No, the answer is to meaningfully punish that business so that it costs them more than they gained by abusing it. LinkedIn should be burned to the ground, frankly.

Linus admitted himself that his behavior was sometimes out of line. That doesn't mean he was always "an asshole", just that sometimes he was. He has accepted that and worked to change it. Stop trying to paint progress as a ba

I mean, yes, but they are also throwing $1B at it each quarter, so is it really surprising that the expectations are high?

That's completely counter to my experience. I run my KDE desktop 24/7 in very much the way you are describing and it works very reliably.

It is (or at least used to be) pretty easy to end up with a detached HEAD when working with submodules and aren't sure what you are doing. It definitely didn't need an "obviously weird" action.

This has always been the thing for me - I hate reading a novel and not going cover-to-cover. I get so immersed and coming out of it feels like ruining the experience.

Sounds interesting, the big thing for me is GPG support though - U2F is actually my secondary use case. Working on plugins is good, but I'd want to know it was equivalently useful for me.

App based 2FA is still more vulnerable to phishing than a U2F key, because it relies on the user to check they are entering the code into the right website. It's also faster and easier (no pulling out your phone, getting a code, typing

There is the 5C (non-nano) where that argument doesn't apply anyway.

It is annoying you have to choose between USB-C and NFC. I was really hoping I could have both in a new device. I have a 4C and think it is great - the only downside is the lack of NFC and that only a subset of sites support it, but more ar

Telling someone they are lazy or they didn't think isn't critique of their work, it's a statement about them as a person. If the work is wrong or bad, explain why. Insulting someone doesn't help them improve. If you argu

No, but what is your aim? If your aim is to make yourself feel better by putting someone down, then sure, I guess the person is responsible for the code, go nuts. The aim of any adult should be to get a contribution without the flaws. If th

Yes, feelings matter. "Going personal", as the grandparent pointed out, doesn't help anyone improve themselves. You can point out issues with someone's contribution without attacking them, and that's all they need t

Or we could have stayed in the EU rather than just aiming to try and lead a race to the bottom where the public gains nothing from companies that use our infrastructure, market and people.

So you are saying we can get the companies back paying even less tax? Why are you presenting this like it's a good thing?

My argument would be: we should have worked harder to make the rules good in the first place. Yes, I agree that damage to the credibility of the system is bad, but it can easily be the lesser of two evils. We have release valves like bankru

The attitude of 'I suffered so others should have to' is really damaging. I get why that's the instinctive response, but it's also going to lead to a worse society. By all means argue for a solution that also helps peopl

I never really got why pineapple on pizza is considered weird - at least here in the UK it's common to get a gammon steak with pineapple on it, or have roast pork with apple sauce which is a similar concept. I can get not liking it if

It's not hypocritical to do different things in different situations. You keep stating this, but you still can't show me what they got wrong in this case.

Your link is broken, but she absolutely has apologised: https://twitter.com/sarahjeong/status/1025050118989332480 Yes, she was a victim, she also admitted she was wrong, and said she would not do it again, and she

It isn't a double standard, because the standard is consistent: - People are responsible for what they say and can and should be fired if they support abhorrent policy or abuse people. - People should always be able to reform and come

Uh... you really haven't been paying attention if you think there is a "solid consensus" on open borders in the UK. We have never had "open borders", and Brexit is going to mean reduced immigration. Economic policy

"Uncontrolled immigration" isn't something they are arguing for, and feminism is a "far-left" viewpoint now? This "far-left" talk just seems fabricated to create a "both sides" narrative with the

Maybe we have seen different articles from them - I admit I'm definitely not an avid reader - but I haven't seen what you are describing. You claim they write articles saying "mass migration is unquestionably good" but e

Is being neutral reporting on facts or is it reporting a viewpoint at the middle of the two parties? Those are two very different things. As someone from the UK, a country that is pretty far to the right of most of Europe, and yet still f

Weaponizing old, out-of-context tweets is just the new alt-right playbook. James Gunn is the other obvious example. Yes, these people posted things that were bad ideas. They also apologised, made it clear they were not serious about what wa

"Far left" is a pretty polarising way to describe them. I'm from the UK, which is a country which is firmly on the right of most of Europe, and policy in the US is extremely far right of here. The reporting I've seen fro
