Yeah I've known this for a while, I suffer from anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder and am well aware that my compulsions are total placebo and have no connection to my obsessions but still find they calm the anxiety almost compl

This comment doesn't hold up when you consider the person in charge of running the US government in 2020 was adamantly against any kind of COVID-19 prevention measures.

I wonder if this will have any domino effect, right now the only thing holding Twitter together is its network effects. According to the article on NPR's site[0], they have 8.7 million followers and run 52 different accounts so Twitter

People sometimes conflate being a single-party state with being a dictatorship/totalitarianism. Japan is considered a model democracy and has been run by the same party for over 70 years! It's just another way of doing democracy,

Something to take into consideration is "the cringe factor". E3 is infamous(?) for live presentations that go very poorly with the audience. Honestly for some people it was the show's main draw, to see moments like "gian

The truth is that desktop Linux is a novelty feature of the OS and mostly exists so core Linux devs can dogfood their own changes. Linux is still developed first and foremost as a server/cloud hosting OS. The main players in the Linux

I'm one of those freaks who actually liked Unity, especially towards the end it felt like such a snappy and efficient desktop interface. The switch to GNOME killed what differentiated Ubuntu on the desktop for me.

Debian sid is still slow as molasses on updates, probably slower than mainline Fedora releases. Best bet for a 'user friendly' distro with the latest pkgs is Fedora or Tumbleweed.

The open API access is a very large differentiator for Twitter and Reddit because of the presence of novelty accounts/bots, automatic moderation tools etc. Twitter can follow along with Facebook wrt APIs, but then there's less of

Right, I feel like the environment of the site has done a lot more damage to it than the unreliability/bugginess/downtime.

Something I've been wondering is how many people have left Twitter because of the service's recent instability issues. Because none of the people I know have stopped using the site, despite most being fiercely anti-Musk. It could

I remember seeing articles with this same title 4 years ago. "Digital detoxes" are definitely a thing, but probably aren't indicative of any sort of long term trend. Kids will buy a dumbphone, use it for a few weeks and then

I actually like Plasma a lot as well out of the Linux desktop environments, it feels like the only one that actually cares about design and UX. It's a shame that GNOME is the 'default' Linux DE and often the only one with rea

I run Windows 11 on my personal laptop. Best part is it's a Framework Laptop, it's 100% compatible with Linux and has official support for Ubuntu and Fedora, and yet I choose to run Windows 11 on it. I prefer the Windows UI to the

Is there anybody who's actually been convinced to switch to the 100% pure and ethical GNU/RMS lifestyle by these articles or is it just preaching to the choir?

Image hosting is a brutal, mostly thankless job that loses tons of money. I remember when Photobucket was the thing, then Imageshack, then tinypic, then imgur. Each one was meant to be simple photo hosting done right, but all eventually bec
