to German)
The expectation that people in office jobs can be productive for 8 hours per day.
I get it when it's a 20+ year old game where the remake just has modern graphics, some quality of life upgrades and maybe content that was cut in the original. That way, the new game feels more or less like what we remember from back then.
What I don't get is remakes of games that are less than ten years old, still run well on modern platforms (i.e. PS4 games on PS5). Often it's a matter of taste which version looks better and the new one has bugs and performance problems that the old one didn't have. Looking at you, Until Dawn remake...
Honestly, this whole thing is a mess... first a countdown, then a website with basically no information and that's only the start.
More than 24 hours after signing up, I finally got an email with just about zero information:

And from some random comment that dansup made on pixelfed I found out that this beta is only for Android. Apparently, iOS will come later and there is no info on a browser-based version. That info should have been on the website. Also, what about selfhosting? This is the fediverse after all...
Probably a cheap 3D printer
Hours? I would give up a week of lunch for them to only cancel stuff that I needed hours to code. My personal record is over a year.
I doubt that. From what he said somewhere on Pixelfed, the beta is only on Android right now and you don't need approval to publish something on the Play Store. From personal experience, apps appear within a couple of minutes. On iOS, the usual approval time would be 3-4 days.
