NHR (the tax scheme that the parent is discussing) ended. If you didn't already move to Portugal under it, it's no longer available to you, so your question should really be in the past tense. NHR 2.0 offers much reduced benefits

I'm not moving to Lisbon, but my experience in that city aligns with your friends'. Other cities offer much better value for money and hold a lot more of the Portuguese culture intact. There are beautiful cities and towns all thro

I'm retiring alongside the move, so neither. I'll still be working on projects and companies but money doesn't factor into what I choose to work on.

I'm moving from California to Portugal this week. I get to retire much earlier with low-cost healthcare and a cost of living lower relative to CA, and the Portuguese people I've met have all been wonderful. The food is great too!

https://furilabs.com/ It runs a modified Debian and can run Android apps in containers. To my knowledge this is the closest we come to "open-source phone that actually works as a phone" today.

D&D had a massive player revolt a while back in response to WOTC (at the requirement of Hasbro) trying to take ownership over everything players create in the D&D universe, breaking their long-standing promise to all of those creato

Presumably employees were unhappy. It's rare that unions spring up when everyone is treated well and paid fairly. I can't speak to this particular group, but Hasbro (parent company of WOTC) has been a horribly short-sighted stewar

Exactly right. There's no issue more important to me than safety for the most vulnerable minority populations. This is a deal-breaker issue. I won't touch their laptops again.

It seems feasible to use a small/cheap model to flag possible vulnerabilities, and then use a more expensive model to do a second-pass to confirm those, rather than on every file. Could dramatically reduce the total cost and speed up t

Sourcehut. Uses the same email-based patch workflow as Linux. Takes an hour to learn, and they have helpful guides: https://git-send-email.io/ . No JavaScript.

I tried it on my iPhone 13 mini. I believe the model you get changes depending on your phone specs. For me it downloaded a ~1.3GB model which can speak in complete sentences but can’t do much beyond that. Can’t blame them though—that model

To the author I’d recommend a Casio Oceanus. The same tech as a G-Shock (solar, atomic, Bluetooth) with the polish of a Grand Seiko at 20% of the price. Better to get one in Japan as the US retailers charge a lot more. Found that I prefer m

One way to improve things could be to charge for each new account signup if you don’t have an invite from an existing member that vouches for you. Spamming when you risk losing $5-20 per account raises the cost substantially. Invites could

After a decade of writing go, I always wrap with the function name and no other content. For instance: do c: edit b: create a: something happened For functions called doC, editB, createA. It’s like a stack trace and super easy to find the c

Are they rare? Aren’t credit unions worker cooperatives? Insurance is often structured this way, and I’ve heard of farmer collectives too. I have a worker cooperative grocery store nearby. I do photography as a hobby and there’s all kinds o

This is interesting because it’s also one of SQLite’s monetizations. SQLite is in the public domain, but you need a commercial license to access their TH3 test harness with 100% branch coverage used to validate SQLite on different platforms

Please do that too! There aren’t great open-source search engines, so I’m moving from one proprietary option to the next. But there are great, open-source browsers already, and I refuse to go backwards. If a good, open-source search engine

It seems weird to run a closed-source browser on an open-source operating system when so many open alternatives exist—I certainly wouldn’t do it, and I’m a Kagi customer. Does Kagi plan to open-source Orion on Linux?

That's why you'd want to be able to replace the mainboard, screen, keyboard, speakers, trackpad, etc., and not just the RAM. Like https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform , but presumably easier for non-tech

You promoted Omarchy repeatedly on Twitter (much moreso than other distros) and DHH repeatedly promoted Framework in kind. You sent DHH a development device for Omarchy. It's worth noting that DHH is also the chair of the board of the

Simply say, "we didn't realise how controversial DHH was, and we will focus our donations/marketing/sponsorships on other projects in the FOSS ecosystem going forward." The fact Framework hasn't done this in th
