In case someone actually wants to know the truth, here it is:

If I understand this correctly, using a European countries' location during setup should work. When all is done and dusted, set your actual location.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

For the record, the story is made up.

Fantastic article. Well worth the read.

The world has lost 5% to 10% of all insect species in the last 150 years — or between 250,000 and 500,000 species, according to a February 2020 study in the journal Biological Conservation. Those losses are continuing...

I knew we are losing insects, but I was wrong. We are shedding them! ☹️

As to the reasons, unsurprisingly:

...from habitat loss and industrial farming to climate change. Nitrogen overloading from sewage and fertilizers has turned wetlands into dead zones; artificial light is flooding out nighttime skies; and the growth of urban areas has led to concrete sprawl... the introduction of non-native plants...

It is us. Humans. All the way.

This will bite us badly at one point.

People who have kids now are old?

You haven't lived long yet, have you? 🙂

Again, only in the US.

Nevertheless, the right to remain silent is protected in many countries. Deciding whether to use it on the other hand, is not always easy.

Thought so.

Means I can safely disregard your statements.

Source?

Recently there was a thread trying to declare PHP obsolete.

Hard to beat this in efficiency:

    
function is_even($num) {
    return $num % 2 === 0;
}


  

That said, this should work similarly in most languages.

Symfony, Laravel & other PHP based frameworks are going strong. PHP isn't going away anytime soon.

Images like these that are pulled out of context make me stop believe most of what I read on the Internet. Leaving out the date like this in the current context can be manipulative.

Not much changed, to be fair, but pulling out a17 year old statistic is still bad form unless the point is made that nothing changed. That wasn't the point of OP, though.

Edit: spelling

Not that I fully disagree, just that there's a reason they didn't do it before. Probably more profitable to not have repairable devices. Not that they won't try to make the best of the current situation, as you said.

Also, it would likely be more expensive to produce a line of repairable products just for one state and do different for the others, so this is the best way of spinning this.

What's the source for this?

Logseq has an Android app. Zettlr doesn't.

Edit: I tested Logseq. It has the basic functionality down, so for many it might be great. For me, though, it doesn't come close to what is possible with the plugins of Obsidian. So for now I'll stick with Obsidian.

Simply the OS already makes that difficult, true. Nonetheless, it's one of your best bets.

For those who truly want to stay private, installing plugins on the Tor browser is obviously a no go. Changing any setting or even the window size should not be done. Seriously.

And I'd venture that Tor on phones might be the most homogenous, though that still isn't saying a lot, sadly. Plus, smartphones are a privacy nightmare regardless (tip of the iceberg).

In the end, fingerprinting makes true privacy very challenging. Great introduction to the topic.

And an advanced writeup with excellent resources for those who really want to get into the subject matter.

Edit: spelling

Unless browser fingerprinting is your concern, in which case the most generic, unmodified browser is best (e.g. Tor).

But that is a huge topic for another thread.
