L'État, c'est moi

This administration is not standing up for the principles of free speech. It has violated this principle numerous times in action and in spirit.

The docker-compose syntax ist valid for compose/v1 which was last updated in 2021. yet this article is from 2025. is vibe-docing now a thing also?

I'm honestly curious what those methods may be and what the the target audience for this propaganda is? You're mentioning that average Americans would not notice, so is this American propaganda targeted at Americans?

Deterrence works. That's why the cold war is remembered as the cold war and not the hot war. Zelensky knows this while Trump is publicly taking all leverage (NATO membership, security guaranties) off the table while the Russians have not even started negotiating - and why would they? Trump is doing all their work for them

HN didn't fall victim to the reality tv star's antics. The audience he's trying to impress has fallen victim to the believe that the antics of a reality tv star make for a good president.

Why have a functional government if instead you and your buddies can you benefit from contracting out?

Based off my experience you should start using org-mode if you either

a) have too much time or b) have too little time

a) because I found it to be quite a time-consuming to set up a configuration that adapts to my needs (event though I restrict myself to note taking and managing todos all from one file) and b) it is such an amazing tool for keeping all my notes and todos in reach within seconds

Dont get a HP+ printer. HP printers come in two fashions. A plain version and a HP+ one. While the hardware is the same the former are slightly more expensive and, the latter require you to use HP+. You can tell which is which by the product code (HP+ have their product code end on an _e_)

Measured by the standards of the printer industry I was pleasantly surprised to see HP posting the online requirements very clearly on their website: - Internet Access (the German version is even stronger on that requiring „constant internet access“ - A HP Account

Actually, the raise is 0.75%p (percentage points). Not 0,75% as the headline states

On a somewhat related note: It was only last week the guys over at pin64 have announced the release of their keyboard-case for the PinePhone (https://www.pine64.org/2021/12/31/happy-new-year-the-keyboar...)

Now even though this might (as of yet) be an non-perfect substitute for a consumer-ready phone it still goes to show that reports of the death of smartphones featuring a physical keyboard are (greatly) exaggerated. So if you're in the market for a physical keyboard and want to support the development of a FOSS-driven smartphone this may be for you.

note: I have no affiliation with pine64 whatsoever, just a tad nostalgia mixed with the hopes of loosening google/apple stranglehold of the mobile market

I _really_ enjoyed building and playing with LEGO as a kid but lost interest in it as I grew older. I remember having started but never finishing a kit from the technic series and whenever I see such a set I'm wondering what exactly is it (adult) LEGO enthusiasts are you getting out of building/owning such a set? Below are some reasons I can think of, none of which I find personally convincing enough to start building such a kit, so I'm hoping someone can share their perspective on this matter

The challenge of completing a complex puzzle? Building something that pleases you aesthetically? The desire to find out how stuff works by rebuilding simplified mechanical toys? Having a toy you can just play with? Having a collectible item?

This, but not "only" privacy.

It will be interesting to see how the larger issue of "ownership" is going to play out in an iCar (TM) world . Considering that you may still legally own the car but you're only licensing out your car manufacturer's software, it doesn't take much imagination of getting physically restrained by your cars' over the air capabilities:

- Missed an installment on your lease/financing plan? -> Grounded - Took your car in for service at an non-authorized shop? (think Apple disabling third party charging equipment) -> Grounded - (Some malicious actor injecting ransomware -> Grounded)

Never mind the metaverse. Given that facebook (meta) is in the business of selling your meta-data to the highest bidder, the name appears to be spot-on.
