> The death toll from the attack on an elementary school in Minab climbed past 165, most of them under age 12, with nearly 100 others wounded, according to Iranian health officials.

Aside from the obvious horrifyng aspect of this, that's also a lot of people who are going to remember this sorely. Pretty sure none of this is going to be beneficial to the future of anyone involved, on both sides.

C'mon, only 2 years and 9.5 months to go...

Is the term "warfighter" new? I had never hears it until recently. Sounds like "soldier" would be the usual terminology.

Yeah, right? Are we just... talking with bots?

Prove me wrong :)

The amount of code committed per day suggest some kind of automation.

Also, a passionate programmer usually will add a "why this exists" in his readme.

I'd be very surprised if this wasn't AI.

This is a great example of how people waste our planet's resources faster with AI.

Seriously, in what world do we need a rust compiler in php? I'd rather have cheap RAM and storage, which I can't because of this kind of stupid idea.

I wonder how much energy was wasted on this. How many people got poisoned or killed in mines to create the GPUs that spewed out this useless code.

The fact that we can do something doesn't mean we should. It's time to end this madness.

EDIT: yeah keep your downvotes coming. Ignore the obvious problem. Easy, it's invisible, just don't think about it.

I much prefer maximizing screen to body ratio, even if some sacrifices have to be made: rounded corners and punchhole cam.

I'm also pretty sure rounded corners are stronger on impact.

Well let's check again in two years then.

The same two years as in "full self driving available in 2 years"?

Right.

I've been using this phone for a few weeks now, switching from a galaxy s21.

Perfectly happy. I hope I can keep using it for a long time. Don't expect flagship performance, but it's fine for daily use.

Ah maybe just one thing: lots of accidental screenshots due to the placement of the volume buttons.

Honest question here: why do people hate systemd so much?
Re:PauseOS: Distraction-Free Phone OS on Tuesday January 13, 2026 @11:20AM (#46603082)
I need my phone mostly for external emergencies reason.

1. Something is wrong at work and needs my attention (life of an ops guy) 2. Something is wrong with one of the living beings close to my heart.

So I end up having a phone with me at all times. I did manage to get rid of mainstream social media apps on it, but I do end up on hackernews a lot.

Oooh that level... I was young when I played that game, and did not see that one coming. I also fell by the side. Memory is a bit blurry thankfully, but I erred for a while trying to climb up. I think it was a bug. Caused a few nightmares...
You can also indent with spaces and tabs at the same time, who's judging?
Well done Bose! This puts you higher on the list for my next purchase.

I don't understand why so many comments here are negative. This is a nice move, and Bose should be thanked and encouraged to do similar moves again. It's a step in the right direction!

Ooh just what I needed, thanks!
