This is the unfortunate necessity of customer support. You may actually read help articles and try to work through possible solutions before finally sending a well thought-out, reasoned request for assistance, but tickets like yours are &lt

EPIC management's (at every level) embrace of M and all things old as holy and glorious was what turned me off of it most. I could somewhat understand the need to keep working with cold in an old, bad language because it was still prin

Requests from non-user accounts do still get responses, just not quickly. You may have more luck with Twitter.

Chrome's UI remains an anathema to me--its strict requirements regarding how one is supposed to organize tabs and so forth are bogwash, and I'll be sticking with Firefox, which allows me to do whatever the fuck I want re UI compon

Telegram really doesn't seem like they're trying to be a secure chat client at all at this point. It seems like the focus is more on making a follow-up runet social network now that Durov no longer has control over VK. It echoes V

Maybe more tags than lists--the current UI for adding lists/adding users to lists is clunky as hell. I would be able to make more use of it if I could just open an account and add personal tags to it without having to go through the cu

Minor note, but it's awesome that students outside network analysis courses are learning to use Gephi! It's such a cool and easy-to-use tool. I regretted not doing as much network theory in my CS education--I only really got into

Backdoors aside, I'm wary of what the proposed Manhattan project would be without specifics. Without details it sounds like a continuation or expansion of the current NSA bulk surveillance programs, which while not explicit encryption
