To be fair, I'd claim that it's pretty rare for anything anyone ever does to not be a trade-off.

Public service broadcasting is pretty nice too. (Of course it shouldn't be the only model, but I think it's often overlooked.)

Living on Venus would indeed be pretty inconvenient and unpleasant. Luckiliy for most of everyone, most of everyone does not live on Venus! :)

In my opinion, not having an open platform and open-source code is completely at odds with "respecting the user" and whatever nice stuff they write on their website. Open up or shut up.

My experience with a Framework Laptop has been that the one or two things that are relevant were quite well-documented, I'd guess because Framework actually cares about Linux and there's a lot of overlap between "folks who wa

It's kind of funny to me to read your comment, because multiple monitors are working perfectly fine for me (Manjaro, KDE, Wayland, if anyone cares), but I do have some problems with that on my work laptop that runs Windows.

Neither here or there, but I saw an election poster for a single issue party a while ago that asked "Where do you want to live in 800 years?" (The single issue being lifespan extension through medicine.)

I'm surprised to read your description of 15 minute cities. The idea behind them is to make daily neccesities available within 15 minutes of travel by foot, bike or public transport. Not allowing people to drive (cars) out of some desi

Congratulations! You have ignored the point OP wanted to make by pointing out the original definition of a term that is used with another meaning nowadays. Is there something you believe this adds to the conversation? (Genuinely asking, bec

Some people like that. (I'm not one of them.) It's possible to not like something and let other people like it. That's even true if the people liking the thing are teenagers. No one is trying to force you to listen to the spe

I'm pretty sure you can put Wireguard on any UDP port you desire, too.

What a delightful site! I really enjoy the writing style, and it does have a few nice tips. Kinda reminds me of that "list of things you didn't know you could do" (or something like that) that was shared here a while ago.

> And no, this were no protests against the "far right". It was an attempt to get the only opposition party in Germany banned, which is more than scary. The protests certainly weren't that. At the one I was at, the speaker

You are describing a library. Those have been around for quite a while. Nowadays, many do have online offers where you can "borrow" e-books. Of course, any library's catalogue is probably smaller than Amazons, but they usuall

As for identification, with the German eID (EU-wide standard for identity cards with an NFC chip) you can get a PGP key signed online. Maybe that's the same for other countries too.

They do take donations through Liberapay, where you can use credit cards and PayPal. As for membership, they are a German e.V. (Registered club/society? Not sure how this translates in terms of both culture and language.) According to

I think the real solution here is customization. Some folks prefer meters for everything, some folks prefer numbers for everything, some others want different things depending on the context. There are arguments for numbers and meters, and

With enough advertising and lobbying, you can however influence the likelihoods of raindrops acting in certain ways. (I absolutely agree with you, but I believe that we shouldn't ignore the ways powerful people influence the masses.)

You could use a custom firmware that allows asset packs, and just remove/replace either the sad animations or just all of them.

I think that neither cars nor rental scooters (with how they are used and operated) belong in cities. Obviously, there are always exceptions (delivery/transport, emergency vehicles, ...), but for personal transport in cities, the negat

I'd say that's because reducing labor costs almost always directly affects the employees' quality of life. This does not apply to reducing your material or compute bills. I can see how in the long run, a third-party making le

Adding to the anecdata: My experience with my current HP laptop was completely different. Two or three months after the warranty ended, the keyboard broke. Sending it to them would have cost 50€ for them to just tell me the repair costs, wh
