When the fuck did a mobile hotspot become something you have to pay extra for?
I remember it definitely being a very common thing in USA a decade or so ago. I never knew it disappeared. I don't think it would ever fly in Europe.

"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

Whether it was a successful coup is a separate matter.

Why is there no USB-C (female) to mini-B (male) adapter?
The USB-C (female) adapters are hard to find due to technically being non-compliant. If you're interested about the reasons and some further context, I can recommend this article: https://hackaday.com/2022/12/27/all-about-usb-c-illegal-adapters/
In your specific case, it's twice as hard to find such an adapter due to MiniUSB being so uncommon these days.

An open-source, cross-platform terminal for seamless workflows
From their FAQ:
Q: What shells does Wave Terminal support?
A: We currently only support bash. […]
Seems at least dishonest to advertise it as a "terminal" if it works only with a specific shell. It's okay to have extra features enabled by escape codes emitted by the shell, but if it goes beyond that, I'd say it's not just a terminal anymore.

This is not Xiaomi's fault, it's Google's. It's the limitation of the gesture navigation in the older Android versions (Android 10 or so). Nothing Xiaomi can do about it on Android 10, even if they wanted. I'm not sure how much better it is these days, but I've heard now it can work with 3rd party launchers to some degree.

10 Years Passed Since Flappy Bird Left Its Fans
Reply in thread
Just because the gameplay was very simple doesn't make it crap. The details (movement speed, the gap between the obstacles) were pretty much on point and that's something that makes or breaks this kind of game.
Last but not least, it had little to none anti-user "features" that plague the modern games. I would choose Flappy Bird over most current games any time of the day. Actually there is no "would" in there as I still have it installed.

The Flaws of Flatpak - What do you think about Flatpak Security?
I expect the Flatpak sandbox to protect my ~/ from getting cluttered by applications, not to protect me from any actually malicious software. The post's premise seems misguided.

Romanian court rules to keep Andrew Tate under house arrest as human trafficking case continues
Reply in thread
He was, but if I recall correctly the Romanian law has a limit of 3 months (?) they can keep someone in jail waiting for the trial. As much as I (dis)agree with the sentiment of "jail is for poor people", this is not the case here.
EDIT: Additionally, I think it's okay for him to serve his time only after the due process. This is what makes it fair instead of it being a lynch. Hopefully it's sooner rather than later.

Diablo 4 is Steam Deck Verified
Hot take: a game shouldn't be considered fully verified unless it can be played offline. It's a bloody handheld, I want to play on it while traveling!

Why aren't more people using NixPKGs?

In terms of the memory usage, it's a reasonable approach these days. It gets hairy when we consider security vulnerabilities. It's far easier to patch one system-wide shared library than to hunt down every single application still bundling a vulnerable version.
