TFA is paywalled and the archive link someone else used didn't work. Thank you for copy-and-pasting how they did it.

It took me a bit to realize you mean "MAPs" (so-called "Minor Attracted Persons") and not cartographical instruments.

I'm surprised Twitter didn't implement it earlier (before it was bought and rebranded to X). Also, is The Times admitting they were in possession of the illegal pictures? Does Freedom of the Press protect against that?

I'm not anti-AI (I have a ChatGPT subscription), I just don't like bloat and nagging.

What I would appreciate is them not plastering the logo/name on the front where it's staring you in the face as you try to read. I already bought the damn device, stop advertising (harassing) to me! (Both my previous generation K

I just bought a Kobo Clara Color after purchasing various Kindles for years. It requires an online setup (account). A quick search did not find what your saying. Can you please post a how-to or link one (that I couldn't find)?

They make the NexDock which other HN users have mentioned. I'm a little interested in a NexDock, but not a fan of having to carry a third item: a USB cable. It would be cool if they made a built-in retractable USB-C cable. What'

I forgot where I heard this, but the thought is that if a country takes the world's best and brightest, it means those other countries that they are coming from lose their best and brightest, making it harder for those other countries

You could probably then copy-and-paste those into a PPTX file created by PowerPoint to make sure there were no weird things going on with the file(structure) that might cause problems later.

Because we're depressed at being surrounded by stupidity. Or at least I am; I won't speak for everyone else.
