Rape also involves lack of consent from one party, that distinguishes rape from sex. How is adultery far worse than rape? If your wife cheats on you, well, it sure is no happy moment, but you divorce and look for another person in your life

There are official LineageOS ROMs for a couple tv boxes, namely the Nvidia Shield, Google ADT-3 and Dynalink Tv-box. The latter is not only cheap, but it seems to keep its DRM working after installing LineageOS, at least that was mentioned

Donating money for someone to buy land is a big no for me. Privatisation of land to some benefactor doesn't seem to be the best strategy for preservation. How do you know ownership will not be transferred in the future? Also, why is it

We can always reduce the amount of lanes for cars, even from 1 to 0 in very old european cities. Cars were once a novelty too, and all street lanes were engulfed by motorised modes of transportation.

A bit of offtopic pedantry, but IANAL already has the word lawyer implied.

Not a lawyer, but I would like to think that whatever happens to an innocent third party in a stolen vehicle should add a penalty to that vehicle's thief, wether it's an injury in a car crash or death by the owner of the vehicle.

As a side note, it's really sad to see the Herald being revived to, once again (as it had already happened during the 2007-2017 era), be a para-statal fascist propaganda outlet.

There's been a two-part article recently on Hackaday, about repurposing laptop motherboards as hack-y SBCs. https://hackaday.com/2023/03/07/laptop-motherboard-lets-boot...

Did the japanese get a DOP for anime? That sounds great for them, but weird, as all DOP is for me.

Same goes for Sidebery in Firefox, but then it changes to "no" if I do open the Dev Tools. As a non web-dev, this behaviour is truly weird.

Maybe a Differential Thermal Analysis/Thermomechanical Analysia? I suspect gold and tungsten have different behaviours when heated, and that should tell both apart. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_therma

> We've seen this before: use hype and techno-optimism to sell a bill of goods. Yep, after reading a piece on ed-tech failures of the decade 2010-2020[0] here on HN[1], I've become pretty convinced that big-scale education is h

Fine, I'll bait. How are they assholes? If I buy a book[0], I expect to be able to read it as such, and not read a re-edition of it. [0] Although I understand that in most ebook stores, you're buying a license to the book, and not

There's Android Nearby, though I don't know how it works because I never used it. For laptop-Android transfer, KDE Connect has worked great for me.

What are these two roles about? What differentiates them? Asking genuinely as someone not in the tech sector.

It seems Roundcube [0] has a 3rd pary plugin for that[1]. There's also cypht [2], I like it's modular concept but I think it's still in alpha state. [0] https://roundcube.net/about/ [1] https:/&#x2

How does WSA compare to Anbox or Waydroid? Apart from running on Windows, I mean more performance wise and ability to run different apps.

Oh, I've tried the portrait-orientation template, it left everyone around confused. I always reccomend his lab notebook post [0], although I think he has edited it through the years. The testing of different writing tools against diffe

It's not state of the art (and it's showing it's age) but I've always loved the Wireless Networks in the Developing World book [0]. It covers the basics about propagation, antennas, infrastructure and such, but software

I'm totally hooked on these (pakistani?) videos. It's sort of relaxing, and cheap edutainment. What I've seen is that lots of these videos are uploaded to many YouTube channels (ripped from one to the other, or having the sam

I'm not sure if automatic categorization is solved by now. Look at how many not suitable for kids stuff show up on Youtube Kids. Maybe some other platform does this right, but I'm skeptic. I've watched some TikTok with my nie

I do the same, even if I know the metadata is removed before the image is shown to other users (e.g. Discord). When on mobile, I use Imagepipe for this, it can be found on F-droid.

As an argentinian, I believe the IMF is not pushy enough with us. "Here, have this big pile of money to pay for your more urgent and higher-interest-rate debts, and here are some policies for you to implement so you stop having inflati
