I don't think it is undermining to discuss an issue with more senior members if it is an issue that isn't being resolved.

The thing that gets me is the way he propagates the idea that one person is responsible for his successes. There are many brilliant people and teams that work for his companies, but he doesn't promote them like they clearly deserve, i

Yes, I'm also convinced that dating apps aren't a good way to match-make. I've had some experience of them, and there are clear problems for both men and women on it. Men struggle to get matches, women struggle to get good

Interesting historical trivia! BTW is that website using the ubuntu font?

I think this was partly driven by Firefox, but Ubuntumate is certainly shipping with flatpak and another package manager (maybe appimage, I lose track).

Still using Ubuntu here, it's become the boring choice I guess (especially as I'm using ubuntu-mate) - but I need it that way to get my work done. A lot of the froth around linux is enthusiasts distro-hopping and whatever is fash

Because it takes a particular kind of person to become that rich and wealthy. When the whole Epstein scandle unraveled, it was eye-opening to me that all these people intent on being wealthy, powerful and influential, were also morally dub

Egotistical is quite different to confident. Narcissistic and egotistical people often have a fragile self-image. Prone to destructive rage[1] with the slightest insult. [1] like calling someone a paedophile without any evidence.

People keep bringing up your point 5 here. Almost every other comment seems to parrot this idea that there is some paragon of free speech that Twitter doesn't achieve. Setting all the discussion of what free speech should be, aside,

I would upvote this as insightful if we were still on Slashdot. These one-man pioneers like to further the impression that they are the sole reasons for their success, but the reality is that we all build on the shoulders if giants. I am

What you're describing is really just maintaining your own bubble in social media. This is something that most people think is a bad thing, on both sides of the spectrum. You're not talking about speech which is generally felt t

This thread is hilarious. In the cesspit of a social media website, people accuse Twitter of being a social media cesspit. I've seen people arguing for absolute freedom of speech, except in malicious circumstances, but seem to think th
