Rock of ages!

Why would people with checked luggage need to leave the plane first? They are going to be waiting 20~30 minutes for their suitcase at the conveyor belts. They can't hurry even if they wanted to.

I've seen a couple of articles from earth.com shared lately and they always have this clickbaity sensationalist tone. I don't like it.

Looking at the original publication this article is based on I don't understand much (I'm not a climate scientist myself), but one sentence stands out:

Whether global warming has affected the strength of this overturning circulation over the past century is still debated: observational studies suggest that there has been persistent weakening since the mid-twentieth century, whereas climate models systematically simulate a stable circulation.

The climate models we all know and predict how climate change will affect us all seem to work on the basis that these currents have a stable circulation that doesn't change, which doesn't seem to be the case. Therefore the climate models we've known until now might be wrong... and things could be even worse.

0,0024€ per donut? So 1000 donuts for 2,40€? I doubt it

The country, ah yes the only place that exists on the internet, the almighty one powerful country to rule them all. THE. COUNTRY.

Separate the fat. Make soap with it. Sell it to the rich.

It's a nonsense joke. Australia is also there. Just kill Eurovision and call it something else for fucks sake

I keep reading this complaint every time FairPhone releases a new model, and it's nonsense. The millions of people who didn't buy a FairPhone 5 in the last 2 years are not going to buy a 2 year old model when they need a new phone in 2 months.

You bought a FairPhone 5 or 4 in the last 4 years? Keep it and don't buy a FairPhone 6, you don't need it.

You didn't buy a FairPhone and your current phone is dying? Then you have a modern FairPhone and don't need to decide between a FairPhone with old specs or an up-to-date phone that is not repairable.

No, please. I NEVER want a computer to take a decision for me (like save or discard changes). I turned off auto saving on Microsoft Office on my work computer after I unknowingly made some changes in a presentation from another team I was just looking at, and it saved those changes without my knowledge nor consent.

I work with several screens, have several windows of different programs open and, unfortunately, sometimes a keystroke doesn't go where I thought I was sending it (I'm probably getting old). Also sometimes windows from a different program come to focus unannounced and capture whatever you were typing or clicking.

It's also very annoying for non-native speakers who want to listen to the original audio and have the subtitles as help when they don't understand something:

• what was that one word I didn't get?
• subtitles: completely different sentence (with the same meaning, OK, but different words)

With a bit of effort you can stream any movie directly to your TV for a few moneys a month (or free, but paying for the essential bits removes the jankiness)

Something I learned back in the day: "Never pay for warez". Pirate all you want, the moment you are paying, pay the creator of the product you're interested in, not someone who pirated it and wants to profit from distributing it without a licence.

No, Mullvad is not deprecated at all (are you maybe thinking of Mull?) Vivaldi is Chromium based, that's a no-go: don't support Google's hegemony by any means

Then the solution is to do an on site Interview, not to ask a candidate which they'll later reject to install spyware on their personal computer.

Boycott those places, otherwise we are consenting to being censored in the name of advertising profitability.

The second best time to fix this was 4 years ago, when the Capitol was attacked to try to overturn a democratic election. But the USA has a big problem: nothing was done. A criminal staged a coup and failed. And nothing was done. He was allowed to go free, run for president and now he is in charge. The USA already failed years ago and now is just reaping what it allowed fascism to sow. Because nothing was ever done about it.

What's with the clickbait title?

This is not news, it has been happening since Smart TVs started being a thing.

One of the most common TV OSs is AndroidTV / GoogleTV. Google is the biggest ad company in the world.
