incus is not a random tool. It's a fork of LXD and maintained under linuxcontainers.org
Without any context you might as well be arguing about favorite colors

> sandbox everything. Docker containers
Docker is not a sandbox. How many times does this needs to be repeated? If you are lazy, I would highly suggest to use incus for spinning up headless VMs in a matter of seconds
Perhaps the reason people keep repeating it is that someone makes the statement without any reasons, provides an alternative again without any reasons.
"Why are you not using docker to sandbox your code?"
"Umm.. someone on HN told me docker is not a sandbox, to use randomtool instead"

It seems irrational to me to switch to chrome (and where else could you switch to?) over data sale concerns. A more rational approach could be a Firefox fork that preserves privacy.
Privacy is a big deal for many, especially if you grew up before the age of telemetry everywhere.
For now, a privacy preserving chromium fork will do, until hopefully the Ladybird project is mature enough to provide alternatives

I am happy for a new browser/engine but I'm highly skeptical that Ladybird will ever come close to Chrome or Firefox in terms of features, compatibility and performance. It's just very hard to imagine. There's servo and look at where it is after 13 years!
No offense to anyone really but browser engines are inhumane amount of talent and effort. Might as well just keep making Firefox better.
Firefox doubled down on using/selling user data for advertising purposes, so that's a big reason for avoiding it.
I held onto it as someone who didn't even like the politics of the people behind it (the beauty of open source), for the sake of browser engine diversity, but changing terms of service of use of personal data was the final blow

Personal decisions in healthcare are about more than just abortion.
For example, if miscarriages are criminalized, and access to birth control is restricted - both real things that have been attempted or have actually happened in the US as a part of anti-choice policies - the only safe choice is to not have sex, ever. Which means you're probably never going to have kids, instead of before where there was a chance you'd get pregnant and then decide whether to have the child or not. Now it's too risky to even have a chance of getting pregnant if you have no autonomy. I certainly would never risk it in a state with anti-choice policies.
The intent of these policies might be to raise the birth rate, but I'm not sure they're going to do that. We'll see, I guess.
IMO the demographic crisis is more likely to be influenced by other factors, like the rising costs of raising children, the increasing constraints and pressures on parents, etc. But those policies don't help.
Statistics show that kids brought up with both parents have much better prospects in life.
The decision to have kids should be a deliberate commitment between the parents, not some kind of lottery where one falls pregnant then decides what to do next.
It's better not to fall pregnant at all otherwise

The H1B path has always been harder than hiring remotely/offshoring

That is the thing with Wayland, it is much harder to create a window manager for Wayland. IIRC, fvwm decided not to create a Wayland version due to the difficulty.
When Wayland replacing X, lots of cool window managers and mini applications will be gone.

There's hope due to the recent x11 fork, xlibre. They intend to keep x11 support ongoing

But the Church didn't believe in the universality of anything other than their own authority and correctness. Jews, Muslims, and "pagans" (even Protestants and other heretical Christians) were routinely harassed and killed, women were essentially the property of men, slavery was ubiquitous and kings ruled by divine right, all justified by Christian dogma. And they didn't believe in reasoning outside of an explicitly Christian framework or discerning any moral truth not grounded in Biblical doctrine.
Christianity may have inspired the Enlightenment, but the Enlightenment succeeded because it was able to separate philosophy, ethics, law and science (such as it was, "natural philosophy") from Biblical dogma and the Church.
When thinking about Christianity, I personally make the distinction between the Christian faith, and the various Churches i.e. the political institutions that grew around the Christian faith.
In its first few centuries Christianity was community-centered, until about the 4th century when it started getting institutionalized in Rome.
Great job in training nigeriens to pick up fossil preservation work. Glad the government is taking a rational approach in collaborating with the US based archeologist.
