That sort of makes sense. I am not sure of it's prevalence, but at least for Indians, it's pretty common to code switch while writing (even more so while speaking).

I am not sure what causes it. Maybe it's the anxiety? I've dealt with it most of my life. Even basic things like going outside, talking to a clerk at a store, talking on a phone would make me a nervous wreck, where I could barely

Perhaps it was muscle memory? I could see that happening to me if I had recently installed the browser and it won't auto-complete the searches based on past history. Also the fact that my IQ drops by 50 points when someone is watching

I had the X10 Mini Pro. The slide out keyboard was absolutely amazing for emulation + doing sysadmin tasks. The only alternative these days is the F(x)tec Pro [1], but it's quite expensive :( [1]: https://store.fxtec.com&#x2

The Compact models are newer, the Mini line was popular when they were called Sony-Ericsson. Though I agree with the naming scheme issues, my first smartphone was a Xperia X10 Mini Pro[1], which was quite a mouthful. [1]: https:/&#x2F

+1 for Zim+Syncthing, been using it for almost 2 years now. The only gripe I might have is against the near useless search and proper support for code blocks.

I'd argue that the time period plays a more important role there than the gender, considering the kind of mobs I've seen on Tumblr and communities for TV shows (Steven Universe/Adventure Time/Gravity Falls comes to mind)

This mirrors my experience. I had been using Ubuntu MATE for a few years without any issues, 30-40 days of uptime with no hiccups. Switched to Fedora to just try it out and it's really iffy. GNOME shell hogs memory and CPU for god know

When it comes to phones, the excuse is "security" of the phone, locking down the device as much as possible. And it's sad how that sentiment is echoed even on forums like HN. Apple as already a closed walled garden, Android i

I've observed the same thing honestly, most default + biggest subs are pretty left leaning. Though reddit does tend to host some right wing subs for which you have you go out of your way to find. There's also some old hate subs th

Agreed, but at least reddit is unique in that it seems to get accused of being accused of both kinds of extremism, Tumble/Twitter/HN seem to think it's a right wing shithole, while the 4chan/Imageboard ilk thinks it&#x27

This is pretty common in India. All the Internet fiber is just spread from roof to roof, none of it is underground. It looks ugly but it is very convenient. Even the rates are pretty reasonable compared to some first world countries, I pay

The problem with the first suggestion is the fact that the moderator in the above screenshot mods 1000+ subreddits. You can be pretty sure they mod the other subreddits too with the same mindset, how many of them do you recreate? This is th

I think most people take issue with the fact that reddit, one of the most trafficked websites in the world, has some of their biggest subs controlled by a few people. You can easily use this power to shape/influence public opinion of a
