Same for me.
My config is a couple lines longer, but other than font-family, font-size, color theme and a couple of other settings I didn't need to change anything else.
I definitely spent way less time configuring it to suit my needs that I did with any other terminal I used before.
I agree with you for the font size, but other than that I really like the minimal UI
I do think the same too, I have a Proton subscription (non-business), my "Lumo Product Updates" is toggled OFF and I've never received a single Lumo email so far.
In addition to the other comments pointing out how your "Americans invented microprocessors" is wrong,
[Americans] landed on the moon without a federal Department of Education
maybe you should check what the budget for NASA was during the space race and what it is now, considering also the news from 3 days ago about further budget cuts to the Agency.
I'm only addressing the Pacman complaints because I genuinely don't understand them
It uses pacman from ArchLinux, which is easily the worst package manager ever invented. Quick, how do you search for a package that you've installed? Oh? What's that, did you just have to google for one of the weird single letter options? I rest my case.
Rest your case? Is that the only argument? The fact that if someone can't remember specific flags that they rarely use makes a cli program the "worst" is stupid. By the same logic since I don't know how to search for installed packages with apt (it's been years since I used a debian based distro), is it fair for me to say apt is the worst package manager ever invented?
If you don't think these things happen, you haven't use pacman for long enough.
How long is long enough? I've been using Arch (btw) daily for more than 10 years, maybe close to 15, on my personal PC and I've been using MSYS2 on my work laptop for more than 1 year. Never encountered Pacman-related issues...
The healthcare that forces people to pay money to non functioning system based on their income is socialist.
Non functioning? All EU countries with public healthcare score better than the US in the healthcare rankings (and life expectancy), by a good measure. And some of them are the best in the world. This [1] is just one source, you can find multiple ones with the same conclusion.
Since we are on a technical/scientific site I'll put it in mathematical terms: implementing social policies is a Necessary But Not Sufficient condition for a Country to be socialist.
There are literally zero countries in the EU that are socialist, they only have ~some~ social policies.
I am perfectly aware of the existence of socialist parties in Europe... Let me get this straight: are you really saying that because there are socialist parties in Europe, the European states are socialists?
Most of the EU states are currently led by liberal/neo-liberal/right-wing parties dude...
Having implemented social policies doesn't make the EU States socialists... You should do some reading and learn the differences
Yes, there are people I know who are still paying the same price Iliad offered at launch: 5.99€/month for unlimited calls and messages, and 30GB in 4G+. That price was basically half of what all other available providers offered at the time.
I agree, and I don't see anti-european ideologies or hate speech anywhere in that repo, thank you for being on the lookout though.
You still haven't explained me how that message is anti-european or solicit violence against the native population. That's like saying being pro freedom of religion is like being against Christianity.
Regarding the events in the article you linked: I haven't been following them, but from the look of it it seems the attacker could be very well an Islamic extremist. Being an advocate for immigrants rights doesn't mean someone cannot be also against religious extremists.
How "no one is illegal" is an anti-european message or "hate speech against native populations" is beyond me.
They are propaganda, the CIA and Pentagon had/have their hands in many movies, Marvel's Captain Marvel is a prominent example [1]

I used OhMyZsh! for a long time and really liked it, but now I moved to Starship [1]. However I noticed I still missed some of the "steroids" that OhMyZsh brought so I keep it installed in my system and I only source the plugins I need in the .zshrc:
source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/completion.zsh
source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/directories.zsh
source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/history.zsh
source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/spectrum.zsh
source /usr/share/oh-my-zsh/lib/key-bindings.zsh
I've recently found out about Floorp. I haven't tried it yet though so I can't give any feedback.
Correct. And even his ex-girlfriend (the singer) turned out to be alive: there were rumors about her execution but they were fake.
There are phones that come with Facebook preinstalled, so add that to the list.
Firefox on desktop; same on on mobile along with Firefox Focus (although recently I started using Firefox Preview a bit more instead of regular FF)
it's the first result for me on DDG https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hacker+news&t=h_&ia=web
The perception of time depends highly of what you are doing.
I totally agree.
Maybe changing job every semester is a bit overkill, but just trying different things and doing new experiences could help. Traveling, visiting new places could be useful, or trying new hobbies/courses. Really anything worth remembering that goes out of your routine is what you need, I think.
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1782/
Where I work we have many PI 1 and PI 3 in our facility. They have been running for almost 3 years, 24/7, 365 days a year. We got a few instances of corrupted cards so, about 6 months ago, in order to reduce writes on the cards, we decided to reduce logging done by our software running on them, and they have been working perfectly since then.
"regulating immigration and encouraging eMigration". Really? So let's the brilliant people go to other countries bringing their knowledge somewhere else? Brilliant.
"I'd quite like to see daily labor auctions. Where the employer "bids" for how much they're willing to pay today, and employees select where they'll go to work (or stay home) based on today's bids. Christmas day would suddenly get very expensive."
Sure, just wait until all employers bid the same for the same level jobs, at that point emploees don't have other choice than to accept anything.
what does surpless mean? At first I though it was a mispelling of "surplus" but you wrote it twice...
For those fascinated with Kowloon there is an arcade, the Kawasaky Warehouse in Japan [1], whose interiors are inspired to the Walled City. It's on my personal list of places to visit for a future travel to Japan. From the pictures/videos it looks quite cool and it seems to give a rough idea of what Kowloon looked like.

You love them because you are not a startup that plans to compete with other services or a customer who wants to use apps outside of the selected ones for which you can use dedicated data. What if one day you'd like to use a new emerging service that is better than WhatsApp|Viber|Any-other-app-that-you-currently-use but that is not in a bundle for which your provider has plans that give extra dedicated data? Will you make the switch and consume your regular data or will you stick with your current one that makes you use dedicated data for which you paid those extra €5?
I bet that few of them will reply that it is an extinct animal, some others that it is a cool band, and most of them that they have never heard of such a thing.
FYI there is an alternative to Github Pages + Cloudflare if you want to use Let's Encrypt using the same features of Github Pages: Gitlab Pages. It allows you to add your own certificates with the only downside that there is no good option to enforce HTTPS (only workarounds, at least for now; there is a discussion on the matter [1]), if this is a problem for you the solution is (Github|Gitlab|Bitbucket)+Netlify, which, personally, I find to be perfect.
Who wouldn't want fresh olive oil?
Good idea but I don't think it's that easy: the extraction of olive oil is not a simple matter of pressing olives until the oil comes out, but a long process with multiple steps [1] that I doubt they could been done by a press that is relatively simple as/as big as Juicero (as it can be seen by the cons in the two methods for the extraction that are listed on wiki).
I suggest VirusTotal[1]. It is a tool used also by malware analysts: it scans the suspect file/website analyzing it with multiple (60+) antivirus engines. It also shows various information about the uploaded file: signatures, sections, imported dll, metadata, etc...
Accordingly to VirusTotal FAQs some of these engines are ad-hoc tuned for VirusTotal with stronger heuristics and additional options, so an engine on VT may detect a malware while the same commercial engine installed on your PC doesn't.
