I mean, saying a model is cheaper than the latest iPhone is like saying Teslas are cheaper than Mercedes-Benz.

Oh so that’s why South Korea’s birth rate is plummeting. It all makes sense now.

The sun powers the water cycle.

Shit list?

PinePhone is very cheap. Even PinePhone Pro is mid-range.

The first rule of coding is that you don’t re-invent the wheel.

None as far as I know. But then we enforce speed limits less with rules and more with potholes, traffic jams and narrow roads, so it’s a moot point.

That sounds amazing!

• Each state in India has its own police force. You don’t know where this group’s admin lives (except that he’s probably from a Hindi-speaking state, but there are like ten of them).

• There’s no evidence he has done anything illegal. Police don’t do anything unless you have pretty strong evidence (or some VIP asks them to).

Unfortunately that reputation also attracts these people.

OnePlus, POCO / Xiaomi and older Pixels.

I was considering the Moto G Stylus or some Poco phone, but I haven´t been able to find a source of Roms for those.

Note that Poco do not make their own phones, but licence and tweak Redmi phones. So you might not see ROMs for the Poco version because they are listed under the original Redmi version.

It was Kyoto Animation that was attacked. They have quite a few similarities in artstyle and themes to Ghibli, and you could maybe call them a spiritual successor. But neither is owned by, or a part of, the other.

Ghibli recently released How Do You Live, probably their last film. With the last surviving founders retiring, Nippon TV will manage the studio and the museum.

I can’t believe someone actually burned down Studio Ghibli HQ before Citizen’s United was.

Do you mean Kyoto Animation?

I believe you officially have to create a Mi Account, send a request and wait for seven days. According to friends who did it here (India), the rest is not required.

But also, for many devices, you can do it unofficially. This is what I did.

If you are using the default OS (MIUI), you can install another browser (from Play Store or F-Droid) and then disable Chrome by adb. Other apps will then be forced to send their links to your new browser.

Xiaomi also allows you to install your own OS and/or root your phone, but that isn’t necessary.

If we can make windows that can reshape themselves to a shape-shifting 4D monitor, Rami-chan will finally be able to run Linux.

F-droid version will remain open-source, but if the new owners decide to no longer support it, then it might not get any more updates.

In India, usually they don’t demand a bribe. They will process your file slowly, with the understanding that you can speed it up by bribing them.

From what I understand, Pakistan does not properly regulate weapons. But it would still be rather stupid to threaten a public servant. If you are that sort of person, smiling at the official and remarking on his good health might be a better idea. A less aggressive trick is to let them think that you are from the press / have a camera or microphone / have marked currency.

As a Linux user, I was rather surprised to learn that Windows doesn’t have a good pdf viewer. (Sumatra was the closest I could get.) Scientific software I can understand, but pdf viewer? Wtf?

Companies don’t need to follow laws?

Many do follow the law, but have the law written to their convenience. Why bother stealing data when you can get it for free from people who don’t know any better?
