Well the reason apple trees make apples is actually that someone can eat them, and then ideally poop out the seeds so that a new tree can grow. But that is literally their purpose.

> So people should make their own choices about the products they buy? A little, yeah. Buy and don't use: your problem. Buy and can't use because I can't change the battery: subject to regulation. We can't stop anyone from making dumb monetary decisions, but we can stop products not being repairable.

I on the other hand love it. I am often out without my phone closeby and having a way to take notes with one hand during some activity would be great.

My main concern here is that i live in an area that regularly get's below -20° and my electronic devices are regularly dying around me. And while I try to keep my hands warm-ish, they do get cold sometimes, and it would suck if a non replaceable battery died on me early because of this.

Then don't buy it? I'm not buying these toys, and why would I?

Hearing aids have had replaceable batteries since they were invented basically. I still remember my grandma 20 years ago fiddling with the small batteries, so that really is not a problem.

Me too, i hate that I would have to throw out a fully functioning device if the battery dies.

I really like the thought and the format, but I do not like that I can't change the battery. Even if it is not easy, I still think there should be a way to change the battery.

It's still easier to turn around a ring than to fiddle with a a phone. And more legal as well, no laws against rotating a ring while rinding your bike. That's fully haptic, no is drawn from traffic for that.

Why do you need all of these tabs open? How do you find what you need?

I want to preface this by saying that I use almost only signal, but I do get the appeal. Walking out of the house and switching from wifi to mobile is so smooth, signal always takes a hot minute to reconnect, but with facetime (and for that matter meet and whatsapp video calls) you barely get a stutter. For the most part it really is a "it just works" solution whereas signal sometimes feels a little klunky. I don't mind, but I get that people value that.

While they can go in the organic waste bins, they still get sorted out at the end because they don't degrade fast enough.

And I would hazard a guess that the dentist was also only mildly impressed by the smell

While sauerkraut fermentation uses salt, the main technique preserving the cabbage is the fermentation and sauerkraut is thus not super salty (about 1% of the weight is salt)

Don't worry, they are still alive, the swedish crime statistics website still uses them [0]. It's a great experience for everyone.

In 2021 there were 51 Million tons of plastic waste produced in the US [0], which is about 150kg per person.

Burning that is creating between 264 and 750kg of CO2 per person and year, definitely not insignificant.

I'm not saying that big corporations are not responsible for a huge chunk of the emissions, but getting away from using so much plastic is not hurting.

I think the best thing is to just start. As you're not blogging, there is no one that knows what you need, you probably don't even know. But after you have started with whatever is easiest right now you might discover the things that you want from your blogging tool. Maybe you're happy, maybe you'll play around a bit.

One very important thing for me is to stop the tool from distracting myself from writing. I write simple markdown files that I then publish, there is nothing that I need to do that distracts me from writing (I still get distracted, but at least not by my blog). The writing is the main task, the publishing and everything around is tiny, so I can focus on what I want to do with my blog. Write.

(Just to get back to the point, choose whatever is easy to set up and easy to maintain and if you realize that the tool is not right for you just change it. (This of course works best when you use your own domain))

And also how searchable it is. The great thing with blogs for me is that I can relatively quickly skip to the part where the information is that I want, because usually I don't need all of it.

Maybe the difference is that you used O1 that has access to the internet, and the other users might not have.

There are ways that this would not happen. There are ways to not have cars and cyclists on the same level as each other for example, then you don't have to worry about that. Or just kick all the cars off the street.

I also have my own mailserver and I don't create new accounts, I have a wildcard filter that drops all emails that come to my domain in my inbox. This is of course only viable when you are the only person using the domain, but I just sign up with a new mail address every time I sign up, for example my hackernews account would be hackernews-acc@xx.com That way I have a clear differentiator for every domain.

> Is it? I'm no expert on parks, but surely some of them have borders along rivers. Many US states have such borders.

Depending on the country, but Australia has some [1]. I still think that there is a set of polygons that can be used to describe this border.

Not to argue against your point (I rarely get less than 4m of accuracy), but luckily

> but anywhere else, the accuracy isn't that great, especially around buildings. GPS accuracy is terrible in cities.

cities are (almost?) never in national parks.

Exactly. Represented as decimal numbers, we could also say that is only 0.0004 vs 0.0003, which looks like even less. Seeing that there is a 30% difference is the important thing here.

I once asked it to write a bit of code for me and it didn't give me the whole file and when I said: "please send the whole file" it said "I gave you the whole file, but here it is again" and then it gave me the whole file

I also really like JUMPY and INTER

Yep, same for me. But the restart fixes it every time. That's why I set a timer that reminds me to restart after 20+ days.

You could use something like this:

   find /tmp -type f -mtime +30 -delete

Damn, I have never seen a git contribution overview with so little missing days.

Do you have that video somewhere?
