Hate to break it to you, but these concerns are pretty specifically about iOS. Pretty much all of them have been addressed since the beginning and continue to be addressed today adequately on Android

Inappropriate use of cat

I'd check that you're actually installing the most appropriate package. For instance on Ubuntu there's kid3 which is a MP3 tag application that will pull in the entire k desktop environment. Or you can install kid3-qt which packages its own version of those dependencies and doesn't pull an entire desktop environment in if you're using a non-kde environment.

I think you need to read it as following on from

1. Turn the Moorgate line back into a Tube line

That takes us here

With respect, I would disagree. Taking it personally is a problem. Expecting everyone else to 'just trust me bro' is a problem. Look at it another way- 'if my staff unionize and anything needs to change then I've already failed as a boss'

Sorry but at this point my money is on the Post Office being incompetent and dishonest. They have form given the ongoing Horizon scandal.

• This is a newly introduced system
• There's no evidence it has ever worked correctly
• I'm not seeing any corroborating evidence, e.g. people being prosecuted for making or selling forged stamps
• I'm not seeing an explanation offered as to why such forgery is only happening now as opposed to before barcodes were introduced

It's not that you're wrong. It's more that I don't understand what you're proposing as an alternative. To add to the comments here pointing out that that's how CDNs work: for many designs of website, the CDN essentially is the website, being served from a cache by the provider. Even when this isn't the case, you would normally have a load balancer in front of whatever was serving your website so that if you need to swap out the server for maintenance upgrade, etc. you don't need to tell who your visitors to go to a different address. In that case, your certificate would be attached to load balancer rather than the server behind it.

If this was a 1990s and I were trying to run my own server on my own hardware in my bedroom, you might have a point, but please explain how you would implement an alternative in any meaningful way today.

Amelia Earhart's beard. FTFY

The thing is the VS code handles everything (with extensions). If I want to use pandoc, or CSV to markdown table, python linting, Go,, whatever, there's extensions that can handle all of these equally well and consistently, for example format on save.

If I want to use jetbrains then the pycharm for python, intelliJ for Java, Goland for golang... Then there's licencing depending on whether I'm using a personal licence or corporate laptop, whether I have to get a licence from my employer etc.

For me it's not so much that it's so good, but that it works with everything in a consistent and obvious way plus I can install it on any machine I might be using.

Article cites sources and figures- don't be swayed by casual dismissive comments here, e.g. for intro:

Novaya-Europe has identified at least 270 academic staff members of Moscow and St. Petersburg’s high-ranking universities who have left Russia since the Ukraine war broke out. Among them, 195 are considered Russian scientists, while the rest are foreigners.

For carrying the unauthorized number porting, Katz received $1,000 in Bitcoin per SIM swap (total of $5,000), plus an (unspecified) percentage of the profits earned from the illicit access to the victims' devices.

For his actions, Katz faces a statutory maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or twice the financial gain or loss from the crime

The article is from the guardian ( a reputable UK newspaper) reporting on an article by 'Which?' a UK consumer magazine with some very specific standards. The Which? Press release has citations.

Imagine an author receiving money as long as people but their books...

I've been where this article describes, so has the author. Excellent article.

Connect. I have jerboa and sync installed but the regex filters in connect are are a killer feature and I'm quite happy with the app

This needs to be the top comment in my view.

Pretty much any new laptop running any operating system will be able to adequately do word processing but they will all feel different and they will be a range of price points. This is why involving your wife who will be the user for this device is critical. One of the key advantages with Apple is that you can try out every current model in person at an Apple store. I don't know how easy it is for you to get to one, but if you have the option I would definitely recommend sending your wife to do that.

It didn't used to be this way, but modern power adaptors are required to implement standby power:

In the past, standby power was largely a non-issue for users, electricity providers, manufacturers, and government regulators. In the first decade of the twenty-first century, awareness of the issue grew and it became an important consideration for all parties. Up to the middle of the decade, standby power was often several watts or even tens of watts per appliance. By 2010, regulations were in place in most developed countries restricting standby power of devices sold to one watt (and half that from 2013).
