Thanks for the context! Are there some sources you (or someone with twitter account) could provide to this?

Kinda reminds me of this saga (lots of foul language ahead)

I have read at least a dozen strips of Dinosaur Comics, but only one at a time. (Mostly end up there through the link on xkcd)

Until I read your comment I have never noticed that the artwork of the strips is indeed exactly the same and only the text differs between strips. Wonderful stuff!

Check out Sailfish OS [1]. With the paid version you can also run Android apps. A good review of the os [2].

Congrats on the launch! Very nice project.

Do you have any estimation of what percentage of passenger train traffic is currently displayed vs. still to be implemented? As others have mentioned, I also was little bit surprised of the (small?) amount of trains on the map.

This link has been discussed earlier in [0], Chat Control posts that have gained traction are for e.g. [1] and [2]. Patrick Breyer has a good summary and timeline of this proposal and its history [3]

Indeed. Subheading of the proposal is "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse".

The subheading of the proposal is, not surprisingly, "laying down rules to prevent and combat child sexual abuse". Nowadays it seems that every privacy-demolishing law that is proposed is a some form of "Think of the children" [0].

Worked well on my Android`s Vanadium browser (chromium based).

I also have been using since beta, and agree with you. For me, the ability to boost and block certain domains is a killer feature. (There are probably solutions for other services, but to have it built-in is great.)

For developer-related queries I`m pleased with the results!

Saunas filled with stuff like warehouses arouse unpleasant feelings in me, and sometimes actually offend :D

I guess I'm a sensitive Finn :)

Some music starting to play in background would definitely be great. Btw, I just tried both endel and brainfm and both required me to sign up before i could listen to any music.

Agreed! It has taken me so much time to get accustomed to Finder. Often it is just the command line and then `open <path>`if finder is needed.

There are some shortcuts to make Finder usage more enjoyable:

- Shift+Command+H go to Home

- Command+Up go to parent folder

- Command+Down go in to selected folder

- Shift+Command+G go to written path

Also Option+Command+P toggles "Path Bar" at the bottom of the window

Yeah, no.

Anyone could build furniture without any licenses.

It's like anyone can be a salesman, but the more serious consequences something has, more regulation there is for selling it.

Regulation based on consequences already exists in IT sector as others have stated in this thread.

Missed your post before commenting my own recommendation below, but definitely second this!

Recommend checking out the SailfishOS[0] by Jolla. I have daily driven it on Xperia XA2 and XA10 II and it works "well enough" and is mostly open [1]. I have bought the OS so the phone has Android app support. This review resembles my experiences well [2].

E: I noticed that currently purchasing SailfishOS from outside ofl Europe is "prohibited" according to the purchase page. That is a bummer for non-europeans.

> Typically something that is of "public interest", e.g the highest earners.

Oh okay, so then it is pretty similar than in Finland!

Interesting to read about the Norway's system! I would guess that "If you search for anyone, they can see that you did" is pretty fair but can hinder one's curiosity for searching the information.

Also interesting that public lists for media is no longer distributed. How have media outlets taken this?

Here in Finland Tax office publishes lists of all over 100k earners to media and they are published as public lists online [0]. In addition to that, anyone's income information can be accessed at tax offices or by phone, so this does not leave a trace [1].

After GDPR, one is allowed to prevent one's information to be released to media by objecting to this. However media can still access and release your data via phone or tax office's computer [2] and in 2021 media outlets won a case in Administrative Court where they can also get a list of those who objected [3]. So basically after tax records go public, journalists just take this list and make the calls.

But yeah, as SP mentioned, this is very different approach than in the link of this thread.

IMHO greatness comes from the community.

A mental checklist when looking for one (not necessarily in this order)

  Need:
  - good internet
  - own desk
  - place to securely store laptop after hours
  - fridge
  -  phone booth / meeting room

  Plus:
  - coffee, tee etc.
  - tableware, washing machine, someone to operate it
  - 24/7 access
  - printing

This is definitely one of the bigger downsides of remote work, so I fully agree.

My work consists of ~30% of meetings and ~5% of phone calls. We have a rule with my "roommates" that short calls (< 30 min) can be made without leaving the room. Luckily for me these are mostly internal (and non-confidential) ones.

If it is a customer meeting, then I go to a phone booth that has a standing desk, and for longer ones I book a meeting room where the setup is little bit better.

In previous co-working space was this big hall and distance between tables was something like 5 to 10 meters (15-30 ft.) and almost everyone made their calls on their desks, even though phone booths and meeting rooms were available.

One's mileage may of course greatly vary :)

Before pandemic I started working remotely and soon noticed that, like OP, working alone doesn't suit me.

I solved this by joining a co-working hub that offers offices to remote workers / entrepreneurs. My employer pays for the hub membership.

I drive to our offices around once a month, but rest of the time I sit in a room with an accountant and gym owner. They are fun to chat and go to lunch with but they don't interrupt me with work related things.

As a bonus I get to meet and hang with professionals in many different areas and I find that really satisfying.

If I change company I work for, I just get the new employer to pay for the office. If I need to move, I prefer cities that have this kind of co-working place.

This is quite doable, here in Finland at least and while it has some downsides, it has worked for me!

There is the world of Hello Ruby [0], book(s) and other learning material translated into 20 languages. I think they are for younger kids. There is also some material for teachers.

Thank you!

That was short one:

- Phosphene found

- We don't know how it could naturally occur in Venus without life

- We don't know any life that could survive in so that acidic environment (toughest microbes in earth survive 5%, Venus's atmosphere has 90%)

- We need to send a probe to test

Quite many people are unhappy with their newer Macbook experiences! Sad to see the quality drop in Apple products.

I'll add mine to the list:

My 2012 MacBook Air has been my favourite laptop I used it for five years and my parents two after that. One of the best 700 hundred euros (student discount) I've spent. Then for my work I got previously used ~2014 MBP it worked well. Solid "Apple quality". Then I got an "upgrade" (i think it was 2018 MBP) and it was the most unpleasant experience I have yet to have with computers. Luckily I didn't have to pay for it, but still - so many problems that are unacceptable for any laptop. It really got me out of the Apple fanboy train.

- Keyboard didn't work if the computer got too hot (which it did) - Some buttons didn't properly as dust or some particles got under them - Same problems with the trackpad than the article writer - Don't even get me started with the touchbar (why?!) - Battery life disappointed as I was expecting it to atleast compare with the 2020 Air's (of course my expectations might have been the problem here) - If external monitors were hooked up and you woke up the laptop there as 25% that it froze completely and you had to reboot

The laptop got sent to maintenance - they dusted the keyboard but other problems persisted. After one year of that pain I went back to studying and bought used Thinkpad X220 and installed Arch. That is now my favourite computer!

Last month I bought XPS 13 for programming since x220's CPU doesn't support virtualization. It runs manjaro and is like 2014 MBP was - does the job really well. After finally going full into Linux world I wonder if I'll ever come back.

Yeah. To each of their own, but I was actually surprised that the verdict in the end was "When combined with an iPhone it makes for an unbeatable user experience."

I loved Macs after using my 2012 Air for five years (my parents used it until last year) and MBP 2015 for work. Then they got me MPB 2018 and that was enough Apple for me. It was absolutely terrible. I don't care how many times I have to reinstall Arch to my Dell XPS 13, it's still a better experience.
