>forced to censor him Really!? Who was holding the gun to their head. It was probably advisable to censor his tweets if Twitter didn't want their more easily angered users to turn against them, but they were by no means compelled t

With all the riots that have happened in 2020, it feels they struck while the world was weak in order to hold countries to ransom. Whether that was the goal or not isn't that important, but it has certainly had the effect of making co

I remember first seeing the Stanley FuBar what feels like 7 years ago. I wonder which came first, and whether they were invented independently of each other...

This all said, I feel this is a massive non-issue. The EU announced their plan to do this very early on, and while I thought it was a bad idea for similar "property" reasons as you've mentioned, webmasters have had what? 3.5

They also say you need root to software spoof your location, but I thought you could do this without root using Mock Locations in developer options. I'm not sure if that's just an oversight, but it makes me think they aren't

I think 50 is far too long. Patents for inventions that have the potential to revolutionise the way we live our lives only get 20 years of so-called protection. Creative publications that only provide emotional enrichment at best should b

The need to incrementally change UI/UX is both a blessing and a curse, not only from a usability perspective but an aesthetic one, too. Since I use it a fair bit, I'll use Android as an example: I generally learn a new UI pretty

They actually provide instructions to change the search widget - i.e. the bar at the top of the screen - along with changing the browser. And honestly, I agree with them. I'd very much like a way to integrate my chosen search engine

I think the point OP is making is that while the answer can be googled on whatever search engine you like, its up to the person making claims to back up those claims.

Not to detract from the amazing work done in this article, but I didn't even know there was a VR Myst game. I'll have to look into both.

On the second point, my experience comes from a Kobo Glo HD eReader, but the rendition of photographs is very good - cliché, but its like a printed page. Line art obviously works best because its bold and high contrast, but colour digital

I agree, but from an entirely different point of view. Tell me I'm doing my eyes in if you will, but I find dark mode to be easy on the eyes, especially when - but not exclusively because - I can't always control how poorly lit m

One point of note is that the prediction of "users in banned communities will just take their hate elsewhere" did strike true. Users either left reddit to take their views to other websites, or moved to either directly related or

I totally agree that file names shouldn't have spaces because they are variables, and I (usually) name all my files with camelBackNotation names as I was taught is best practice for variable names. That said, with every command I re

Just suggested it in another comment, but Fish might be similar to what you describe. It has tab-completable flags that it gets from the manpages, and remembers and suggests previously run commands which might be close to the auto-complete

Using Fish as my shell somewhat makes this morn tolerable as it checks the manpages and automatically suggests flags in a tab-complete fashion. It also remembers previously run commands and suggests them, which helps with not having to rem

Armed with what? Since about March or April we've had a not insignificant number of people armed with Molotov cocktails, what difference is there when they are armed with factory made weapons? Frankly, anyone that threatens or carrie

True, but in practice "upvote" tends to equate to "agree" and "downvote" to "disagree".

Maybe not, but going by all the "acab" graffiti on that elk, its not a hard jump for people to relate the two. It would be nice if certain organisations would have spoken out against the bad actors using their name to commit crim

Just to make the point: wasn't Washington the first president with a migrant background? You know, because of the whole non native colonists thing.

This is part of the reason that in some countries it is illegal report anything significant about an active investigation. You don't want to pollute the witness pool - even if what is reported is 100% categorically true, the fact that

The trouble is that by visibly taking action against a particular group, that group will feel the need to retaliate - this is the most sure fire way to radicalise a group I can think of. Filter bubbles and shadow bans already exist, and whi

This is a fair point, though. Just because you're the producer doesn't mean you're the owner. Book authors often go to publishing houses to get their book published, in which case the author has little control over their wo

I think they are implying that public domain works are attacked globally because a company thinks they own it in one country. Take Happy Birthday, for example: in the UK it is considered a traditional song and is therefore public domain, b
