Re:Disposable vapes to be banned in England and Wales on Friday October 25, 2024 @12:23PM (#41946783)
I’m a UK vaper (former smoker) and while I’m sure I’m going to find this annoying (disposables are helpful in a pinch when your proper vape has run out of battery or liquid), it’s clearly the right thing to do.

The e-waste involved in that sub-industry must be absolutely horrifying. Tens of millions of tiny little batteries, surrounded in plastic, lingering quantities of nicotine-rich liquids…

Glad this is happening.

I’ll take the inconvenience on the chin lol

They could also include little leaflets about “Land Declarations” with iPhones and other such rubbish, but that does’t mean it would be a wise policy.

I might be missing something but why would you want to use a terminal interface when a GUI is so much easier?
Re:Show HN: A simple and powerful RSS reader for the web on Wednesday August 21, 2024 @10:51AM (#41310876)
I used to love using RSS readers to get my news, but at this point so few of the papers/websites I read actually offer non-truncated RSS feeds that I don't see the viability of RSS readers anymore. I guess they did that to prevent people getting around paywalls.
