The Limits to Growth is (should be) an important concept in a small country with finite land resources. But the consequences, read external pressure, would have been too severe. Regarding ignorance/swayed. I think in much of the EU a

You can buy used Pixels, e.g. from 8a up. I'd claim that this is much more ecological than buying a new Fairphone. I suppose that a Pixel is of a higher quality and has less defects than a Fairphone (which changed the ODM several times

Organic Maps was founded by two of the Maps.Me authors ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_Maps#History ). With CoMaps I don't think, there are any original authors involved (?). In any case I prefer organic, th

While my common sense may be a collection of old prejudices, some have surely changed over time. I suspect that my opinions are informed and received. Reading newspapers, discussing things with friends, HN, books. A lot of influences. And

For me it's not about morality, anything goes afaic. My arguments were that biological men can enter women spaces, even though some women are not ok with that. Or compete in women's sports, violating fairness as male/female b

I disagree with the neutral language, this is what some people (including me) would call "woke agenda". Not all LGB people support the expansion to include TQ+ issues. Nor some of the side-effects e.g. women athletes forced to com

Maybe I could have left out the final remark. But I was quite astonished by the large amount of identity-focused language. The English Heritage Stonehenge job description (and the website) should use more neutral language.

DEI, "woke ideology". It is not ideology in a strict sense.

This article fails to mention GrapheneOS. The article starts with Murena, Punkt, Volla which are all based on Android. If you do this, then imho you must mention GrapheneOS, the by far better option (updates, privacy, security, organisation

Thanks for your reply. Only used PLA so far. But later I'll need "engineering parts", Nylon/PA12 or something like this. Strong, water and UV resistant, outdoor. It shouldn't be too complicated and not too expensive

As long as Onshape let THEIR servers work for MY public projects for free I don't see how your "make YOU pay more" statement applies.

Nice post. May I ask what you would buy instead (e.g. for the P1S)?

"They Built"... I wonder how a quite (formerly) formidable magazine like Wired can choose such a wrong title? Only one built.. Only one attacked...

I'll also pay and support their work to provide a really good browser (which needed a bit debloating).

The leadership is great. Persistent, patient and friendly. They were able to improve. I don't think many of the often negative and ad-hominem critics would be able to endure such a pressure as they had in the past.

I "fell" for Comaps but switched back to Organic Maps (where the original real good devs are). Comaps felt a bit too much like fork, "fabricate" nice media and beg for donations. Both are imho inferior to (non-foss) Magi

I was happy from the sideline seeing the recent big Zig donations. But this sudden decision is a shock. Technical issues can be worked around (I wish/think), but leaving such a dominant platform? I don't know. For my small small n

It makes a lot of sense for Germany to keep some independance from foreign proprietary cloud providers (Microsoft, Google); Money very well invested imo. It helps the local industry and data stays under German sovereignity. I find your &quo

This is not an alternative as it only covers files. Mind what is in the article: "I like what Nextcloud offers with its feature set and how easily it replaces a bunch of services under one roof (files, calendar, contacts, notes, to-do

You should be a bit more humble imo. An open source maintainer (author) is _not_ required to look at PRs. Besides, who wants to work with a (quote) "unreliable rightless russian troll backdoor vibecoder fake individual"? ...

Seems that you replied to my post. One can have another opinion about women/men than you (or Lynn) and still respect the other person. Deeply respect even. Your words were not friendly. I wish you well nevertheless!

Looks not bad but a) billing/prices should imho be prominent and not hidden behind trial or get started. And b) not sure if 5/12/20 per month is not too much? The About section is nice. (I use two other paid language services
