392 days between impeachments. Impressive.

I agree places like /r/politics and /r/conservative are vitriolic towards each other but I haven't seen open death threats that are not removed swiftly and the user banned. I don't agree that /r/polit

You are not wrong. The difference, in my opinion, is that reddit, etc are quite active in removing such "communities" once they are aware of them and they become a problem. Parler does not. In fact, to me, it seems they take delig

I take some basic precautions such as not using any real information about myself and never using Parler on an identifiable device such as a phone. I also only ever accessed Parler, etc from a generic Windows VM and making use of Tor or a V

Understandable. If you do not engage in their conversations how are they to know you are there.

This needs to happen. Parler is not a "social network" in the same way Twitter, Facebook or Reddit are. It is a radicalisation platform hiding behind a Silicon Valley style startup veneer. I signed up for Parler 6 weeks ago and wh

It makes so much sense when you think of Parler as a propaganda network and recruitment tool and not a "free speech" social network which is exactly how I described my experience with it in the mega thread yesterday https:/&

The first time I used MySQL the person showing me referred to it as "my squall" so that is always what I think when I see it read. I generally pronounce it 'my ess-que-ell' myself though.

Yup put me down for "fusck" as well. I am probably inventing memories here but I think it is because whenever I saw a system announce it needed to fsck I would say "oh fuck" in my head (sometimes out loud).

Neither had I, until yesterday. Weird timing for this post to pop up. I have always called it either 'slash eee-tee-cee' or 'slash etcetera' however yesterday I was watching a video of Andreas working on SerenityOS and h

I have been using Signal for two years now and I love it. However I really, really hope they can work on a good backup and restore process as losing my message history because I have to reinstall the app on my desktop[1] or have to reset

I have had this monitor for ~18 months now and it is indeed a great monitor. My only complaint is that 4K is "too low" at 27 inches when you scale at 2x (the default so it "looks like" 1080p). If they release a 5K model

I got my start at Xerox working in their photocopier "QA" department. I say "QA" because it was more a factory setup than quality assurance office. Anyway we had test cases in folders with instructions on the front to co

I love Ben's videos however perhaps if he followed the marketing strategy of Mark Rober or Ali Abdaal he would have more than 700k subscribers. Not that 700k is bad at all, it is just an observation at how many subscribers some of thes

It's pretty common for YouTubers who have a big past employer or specialist career. Ali Abdaal is one I have seen pop up a lot this year. Every video of his mentions he studied at Cambridge and is a Doctor. Clearly it works quite well

That is true for adults as well. When I did a first aid course the instructor said something like 30-40% of people who receive CPR will have fractured ribs as you need to put a lot of pressure on the chest to do it properly. "If you

The traffic in and around Lyon is fucking terrible . They really need to do something to reduce how many cars are on the road. The thing is overall the metro is decent as is the bus service and they are always full yet there are still so

I am still on macOS but I totally agree with your post. macOS and iOS are seriously locked down and it can be very frustrating. Like you I used Magnet but wanting to get something more tiling window manager-like I switched to Amethyst[1] wh

I live in Lyon, France and we often have high air pollution warnings and you really can feel it in the air. During lockdown, back in April and May, there was a noticeable difference in the air quality. It felt different. When we went out

I would highly recommend you not quit but perhaps see if there are any more flexible working arrangements you can come to with your current employer. Perhaps you can go part time or take 3 or 6 month (unpaid) leave? I wish you all the bes

That is a good experience that unfortunately I didn't have with my daughters Beats that lasted ~3 years before the battery was down to around two hours. Granted this was before Apple purchased them so perhaps things have improved since

The price is high at $549 however given Apple's proven audio engineering I will give them the benefit of the doubt on sound quality on par with similarly priced headphones from Sennheiser, etc. I mean have you heard the speaker quality

Yes it not being open source was the reason I never looked at Threema further as Signal did everything I wanted/needed while being open. The only feature I wish Signal had is group video/voice calls but hopefully that will be avai

Well that's the rub. Anyone could have looked up Telegram on their favourite search engine and found all the information in this article anytime in the past year or two. It is nothing new. But Telegram has pretty good word-of-mouth PR

I don't see anything that hasn't been know for a while. Telegram is convenient but not secure or safe. At least not by default. Is it actually possible to make it as secure as something like Signal? Use Signal if you care about se

Sadly this is the same experience a friend of mine had with a System76 laptop. When I used it I thought it was fine but not great. The keyboard was usable but didn't feel especially great. Not up there with the likes of a ThinkPad, H

Just to clear things up you mean 3.64 lbs (1.65kg). I saw 1.6 lbs and was like "woah that's well under 1kg for a 15" laptop!" I think 3.64 lbs (1.65kg) is perfectly acceptable for a 15" laptop, not the lightest but

The thing is I am without a doubt a person of average intelligence and what I don't "get" is how people whom I know are more intelligent that me doing the most stupid things. I try to listen to as many different perspective
