If a (mis)feature gets disabled by many users, it gets removed from the app. With time, apps accumulate features and get bloated. This actually is a mechanism to allow cleaning up features users so not want.

These days, any popular messaging app that won't cooperate with local law (by choice or by design in case of e2e) would just be banned/ removed from stores in Germany or most other countries. Strong encryption for wide audience c

n-hour workdays must include commute time, encouraging for remote work where possible. Even 3 hour days should be enough - to interact with your peers. Other than that, performance is a measure of work planned vs work done. Time to sit on y

Do we even need a tool like that? I mean, just use the language you know to do something with the json you have. Alternatively: the tool should use sql.

I think it should be customizable: let users pass the number of bits for time, and the number of bits for randomness. Maybe also add fixed bits for partitioning. 128 bits is often an overkill when dealing with single-digit rps.

I can see grub2, syslinux, and anaconda are affected in the proposal. (Syslinux removed, others simplified). But then, these are common linux components, not specific to fedora. They are old and battle tested by now, do they really require

Snaps did it. Some packages are only (easily) available from snap store - LXC, Firefox, chromium. With closed-source backend that cannot be changed and forced autoupdates, ubuntu no longer feels like proper linux. Fedora 36 comes out of bet

Dependency Injection does not require a DI Container. You know, like have an app_init.py and instantiate all services/dependencies manually; providing them as constructor args to other instances as needed. Use other implementations&#x2

As if the wedding party incident was a single, isolated case. True, the scale of destruction in Iraq, Afganistan and dozen other countries is nothing like Ukraine military shelled and shot their own civilians then staged a photo-op.

A post about Chinese torture camps makes an impression that torture camps are exclusively a Chinese thing. It would be fair to mention other countries involved in similar behavior. The post could have been "torture camps are bad"

No one have ever said that human rights abuses of any kind are okay. Still, since "the west" uses tools such as illegal detention camps, blacksite prisons, etc to its advantage -- NOT using the same tools by everyone else would pu

"Whataboutism" is not a valid refutation in most contexts. It's more of a chant, a mantra, a trigger word you are conditioned to bring up when some kind of obvious hypocrisy or double standard is being pointed out that you c

Can we identify nodejs projects, which - a) are trivial to implement and, b) are most depended upon? I'd love to contribute to a coordinated community effort to minimize the number of npm dependencies.

Why don't you call pro-Ukrainian media "propaganda"? They did recently ban all but a few pro-gov political parties, and all their media is equally under total government control

However "unreliable" these news sources are, they present a different opinion that is being censored. And since there are just two sides in this war, you can only see just one side of a story.

Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are blocked in Russia because they only allow pro-Ukraine narrative. The social platforms became weapons in this war. Anyone noticed they blocked accounts of most Russian media companies and news sources

To prevent spam, github should not allow bots to interact with repos by default. It's up to repo owner to opt-in PRs, issues, comments, etc made by bots. Maaybe also add whitelists.

No, I don't remember a time when users were in control and actually owned Apple-made hard- and software. However, linux is alive and well, despite some flavours attempting to force autoupdating snap stores and the like onto users.

Developers should not reinvent email validation every time. A simple and well-known library implemented for most popular languages would help. I say check that one "@" is found in a string, and it's not the first or last char
