Have you looked into the different Hackerspaces around the country? TOG in Dublin run Repair Cafe events [ https://www.tog.ie/repair/ ] and I'd be durprised if other spaces don't. You can find a list of other H

I don't believe that's true any longer. The U.S. moves over Greenland have a large part to play in this, but I think the sanctioning of the International Criminal Court is much more relevant. Overnight ICC officials couldn't

Stripping the metadata on a photo is probably a feature though. For privacy reasons the default should most likely be that location, device info etc are taken out of photos that might go viral or be shared beyond what the original user inte

I don't think so. I'm on Ubuntu and mostly use debs (apt), I'll use Snaps if that's the easiest way to get an update. I use Appimages for some ephemeral stuff or when that's the only way developers release it (some

on Ubuntu you can integrate Appimages with AppImageLauncher. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2022/10/appimagelauncher-install...

Yep, that's one of it's best features. Im sure ot must be in the documentation somewhere but you can also read about it here https://guides.library.unlv.edu/open-refine/undo-redo

Why? You think scholars are mostly translating?

Did it? What adoption numbers? Number of distros? Number of applications? Ubuntu seems to dwarf other Linux distrobutions in terms of numbers of users. Are you saying more users have Flatpak installed than have Snap installed?

Perhaps they could settle it in a cage match, in a submarine?

I love Fdroid and the way it makes FOSS software more available. I wish it was a bit more polished though. On my stock unrooted OnePlus6t there is no option for updating all possible apps at once. Like if there are 3 apps to update it takes

I can't see a single Note without logging in, or in my case creating an account. That's a hard limit on exploration.

It's very dystopian. National / bank / religious holidays etc shouldn't come out of your individual holidays.

I don't use NixOS, or have any great interest in it tbh. But this podcast featuring Martin Wimpress (of Linux Mate and other projects) does a decent job of describing what NixOS is, and previews some ongoing and upcoming efforts to add

I was just about to post that. Well done.

That's a really good tip. "Let me know if there's anything I can do" isn't all that helpful without being specific.

I think there are a few things going on. One is that the Internet makes showing off what you do so easy, and adding ads is just a small addition to a website, blog or YouTube channel so monetization is fairly straightforward. Another Intern

The data centres are being located in the built up East of the country, near Dublin the capital city . Land for solar farms would be expensive and to be honest I'm not sure if the sunshine here would make them viable. I don't kn

If Ubuntu and it's derivatives go for Snaps then while that's a minority of distros it's probably a majority of the Linux user base.

My mental image reading this is that you demand overtime, are reluctant to allow holidays and are trying to fire this person before you have to deliver on promised compensation. Of course I could be completely wrong. Out of curiosity what c

A nice problem to have. What would HN readers spend such a windfall on? Contracting developers to work on the project seems like the obvious choice.
