That's great that whoever makes your device(assuming Apple) has stores where they can do repairs. Having a repairable device doesn't mean you have to repair it yourself, it just means you can.
The keyboard and mousepad on my Thinkpad have died twice. I've replaced it twice for 30 dollars each time. I would have had to buy a new laptop if I had something else. The conclusion about this being a hack and not a new economic model is why I'm hoping Framework seems success. Unfortunately I think my Thinkpad is on the way out for good and I plan to replace it with the Framework 16 when it is available, which I hope will last me just as long as my Thinkpad
I enjoy them. It's a paragraph or so of easily digestible information. Not everyone has read something like Atomic Habits so the value is relative. Worst case scenario it acts as an excuse to kick off discussion.
Why is it geographically infeasible to expand bus service in a city? Most medium to large US cities are designed with a grid system which would fit more buses perfectly. My city recently expanded one of the main roads to 6 lanes when they could easily done a BRT instead.
The amount of hoop jumping people go through to avoid saying we should invest more in public transit is insane. You see it on HN every time someone mentions density or transit. No one is saying you can't have a car or should live in a downtown apartment, we just shouldn't build everything around having a car.
The idea behind the phrase is that cops are either bastards or they sit by and let other cops be bastards and are themselves bastards. Any cop who doesn't sit by and let other cops abuse citizens isn't a cop for very long.
Didn't know this extension existed, thank you. I don't actually subscribe to any Youtube channels and mainly search for what I want at the time but this may be a healthier way to use Youtube.
I use the extension BlockTube to filter out videos by channel and I think it works pretty well since I only need to right click on a video and can block the entire channel. That means you have to trust another extension.
That being said, it is an understatement to say I can't tolerate the internet without uBlock Origin. I get so much value out of this project I would donate 10-20% of my salary to the project if they allowed donations.
Can you create a category just for Delta Chat messages? I've never used Delta Chat but in Gmail you can create categories and tabs so I would be able to create a category just for Delta Chat messages. Is there some sort of thing like that in Thunderbird or whatever email provider you use?
I think you're equating teacher with lecturer because of how classes are taught in school. They are not the same thing. A teacher can just be someone that gives you feedback and corrects you when you make missteps. If I recall correctly, this way of teaching is the idea behind Montessori schools.
Everyone learns better with a teacher because no matter how you think you learn best, getting feedback from someone who actually knows what they are talking about is required.
Everything plays into attention economics and thinking otherwise is naive. Video games are optimized for play time and content, video streaming services try to keep you watching for as long as possible, music streaming services want you listening all day.
