you are right, it seems to be more zoom issue than font issue (or combo since I don't really experience this elsewhere, which is why I mentioned it), if I zoom out to 90% it becomes normally readable, but at default 100% zoom it is malformed unreadable (btw. I use 225% Windows 10 scaling at 2560x1440)

Have you read the book or your kids just read it without you knowing what is it about?

This book says basically - no biggie, there is no death, you commit suicide to move to another level to be with your brother, you can't lose him, you have infinite lives in this videogame called Life. And what if I F up the next level? no biggie, you just commit suicide again to be with him, there is no such thing as permanent death/separation from your loved ones, after each death you just move to another level. That's really F up thing to teach small kids, who should know death is permanent.

I read it this year to kids and the book says basically - no biggie, there is no death, you commit suicide to move to another level to be with your brother, you can't lose him, you have infinite lives in this videogame called Life.

And what if I F up the next level? no biggie, you just commit suicide again to be with him, there is no such thing as death, after each death you just move to another level.

So there is no risk at all you will lose your brother/relative, very F up thing to teach the kids, exactly opposite from what should make them scared of dying which is PERMANENT and there is no next level, where you can be with your family again.

I like some of her books, but I am quite annoyed with kids most of the time coming from poor families with missing father/mother, it's like she couldn't write a book without some tragedy, of course the most famous Emil of Lönneberga and The Six Bullerby Children are from normal families (there is probably reason why these are the most famous and beloved), but already Pippi Longstocking is pretty F-ed up and don't get me started on The Brothers Lionheart, which is glorifying suicide and should be really banned for kids under 15, certainly not appropriate for 9yo, though I read it to my younger kid with appropriate commentary.

Not really (unless it was at least recently a different country), I wouldn't call what ETA or IRA were doing a war, Google calls it (separatist) campaign and I tend to agree, though first words which came to my mind were separatist movements and terrorism (though I can see their reasoning).

With Palestine vs Israel I would tend to call it a war since Palestine's own country was taken and it is occupied by different artifically created country, so I would say it is two countries at war.

The European Union should make social media platforms change instead of banning children from using the apps, Estonia's digital minister told AFP Monday, just over a week before the EU is due to announce an age limit.

Estonia has been a lone voice in opposing the EU's plans to restrict children's access to social media, instead calling for online platforms to change.

EU chief Ursula von der Leyen is expected to announce a social media ban on September 16, with officials saying an age limit of 13 or 15 is under discussion.

But IT-savvy Estonia argues the tech giants have prime responsibility for making their popular platforms safer for minors.

"As children are members of the information society, it's actually the platforms who should change," Estonian Justice and Digital Affairs Minister Liisa-Ly Pakosta said.

"The best interests and rights of the child must guide platforms' design, and that is useful for the whole society," she said in a video interview.

Pakosta pointed to the EU's content law known as the Digital Services Act (DSA) as one way for the bloc to demand platforms change.

She argues for instance that the EU's recommendations for platforms under the DSA to protect children online should be made legally binding.

The EU has already deployed the law to probe Meta's Facebook and Instagram as well as TikTok, and told the platforms to change their "addictive" designs.

I think I can live without my connection to asphalt, concrete, dirt, broken glass and literal shit while living in the city, which has nothing to do with nature.

It is not going to happen, because pretty much all major phone makers have exemption since their battery has still enough capacity after 2 years of use to be eligible for exemption.

I would take the Chechnya away from that list, you can't be in war with yourself, Chechnya is part of Russia.

I was considering it, but:

too expensive (the good ones)

too noisy

requires canvas for good experience

requires dark enviroment for good experience

requires either wiring on ceiling/wall and drilling or extra furniture under TV (short throw)

double power consumption over TV

the only benefit really is the size, but nowadays you can buy 65-75" TV which is already pretty huge depending on your room, so I fail to see argument for projector unless you need super large screen which you intend to watch from big distance/outdoors in very late evening

Apple Weather (followed by Xweather (formerly Aeris Weather)) seems the most accurate forecast for Prague when it comes to TP/FP for rain in Prague by my long term experience when I compared multiple data sources

> too many cars

they are probably right and I can certainly bet my money there are way way more cars in small EU country than there were 30 years ago (assuming you had her at least at 30, if later, then the difference will be even starker)

my kids school is ~1.1km walk, son is walking to/from school by himself maybe from 3rd grade (8.5yo) with classmate(s), I still walk my 4th grade (8yo) daugher to school in the morning (unreliable/inconsistent slow classmate living nearby), at least I get some exercise working from home (if I didnt have time to walk them and help them with backpacks I would probably let them go by themselves earlier)

the main reason I still walk her is crossing the road, because I consider Prague roads dangerous even for adult pedestrian, let alone for kid, too many crazies driving here cars

other big reason is heavy backpack when they have to lug tons of books/workbooks

on the way back they go home either with classmates or together already for years, used to pick them up only in 1st and maybe 2nd grade

Wait till you learn about proplifting...

