It doesn't work like that. I've been made aware thanks to this post, and tomorrow I'll be placing CO2 sensors in every meeting room in the company I work at, and mandating an open-windows or air-circulating policy above 800ppm.

You don't need to make everybody aware, you just need to make the right people aware.

As for the State... Mine mandates that nobody can use the laptop's keyboard, they must use an external keyboard so the laptops' screens can be risen to eye level.

We have the external keyboards and the risers, and nobody uses them.

The State usually finds the worst and most wasteful solution available. Only fools trust the State to solve their problems.

No. That's ridiculous. You can import whatever you want.

No, you can't. You can import whatever you are allowed to import, regardless of it's legal status on the original country.

Just so everyone here has the full picture: the source linked — Assemblea Nacional Catalana — is not a human rights watchdog, an international observer, or a journalistic outlet. It is the main pro-independence criminal activist organization in Catalonia. Citing them as evidence of Spanish human rights abuses is a bit like citing the murderer's wife as an impartial witness.

For context, Spain is a full constitutional democracy, subject to the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights, with a free(ish) press, independent judiciary, and regular elections — none of which Assemblea itself disputes, because it participates in all of them. The events OP is referencing (the 2017 independence referendum aftermath) were reviewed by European courts, and the outcomes were, shall we say, not quite the narrative Assemblea sells on its website.

If there are genuine, documented human rights concerns, I'd welcome impartial sources from the Supreme Court or the ECHR.

What I'd push back on is treating a political lobby's own press releases as neutral reporting. You should do better than that here, OP.

If they have been doing that, they haven't offered it to me, which seems weird since I'm their ICP.

The simpler explanation is that they aren't doing that.

This should not be flagged. > Flagging this: that’s fascism.

Telling people what should or shouldn't be done: that's fascism.

Freedom of speech is binary, there aren't any acceptable degrees of it: either you have it, or you don't.

If there is disinformation, the solution is to counter it with actual information, to give the people better tools to identify it (like X's community notes), and to educate the general population so they will have better critical thinking.

Restricting freedom of speech is never a solution. How long until dissenting opinions are censored because somebody labels them "disinformation"? Who watches the watchmen? etc.

I'd rather live in a society with full freedom of speech and disinformation from State actors than have only 100% accurately vetted news.

I've made thousands of dollars just by following the Pelosi tracker on X. Most of the time a stock soars just on the effect of a congressman buying that stock.

It's hardly about a company having a "right" to stop you from saying anything, it's about what your reaction to life events says about you.

If you get fired and your reaction is to go to your blog and whine about losing email access and not being able to deliver a talk that you had prepared for x time I, as a prospective employer, am going to draw some conclusions about your personality that won't help you get the job I'm offering.

Yet another reason why I don't connect appliances to the internet. My TV is plugged to an Nvidia Shield, and that's the device that gets online, since it was designed for that.

I can't wait to play all the new Switch 2 games on my Steam Deck

The US is not an enemy to the EU, while China is a clear enemy to the US.

The difference is quite easy to easy to spot.

Apple makes it difficult to access because they want to make sure you don't use it often, as they believe the experience of waking up the computer from sleep is better than starting it up.

It's a conscious decision based not on design, but on UX, as with the Magic Mouse USB port.

Check Affinity, they have a top product for developing and editing.

Is there no alternative to Photoshop? Affinity or Pixelator don't cut it?

What's disgusting is all this hate in general.

It's always seemed easier to me to use FF + Ublock + Bypass Paywalls. Never fails.

I sleep longer than 12h most days.

Extensions are nice to have, but pointless as long as FF for Android doesn't render most pages correctly (HN, for example).

Just joined using your referral code. Thanks Blake!

Do you have a referral code?

For one, HN misbehaves pretty badly on mobile.

Firefox for Android, unfortunately, is plagued with UX issues, which makes switching much more difficult.

I cannot even render HN well.

It's a real pity that speed keeps being the golden metric by which browsers measure themselves. I'd much rather have Mozilla focus on making Firefox usable on many popular webs (including HN) than on shaving another millisecond.

They hired some incredibly talented people to make this happen, and then like five times as many idiots.

I can relate to this.

Now if they could only fix how horribly Hacker News is displayed on mobile...

Your lack of faith is disturbing, specially when there are first hand accounts of [Apple/Microsoft/Insert Co] sending engineers to people's houses to diagnose unique problems. This could be a perfectly real story, a different thing would be that you choose not to believe it.

Owning code would be akin as owning language.

This would be a good moment to ask for good free Python courses.

I stopped playing Catan and switched to cooperative euro games after realizing that the way I play Catan (threatening, holding grudges, taking revenge, creating chaos...) is not how everybody else plays or wants to play. I play to win whatever the cost, but after having strong arguments with my friends and loved ones I decided to just stop playing.
