Businesses tend to follow local laws, even outside China.

Given what transpires about the US on the international news scene, I’m not sure putting that to a democratic vote would yield the result you expect, sadly.

Nobody in his sect is paying attention. The rest of the world is looking at this with anxiety.

People are looking for alternative to lithium batteries. Unfortunately the world does not stop while we’re looking.

When you turn French you just stop caring about sins.

It’s hard to say without reading the actual paper, but summaries (from other sites, the earth.com site is terribly lacking) describe their approach as an alternative substrate for hydroponic cultivation, which would be both easier/more eco-friendly to produce, and allow conductivity. In any case it is far from “sticking a metal stick around”.

I mean, yeah, NASA found a way to literally stop god’s power, and they keep it to themselves.

The same. The attraction from one magnet to the other is the same on each magnets. If one is stronger, the total attraction is higher, but still the same on both ends.

Don’t get me started about the 34th law of thermodynamic

If your only goal is that most people can live decently and reduce exploitation, abuse, and such, yeah, sure.

But if you just want to amass money, then, no.

A choice was made.

Rumor as it he never even worked there.

The only useful email validation is “can I get an MX from that” and “does it understand what I’m saying in that SMTP”. Anything else is someone that have too much free time.

If my current phone had one, I would use it daily. Unfortunately it doesn’t, so I moved to bluetooth headset. This means charging regularly, (very) occasional drop in connection in crowded space. The only alternative is an USB C adapter I could use, but then I’d have to unplug/replug it everytime I want to charge my phone.

I will look for a phone with a jack for my next one, but if the current trend keep going it might not be an option (not an affordable one).

'It’s a win for everyone" except if Google (and Apple) were to start playing “fair”: no more restriction on apps, but they charge full price for the service of hosting and providing a searchable store to something million users. That way, only big business that can pay for that kind of service will be able to use each platform’s “main” store, and every (big business owner) will be happy.

There’s no free meal in there. Not for the majority of users, at least.

In this case, either:

One who uses obsequious compliments to gain self-serving favour or advantage from another; a servile flatterer

or

One who seeks to gain through the powerful and influential

It was new ages ago, now it’s just something people sometimes say. If you want to mock people, at least try to be up to date.

Not if encrypted traffic with no state-sanctioned backdoor is forbidden.

Foxit have been a bloated mess for years now, no reason for them to change.

Yeah, sure, go work in any corporate environment that have to work with outsiders, or even just a slightly large structure, and just tell people “take time to readjust, and you’ll find replacements”.

I’m in a very small structure, and even getting people to ditch Outlook in favor of Thunderbird is impossible because “they can’t work with it”. I know what they do with Outlook, I know they can do it with Thunderbird, but that does not make people magically accept change. We setup a whole ecosystem of tools, self-hosted, that performs adequately and can handle everything we do. This did not stop management from getting more Teams license.

Wishful thinking is nice as long as you live in a vacuum or are omnipotent. Back in the real, non frictionless world, this takes time, careful preparation, and the slightest bump will throw all efforts out the window.
