   But wouldn't that mean we won't be in there? Until, and if, it gains traction? Edit: also, are we the problem?

   Wouldn't a countdown timer solve the need for those buttons?

   I personally dislike podcasts that are distributed through CDNs that "personalize" the file by injecting ads (they truly resemble radio ads, in the sense that they are irrelevant and way louder than the episode). On mobile, I use

   If that is the case, I would imagine it's like prosecuting a lobbyist for the bribe they're relaying.

   Just be careful that their marketing guys don't get wind of that, or they'll rebrand as "Marriott: the choice hotel for true hackers".

   Hooray! Great job NASA! Amid politics and war, it's refreshing to see news that can unite us all.

   If it were so simple and accessible why don't American citizens migrate to those countries to take advantage of the low cost of life?

   I bet they'd still have significant savings if they made everyone wait in 5-second lapses. Pausing and resuming elsewhere would mean changing to a different multicast stream or starting a new one if there weren't any before.

   Advertising makes me angry. I live in a city that has a characteristic mountain. So, naturally, advertisers are placing their towering billboards so that they constantly block the view when you're driving on the avenue that would have

    I like your observation on loss of intimacy. I don't know if this properly translates to English, but in the Mexican metal scene (I don't know if this would generalize to other Spanish speaking regions) I've heard the term &q

    Agreed. An analogous way to put how the printer companies are doing business would be if car manufactures setup gas stations and only allowed you to use their brand of gasoline.

    I've enjoyed using the Brave browser so far (less than a week). I'm excited to try out the BAT payments feature! For those out of the loop, like I was a week ago, it's a way to pay what you want per month, divided proportiona

    Both techniques are deceptively effective; I know the following might be only anecdotally relevant, but it's the most recent case of a successful phishing attack I know of: Recently a friend of mine didn't see the lower dot on the

    Do you think it's built on top of PeerTube Social or is it something completely different?

    Ah, ... I see they've cut back on the education and civility budgets to accommodate for more military spending.

    But doesn't that mean that it would be cheaper for an adversary to just wait until the excessive military spending makes the US implode, figuratively, in debt? This same concern worried former president Eisenhower back in his days[0].

    I've been using it for a couple of days, and I've gotta say I'm impressed at the high quality of the service, and the integration with Activity Feeds (e.g. Mastodon) elsewhere.

    Thanks, mirimir. I live in a country that's been having a lot of trouble recently with crimes against the freedom of the press and this may actually help me recover some peace of mind when writing anything that might upset powerful peo

    I'm no economist, but I've been mulling over some of the common problems the majority of citizens of modern countries are all facing. I think that most of them (low purchasing power, high cost of living, high house prices) seem to

    I'd like to make a complaint that Meatspace is inaccessible for n00bs and amputee character classes. Also, higher level characters seem to be stopping new players from leveling up.

    I would imagine any sort of product review classification system would be exploitable for abuse. Anecdotal evidence: when my mother and her team were running for student council (in college), the opposing team introduced blatantly fake vote

    Great work! I just happened to stumble into Mike Gerwitz's (2012) Horror Story [1] today about trust in git. This is great for safety. [1] https://mikegerwitz.com/papers/git-horror-story
