Was gonna say the same thing. Also by the standards of the time one could argue that Austria and Germany where kinda the same thing. There's a parallel history where Austria could …

I rated the vertical ones the highest, I think it's genious. It automatically struck me as way more usable. You can see the denomination as you are handing it to someone. It's easi…

I sympathise with a lot of the negative and pesimistic sentiment shared here and in other comments and been drowning in some of it over the last few months. However I have slowly b…

It just shows that the whole point of "regulation is bad" blanket statement is an intellectually dishonest argument, as what most people actually mean is "regulations that I don't …

also substantivizing everything and using "gate", "latch", at every turn. a normal person would say "add the pasta once the water boils" or "the water should be boiling when you ad…

thank you! I'll definitely consider those. one thing that helps me is using OLauncher as replacement from the system "shell" UI. it's on f-droid. and the News Feed Eradicator brows…

I recently bought my first smartphone, just went for a refurbished Pixel 8 with GrapeheneOS. To be honest, life without a smartphone was increasingly becoming a PITA. For example, …

that's a misleading equivalence because you're also not considering the energy it took to grow the plants that produce that oil millennia ago. perhaps comparing to biodiesel or ali…

can you post some details about the spam detector, and just your general setup? I am also an emacs-emailer, using Notmuch, but never looked too deep into the spam story

As someone that tries to survive (every day more difficult) with just a dumbphone with me, I just fantasized about a parallel universe where all those kiosks still existed, and the…

Very well put. I'd add Money and Goverment by Skidelsky to the list of recommendations.

Almost every every person I've met that describes themselves as empath tends to rank rather low on empathy, under my own judgement at least. One explanation I have for this is that…

As a former user of the Sansa Clip, I recommended the Shanling M0 as a modern alternative (they sell a separate case for the clip if you want that). Great audio quality and feature…

Same... I bought a 13 last year, super happy with it but was kind of sad after seeing this release because this new design is just so much better and addresses all the concerns I h…

I implemented these in C++ a while ago. Arguably some aspects of the concept work even better in C++ as they do in Clojure. https://github.com/arximboldi/zug An interesting applica…

> My wife's macbook is no longer receiving MacOS (and as a result Safari) updates, and all she needs it for is "big laptop tasks" and occasional video calls. This is the absolute p…

As a counter-data point: I have been asked a few times to move to the US by American companies, but no money in the world would make me move there permanently. Also, sticking again…

They switched me to CGNAT in my last speed upgrade, but I wrote to them about it and they moved me to native v4 straight away. Their service is good on a technical level but they h…

I moved to a Framework laptop a few months ago, but I do miss the design and keyboard of the X1 carbon that had been serving me since 2017...

I like Github Actions and it is better than what I used before (Travis) and I think it solves an important problem. For OSS projects it's a super valuable free resource. For me wha…

Neat! Does someone know a way to implement this in hyprland?

I'm waiting for the Punkt to die one day before I buy a new one, don't wanna create unnecessary waste. In spite of its flaws, it is rather robust so it may take a while haha. There…

I own a MP01 that replaced a Nokia 105 that got lost in the Berghain after 12 years of service. I regret buying the Punkt. It costs more than double than the Nokia and is worse in …

I really enjoyed the piece also, in spite of the off-putting writing style. It reminds me of the Epicurean hierarchy of desires, the genius Epicurus had it figured out more then a …
