> There are a lot of casualties on both sides of conflicts around the world. It is a bit suspicious when certain communities want to focus almost exclusively on one side of one conflict, while also leaving out any context about the terrorists that started the conflict and fight in civilian clothing.

You make it sound like both sides experienced the same amount of casualties, blockades and massive displacement from their homes during the conflict

Curiously "clanker" is not on the list

Sucks that there's no USB-B support. Plenty of monitors still use it and many printers do as well

would an adapter fill the gap until support is added?

For older cables there's a guy who's posted a large list of test stats somewhere... ah, here we go, I remember the "long thin resistor" comment: https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/usb_cable.html. tl;dr, you can't go wrong with Anker. Also, there's some absolute garbage out there.

My favorite big-brained way of quitting is ZZ (save and quit) and ZQ (quit without saving). Learned these shortcuts from a video by the legendary Luke Smith [1].

Brilliant. When is the next International Obfuscated Vim Exit contest?

I misread that as "Intentional Obfuscated Vim Exit contest", which led me to wonder what the Unintentional version would bring.

`:!sudo shutdown`

Children of Time is a incredible book. It's the first Sci-Fi book that I read and I enjoyed it thoroughly

> Nobody is reading a PhD thesis or a scholarly journal on the bus.

As someone who is involved in academia, I can attest that most of my colleagues (including myself) do in fact read quite a few papers on buses (and trams - can't forget those)

> The EU has always been focused on harming its citizens.

Insanely bonkers take. What sources do you have for this?

Being German lol

Such advice always seemed weird to me, but I suppose that is because I just haven't ever encountered a paranoid cop

Although I do agree with some that you listed, I think that many do have alternatives:

- Audiobooks can be listened on other devices besides smartphones

- A dedicated camera is a very good option for taking high-quality photos fast, but I do agree that instant sharing is not a possibility

- GPS tracking is available on many watches, even non-Smartwatches like the ones Garmin designs

- You can pay with a credit / debit card via NFC - just as fast as with a smartphone

- You can find restaurants and other places through maps, tourism centers, etc. Or there's a option for researching where to go before heading out
