Just because the name of a party changed doesn't mean it doesn't exist any more.

What would you have them do? Vote for the party that treated them as third-class citizens for decades?

Bad actors who are trying to push some agenda to make money for example, are more likely to pay than ordinary lurkers who click the "retweet" button once in a while. Twitter is not that important, if it becomes pay-to-play, I&#x27

No. Write a microkernel in Rust and convince the rest of us to use it.

> The latest GNOME versions are even buggier, and when it does work, it feels like a toy project compared to KDE. This is an interesting viewpoint. My ideal DE is one that is "invisible", so to speak, and I've found that G

I keep hoping they'd disable this and shut the API to rif is fun, then I'd be able to quit Reddit permanently. I kid, I kid. But not really.

A large oil/gas/coal burning plant is more efficient than thousands of engines burning petrol/diesel, so just converting a large proportion of the fleet with BEVs nudges us a little bit in the right direction. Further, as the

This seems extreme. Do you support fair use limits, or is blocking a DOS attack also a violation of these rules?

Not the GP, but I think they mean keeping an organization alive in the exact state it exists now vs. enabling it to change to adapt to a changing world portend opposite chances that an organization will remain around in the long term.

Every answer here is "buy this other thing, no wait, that may not work for your use case, buy this other thing to lug around or that makes your laptop effectively a desktop". This is strictly worse than the previous status quo.

Isn't this called a helicopter? Aside from the noise, etc. issues with them, what would be the difference between a flying car and a helicopter? The need for a pilot's license to fly one?

Has anyone found a reliable way to block the ads on Android TV that isn't "root your TV and install and use this weird App you get from this website here"? Would a Pi-Hole work long-term?

Traffic control devices that "alert" drivers and rely on their choice to slow down are pointless IMO. Better to make it almost impossible to drive at an unsafe speed without ruining your car, removing the choice.

The grid doesn't have to be 100% green for it to be better than everyone burning gas in their cars. An electric car becomes greener as the grid becomes greener, a gas car is just as dirty today as it was last year.

I blacklisted LG from my life after my Nexus 5X bricked itself a couple of weeks after I bought it. I usually recommend Sony for TVs, have had a couple over the last 10 years. Good displays, running standard Android, and doesn't (seem

This doesn't mean that we should construct infrastructure that actively discourages cycling. The argument isn't "let's force everyone to cycle". It's "let's make cycling so safe and convenient that th

Is there an example of a thriving online community that has absolutely no censorship? One gets the sense that once a platform commits publicly to never censor, it's overrun by people with extreme opinions, and the platform loses more r

Because all Linux distros are just an amalgamation of thousands of programs and libraries, each with their own aims and pulling in different directions? That Linux distributions work as well as they do is a miracle in itself, I think. Compa

A corporation can change the world around you to your massive detriment without your input. Poison your river, pollute your air, etc. They don't have to tell you to do anything to harm you without recourse.

Do you mean upgrades between major versions of your distribution? Updating packages has (practically) never broken things for me, and I use Debian Testing. Before I started using a rolling release distribution, I found it easier to keep the

I don't see any functional difference between an unpaid-for feature that is disabled by lack of hardware or software. I can see an argument that hardware for stuff I haven't paid for adds weight and hurts my mileage. Or maybe the
