Everything everyone says they want from Apple as far as openness and ability to install and run any software they want is available on numerous Android and non-Android devices. The ability to install one’s own OS is available on numerous de

What about Apple's practices make the Librem less usable? They don't forbid developers selling versions of their apps on other platforms. They don't require exclusivity contracts with carriers or retailers. They don't co

If people in the EU wanted that, they can have it today. They can buy any number of cell phones from various manufacturers that they can install any version of android (or other OS if available) on it. Likewise they can buy the Pinephone, o

If it doesn't go to everyone, it fails the first descriptor "Universal". Never mind cutting off "those with jobs" would introduce all sorts of problems like we see with similar "benefit cliffs" for just ba

That seems pretty well covered by the article though. They explicitly say work for as long or as short a time as you are feeling good about. The only thing that's particularly rigid is that you have a fixed and rigid end time for the b

>however i disagree that an interruption at the door, or going out for errands counts as break time. I think there's two ways to look at this: 1) The breaks are relative to the work. If you're doing a given "job" for

How much actual computation is it really though? Especially compared to all the other computations happening hundreds of times per second to render the display at all? Also given that the shadow is part of the pen interaction, they're

It’s even more ridiculous when you learn that there is a prescription form of medical THC, fully legal and authorized under the FDA and DEA rules. And it’s a schedule III.

But what is it about Java errors specifically that make this a "java" problem as opposed to a "bad developers" problem? What makes "FileNotFoundException" more non-sensical to non programmers than "SEGFAUL

Not to be glib, but the "starving artist" has been a thing for a lot longer than AI (or even Apple) has been around. While I hope your daughter can indeed find a way to make a living from her passions if that's what she wants

Yeah, I have family and friends who are teachers, definitely aware that there's no time. Fundamentally the modern way we deal with education is broken. It's not even mostly the funding, but the way we try to measure it, package it

It's certainly possible that "blue curtains" specifically is a memetic reference that I've absorbed via osmosis, but the experience of having to analyze minute details to a ridiculous extent was very much a true one, reg

If you're into fiction, can I suggest looking for short story magazines in your preferred genre. Look novels are great and all, and I love devouring a book that really hooks into me, but the modern publishing landscape is full of 500+

For me as a kid who loved reading and fell out of it by the time I finished school (and then re-found that love decades later), the biggest contributing factor wasn't 30 minutes of reading for school. It was forced reading of books tha
