two thoughts a) where does it say this? it says the machine will have 16 GB of ram, nothing about possible bonus upgrades one might be able to get (though maybe you followed some l…

I am not yet fortunate enough of having been published, but I think the number of authors in any position to "demand a title" is extremely limited, they are glad about being publis…

I read 4 or 5 books at a time usually. There is no problem if they are in 2 to 3 different languages, and span across multiple genres (historical, biography, non-fiction, fiction),…

To anyone wondering: public domain? Bach has been dead for how long? Of course there are already some available (recordings, and sheet music of course), a great database is: https:…

Wrong, or at the least misleading. What do you mean by 'maintain' here? Because Arch is trying to stay on the bleeding edge side of things in a reasonable manner and is rolling rel…

Moderators can of course change the title, I don't think it's misleading and I was not trying to be. I guess 'reports' could be changed into 'finds' and it could be mentioned that …

I am trying not to be too negative, but if I were to summarize the article: TikTok wants positive PR and describes its algorithms as being 'generic' in an attempt to counter allega…

Context: many devices (affecting multiple blu ray players and home cinema models by Samsung) are stuck in a reboot loop since around Friday ; it's questionable if the situation can…

This is absurd and really funny, well meant advice could basically be: 'if they don't make it easy to cancel the service, just stop the payment, wait for the debt collectors, reaso…

How come multi language support is as poor as it is? Living in a non English speaking country (whose language I also speak), my device is set to English (as main language), which l…

Makes sense ; where I come from direct debit is also widely used for such matters. Wouldn't it be awesome if when you stop paying it would simply automatically cancel the contracts…

So they can't charge you but will still try to 'collect' and ruin your credit rating I suppose? Well, doesn't solve a lot then.

I remember once seeing a commercial for an 'online virtual credit card' website/company? Quick online search tells me there are many providers out there. As far as I know you can c…

I doubt a 'standard' how to do it can be independently developed and implemented. I use a non web-based password manager, a backup strategy that makes sense, and have a secure setu…

Thanks to the author for sharing it in this open manner, I look forward to working with it. I am sure it has been mentioned before on HN, but seems like a good place to share https…

It's open source, so of course it's 'possible', but if it's difficult to do and another project actually fully supports my use case, documents it, allows questions on IRC and maili…

I fear it being 'GNU' they will shoot themselves in the foot somehow. Bad marketing, unnecessarily geeky and childish nomenclature, GPLv3 and make it all free software, no propriet…

It's part of GNU [0] (which in itself is a community), but GNU as a whole is additionally funded in part by the FSF [1] ; And then as always: volunteers. I suspect since Guix heavi…

I am too tired to de-construct this in full, just a few short points: - It's about where the goal post is. Let's not forget what the original discussion is about. You invoke a lot …

"a lot of the confusion is going to come down to the fact that you're not an American who is getting dragged into socio political issues" That's partly my point though. That if you…

It's not at all difficult to assume that something is offensive to someone, but not to me. It's extremely easy that for any different person, different phrases are considered offen…
