We all know that person that takes his counter-culture shtick too seriously. Hell, maybe many of us were that person at some point. I know I did although I never reached RMS-level. The difference is that regarding RMS this is consequence of

First of all, if you really are an anarchist you need to think a little bit more about the implications of an anarchist society (or whatever) and grow up a little bit. I sometimes feel sad for Linux as a platform, the whole computing landsc

Just looking around reddit you easily pass the 50 tabs threshold. Bookmarks are far from ideal (at least in firefox) and technically you don't need them today since the history works well in case you need to find something (just typing rela

Every time I open eclipse I feel like crying. Is just that awful (usability-wise). On my search to replace Eclipse for my android development I think I came across IntelliJ and it was very resources-heavy compared to eclipse which in the en

Ugh, he commented now on the story because bitcoins are the craze now - or were. He doesn't hate bitcoins: he's just used it to make many of his arguments clearer. This is his style, it's not personal. The only people that could leverage th
