I feel like if you react to any left-wing posts like a you're the main role in a 50's red scare propaganda video, they've already won.

Like, it's just Design. Different car makes and years have different design languages. Also, they usually have a big shiny logo that tells you the make, so you can go "huge Audi saloon" -> "A8".

"Real" conversion therapy likely would have been damaging and more expensive. Also, that cash may have given anon some leverage to do things without his parents knowing, also a good thing in the situation described.

A bit of a scam, sure, but it's not like "real" conversion therapy isn't, while also inflicting trauma on the recipients.

Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.

A modern replacement for OpenScan. It's workable, but some features don't work on Modern Android, and a good Scanner app is probably something most people could use. Could look at Adobe Scan and Office Lens for feature inspiration.

Why does that sound like a threat?

737-300, so not a new plane. Don't think this has much to do with the current Boeing problems. Probably maintenance issues at the charter firm, or pilot error.

Is that necessarily bad, though? I always felt that the infrastructure around snap, and not the underlying technology, was what people had problems with.

Also, this feels like an appropriate time to shill for Aegis instead of Authy. Or any foss 2FA solution, really.

High Voltage DC transmission system. So, not overly sinister, and probably needed.

Never thought about how many ways you can translate Anlage.

Isn't Telegram home to a lot of stuff that most people associate with the dark Web? I mean, there's groups you can buy illicit material, both digital and physical in, and some radicals as well as a lot of conspiracy nuts use it to organise.

I mean, you can probably find stuff like that with any messenger, but Telegram offers public discoverability for groups, so it's more visible.

It doesn't actually mean much in a technical sense, but I think you can write an article with that premise without most people seeing it as clickbait.

Depends on the celebrity. Neil Gaiman is actually pretty chill online. Takei too, but the amount of articles he posts started to annoy me, so I dumped him. I don't really know what people see in Zuck, though.

I got a used ThinkPad for that price a year ago. Needed a laptop, and was a broke student. Really repairable - it's easy to take apart, not glued, and most parts seem to be available at Aliexpress for reasonable prices. It's still doing it's job, and even though I could afford upgrading it now, I don't really see a reason to.

The last time I had a look at the market for new laptops, most things 300€ (which should be close enough to $300) would buy you where, judging by the components, bound to be painfully slow. If it really needs to be new, I'd look for stores that have discounts, and look up the model on iFixit or a simmilar resource to check how repairable it is.
