I've been trying nushell and words fail me. It's like it was made for actual humans to use! 🤯 🤯 🤯

It even repeats the column headers at the end of the table if the output takes more than your screen...

Trying to think of how to do the same thing with awk/grep/sort/whatever is giving me a headache. Actually just thinking about awk is giving me a headache. I think I might be allergic.

I'm really curious, what's your favorite shell? Have you tried other shells than your distro's default one? Are you an awk wizard or do you run away very fast whenever it's mentioned?

A developer repurposed discarded disposable vapes into functioning web servers by utilizing their built-in PUYA microcontrollers[^1]. The project runs on a 24MHz Cortex M0+ chip with 24KiB flash storage and 3KiB RAM, found inside modern rechargeable "disposable" vapes[^6].

The web server implementation uses uIP for TCP/IP networking and communicates via SLIP protocol through semihosting. After optimizing the data transfer with ring buffers, the server achieves 20ms ping times and 160ms page load speeds[^6].

The project demonstrates creative e-waste reuse at a time when disposable vapes face increasing restrictions, with recent bans enacted in Rhode Island[^13] and other jurisdictions. The developer notes the irony of "disposable" devices containing USB-C ports and rechargeable batteries[^6].

No thanks..

The Polish foreign ministry has revealed that Google has rejected complaints over a series of YouTube videos in Polish published by the Israeli embassy that Poland says are spreading “disinformation” about the situation in Gaza by casting doubt on reports of starvation there.

In late July and early August, the embassy posted six videos claiming that Israel is providing large amounts of humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, that stories about starvation are Hamas propaganda uncritically shared by international media, and that it is the UN which is blocking aid trucks from entering.

“Google responded that the promoted materials were consistent with its policies and values”,

New payment system Wero: First retailers opt for PayPal alternative

PayPal, Visa, and others are facing competition: With Wero, Europe wants to launch its own payment service. The first retailers in Germany are already on board—but the question remains: Do customers even want to switch?

The Wero payment project, led by the EPI (European Payments Initiative) banking alliance, is picking up speed. The digital payment system is in direct competition with services such as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Klarna.

The Wero system is based on SEPA real-time payments, which means payments can be sent in a matter of seconds. The aim is to create a Europe-wide alternative to American payment services.

According to Lebensmittel Zeitung, the first German retailers want to integrate the new payment option into their online shops as early as October. “Preparations are underway, and the integration will take place step by step,” says EPI CEO Martina Weimert.

Mediamarkt and Co. want to test Wero

Mediamarkt-Saturn is one of the first major players to want to use Wero. However, there is no exact start date yet. According to industry circles, Otto and Rossmann are also taking a close look at the project.

The focus on a payment system like Wero is no coincidence: PayPal, Mastercard, and Visa have a firm grip on the market. Added to this are geopolitical tensions, which are reinforcing the desire for a European solution. “Developments in recent months show how important it is to have our own European solution in times of transatlantic tensions,” says Weimert in an interview with Lebensmittel Zeitung.

PayPal alternative Wero: Do people really want to switch?

Acceptance remains a sticking point. According to a study by the EHI Institute, many retailers fear that it will be difficult to lure customers away from established systems. “Customers need good reasons to switch from established systems to a new one,” warns Horst Rüter, payment transactions expert at EHI.

In any case, Weros' plans go beyond online retail: starting in 2026, customers will also be able to pay at supermarket checkouts using QR codes or NFC, directly via an app on their smartphones.

According to Bavarian broadcaster Bayerischer Rundfunk, around 1.8 million people in Germany have registered for Wero so far, with 43 million across Europe. The payment service is particularly widespread in France and Belgium.

Germany, France, and Belgium are currently the only countries offering Wero, but other countries are set to follow.

Hi! My current watch strap is falling apart and I need a new one. Google searches yield 99% cheap chinese stuff, or "boring" straps. I want one with multiple lighter colours that are not just stripes.

Looking for recommendations (for either shops or straps or other resources to continue my search). Also, how reliable is etsy as a source for quality stuff?

Thanks for your help! :)

The Cuban community, which voted massively for the president in the November elections, is confronting a longstanding tradition of supporting conservative policies

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency in charge of processing immigration applications, goes around asking coworkers and neighbors whether someone is eligible for U.S. citizenship or not, in the style of the Cuban Committees for the Defense of the Revolution (CDR).

The American government attacks the LGBTQ+ community… just like the Cuban government did in the 1960s.

Donald Trump has flirted with staying longer in the White House, in the same way in which Fidel Castro — having tasted so much power during his lifetime — decided to lead Cuba for nearly half a century. The former has already devoted efforts toward attacking opposing ideologies and freedom of expression, concepts that the latter completely nullified.

In a symbolic reversal, the town of Cochrane, Ab., has voted to stay in a national net-zero initiative, despite being targeted by an AI-powered misinformation campaign.

“I don’t like the precedent this sets,” said the town’s mayor, Jeff Genung, at a council meeting Monday night. Genung was concerned that if Cochrane exited the program, it could be used as an example to reverse environmental policies in other communities.

The net-zero initiative, Partners for Climate Protection, is Canada’s flagship municipal environmental framework with over 500 members. It advises local governments on conducting emissions inventories, target-setting, action planning, implementation and monitoring.

Trade unions in Seoul demanded an apology from President Trump after some 300 South Korean workers were detained by US immigration police known as ICE. Trump said he does not want to "frighten off" foreign investment.
