Ask HN: Looking for webdesign templates for a consulting/software dev company

I've been doing webdesign for many years for a number of customers. For my own company/brand I struggle to create something I'm really happy with. Having created multiple MVPs to evaluate design decisions and none of them are really satisfying, I'm looking for a ready-to-use solution. They don't have to be free, I'm perfectly happy to pay for a good product. My company is focused on consulting,...

It seems like the community of CalyxOS is attacking and harassing members of the GrapheneOS project.
For reference, there's a very interesting documentary [1] about the impact of renewable energy on the environment.

This is utter nonsense!

Just watch what Germany has done to its economy in the past couple years. In Germany all energy prices - and especially electric energy - are the highest on the planet! Germany is shutting down nuclear and coal energy plants but has nothing to compensate them. The only solution is to buy nuclear and coal energy from other european countries to high prices.

Wind and solar is a complete failure, economically and ecologically. Germany has invested billions in renewable energies but got nothing out of it. Only destroying its own ecnonomy. Let this be an example to all other countries.

Now, the EU is declaring gas and nuclear as environmentally friendly (maby because France is pushing) but what a complete shit show the EU has become is unbelievable. The european energy grid has gotten really fragile because there is not enough energy "production".

Corruption is everywhere. German taxpayers have to pay compensation money to coal companies because contracts between the state and these companies where terminated early. German taxpayers are paying for renewable energy sources that can never keep their promises. Again, the state signs contracts with big corporations and also gives them subsidies (taxpayer money). Now there's not enough energy available, blackouts are a real possibility but no one is resonsible.

There are no well thought out plans, only lobbyists of the corporations to get even richer, and corrupt politicians who profit from it.

I haven't tried it jet but it seems like vivaldi still integrates google services?

Thanks. I will try this out.

Ask HN: Alternative to Google Chrome for web developers on macOS?

Hi,I use Google Chrome mainly because I need it for my job (web development) and therefore almost all of the time.I keep fighting against all the google servics, trying to keep them as muted and blocked as possible. One annoying thing is that I always have to update rules in Little Snitch after every minor chrome update.I tried to install Chromium directly from the Chromium project website...

Well, everyone who is surprised by headlines like this one should pick up some books. For example "How Not To Die" from Michael Greger, M.D. [1].

Dual-Sim on Android?

Hello HN,I‘m thinking of getting a second mobile number to seperate between work and private.I don‘t want to handle two different devices so I‘m looking for a device with dual-sim functionality.

Maybe they took the „f*ck it, ship it“ advice too seriously and shipped it a bit too fast?

Who knows but after learning this I would be highly cautious to buy anything from this company until they‘ve proofen to be more careful in the future.

There are many researchers that come to the complete opposite conclusion. Most of the Animal products we can buy today are produced too cheaply and thus not very healthy to eat in large quantities.

Just watch „What the Health“[1] or „Cowspiracy“[2] and tell ne what you think about it?
