There's ClassicPress. But a better alternative than sticking with WP is https://textpattern.com/ (which has better and more stable codebase that is as old as WordPress).…

> You are glancing over the fact that American media platforms are not really controlled by the US government ... I had a chuckle at the naivety of this statement. Even HN shadow-bans posts here …

It's opt-in by default so you can't "bypass" it unless you are aware that you can turn it off. If you don't turn it off, it will continue to scan your photos, and upload the d…

Excellent suggestions. I'd add 5. Teach them impulse control and practice delayed gratification.

You are ofcourse right that there are better specced devices in this price band. And HMD is one of the better respected mobile brands. Two GB is also good enough for basic telephony (calls, messaging,…

George RR Martin once commented that he wished he could create a character like Rome's Titus Pullo (or something to that effect). Maybe Game of Thrones would have had a much better ending if the …

Don't know about opensource, but it's free for Desktop and has mobile versions - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/onlyoffice-documents/id9448969... …

LibreOffice is excellent. An alternate to it is OnlyOffice, which is a bit more polished (and Enterprisy) and has a free option too - https://www.onlyoffice.com/download-desktop.aspx …

I think decaf is a very "American" specific thing? Haven't really seen it in Asia or Middle East.

The worse part of this is that since I am in a developing country, where laws on privacy are quite lax, Apple can just abuse us - I was going through all the privacy settings again today on my mom…

Not really. But I understand your outrage as you only have partial information - the western media often has a tendency to whitewash their foreign policy to show themselves as "benevolent" t…

Yes, the earlier Tintin comics, (like Tintin in Congo , which I don't think is published any more), are quite blatant in its colonial stereotypes. But to his credit Herge did change his world vi…

It did. Till it didn't - one day, after an update, it just refused to work without full access to contacts. (On ios).

The law would obviously need to address such scenarios. One idea could be to also make everything public domain, for all mediums , when the author dies or a certain period has passed (like 70-80 year…

I don't know about marriages, but it sure seems to be preventing the next generation from bonding. We had a large family gathering recently. Four teens, all cousins, were amongst them. They spent…

No. I am suggesting that short copyright terms should be tied to the medium of delivery. If someone writes a book, copyright will begin when they publish the book and the 10-15 years copyright expir…

I hope Amazon workers win this fight to do labour with some dignity and without being exploited. I know somebody who works for Amazon HR (US) and they say that hire and fire, along with union busting,…

That can be fixed by limiting copyright to a certain duration per medium . You write a book - you have copyright on paper based books for 15 years. You publish it as Ebooks for desktop and mobile dev…

Be careful of GL.iNet's products - some of them say they run OpenWRT, but they don't run stock OpenWRT and instead offer a version of OpenWRT supplied by the CPU manufacturer, with binary dr…

Or a huge warning sign of the wealth disparity between the rich and lower-income group - it's a reality that lower middle-income group today cannot afford to buy homes; they are lucky if they can…

It's not just "developed" country problem any more. It is also happening in developing countries, like India and Vietnam for example. In India, real estate prices have sky rocketed over…

> When you gain weight, you also increase the muscles needed to carry that weight around. I can't figure out how relevant that is. From what I've seen of obese people they always strugg…
