It's helpful to be reminded that, yes, there are people out there like that. Learn to detect them early on.

I get the point being made, and it makes sense, however the ending begins to sound a lot like the "640k is enough" (that wasn't actually said) but was used by a lot of people for their incredulity of how much more progress could there be, or be necessary. It also reminds me of an old Popular Science article of the 50s that tried to imagine how life would be in 2000. They got a lot of the technical things close, which is sort of what this post is trying to suggest, that we can imagine what's technically possible for science. But they got a lot of the social aspects of how things could be used wrong or totally didn't see it, as the necessity of use changes.

If they're just keeping the suggestion of categories of software very broad, then I suppose new needs could be pushed under existing headings, but I think they're reaching to say more that everything we might need in the future already has a category with something there, and anything else isn't a need.

Senate seat or Speaker of the House, let her gain more power in Congress and help to transform the other seats there to progressives a state and district at a time. Also keeps her potentially in control longer than even an eight term Presidential position. Granted, it is possible to drop back down to Congress after President, but I don't think it's been done much or at all, and certainly not in today's world where the security would be a big deal. Her momentum and baggage, even if it was a good Presidency, will impede her work, and again that's eight years lost in changing the larger picture of the government. The long term goals are I think far more important here than the next four or eight years.

Good question, the actual idea for both is a great one and not something I was aware of.

Looking up an actual comparison, I can't find one yet since this is so new, but perhaps that's part of the plus, since new might mean better transfer process and speed, security, etc. Old isn't always a bad thing, but some commentary I ran across looking for alternatives to Syncthing was because it had limitations they ran into due to it being designed for specific needs and not general purpose?

Five seconds? What's hogging that system? Mine is about two, at most, from the WM shutdown selection.

Unfortunately because of how federation works you don't get a single All page that has everything already decided for you or linked to all that is out there. It sucks that it does require a bit of knowledge and effort before you start seeing things come in, and maybe one day there will be better newbie paths. It's better than it was early on where it was total confusion on how to pick an instance or how anything even works.

What's funny is that the best part of Reddit was always the small niche subreddits.

More eventual retirement money invested in the market then.

The blue collar worker should try this approach. Oh, right. We wouldn't have a job in a few days.

You could make the same case for a browser, an email client, a graphics or video editor, etc. The UI is an interface to basic core processes that are usually the same that all have, with some extras on the top for uniqueness and features that might be more appealing than other UIs.

Never thought about it, but don't most of their movies have 4th wall breaks anyway?

No different in action that all the major companies and governments putting in backdoor stuff for various purposes. The only saving grace is that it is readable code here, but is the fact it wasn't found early on the fault the person who wrote it, or the community that didn't see it?

Would people have used it if it was commented and documented on its purpose? That should tell you something. And if you say yes, that should tell you something as well on how much you want to defend this.

All the drama and stuff beyond this was wrong. But this is core of open source, to make sure code is valid and honest and to call out bugs and maliciousness. Are the people who found and reported it responsible for others' actions after they were pissed about it? Of course not. Doesn't make things beyond dropping the use of it okay, but hey, consequences. Maybe don't do things behind people's back.

It's all Republicans, and some Democrats. Oh, and some Republicans that label themselves as Democrats, even running as one. Which should be illegal and prosecutable as election fraud.
