Cost of ownership is nuts. My car basically just sits, but I have to pay $1000 a year just to keep it legal. My bike was $50. And that was it.

You are mistaken. https://www.sheldonbrown.com/gloss_da-o.html#department > The average department-store bicycle is ridden about 75 miles in its lifespan from showroom floor to lan…

Did you ever try a bike from a bike shop? This sounds like a department store bike experience. Multispeed bicycles are not generic widgets you unbox, hop on, and go. They need tuni…

Unless EV door handles and airbags are that much more complicated, I must be missing something. The problems with EVs are support infrastructure and profitability, NOT reliability …

It was a time bomb to disable functionality after a certain date and should never have been there in the first place. The decision to silently disable the override in about:config …

Right, so we fork.

Doesn't seem to want to build against NDK 3.9 with gcc 4.7, but it was fun to try.

Accepting anti-features in exchange for security hotfixes isn't going to win everyone over.

An EV drivetrain is extremely simple and reliable. They are dragging their feet on purpose to extend their returns on ICE investment, not because it's "too hard".

There's no reason for local software to stop working when a remote server is unavailable, reconfigured, neglected, or your clock is wrong. They are doomed if they think this is sus…

We have all the proof we need that MS is running an ad farm from the base windows experience. What proof do you have that he was infected with malware beyond that?

That's just making the user need _more_ passwords, and will result in bad password mangement and lost access. Also pins are quite a bit easier to shoulder surf, so this is just nut…

If they are going to pay for 1/10 a developer, is anything stopping you from picking up 10 of these orgs as employers at the same time and delivering 1/10 of your effort to each?

It's hard to make parts for things that are designed to be unrepairable. That said it's also hella not cost effective. I'm in $400 or more, and have only printed a few daily use it…

It'd be acceptable if we could run code on it, as root, like we actually own it.

postmarketos is beginning to support cellular capabilities. You may not have to wait a whole lot longer.

Hey, it worked(?) for the web!

Well sure if it's for a airconditioned-hottub-phone, but I'm pretty sure a small 600 watt cable would be more cost effective here.

Mozilla has been pushing anti-features like their survival depends on it. I too have moved to forks. I use icecat and waterfox now. Tired of being abused because they assume too mu…

I was absolutely mozilla's target audience when firefox was introduced. Now they remove control and capabilities from us, and I keep getting told here on HN I'm not their target au…

You needed a $5 AC power extension cord.

Too complex and overreaching is certainly a valid fault.

Your man page link confirms the capability is not there. It can forward to local syslog, which is still both useless (logging holes still exist) and needlessly redundant for this p…

https://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-information-f... Later they re-released a version with an intel cpu with the same branding, so the machine is hard to google.

Well to be fair, pirates are far more honest and helpful than corporations.
