Current education process does not seem to be successful at sorting by "intelligence", "success in life" or any other metric I can think of. So this seems actually like a good argument to change it (maybe towards coopera

And a lot of people honestly think that IRC is terrible platform. And that slack is not "insanely overpriced". Guess which opinion is more popular. Now think again about this "doing well to their customers"

Sorry for late reply but your response is hillarious - Vivaldi is just re-skined Chrome. New Opera too. Old Opera (presto engine) was developed over a decade, so not really example of "how to easily write web browser".

What about "Trump is Russian puppet." I hate the guy and he does sorround himself with scumbags, but this implied narrative sounds like fairly generic conspiracy. "Scandals" like Cambridge Analytica "confirming&quot

Well for you it might be clear it is much better than Jones, but from the distance the "us vs them" narrative and the obsession with whatever is the latest "scandal" (Clinton's emails, Weinstein, Trump & Russia)

I have exactly the same experience with Fedora. And frankly, it seems to me like the issue is the OS being unoptimized or apps being leaky on it, because my Windows 7 machine with worse specs almost never has such issues, under any kind o

It takes time to get used to. But it is sooo worth it - I don't need to ever move my hands off the keyboard. I still prefer standalone mouse (but I'm still gamer, so nothing can beat speed & accuracy of dedicated mouse for me)
