I added Jellyfish and then Portuguese Man-o-war. It took the man o war, but crossed out Jellyfish and said "added a vaguer term", but a jellyfish and a man-o-war are discrete animals. The man-o-war is a colonial siphonophore compo

This looks neat, but has a lot going on. I really like how minimalist yet extensible lf [0] is and just use edir [1] to rename files in bulk. Gluing them both together is really easy too. - [0] https://github.com/gokcehan&#x

The body doesn't store protein in any real capacity. Fat is stored in adipose tissue and carbs in glycogen, but protein must be available in the bloodstream when needed for muscle maintenance and synthesis. Even if you up your dietary

Redundant? Smart watches exist and camera (phones) exist. They're both worse off today in the repair department _by design_, not coincidence or necessity. I still have both (non smart versions) I use specifically because of their repai

You need the phone upside down in your pocket to plug it in and a new USB headset to boot. The Apple and Samsungs of the world in their ubiquity have changed the ecosystem. It's not surprising that if you make using my old headset diff

An always plugged in port risks damage and a damaged USB port makes your phone a brick, not so for an analog port that is inarguably more resilient. Every major vendor's earbuds and most of their headsets aren't battery-replacable

Great, so your security situatuon is now determined by two contributors that haven't moved on back-porting userspace lineageos to your device. I very much doubt anyone is making kernel or vendor updates to upstream neglected components

Apple's omission was the same garbage about complexity and space, yet no one in the real world had these problems. Apple is making a killing on Bluetooth accessories and adapters which have a much much higher markup than phones. Do you

I agree with you practically except that the pixel 3a has not been getting security updates for over a year. I wouldn't run it with anything personal on it. - https://endoflife.date/pixel

Of course they _sell_ a headphone jack adapter. That's the point of removing it. All the "weatherproofing" and "complexity" talk is just smoke.

This isn't necessarily true. Regulations that create exceptions for key big players entrench them further and their poor business practices against competitors that wish to usurp their market dominance. New entrants have to play by the

Same. I didn't miss an email confirmation or anything. They're very aware of me in the "queue". Contacting support on a monthly basis gets the same answer. I have to wait for some arbitrary deadline on "current pre-

I ordered mine in 2017 and still haven't received it or a refund. I've been fighting with the company about it for years. See [here]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33645259 ) for more info. I wouldn't sp

I'd be in support of stopping at 15 and moving to a base 16 metric. Hexadecimal numbers being discrete from alpha glyphs would be a bonus.

I'm unsure by your wording, but I am a vegetarian in case that's what you mean by "either" - over a decade and still ongoing. Not very important, but I just wanted to clarify. Your breakfast sounds tasty. I don't bl

It really depends on what you want to maximize in your life, health and environment. Not everyone will agree, but here are some things to chew on. * Animal products require an inordinate amount of water to produce compared to plant-based pr

As a vegetarian for well over a decade, I've always said the same thing. Meat isn't nearly as egregiously unhealthy as it's panned if at all. Processed foods, excessive simple carbohydrates and sugars are the main evils in th

I missed "back" when I grepped the new policies for "crowdfund", Purism changed the verbiage, my apologies. This was their earlier policy I believe, before the one I put up from 2020. There was some waffling as far as I

So you're telling me that if Purism continues to receive new pre-orders that outstrip their manufacturing capacity, they will indefinitely hold the money they've collected from me thus far since new customers' pre-orders take

The funny thing is no one seems to know how refunds are handled, even within the organization. Talking to customer service is like talking to a guy that bought a Purism shirt and kind of knows the guys that handle the "queue" some

Hey I remember that crowdfunding campaign! If the shipping queue is at 2019, why is my refund for an order from 2017 not processed? First you guys said it was because I had to wait until my batch was going to ship. I waited. Now no who know

I think mandated information disclosure is extremely important in a capitalist system. How can we make good decisions if we don't have good information? We need to ask more questions, trust, but verify. We do pass laws that require tho

There's a really concerning trend on HN and elsewhere I'm seeing. Everyone now seems to think free speech is too dangerous to try and promote anymore. It's been a shift over a couple years. I'm not supporting Ye or any o
