That's true. And unfortunately the act itself usually gets tied to other issues every time it's discussed. Human trafficking for example. I wish people were more willing to separate the act of "consenting adults doing a finan

I'm not sure I agree with point 4. Does the articles you link go into how that connection is made? Why are internet (such as youtube) ads not enough?

I've given up on a whole unifying program or application. I've also been burned by either closed source apps or web apps. Very hard to get your data if support stops or you just don't have it. I try to stay as close to plain

That's what it sounds like to me too. Like the objects are brought out for the ceremony of "paying rent", but ownership of the items doesn't really change hands.

Censorship is their right. They are under no obligation to hold views that align with SJWs. Free expression cannot be had on Facebook. If you want that, Facebook is not the forum. That people feeled entitled to free expression on a closed e

Ah, the twenties. How's the saying go? "In your twenties you worry what people think of you, in your thirties you stop caring, in your forties you realize no one spends any time thinking about you anyway."

Is this really that crazy to believe both statements are true? Facilities, as one example, don't pop up out of thin air for free.

I'm exited to see this progressing. I'm grateful for anyone who serves on the committee, as it could be a thankless job (some people may not like the agreed upon tool/process, but hopefully a small group that doesn't fee

So much for reproducible builds. What if the internet connection flakes on your build server. Or if the source to the library is deleted from wherever you're pulling it from. Why the reluctance to add ALL SOURCE REQUIRED TO BUILD YOUR

problem is the Ubuntu one was trash, when you plugin to display it's still just Ubuntu Touch. Cant run normal X apps, cant apt install anything. Huge disappointment. Waiting for something useful. But it looks like Windows continuem is

This is essentially what great "Pick up artists" do. They meet a lot of women, realizing massive amounts of rejection eventually leads to moments of success. Basically, hit on as many women as possible, with the intention of datin

Yes, the stars are missing, but not where you think. The --files option has a star on the inside of each quote. This makes the search only show history for the host you are on (I sync my Dotfiles between machines). sift searches a path&#x2F

I agree with the premise. People aren't going to pay 5-10/monthly for each channel/studio/etc. So the "BIG" networks are in for some hurt. Maybe customers will "rotate" and buy 6 months of CBS, binge,

I do something very similar, but without the prompt settings. I have settings in .bashrc[0] to have the history file based on date. I then use fzf[1] (fzf-tmux is great) and a grep-like tool(sift[2]) to use for ctrl-r that fuzzy-searches hi

No, it's about having enough to live in the USA. Not about having enough to live where you want at your special snowflake standard of living. Yes, you may only get enough to live awesome in "the middle of nowhere" or whatever

Say what? It adds yet another vector upon which you can lose control of your data. But that's not the original point anyway. Keep in mind, the original parent was discussing privacy of data, not security. It's very aparent that a
