While Krita can be nice, it can also be a bit difficult and bothersome to use. For example, there is no printing support. Units everywhere (other than document creation) are in pixels and cannot be changed to millimeters, etc. Tools (like d

Lazarus is nowhere near as polished and nice as Delphi, despite having years to get it to that point. There are no native GUI components, everything is the same old and ancient custom Lazarus VCL design. Why can't I just drag, drop, an

Same here! I’m on a 2019 MBP, and absolutely _love_ the butterfly keyboard. I have also had no issues with it. Then again, I find those that do love smashing their fingers down on the keys whereas I lightly tap which I really really like. I

My god, the gall of you to claim that since you can't do something, nobody else can. Quite a preposterous and absurd claim. I'm sure you have seen this[1] image that tests for a phenomenon known as aphantasia. While I myself can o

They could go down that path. But the law prohibits linking to news in general, including international news that is unrelated to Australia. It is vague enough to likely include blog content as "news". Should Google accidentally l

Respectfully, that is not the same thing. The news article from the OP (and why there's so many today), is because Google just confirmed (/threatened) that it will. That other article from a week ago is just speculation.

Why is this thread marked as a dupe, despite having many more comments than any other submission / not being merged? And where is a link to this dupe? Now it's just going to be buried.

As someone else from Australia, I am not, not is anyone else I have spoken to. Yea, Google needs to be reigned in, but not like this, not with corrupt legislation handing free money to old established news organisations in an attempt to kee

Exactly. Depart Australia entirely, serve Australians from a foreign IP address, still charge Australian businesses for ads & G-Suite but in USD (comparable rates using card conversion) further devaluing the Australian dollar.

Doubt it ever will, as DDG/<insert any other search engine here> would be forced to pay up and comply with this ridiculous legislation. Easier to just not bother with a country as small as Australia.

They removed it because the screens were getting too thin, and in bright conditions you could start to see through it - leaving a brighter blob in the middle.

I mean, Flappy Bird was popular in late 2013/early 2014, nearly 7 years ago. If you’re a HN reader and currently aged 16 or 17 years old, you would’ve only been 9 or 10 years old at the height of its popularity. Somewhat reasonable to

Wow, the absolute and obvious bias in that article, not to mention the comments. Is there a more neutral source, or at least a source that isn’t so blatantly one-sided?

Wow, Project Loon. It’s been a while since I’ve thought about it. It seems kind of pointless now, doesn’t it? StarLink will displace it in a couple of years.

I really wish I knew enough about the stock market to understand your comment, but no matter how much I try, it still seems to convoluted and messy. Is there a good resource out there to help people like me who are an absolute beginner?

The idea is that everyone receives a basic income, equivalent to a (hopefully) updated minimum wage. Then if people want extra money for luxuries, then you work a job which will pay you on top of your standard basic income. I imagine most p
