Yep, I’m a big fan. It’s definitely an acquired taste, though.

It’s still legal tender so they have to accept it. They don’t like it, but they do. Last time I visited Norway I held up the line at the grocery store trying to buy candy with cash that had been gifted to me. I’m not sure the cashier knew what to do with it.

Edit: many people telling me they are not required. From what I could find, cash is still “tvunget betalingsmiddel”, but there are some broad exceptions. Ref. So, I don’t think I was out of line expecting to pay cash at the grocery store. However, that was the only time I paid cash when I visited last time, so yeah, it’s basically cashless already.

My thinking is this is not an effort to remove ballots, but to generate doubt about the results as well as create a pretext to restrict voting by mail in the future

This needs to go viral and be posted in reviews for every monitor with this “feature”. Heck, make a convenient warning icon indicating “adware” for such reviews so I can scroll past them faster.

No way I’m risking buying a TV or monitor from LG after seeing this. It would go right back in the box to be returned.

Yep. And for very good reasons, as explained in the article. But knowing that domains can be a significant source of income for a small nation, it does seem a shame to both waste that resource and break tons of sites in the process. I wish there were better ways to do this that didn’t mean shutting it down or even selling it off to the highest bidder (who already has enough money).

I doubt this will happen, but they should just reassign it to the Mauritius authority. The citizens of the islands could then potentially see some benefit from it, not Google or ICANN or whoever selflessly offers to take it over.

Try turning the phone to landscape mode before tapping the full screen button. It works for me in YouTube on Pixel 7a.

For those not in the US: it may be covered, but normally it’s a separate insurance plan and not covered by your regular health insurance.

It also varies what type of “dental” care. Some mouth/gum surgeries may be covered by the health plan. I think most dental plans cover checkups. All this varies wildly with your employer and insurance election, though.

Everywhere I’ve worked it didn’t matter if I used my equipment or theirs. All IP I created while employed there was the property of my employer. If you’re in the USA, check your contracts.

Sounds like great incentive for Zuck to do everything in his power to make sure Trump doesn’t get reelected.

Excellent point. I had forgotten about this. I work for a non profit so I’m ok, but yes you should absolutely check the terms of the license before using. On the upside, almost everything is markdown files in regular folders, so you can fall back to vim anytime.

I don’t know if this will work for you, and I’m not sure if you’re only looking for TUI editors, but Obsidian has vi key bindings and a lot of plugins.

Disclaimer: I have not tried the vi key bindings in Obsidian.

Another one I use is vscode. It has a ton of markdown plugins and vi key bindings. It also has a nice preview window.

I second this. If you’re only printing occasionally, ink tends to dry out, while toner will still be good.

What are some good alternatives if it gets shut down? Preferably FOSS.

That’s probably what it is. I didn’t go to school in the US but my kids went to school in Ohio and my impression was that metric was not the primary system of units used in education, though it was taught.

The argument I hear most often from people defending the US customary units is that the units are more intuitive. For example, an inch is about the size of a thumb, or 0 degrees is fucking cold and 100 is fucking hot.

On the whole, people seem receptive to metric, but don’t want the hassle or cost to convert. They seem content to use metric where it’s important (science, military) and keep the old ways elsewhere.

I currently with in healthcare research and almost everything not patient facing is done in metric, but there are still conversions going on everywhere, leading to data problems that are hard to correct later. People used to thinking in ounces putting those where grams were supposed to go, and so on.

Did you go to school in the 70s or 80s? I don’t think it’s like that anymore.

Another Darknet Diaries fan here. Very approachable, centered around cyber security and privacy. It’s the only one I am currently listening to, but I am going to check out some of the others from this thread.

What do you mean? RedHat even used to come with an installer localized in their language.

It really depends on how much you can tolerate. I don’t know if full time is 40 hours in Germany like it is in the US.

If you have an option to try it for some time and fall back to plan B, why not do that? Then you can tell if the money is worth the extra work time.
