Can someone please give a little bit more context for people out of the loop? It’s confusing to understand who stands for what (board of .uk, that company, the ex BBC dude) and what is/was going on.

I mean its two different things: Nokia a mega corp (at the time) and Pine64 (a few hardware enthusiasts + small overworked dev community). I get your frustrations and as a PinePhone owner myself I would not consider it anywhere near usable

1/8 km = 0.125km = 125m = 12500cm So freaking what. Use decimals and you can easily convert anything into everything. And you don’t have to rely on those few cases where you can exactly divide. 6.8m = 680cm = 0.0068km, etc. Who writes

Can someone do something against theverge‘s stupid (and non GDPR-conformant) „I accept“ cookie and tracking banner that takes up one third of the space on mobile? This grinds my gears so much.

Come on. Those are three separate actions of which the last one is to "confirm" the deletion in a modal dialoge. Hardly the same as one command in the CLI. Also if that would really happen, you can go into the trash folder and res

Why would that be? In countries with universal health care (which would be pretty high up on the regulation scale) costs for medical procedures are significantly lower. [0] Americans have to understand that they are drastically overpaying f

Oh thank you, that is good to know. Sadly before ordering a server from the sb, I cannot see the exact HDD models. It just says if it is or isn't the enterprise version and that is it, e.g. like: "2x HDD SATA 2,0 TB Enterprise&quo

Regarding sever hosting: Hetzner has a very attractive server auction on their website [0]. For about 30€ you can get several terrabytes with a fast cpu and plenty of RAM. No set-up fee either. These are unmanaged dedicated root servers. Ba

I tried this a few years ago when I was younger and more optimistic. But man it was not a great experience. Having said that I think there is still room for modern shells which are easier to script in. For a while I am using fish and though
