I'd like to object. True, the mainstream channels ARD and ZDF show a little bit too many quiz shows and music shows - and the main local radio stations are very lean on interesting content. But there is a bunch of public TV channels an

I'd argue that both WireShark and Subsurface have much simpler UI (and use mostly standard widgets) than Inkscape.

Funny, we are currently building exactly this (incl. CUPS driver) for a research project, using an ESP8266 and a Pervasive Displays 10.1" panel.

As wila pointed out in this thread, Freenom has been connected to cybersquatting [1]. Operating a widely used DNS server might allow them to register commonly mistyped domains (?). Not sure whether this is indeed sensible. [1] http:/

I like the Code of Ethics. I have trouble with ACM's handling of ethical issues. With my comment I more or less wanted to point out the difference between both but should have elaborated on this.

by raphman 10y ago
Indeed. I should have clarified this in my comment instead of just ranting. The ACM Code of Ethics is important. It was one of the reasons I joined ACM. However, (IMHO) ACM [1] has not necessarily practiced what it preaches in the past. G

Sure - it is not a good situation. To me it would have sounded perfectly reasonable to edit WSL files with a Windows editor. There could at least be some kind of __README_FIRST_BEFORE_DOING_ANYTHING_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY.TXT. I just wanted to m

The metaphor is wrong. As a normal user you would never come into contact with these files. The "gaping hole" is actually in a fenced-off area with keep-out signs where nobody would wander in by accident.
