Could it be that you forget to write down calories after a sufficient amount of alcohol?
“I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”


Have you seen typst? It looks to be similar to LaTeX, but based on markdown.


I can only assume that message is because the FP 5 is not compatible with VoIP (not strictly related to the 3G cutoff). If so, that means it is actually unable to call emergency services, and is therefore unable to be used safely in Australia.
The emergency services in Australia have recently switched to VoIP only, and want to eliminate the risk of someone using a non VoIP capable phone as their only phone. This appears to be a general safety issue, not specifically targeted at Fairphone.
The FP 6 does support VoIP, so it should have no issues.


I have a fairphone 6 in Australia with no issues.
Can you elaborate?


Zulip is great for text based communities, but doesn’t have built in voice or video.
I will agree, the situation is getting better.

“When did Rage Against the Machine become political?”


Just a regular heat pump, but bending metals instead of compressing gasses. Same principle though.


I recently used AI to make a plugin using a programming language I’ve never used before.
When working on similar projects in the past, I get to the end with a new understanding of the language and its capabilities.
This time, I think it took about 10% longer, was no easier overall (although each step seemed easier to start), and I feel like I still have basically no understanding of the language or its features.
If I were to start over, I’d still have to start learning from the beginning. AI has saved me no time at all, and the plugin still has plenty of subtle bugs I need to remove by hand.


Why not both? Trams and bike paths can work really well together.


If you advocate for public transport, then you can provide these people with an adequate alternative to driving.
“See you soon!”
“Not if I see you first”
