Yet another vide-coded, MIT-licenced Rust rewrite, yawn.

We had a once in a lifetime opportunity to completely destroy the theocratic regime and we did not finish the job. This "deal" (or what transpired of it) is pathetic and will only allow the mullahs to rearm and come back stronger

One more reason to remove the cellular modem from the car, so that even a compromised vehicle cannot exfiltrate information or be otherwise remotely controlled. This is something that every modern car owner should do immediately when taking

HN is not "social media," in a conventional sense, far from it. For one, it is completely anonymous, at least if you want it to be.

The solution is parenting, period. Do not give your kid an Internet-connected device before they are ready for it.

Maybe, in the future, the UK will thing twice before electing a socialist government.

Same thing here, X content and trackers are blocked by my Firefox settings. The occasional inconvenience is a small price to pay not to be profiled by X, Google, FB, Amazon, and countless other Internet parasites.

I wouldn't those programs. You have the corresponding FOSS versions (code-oss and chromium) in the main repository. Chrome is basically spyware.

> mature service industry for them The car service industry is a scam, and I am glad that EVs require minimal to no servicing that cannot be easily DIY like tires and brakes.

Iran has no choice but to make a deal, if they don't want their country turned into a parking lot. With complete air superiority, taking their power plants and a few bridges would lead to complete economic collapse as seen in Cuba.

Absolutely. And this is why I don't give any business my real name, phone number, or other personal information. Starbucks does not need to know my name or email to make my coffee. If a company insists on an app or some kind of registr

I refuse to download commercial apps. I exclusively book through the website and expect to receive a boarding pass by email. There is no Google Wallet on GrapheneOS anyway.

Americans don't want to live in dense neighborhoods, so public transit is not viable (the operating costs would be too high). Foreigners are often amazed by the quality of life in American suburbs relative to what they experience at ho

I never had any issues with it. The Docker image is basically a turnkey solution. The only extra step was to set up nginx as a reverse proxy. I wouldn't deploy a complex piece of software like Nextcloud without Docker to be honest, and

No, I don't think it will be beefy enough, since you need to be running a desktop environment essentially to do that. (Check out Plasma Bigscreen BTW.) I used thin client seems much better for this.

Nextcloud is great, I self-host an instance at home. I mostly use the calendar, address book, and file sharing with links a la Google Drive. It's probably heavier and slower than it should be for what it does, but it works. Just like H

Will it be expensive, unreliable, and repairable only by MB dealers? Much like their gas cars.

I don't feel like you need this kind of tool on Linux. Just about anything can be done in the terminal, and that is the preferred mouse-free workflow. Using a GUI without a mouse seems antithetical.

This is a nonevent, unless perhaps some genuine "general purpose" tools come out of this. MS will never contribute to things such as Wine and Proton and kill its golden goose.
