That's cool, I'll have to find some usernames so I can look discover the different roles.

Small suggestion: trim inputs. My phone added a space after my username and I saw "Error Finding Entity" until I deleted the rogue %20 from the results URL.

Yes, the article mentions that:

This year, aerosols have been of particular interest because of a 2020 international regulation that restricted pollution from ships

I'd like to believe this is canny use of the Streisand Effect, but in a company as big as Reuters it's more likely to be lawyers.

It still needs a gullible user to change their settings for this to work; not much to worry about here.

It is far too confusing what to use - even as someone who uses Linux on various servers, a media centre, WSL and used to run a Gentoo laptop I still don't know which distro to use, let alone which of KDE/Gnome, X11/Wayland, init/systemd etc.

Yeah, it's bizarre since kbin even also calls them magazines, so any half-hearted search will find the concept.

Good question. The documentation says:

On the left side of each post there are up and down arrows, which let you upvote or downvote it. You can upvote posts that you like so that more users will see them. Or downvote posts so that they are less likely to be seen.

which doesn't really back me up.

My downvote principle was meant more generally - most places that have a downvote policy say that it's not meant for shouting down people you disagree with, since that's not conducive for civil and nuanced conversations.

No, the downvote is meant to be for things that don't contribute to the discussion, not for things you disagree with.

I thought there was a type of bug called a notgull at first but that's the author's handle. The bugs are a use-after-free and an invalid pointer that was wrong due to an unsound calculation in non-unsafe code.

This isn't meant as a saved you a click summary; the article's worth the read!

I like it, and I think the simplicity means it'll be quite flexible.

That's really interesting, thanks. I hope you're feeling better soon!
