quarantine··on Rural Americans are importing tiny Japanese pickup trucks
The Citroën Berlingo really is one of the best cars they made
quarantine··on Nixos-unstable’s ISO_minimal.x86_64-Linux is 100% reproducible
Nix/Nixpkgs blocks unfree packages by default, so I presume it would be relatively easy to disable packages with the `unFree` attribute.
quarantine··on Docker as an Integrated Development Environment (2019)
As an added bonus, Nix can still easily output a container image for docker use containing the same shell environment.
quarantine··on Show HN: Svelte NodeGUI, a lightweight Electron alternative with native UI
I would say so. Just like GTK is native on GNOME but definitely not on Windows. "native" (to me) really just means whatever the system is designed for.
quarantine··on TikTok hit with consumer law breaches complaints across Europe
There is work underway to improve the cookie modal situation: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/proposal-epriv...

Please also remember that the GDPR is also applicable outside the internet, and protects people from IRL data gathering.

quarantine··on Show HN: Straw.Page – Extremely simple website builder
I'm currently building a website with this kind of rectangular design language and I'm really digging it.
quarantine··on Suspended from Google Play for listing supported subtitle formats
The Google play framework is closed source and used by most apps.
quarantine··on Show HN: Recurring reviews to track the whole lifecycle of a product
This paragraph might also just mean they use data from an organisation like Oxfam for example.
quarantine··on Show HN: Recurring reviews to track the whole lifecycle of a product
There seem to be filters for several ethical labels (vegan, fair trade, …)

If you filter by those and still find that this product has a shorter lifespan than comparable products then idk.

quarantine··on Dev Fonts
The Unicode arrow looks smaller and is positioned lower, while the ligature has the same size as -> with the dash extended into the 'arrow'. Not that I use this frequently.
quarantine··on Ask HN: Is an ARM-based laptop a viable development machine for a Backend dev?
If you do decide to go with Linux:

- Dell XPS (mac-like comes with Linux)

- Lenovo Thinkpad (excellent Linux support, as it is used by a lot of Linux devs)

- Any of the Linux CTO laptop builders (Librem, Tuxedo, ...) will have excellent support, but will not look as good as the Dell

- Anything else: YMMV, check the reviews.

quarantine··on Ranger: A console file manager with VI key bindings
I use neoranger to do exactly this.
quarantine··on Japan facing credit card number shortage
Why stop there? ipv6 license plates, citizen numbers, home addresses, part numbers, atoms, ...
quarantine··on Paragon submits 27k-line NTFS driver to Linux kernel
There's a ZFS driver for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
quarantine··on Scalable Bitmaps (2013)
Maybe we should also consider using / making a progressive enhancement image format. FLIF for example can be downloaded partially to get part of the fidelity. (Which, unlike other interlacing, increases ~linearly with size.) https://flif.info/
quarantine··on Ventoy: A new bootable USB solution
Or use something like rEFInd as intermediary firmware.
quarantine··on Single Page Applications using Rust
As a lot of less-than/greater-than tokens
quarantine··on UPI: India's Unified Payments Interface
This looks like a Bancontact/SEPA combination.
