Sublime Text isn't expensive and I think others could learn from the creators how to deal with people who don't have money (yet) to pay for it.

Yes that would be awesome! Unfortunately the providers of the OS'es we use don't bother with this. What would the world be like if you could run anything anywhere and most importantly: how would you decide that you prefer a mac to

I totally agree with you. Yes there is some national laws which differ but in the end it's open data. Today everything open enough can be considered "free to do whatever people want to do with it". Before doing anything in th

That is the typical 1-dimensional view of one who has the money to pay for art, literature and culture. Do you also believe the story that sony bmg etc. loose money because of pirating? The opposite is true! Pirates become fans and eventual

Thank you very much, now I don't have to answer anymore. Have a good day :)

This isn't a problem. Software can find the delta and filter it out.

Just stop defending this company please, they tried this a lot and look at how much telemetry they managed to get into windows and other products nowadays. I can't listen to this naive way of dealing with these companies anymore. Use i

Just wrap your phone into some tinfoil and it's over ;-)

That's an interesting point and I can't really compare that. But I noticed with an old thinkpad (x220) that I can reduce overall resource consumption and prolong battery life just by switching everything I can to a more terminal-c

Aaaaaand Cpt. CAPITAL strikes again! :-D This is only possible in a world where nonsensical bullshit is rewarded with a big pile of money. In a world we'd all want there would be ONE SERVICE on earth that has EVERYTHING. As long as the

No, it didn't get enough before because everyone thought they'd need some shiny sh t. Instead TUI's work just fine for a lot of things while consuming less of your computers resources as well as being easy on your eyes and st

They won't and probably they never will on their own. The west still controls the most powerful entities in Africa and also the Chinese are pushing forward with their "belt and road" strategy.

Hate me for this but: It's ok. We don't need all those bankers and if we'd manage to manage our finances better as a world we wouldn't even need those jobs and a lot of these institutions.

In my opinion this is the only solution that will lead to success of the human race. For me that is not destroying our planet, evolving in the "right" direction (more education, more science and especially more ethics). At the mom

I am with you here but: 1. It's never about what benefits humanity, it's just about money most of the times 2. Every country and probably several companies of each country will do this as long as we are the divided world we have t

I think so, too. There's just not enough room and resources for a world full of egoists who all want to be snow flakes.

by VvR-Ox 7y ago
I didn't say that "all egoism is bad". A little bit helps you to stay healthy when helping others for example (if you're sick and weak you cannot help others anymore). What I very much dislike however is this artificiall

A lot, especially in the US newspapers. On the other hand the articles I linked to, contain serious science backed claims. Also I don't see much value for someone to increase fear of a mass extinction of insects. If a newspaper tries t

Exactly. That's why I don't think the "social score" idea from China is so stupid after all. I hate this egoistic, pseudo-individualistic lifestyle that is sold here in the west just because it helps people to feel like

So you think this is just fear mongering? I don't. Others think this is alarming as well: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/10/plummeti... https://www.nationalgeographic.co

It doesn't really matter what you choose - you won't get the choice you really want in our world (at least not that fast and it won't be as shiny and exciting as the advertised stuff we can buy already). One should consider s

This is a very important point indeed! It's anxiety that drives national-socialists for example. Do we want them to rise again? I don't think so! Also your example with the psychopath is a very good one. Success and money are not

Very interesting. When I was working with young people I noticed something completely different (in europe). They tend to be better at communication with technologies but a lot worse in real face-to-face communication. They stand some meter

Looks really interesting, thank you for sharing! How does it compare to jDownloader (jdownloader.org)? It can analyze the clipboard - when I paste a YT link it asks me if I only want the video or the whole playlist. I can choose from format

The message I get is "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported". It appears in the square where the video would appear (firefox & safari). It also seems

Thank you very much for sharing! I'm afraid atm it doesn't work for me (iPhone SE - iOS 12.3.1 - Firefox & Safari). Nevertheless their work is awesome and the idea to aggregate all the things and let user's enjoy them wit

No. But I think the people who know how to install a windows can also install ubuntu.

Aren't there apps to do that for you nowadays? :-D

Yes, +1! I love ncurses and I appreciate every moment I can do my work / some task with a super-fast TUI app instead of using one of these bloated electron-apps or web ui's. I want to add: * newsbeuter (rss aggregator) * nmt
