I added Jellyfish and then Portuguese Man-o-war. It took the man o war, but crossed out Jellyfish and said "added a vaguer term", but a jellyfish and a man-o-war are discrete anima…

This looks neat, but has a lot going on. I really like how minimalist yet extensible lf [0] is and just use edir [1] to rename files in bulk. Gluing them both together is really ea…

The body doesn't store protein in any real capacity. Fat is stored in adipose tissue and carbs in glycogen, but protein must be available in the bloodstream when needed for muscle …

Redundant? Smart watches exist and camera (phones) exist. They're both worse off today in the repair department _by design_, not coincidence or necessity. I still have both (non sm…

You need the phone upside down in your pocket to plug it in and a new USB headset to boot. The Apple and Samsungs of the world in their ubiquity have changed the ecosystem. It's no…

An always plugged in port risks damage and a damaged USB port makes your phone a brick, not so for an analog port that is inarguably more resilient. Every major vendor's earbuds an…

Great, so your security situatuon is now determined by two contributors that haven't moved on back-porting userspace lineageos to your device. I very much doubt anyone is making ke…

Apple's omission was the same garbage about complexity and space, yet no one in the real world had these problems. Apple is making a killing on Bluetooth accessories and adapters w…

I agree with you practically except that the pixel 3a has not been getting security updates for over a year. I wouldn't run it with anything personal on it. - https://endoflife.dat…

This isn't necessarily true. Regulations that create exceptions for key big players entrench them further and their poor business practices against competitors that wish to usurp t…

I have the original Pinephone and haven't sprung for this yet so thanks for the heads up.

Same. I didn't miss an email confirmation or anything. They're very aware of me in the "queue". Contacting support on a monthly basis gets the same answer. I have to wait for some …

I ordered mine in 2017 and still haven't received it or a refund. I've been fighting with the company about it for years. See [here]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33645259 …

I'd be in support of stopping at 15 and moving to a base 16 metric. Hexadecimal numbers being discrete from alpha glyphs would be a bonus.

I'm unsure by your wording, but I am a vegetarian in case that's what you mean by "either" - over a decade and still ongoing. Not very important, but I just wanted to clarify. Your…
