overwriting HTML styles is harder than setting how to format plaintext. HTML styling has order of magnitude more customization options than plaintext, which has three that I can think of: font, font size, tab width. Almost all clients have

There is info about it. "4. Why is plaintext better than HTML?"

It is not backed. I cannot exchange dollars into political US power or GDP of US.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Federal Reserve hasn't been really backing the dollar. The gold is there, sure, but it isn't connected in any way with the value of dollar. The Federal Reserve surely doesn't have enough goods

You can't eat a dollar too. Intrinsic value of a dollar is smaller than a piece of paper, as it's not even that good for taking notes. It's valuation is the same: based on artificial demand.

>>>Private messages (...) are prohibited in Ham Radio > Broadcasts are also prohibited in ham radio. Wait what? Isn't any message either broadcast or private?

Bitcoin transaction is basically a broadcast, which you can analyze freely. No decryption, just encoding and signing.

This is dumb. Many products have dumb names, we just got accustomed to them, i.e. git. If you are hating only on this specific meme - I present you SmolV - the leading(and only?) SpirV compressor. If you aren't going to use good things

ARM servers at scaleway actually start at 3euro/mo. I find that others have a bit more difficult setup the server. Finding the best auctions isn't the best way to spend your time in a startup. You are better of doing something tha

So you are saying that sending an e-mail is seriously cumbersome? Excuse me, but for me it is a lot more steps from local edit to a contribution using Github. For Github I (1) have to create a fork (2) set it as a remote in my local copy, o

Mailing lists. Many providers, easy setup. Pull requests are an artificial addition to git workflow, it was designed with email patches as the main way to send contributions. Bug tracking is fine with mailing lists too.
