Do you realise that non-profit means that you just don't have leftover cash at the end of the year in your balance sheet? Non-profits pay their employees and their suppliers, their financial situation has absolutely nothing to do wit

I just don't know why we stopped doing this; the barrier of entry to HTML is just extremely low for basic markup. I still keep my personal blog written in plain HTML with a wee bit of CSS to give it personality. It just works so well!

Practically, it's very difficult. LineageOS people are trying to work on that, but it's just a very big hassle with the variety of OEM components running amok the industry.

The format is exactly for the purpose of getting clients to behave predictably! Without defining these schemas to allow for flexible mixed media documents, you're always going to have chaotic implementations floating around.

OP is asking what the content type of the body is to be interpreted as. You're assuming HTML string, which might not always be correct. What do you do with Markdown? You need to have a standard way to represent things like this, becaus

With any sentence that contains a "can't think of people who X" structure, you should realise that people you know and talk to are people who think like you. Exceptions don't break the rule, as always – if you do make a

Beyond ethics, I'm worried more about societal collapse. Going further we might have entirely generated ultra-realistic and ultra-specific pornography that will ultimately lead to people just not having sex... This concern has already

If someone is perfectly happy, then they cannot be happier with someone else. At the hyperbole, your argument doesn't hold either.

Err... I don't see either of these are relevant to the Chrome situation, given that the competitors are (and have been) also free. These aren't applicable for markets of free goods and services.

Pettiness aside, I guess this is the same kind of response you'd give to someone who complains about OSS lacking a certain feature: Write a patch and make a PR—to the European English language repository.

I don't mean to defend surveillance as a gateway to safety by any means, in fact I believe in the exact opposite. Unfortunately, it's going to be integrated into our society whether we like it or not, and after that point it'

I agree to most, but because solutions like facial recognition are simply easier to engage than educational reforms or welfare-based safety [sic] nets, this is not necessarily something we get to choose. States will prefer the former to t

I do, but at the same time I think that lower-hanging, yet not so easy-to-pick, fruits are ignored already. In that case, it becomes more feasible to target far out approaches that are simply easier to implement. Unfortunately, those also h