> Not being able to pretend you “found them on the ground” is probably better stopped than the problem of children really finding things on the ground.

Oh, I thought "Innocent until proven guilty" was concept known even in US, but apparently it didn't arrive there yet.

Yeah, I think I will stick with redirectors to working instance anyway, seems like safer option than stick with one specific instance.

I was just clarifying distinction between brands since they can have a litle bit different approach to preinstalled apps and ads, the chaper the model the more lieky to have ads and preinstalled apps, though in times of RN3 Pro they were pretty much same, the MIUI was already bloated back then which was actually bigger problem than nowadays since HW was weaker than now, when the bloated system doesn't matter that much, but yeayh, in that times there were less 3rd party apps preinstalled, but already at that time I used Lineage or other custom ROM to replace bloated MIUI

It's nice, but it won't change anything, there will be always someone willing to do it. It's not exactly trolley problem, where maybe significant majority could agree on not training AI.

> Traditionally, this decision was made by humans, but now AI has taken over, and decides who gets hired

Btw. this would be illegal in EU, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing.

I think it is impossible job to achieve accurate data across so many countries, you can rely on some EU wide data from their datasets but they don§t really show true picture of the prices since each statistical bureau measures them little bit differently despite they should follow same standards, it will be always only very rough comparison

it's like saying US has lowest income taxes compared to EU coutnries, but it won't tell you the whole picture what is paid from all those taxes you contribute in Europe, so in the end if you take into consideration all the things you will get for money you pay it can be very different if you have to pay everything extra with low taxes vs high taxes but many things included for free

I am getting:

Not Found

questionable data sources which wont tell you the real prices, for instance N95 in Tank Ono station in Prague today cost 1.729EUR (41.5CZK)

same with groceries where statistical bureaues usually report some average prices nobody use to buy things for, when everyone buys all groceries in promotion and price in promotion vs regular price can be very different thing in different countries, so countries which have smaller difference between regular and promo price will appear cheaper, while countries where promo prices are much lower than regular prices will appear more expensive

big mac price you show in Czechia in local currency 115 CZK, while the real price is 125 CZK, I checked both restaurants nearby my house

redmi note 3 pro ain't xiaomi though, but redmi, I still have one, though physical buttons are gone

but anyway I though you are talking about different bloat, like system bloated with features and Xiaomi apps, if we talk about preinstalled apps in general then yes, there are more of them, but same goes even for "clean" Pixel ROMs, all phones have in general way more apps than they used to

as for the apps, honestly never seen an app in Xiaomi system, just disable bunch of options in settings and you are good, doesnt require much hacking, just regular user available settings

if you dont like useless apps, especially the ones from Xiaomi, you can disable them through Shizuku + Canta, though need to be careful, some can cause bootloop, so always read description

I still don't understand whether this affects me if I have Google Play Store disabled and Google Play Protect disabled, will still affect me if I have Google Play Services enabled or do I have to disable them, install what I want and then reenable them? Sounds like quite stupid workflow, though not too worrysome.

as Nova Launcher user for more than 10 years I can recommend Lawnchair Launcher, no issues with switching or missing features

https://lawnchair.app

there is no point recommending Nova Launcher for years, it is like recommending QuickPic...

good luck with HN title length limit, I dont understand why is length limit so low, I have to edit almost all my submissions

everything worked for me in Cromite and Firefox

I find Organic Maps working perfectly fine

as email client I would suggest abandoned Nine Mail, works fine without gapps

Weawow is great weather app with plenty of sources to choose fom

don't really understand your complaints, seems like you are using some slow budget motorola phone which is causing issues like Organic Maps you mention

btw. I dont have any banking apps either, I am perfectly fine with everywhere using bank card and just in case I carry small cash in wallet, if I need to send money I can do it from computer where I sit most of the days anyway, why would I be doing it somewhere outside apartment? that's like trimming your nails outside apartment, sure you can do it, but why it wouldn't wait for home?

that's just not truth, MIUI was always bloated, but Xiaomi had great VFM + unlockable bootloader so nobody cared, nowadays is very difficult to unlock the bootloader, though you can achieve similar result with Shizuku and other tools which take advantage of Shizuku, the VFM ain't that good anymore, same goes for now discontinued OnePlus

the whole article is unreadable, so I will write here my whole article with same content in headline:

"How to debloat your Xiaomi phone: Install Shizuku + Canta and read Canta descriptions"

that's all, much shorter and better readable than that horrible website
