How many bureaucrats does that $1300 have to pay before it reaches the ambulance driver?

The US healthcare system is notorious for bloat. Taxpayers pay more for healthcare than countries with free healthcare.

Depends on the effort.

If you want a newbie friendly one with syncing: Feedly

If you care about open source and controlling your own data (but don't care about syncing). Maybe liferea? There are tons of options.

If you care about syncing and don't mind self-hosting: miniflux.

I use miniflux, but requires some tech knowledge to set up.

I have a RSS reader that I check everyday for articles / blogposts from websites I subscribe to.

The interesting stuff gets saved in Wallabag to read later. It syncs with my phone, and I can read offline whenever I got some time to kill.

What are you on about?

African countries have been flooded by Chinese goods, to the point that it has killed the local manufacturing in Africa. Look it up.

They don't have the service industry the west has, so the only thing they can offer in return are raw materials, which China is happy to take.

Lemmy seems to hate went a western company exploits natural resources in Africa, but when China does it, they are somehow saving those poor people from the goodness of their hearts.

China isn't really desperate for cheap natural resources as much as they are desperate for markets to export their manufactured goods.

Thus killing local manufacturing.

Someone should keep an eye on Linus.

Why someone keeps chasing the latest gadgets when the old ones work just fine is beyond me.

Nobody is waiting every year for the brand new line of washing machines. Why is there a need to swap phones this frequently?

I imagine it wouldn't take long until someone finds a way to disable that LED.

Not a blog, but a way of discovering new blogs. I subscribe to the unofficial best hacker news submissions RSS feed.

I found the blog on a IT guy that works in a research station in Antarctica.

For reference, looks like a variation of this.

Yes the interface is a mess. But it's ridiculously deep once you get into it.

 

I'm looking for a privacy-respecting open-source android keyboard, and so far I've found:

Does anyone have any experience with these (or other alternative keyboards)? Which one would you recommend?
