What real consequences that truly hurt (or will hurt) in the long term, has happened, in your opinion?

I was thinking about this too - my eyes find the white LED light quite harsh. I've found warm / yellow LED lighting to be more soothing to the eyes.

All this worry mongering about Trump / MAGA is just political ignorance. As the oldest democracy in the world, with a deliberate 2 party system that is essentially ideologically similar, the US…

> it puts someone else (the other party), in control of what should be your message. Is it your message though? Doesn't the copyright belong to who wrote it (the sender)?

Why just Wifi? With ARM chips you can also have LTE in your servers! (Better check with the NSA first - maybe all the existing Intel and AMD SoCs already have some form of wireless comm built-into it?…

The data isn't available because PaleMoon doesn't collect any analytic or telemetry data. So they don't know how big their userbase is. (Recently though, I think they have started colle…

Personally, any application that even collects personal data is problematic for me. Personal data of a user has a value, and a large repository of personal data, of millions of users, makes the comp…

Vivaldi is probably the most ethical company making a for-profit browser now. But note that because it is a for-profit it tracks your installation, with an anonymous but unique id, and phones home eve…

Lots of alternate browser (not built on Chromium or Gecko) users are experiencing DoS because of Cloudflare Captcha code. PaleMoon has already released two browser updates (33.6 and 33.6.1) to preven…

Ladybird is lucky in that it has someone who knows how important marketing is, even for opensource projects. There are other opensource browser engine projects languishing because of lack of PR, patro…

They aren't just sanctioned by the west, there's UN sanctions on NK too. China and Russia are more inclined to abide by UN sanctions than western sanctions. (But this has now changed after t…

An old adage about politicians is is to observe what they do, not what they say. This is more true with Trump as he follows, what is called the Mad Man strategy - The madman theory posits that…

Why is this news? All businesses have to abide by the local laws of the country they serve in. Both Google and Apple took down the TikTok app from their app store on the orders of the US government &#…

Or, you know, you can just dual-boot. Or virtualise Windows / macOS. (And if you aren't using Apple device, you can even upgrade the hardware!)

Huh? can anybody else confirm this?

I've always wondered why Ada, a commercially successful stable language, never got more popular? And instead people are re-inventing the wheel with something new like Rust ...

That may be true for severe cases. But if you consider the checklists used to determine depression, it offers the results on a scale. For example, the Becks depression Inventory (BDI - II) suggests th…

That's a different case. Turkey (Türkiye) was desperate to join NATO because of USSR. Now that Russia isn't as strong and relationships between the two have improved, and Türkiye has realise…

I was citing the opposite scenario - if the US can claim the investment is void Norway too has the option to unilaterally withdraw its investments from the US, anticipating such shenanigans. Both are …

Norway's national security is already tied to the US by virtue of its membership with NATO. Any country in a military alliance understands that it somewhat politically limits their freedom when i…

For how long, is the question though? Depression and anxiety are like the "common cold" of mental health suffering, and everyone endures it a few times in their life.

> It’s hard to say why it worked Behaviour therapy would say that it worked because you took some action to improve your life and counter the depression. (Even cognitive therapy says that small, …

> many of these regulations are largely ineffective ... Maybe in the US or some other parts of the world, but the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the indian banking regulator, does a pretty decent j…

Has it really? I don't think the "movie is over" (as we colloquially say in India) and this was just the "opening scene" than the "climatic finish" that some think i…

Health conscious, figure conscious people all of us experiment with our food to see the impact it has on us emotionally and physically. In fact, look at what the subject of our discussion himself said…

Part of the idea of decluttering is that it makes you more aware about your possessions and that changes your consumption habit / buying behaviour because you become more attuned / aware of …
