> Although Sales and Marketing would have us believe that we should upgrade our devices on a regular basis

Who would actually even believe that in the first place? Maybe it's an American thing, but with our French spending power, I know of absolutely no one in my family or friend group who has a set schedule for upgrading their devices. It's either "use until it breaks, then replace" or "use until I absolutely need a replacement because it's too slow", the latter of which usually being after 3 years or so.

As for downsizing, once again everyone I know isn't really "downsizing", but buying refurbished devices a few generations old, as the price for brand new devices, even refurbished ones, has gotten pretty crazy.

I discovered HN this year, and my takeaway from it all is: great links, questionable debates in the comments.

Happy new year everyone!

> now from a first glance it would have the more senior copyright claim.

So what? What matters is authorship, not the date at which it was published on this or that website. Even if a website copies your text, no matter the date, that is still your text and still copyright infringement no matter what if you didn't license this text to them.

> I finally got sick of a lot of the crap that was getting added to edge (like the stupid button on the right that opens the right toolbar)

FYI you can disable it, along with most of the additional button things.

I'll switch to Firefox when they get proper vertical tabs like Edge's. I know Microsoft Edge has a really bad reputation, but damn it I can't live without its vertical tabs, and I can disable most of the idiotic AI crap. I know there are plugins, but they all feel quite hacky and are simply not as good.

Weirdly enough, I've heard good things about Dacia's reliability specifically because they use old parts that are known to be reliable. I don't have first-hand experience though so maybe that's not true.

Logseq is great, but I definitely agree that everything around it (docs, website, ...) is terrible. They really need to rework their marketing pitch and give proper docs. Right now you have docs scattered across 3 websites, and the only useful one is made in Logseq itself, which isn't a good system for scaling documentation.

Is there more context on why this platform was created somewhere? I don't really know what's wrong with SocialBlade or other platforms like it.

That's for individual use, VAT-exclusive. For business licenses, that's 240€/yr with VAT. It's really steep.

I'd say yes, although somewhat through Expo nowadays

Please, Firefox, for the love of everything, add a good, easy, natively integrated, one-click-to-enable vertical tab list like Edge's. That's the only thing keeping me on Microsoft Edge and it's a dealbreaker for me. The extensions that add ones are just not as good.

That, and Windows being the only OS with good fractional scaling. My main problem with Linux is that, in order to have tolerable fractional scaling, you have to use tons of hacks to make sure everything is running on Wayland. And even then some basic stuff is just broken, like JetBrains IDEs just not supporting scaling (except on KDE but then other stuff like icons are broken), drag and drop being broken in VS Code, cursors sometimes going absolutely massive, etc. macOS straight up doesn't support fractional scaling, which is even worse (good luck using a 1440p 24" display with it).

There's a lot more to it than meat though. According to Wikipedia's page on SPAM:

> The ingredients of Spam vary according to variety and market; those of variety "Spam Classic" are pork with ham, salt, water, modified potato starch, sugar, and sodium nitrite.
