First time I installed Linux, I was trying to Gaim on it. I managed to compile Gaim before I managed to install it from RPM packages. Using Debian was a moment of pure epiphany. Good times.

I don't really have a good answer for that. I'm happy with what have at Heroku. My pain points on it would be: 1. The annoying 30 second timeout they have (Which is not there in other platforms) 2. Steep pricing (Which I'm no

We are not. As a matter of fact we just renewed our annual contract with Heroku. As disappointing as it is that Heroku is basically stalling, the fact is that it was light-years ahead of competition in terms of developer ergonomics. Even to

The reason is that KDE is mostly developed by volunteers. Many of whom had branches that have been developed and ready for several years but not released. They were losing interest. KDE had to move the train to keep those volunteers around.

This is not true. These protests are unique because: 1. For the first time, people are also willing to be violent against the regime. 2. This is more geographically distributed than previous ones. 3. It's distributed among all classes

Iran is a semi dictatorship. People have _some_ agency but not much. The _election_ in which you can choose between 2 people who have already been filtered out by the regime is not really a democratic election. As someone voted for Rouhani
