I'm being a trollish jackass?!? Fuck off. I posted a helpful tip - for you and for others - on how you can avoid the bullshit you were whinging about, and that you specifically claimed you couldn't block. You replied with condes

Interesting, I didn't know goalposts could move quite so fast or often. Not sure why you made up a scenario involving a hospital receptionist, or why you chose to echo my point that they deal with all kinds of crazy shit. I challenged

So in other words you could have easily blocked the spam emails you were complaining about after the first one arrived. Regular aliases are fine, but they're more difficult to set up. And don't work everywhere. I do host my own em

> are you bragging? trying to impress me? Yes and yes! That is, indeed, exactly what a person who is part of that culture would likely do. For example Tsutomu Shimomura is hilariously famous for it - the book he wrote about captu

I could name a bunch if I spent 30 seconds looking. I could probably name half a dozen others - including names most people would recognise, e.g julian assange - who I think (but am not 100% sure from memory) suffered similar restrictions w

Protip: always use plus aliases when signing up for things like this. Use a unique plus alias for everything you sign up for (the convention I use is e.g myemail+yourcompanyname@mydomain.com). This convention lets you be sure exactly who so

Yeah. And every time I see a new "cloud provider banned me and I lost everything" article (i.e: every few days), I always just want to ask the same question(s): "I'm sure it's very sad that you've lost all your

Agreed, mari0 is awesome. Pity it's not playable in even mildly current versions of love because being backwards compatible takes some slight effort on behalf of framework maintainers.

This is cool! Suggestion: I'd like to have an option to exclude fonts without ligatures from the game. And it seems there are others who don't like ligatures who would probably like to be able to exclude fonts with ligatures. You

I know right?! And apparently only certain letters become cursive in italic, so it's not even consistent about it?! This seems bizarre to me, I do not understand the rationale behind it. Can someone enlighten me?

And it's compatible with winamp skins, so you can download the winamp base skin ( https://skins.webamp.org/skin/5e4f10275dcb1fb211d4a8b4f1bda2... ) and have it look exactly like winamp.

No, we're not. Sorry, my bad. It would seem I didn't read your post properly, I think I must have just been tired or something. I took "who is forced to use it" as a statement (i.e "I'm a user who is forced to

I expect there's an audience selection bias at work: Fewer greybeards and more spiky haired teens reading HN. I think it's an awful idea. Apart from making things less secure it also makes sudo's UX inconsistent with most of
