I don't think you read your ancestor post carefully enough. I at least don't see any room for ambiguity. The rule is that your (note the emphasis) device won't ever willingly betray you. There's nothing here that impli

Indeed, I'm guessing this must be some cultural shift that was successfully implanted in some cultures because I too find the idea completely bonkers.

You can absolutely blame a company for this, because some things are legal but you're still an ass if you do them.

Sounds like you didn't set up certificate renewal automation for LetsEncrypt via something like certbot? I can imagine that could be a hassle. I'm curious by what you mean by frequent need to re-login in the context of Matrix? I&#

This is an UX problem. There's supposed to be a list of threads so that you can find the one you're looking for easily. A thread is essentially a lite channel which shares all of the members of the original channel automatically.

Completely agreed. Where is this "right not to be cheated in an online game" coming from anyway? Sounds absurd when you put it in proper terms, that is someone else taking control over your computer.

I'm not familiar enough with Teamspeak to comment, but there's nothing inherently Electron-specific about this. Other clients need to grow support for Spaces, of course.

It's more than just grouping. Spaces are rooms under the hood, just like rooms in which you usually chat in Matrix. What makes spaces what they are is the ability to specify some rooms as belonging to a space, in the sense of a collect

Your comment is kind of boring in its dismissiveness, but you acknowledged you're getting cranky so I'll take that as the explanation. In any case, there are those that care (I'm one of them) and we would appreciate if you co

They are unsustainable at current efficiency levels. If things got more efficient, they wouldn't necessarily be unsustainable.

by feanaro 5y ago
Improving efficiency means we can at least potentially retain current levels of consumption. Not that this is a particularly good idea but it shows why it is relevant.

Somehow building a list of pointers to original content does simply not have the same ring to me as a product that rehashes all of the content. A rehashing of content sounds to me much more like, for example, publishing a sequel to my favou
