It is nice, but not e-ink

Definitely not new. However, in many practical applications you can sorta kinda ignore it (but definitely not all!).

Post, Railway, just FYI.

Bullshit. I can use docker without the docker hub very easily. Anyone can host docker images, and docker allows this, no weird hacks needed.

Docker does not lock you in with the docker hub though. So no hostage taking.

But not if there are no timezones! Probably someone would find a way to display the shift anyway, but this is basically the old timezone system again, but without a (more-or-less) universal standard.

In China the vast vast majority of people live in a single timezone at the coast, so this is not really comparable.

Aweful idea: do you want to plan a meeting at 16:00 with colleagues in the US? It is very hard to tell if this makes sense without timezones. Is this in their working day? Or the equivalent of midnight? Or something else? There are no timezones, so there is no way of telling without looking at some shady website how many hours you are shifted - which is basically the concept of timezones anyway, but shittier.

I think this is quite a common criticism to have, but a top-100 uni like this probably profits from keeping the status quo. Takes a bit of courage to step up.

It can hide cookie banners for you with the right settings. Since gdpr dictates no choice = no cookies, this should block all tracking stuff.

I don’t remember what exactly you need to enable, but you can use DDG to find out.

Oops, yup, very true, I always confuse the Greek and Roman gods 😅

Just because I was curious: Sony comes from sonos, sound in Latin. Nike is the Roman Greek God of victory. Lego is is a Danish abreviation for “play well”. Cisco comes from San Fransisco. Adobe is the name of a Creek near the founders house.

No (or very limited) editing in Okular…

ESA is not an internet provider, and also not a surveillance company? Or at least, not that I know of.
