> Despite illegal immigration making up just a fraction of net migration to Europe, recent weeks have seen Poland’s ruling parties rehashing anti-immigrant strategies…

Poland accepted over 1.5 million refugees in 2022. The author of this piece obviously has no idea what they are talking about.

menshiki··on Not setting up Find My bricked my MacBook
If OP used their real name as the account name then I guess it wouldn't be that difficult. Otherwise no idea.
menshiki··on Not setting up Find My bricked my MacBook
Damn... I feel stupid for not knowing that. I've never used a Mac that was not tied to my Apple ID so I guess that's why.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Conflicted about my FAANG work place
How much freedom do you have at work? Is there something that stops you from learning/exploring new things besides boredom?

Also, regarding creating your own startup, do you have any VC friends? How would you like to get funding for it? Network is important.

> The stranger wiped my MacBook, set it up for themselves, and turned on Find My

How would the stranger know your MacBook's password. Unless it was a very simple password, I don't think this option is very likely.

menshiki··on Ask HN: Do I need psychological help?
Sounds like you're extremely burned out. I believe the answer to your question is yes.
menshiki··on Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
I would rather shoot myself than say "Hey Meta" in public.
menshiki··on Tell HN: macOS Bartender disables features, forcing users to buy license again
I also recommend Dozer. Been using the app for years and it has never caused me any issues.
menshiki··on Hush – Noiseless Browsing for Safari
I've been using Hush literally since it came out. Love it.
menshiki··on Ask HN: What's Your Desktop Background?
I usually use some of the old OS X wallpapers. My favorite one is probably the one that came with 10.4 Tiger.

All MacOS/OS X wallpapers are available in 5K and 6K resolutions here: https://512pixels.net/projects/default-mac-wallpapers-in-5k/

>display full fat MacOS

That will never happen. iPadOS though... You never know.

menshiki··on TikTok Shop
They assumed that if it works in China, it will work in the US as well.
menshiki··on Ask HN: What is the most exciting thing you have learnt this year till now?
Not an achievement at all considering we are on HN, but earlier this year I made my first website. It’s just a little personal site that’s hosted on GitHub pages. It’s a skill I’ll definitely utilize again in the future so I’m quite happy about it :).
menshiki··on Facebook users have less than a month to claim a piece of the $725M settlement
I was wondering the exact same.
menshiki··on Can head hair density ever increase?
The last time I went to Turkey every other foreign guy that stayed at the same hotel as me has just gone through a hair transplant. Guess that's how it happens.
menshiki··on Threads, an Instagram app
WeChat is so much more than just a messaging app. This is a common misconception when comparing WeChat and Whatsapp. The functionality of those two is not even remotely comparable.
menshiki··on Threads, an Instagram app
Meta does not have the support of legislators. The EU would regulate any service that would even aspire to become a Western WeChat way before they have any chance to succeed.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Best non-crypto non-personal-home investment you ever made and why?
Companies that I believe are exceptional at what they do. Those investment usually take a few years to yield.

So far I got the best return on TSMC shares. I bought them way before the Intel to Arm transition, I believe that's when many realized the potential of the company. TSMC also pays decent dividends. Others in my portfolio that did great - Apple, Amex, Visa, BRK.B.

menshiki··on Why Apple doesn't want you to play games on Mac
What hardware would those game run on? M1 and M2 are great but can they run AAA desktop games? I doubt it.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Why does Apple refuse to add window snapping to macOS?
The best episode of my favorite podcast ever.
menshiki··on Not that kind of “open”: The anti-Meta fedi pact
If I were to create a public real-life community, would I be happy to invite people who are known for being toxic, associate with political extremism, or simply would not fit with the present state of the community? Would I invite a giant corporation with billions of dollars that could potentially have devastating effects on my community? I don't think I would.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Recommendations for a New Domain Registrar?
Had a domain with them for 2-3 years, every year they rise the price by $1-2.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Recommendations for a New Domain Registrar?
Cloudflare Registrar has the best prices since they literally don't make any money on selling domains. They also fulfill all your requirements. I recently transferred my domain from Hover to Cloudflare. No issues and I can save some money. Hover is fine but their prices have been getting more and more expensive.
menshiki··on Ask HN: What are some life optimization tricks you have discovered?
Most people have no idea what they are doing. Yes, this does include adults in high-level positions with money and/or influence.
menshiki··on Ask HN: What Do You Pay For?
I don't need much.

- Apple Music, TV+, iCloud (less than $4 a month)

- Xbox Game Pass (probably around $40 a year)

menshiki··on Ask HN: Rest Doesn't Help with Burnout
> I work onsite, but my team is remote, which makes it hard to develop any friendships at work.

I think this may be the core issue. You are in a new country with what it seems like not many opportunities to develop deeper connections. To me your conditions sounds more like adjustment disorder.

I was in a similar situation like you before and focusing on developing deep emotional connections with people around me helped tremendously. It's hard to be productive at work when there is little balance in one's personal life.

Also, do you actually like your job? What is your goal when it comes to this position? Would you be a happier person if you did something different? These are the question that you may consider.

menshiki··on Ask HN: Will the Apple Vision Pro only allow app-store apps?
Unless the EU forces Apple to do it differently.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Do you think the future of social media looks like Discord/Reddit?
Did all of you forget that TikTok exists and is vastly more popular than anything mentioned in this thread? How can you talk about the future of social media and disregard gen z?
menshiki··on Ask HN: I have 176 logins/accounts. How many do you have?
Over 100 in my password manager. I use log in with Apple wherever possible. If a website does not matter and does not support Oauth with Apple, I will use Google.
menshiki··on Ask HN: Where do you find interesting papers to read?
This is a good approach. It is basically how all literature reviews are done in academia.
