I deleted my Twitter account a few days ago. I am so disappointed in what became of Musk as he teamed up with Trump and I don't want to support him any more. Of course it does not make a dent in his life, but for mine it does. The time

The form factor of an HP48 or similar calculator is very attractive. Good tactile buttons in a format slightly laeger than a modern smartphone. I imagine it could work as a very good companion to a smartphone ifbit had modern comoute capac

I can't prove you wrong, but I think political alignment of newspapers come in many flavors. Many countries have more parties than two, and as the choice ls less binary, the endorsements can be more subtle.

I have seen Kopia mentioned from time to time but never as often as borg. Does it have a good reputation?

Interestingly, Slashdot originated from a site called "Chips & Dips". Similiar inspiration?

The N800 was actually before the iPhone too, I know since I had it. This meant I wasn't as impressed by the IPhone as others, but I failed to appreciate the strength of the iPhone too. N800 had a resistive screen and a pen. It had a qu

I didn't say Hezbollah is Palestinian. Just that Lebanon have had to handle a huge amount of palestinian refugees. Certainly Israel's invasion of Lebanon in the early 80s affected many inhabitants of Lebanon, not just palestinians

Lebanon has a weak government. I think you could compare it with a house owner who does not have the means to evict uninvited guests, where the guests are much stronger and more powerful than the owner. This is both because the country cons

In the first Lebanon war, Israel invaded Lebanon to strike against PLO. At this time, Hezbollah did not really exist, or was at least small and insignificant. It grew as a force in opposition of Israel's occupation.

The peace of Westfalia established state sovereignity. That is a cornerstone of international relations, and when it is breached it is usually condemned.

According to Jan Guillou, one of the best selling authors in Sweden - yes. He still types on an old-fashioned typewriter. Granted he is about 80 and grew up with them, but I can see that the constraints you have to live with are just to acc

Expect used to be one of the "big" tools at one point. O'Reilly books written about it and so on. But then it went to obscurity. Kind of strange.

Imagine something like this but having two USB inputs, one for the keyboard and one for your phone. Then your phone could inject passwords managed in the password manager in your phone. No need to keep them in the cloud. Unfortunately I don

Wow, wish I knew that last time I purchased my phone. I chose Samsung partly due to this promise.

Thank you for illustrating the problem with the Nix community so succintly. When someone brings up those words, I know immediately to distance myself from them.

I think this varies varies between countries. Sweden indeed has an almost (formally) powerless monarch. I think the UK has a monarch with some real power but that does not put it to use? And how Denmark, Netherlands, Norway etc fare on thi

Same dialog and divide exists here in Sweden. What some call illegal immigrants, others call paperless. So it is not a US-exclusive thing, and also here, the government have a hard time to execute deportions.

Similar language is a stretch. Sure, European languages have similar roots, if you go enough far back. But the ability to speak your native language with a fellow European of another nationality, and have a fluent conversation, is quite lim

I converted my regular bike with a Tongsheng motor. It probably is of less quality than Bosch, but I like the repairability aspects of this approach. Spare parts, instruction videos, modularity and lower price. It looks a bit uglier but has

What interests me is if this is a natural dip that will be followed by an upturn, or if something fundamentally has changed, and it will remain lower demand. Perhaps the AI boom will decrease the demand from now on. Waiting for better times

Yeah me too. When I started using Internet, I spent hours and hours on usenet. Text only, not an ad in sight.
