I think if we just replace “privileged” with “lucky” it would greatly improve the overall tone of the message for many, myself included. I.e. “I was lucky enough to be born in a family of engineers” sounds much better than “privileged” in t

In these cases you use your mouse or whatever, obviously. What’s your point? I have been using a similar plugin for years and on a very rare occasion I’m using my touchpad to do something as you described.

I’m using a different plugin (I think it’s vimkeys) which is also great. I wanted to give the pentadactyl a try, but it looks like it’s discontinued- the latest release was in 2014. Am I looking in a wrong place? http://bug.5digi

It will never be easy. People should understand that and take the hard part as a fun part or as a price to pay for their digital independence.

One of the ISPs in my home town runs a nntp server and it is very popular among locals, not even tech-savvy ones. It’s been around for at least 16 years and last time I checked it was still very active. I think the point is - nntp is still

That’s because child abuse images are objective while “neonazis” are not. Regarding the “different private company”. Some of your people are already trying to deplatform Telegram now, because those “neonazis” went there after they were bann

For me it was very easy to stop watching youtube when they started to show more and more commercials - I just couldn’t stand it, it was too frustrating. Occasionally I find something useful, download it using youtube-dl and (re)watch offlin

That wasn’t me, I did not suggest that. Though your choice of wording is horrendous and your understanding of the term “privilege” is ridiculously wrong and borderline humiliating. It is not a privilege if you earned it by hard work. I spen

I mean - isn’t that obvious? Call it whatever you want - deplatforming instead of censorship- the result is the same - disbalance of opinions.

Please describe what you mean by “privilege”. Privileged enough to have a second phone? What does that even mean? Am I also privileged to have a second laptop and a PS4? Should I feel ashamed because of this and why, exactly?

Thing is the OPs site does not solve any problem, so it’s not a good alternative. Also even shaming people is tempting, I don’t think it’s a good solution either. The okayish solution is to blame companies and there’s already a lot of resou

This point is incorrect. If they’re releasing the game for current gen, it should be playable on it.

Isn’t that just their opinion? I know many developers using Emacs because it’s insanely powerful and lightning fast, unlike modern IDEs.

A great thing about the comments like these is that it’s impossible to say if it was a joke or an honest opinion.

Oh, didn’t know that, thanks. But still, it’s turned off by default. Is there a way to improve readability for the downvoted comments?

by allarm 6y ago
Sure, they even support it right here on hn - the downvoted comments are very difficult to read and you can’t read the flagged comments - thanks guys for your gentle care for my mental health.

SNMP is a monitoring protocol and WoL is a great way to automatically control your screens. You can’t use WoL outside of the local network and SNMP is configurable and secure (if it’s at least v2). It’s not something you should be worried a

I can’t say for the other features - I’ve never used Calibre - but if spaces were lost during the pdf conversion that means that the text layer did not have the spaces. Not much you can do in this case, really.
