Why should we cede Tolkien to those villians?

I agree with you, but I can report that in Germany people ring bells constantly and it is simply considered normal. Big cultural difference.

This is what dev.exe is great for, and it comes with Pi and its own coding agent Shelley preloaded. Also it’s incredibly fast and you can easily access the VMs from your phone.

This is very much AI written, right? The voice sounds like Claude.

I also found Angular to be a nightmare. I enjoy Astro, Svelte, even Preact can be fun. There are many to try. My comment above was just a joke, but I'm getting downvoted.

React benign? That’s the first time I’ve seen this suggestion on HN. Usually it’s held responsible for great crimes and wrongs.

Ah thanks. I’m sympathetic to this, but I don’t expect most people to be able to draw that line.

Thank you, I understand all of this. My question was about the reference to "petty and bitter."

The OpenCode bun dependency is an unsettling issue I would imagine.

This is not my impression, could you explain what you're talking about?

I tried to read this and I have no idea what it's about after +10 paragraphs. Needs a good edit.

> Entrepreneurs, founders, and companies will be able to found an EU Inc. company within 48 hours, for less than €100 and with no minimum share capital requirements.

This alone would be an amazing change. Let's hope it gets through and isn't entirely watered down. Looking at you, Germany... Honestly sounds far to practical an approach for DACH.

btw the link is incorrect. Should be https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_26_...

This also happens to me living in EU and purchasing EN language titles. I am not 100% certain but I believe this happens because export editions (editions sold outside of the licensing territory) are now printed on demand by Amazon.

The author seems very distressed by this but it's a simple problem to fix: order your books from a bookstore. You'll be surprised what they are able to order.
