It was mostly buying votes with money from ETS instead of spending those money in whole on energy transformation as intended.

Despite Międzyzdroje (zachodniopomorskie, Poland) lying directly at the seaside, the air quality in winter is so bad it literally irritates the throat and can even give you headaches or make you nauseous, and only directly on the beach can

I was not asking about having terminal and root access. I was asking about security-wise parity, for example memory protection, full "disk" encryption, permission model, application sandboxing etc. This is the main selling point o

AFAIR, I got refunded the whole tablet price in the end - I think half the price immediately, and the other half a few years later. It doesn't mean others were refunded too, of course. It was long time ago, though, so I may have mixed

GrapheneOS' main selling point is security. Is Sailfish OS better at that, or at least in the same league, nowadays?

Same experience here, though from Sailfish OS run on their first Jolla phone. Also permission model on Sailfish was much worse than on Android. I didn't use Android apps on Sailfish, though. I really liked Silica UI, but available apps

Yup, in Poland, a mobile phone number (pre-paid or not, it doesn't matter) is tied to a PESEL number [1] at the time of purchase. The official justification, as usual, was combating crime, but the end result is a tighter grip on citize

PSP S.A. is expanding abroad, so perhaps BLIK will be available in more countries in some time: "In September, the first BLIK transaction was made in Slovakia, and BLIK Romania S.A. received authorization from the National Bank of Roma

This is not about "writing to look smart". It's about using elegant style and using the language to it's full potential. There were multiple attempts to strip Polish people of their mother tongue and identity throughout

> "a complex writing style preferred by educated people" This is not a quote of me. Nor is it an honest summary of what I wrote. It also completely ignores the context: the "educated people" were supposed to "see

I remember an anecdote from my English teacher where a student went to London, and a taxi driver told her (the student) something along "What a lovely English! It's a shame nobody speaks like that anymore." ;)

What problem? To make sentences like the one from NTSB report quoted here? Well, personally I would've split it and I'm pretty sure my teacher would've asked me to do it too if I were the author. ;)

You could write the same thing using multiple sentences no problem, without affecting the meaning.

It can if you count all the different forms of each word and proper nouns. But this way Polish may have even more words than english, given multitude of different forms. I've never checked that, though. There's also the tendency i

It's not pretentious and there's nothing to see through here. This is the preferred style in Poland and it's widely used, especially by the educated people. Just because the sentences aren't simple, doesn't mean the

At school (Polish class in Poland) we were always taught to prefer complex and compound sentences over simple ones, because it's more elegant and speaks well the speaker/writer.

It's surprising up to the moment the compilation error tells you that all of the members have to implement derived trait. Nevertheless, it would be cool to be able to add #[noderive(Trait)] or something to a field not to be included in

Great initiative! A quick web search revealed at least 4 other agent orchestration frameworks written in Rust [1][2][3][4]. Just being curious: did you decide against contributing to existing ones for some reason? [1] https://git

Checksums are slow on HDDs and using SSDs for backups is a bad idea, particularly for cold backups, due to data longevity and the tendency for SSDs to experience sudden total failures instead of gradual degradation.

Rust does not have this feature. Function names can't have spaces, for example. Underscores are used instead. Maybe there are some macros for arbitrary ASCII strings - I don't know - but it's not a language feature.
