   People who join the US army should be forced to watch videos of Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo torture, they should be forced to watch testimonies of people in drone-bombed municipalities. But I am afraid that for many the "we good, they ba

    Why oh why are those not comments within the source file? It would help me so much to have comments like those in software... Generally I think that a linear step-by-step description is often not the best way though, often you would have to

    I meant to go all "just use coreutils, there is shuf available already, no need for some third-party tool" but then I realised that jot is an integral part of BSD. Rock on! :) For us Linuxers: shuf -i 1-1000000 -n 10

    I share your pain, the state of actual implementations is sad . I don't know any (combination) of clients that do it all. Jitsi is pretty good but ugly and desktop only. Gajim is really good. Conversations is great for text on Andro

    I run a free website and every year I do a one week fund raising for the costs. I don't have customers but a more or less dedicated community (some people are around for years, others come and go). The community always exceeds the amou
