   I was pretty disappointed when I learned one of my contacts on Matrix was receiving my messages on his Gmail. That's a feature I would rather the client to not even have so people don't accidentally enable it. I hope it won't

   Same here. I only log in through Tor and I'd never have imagined HN uses ReCAPTCHA if it wasn't for people suggesting that.

   It may not be an issue of Free Speech (however you define it), but it's still an issue of freedom to speak. (My point is that you're trying to dismiss an issue by claiming to not fit an arbitrary category, but you haven't arg

   I actually agree with you and I wouldn't mourn the loss of political cartoons, but the fact that a Twitter mob can do that to a major news outlet is troublesome and scary.

   I think part of the problem is that it's just as likely to cause a raise (from the increased exposure) as it is to cause a drop, which creates an incentive to do things that will incite outrage.

   Never tried VR, but my initial reaction went like this: how is viewing Earth from space different than just looking at a video? -> the viewport is larger -> just use VR.

    >Twitch streamers famously lose so many subscribers to even a day away from their stream Are you saying people will unsubscribe from Twitch channels because it didn't post a video for a day? That sounds crazy. Why does it happen?

    Personally I want them to invest in reversing aging. We can worry about saving the planet/exploring space once I can live forever.

    I worry that the online coverage of things like flat earthers might feed the phenomenon. I used to think flat earthers was just some internet nonsense and that you'd be hard-pressed to find someone offline who believed that, but then I

    Blink and WebKit are basically the same though. I'm not sure if they should be counted separately. How much WebKit existing helps prevent Google from taking control of the web?

    Firefox keeps session backups in the profile folder. You might be able to recover your open tabs with it. I've been in a similar situation with tab groups and managed to recover all of them, though I don't remember exactly how.

    Why not call it the obvious thing: GuixOS? The scheme you have now is confusing for no reason. I saw this news on Phoronix and even after reading the article I couldn't tell if it was the pkg manager or the distro that had reached 1.0

    Why is that? Did it turn out to be a bad game? As a fan of Magic: The Gathering I was quite interested in it and the concept looked interesting too.
