Yes but some of the people criticizing Lee may be Swedish or another culture that has the same view about public character assassination.

In some cultures, including Sweden, it's not considered proportional to attack someone's reputation publicly, even when they do abusive things. Here, the proper response would be to report the post to mods and to the police, and let them see over the punishment.

On non-Fairphones, which tend to have larger batteries and lower power consumption batteries tend to be usable for much longer. We are talking 3-5 years there.

No way.

Get the battery replaced once in the phone's lifetime at a local 3rd party repair shop for €100 wait for half an hour and get your phone back.

These shops only service iPhones and Samsungs, there's only like 1-2 shops in Stockholm that repair Pixels and Xiaomis at all, let alone whatever 3 year old model you have. Not to mention things like screen and USB port repairs cost 100-200€ more than the fairphone parts.

(Fairphone tends to have availability issues with spare parts. For example, right now the FP5 battery is out of stock.)

I've had to wait a month for a fairphone battery before, but it's not like they're discontinued. I can imagine battery warehousing costs more than screens and USB ports.

A repairable phone is the most important thing. I could buy a used flagship, but the battery will be trashed. I used to buy a phone every 2 years but now I just buy a battery every 2 years. I can use my phone knowing that if anything breaks I can have a replacement part in within a week, and I don't have to spend 100€s to ship it to some repair shop in a different part of the country.

Fairphone 4 and 5 are also the only smartphones certified by the Swedish unions: https://tcocertified.com/product-finder/index?category=Smartphones

I have a grandfathered purchase of their app on android, works very well

Who in the US is buying midrange or flagship phones without a loan?

would probably take a month or two

Closing Hormuz would blockade the Saudis as well.

all home routers have NAT which functions as a firewall, but VPSes don't cone with any firewall by default, so you'd have to set one up. Also VPS ranges seem to hotter for scanning.

Yeah, I mean Rust is only verbose if you want it to be. let foo = "bar"; is valid rust too, no need to declare the type and definitely no need to declare the lifetime.

For that matter, if you ever declare something as explicitly 'static in code that isn't embedded or super optimized, you're probably doing it wrong.

That is not the argument stated in the article

Sánchez argued that Spain doesn't need to spend 5 percent of its GDP to fulfill its so-called capability targets, meaning new objectives of weapons inventory agreed by NATO defense ministers earlier this month.

He also wrote that a 5 percent defense spending goal would jeopardize the country’s welfare system, force the government to increase taxes on the middle class, scale back commitments to the green transition and curtail international development cooperation.

“It is the legitimate right of every government to decide whether or not they are willing to make those sacrifices,” he wrote.

Rushing to 5 percent would also force Madrid to buy off-the-shelf equipment instead of fostering its own industrial base, as well as take money away from welfare policies, Sánchez also wrote.

The Spanish Socialist party is in a coalition with the junior left-wing Sumar party, which opposes increased defense spending and whose members are expected to attend a counter-summit for peace in parallel to the NATO summit.

Your stuff is more likely to get scanned sitting in a VPS with no firewall than behind a firewall on a home network

Have you actually met any of them at say, Fosdem?

Can we stop letting chatbots make economic and administrative decisions, thanks

Ok, but then I'm just gonna give your car a little kick so you know you're hurting my ears.

Kidding, but yeah it can be really annoying, and also many drivers don't blip their horn like you're saying, and instead give a full honk. Anybody walking nearby gets an earache, and anybody living or shopping nearby has to deal with the noisy environment created. Probably better to just flash your highbeams or be more patient. The horn is not meant to police other drivers or signal noncritical information, you don't see people honking every time someone is texting while driving, or driving with their lights off.

Real talk, don't honk unless there is a danger of crashing.

Yes, the driver in front of you should not have their phone out. No, that does not give you the right to take your rage out on everyone in the surrounding neighborhood because you're mad about having to wait 10 seconds to start driving again.

Don't drive into a city and act like you have the right to be as loud as you want.

Yeah could just be word autoformatting
