I've read Chomsky. I get the argument, but I reject it. It fails to address that I actually agree with a lot of things the Obama Administration has made progress on, especially regarding domestic policy. Health care, gay rights are som

Snowden clearly indicated that he did not want this controversy to become about him, and he indicated that he only came out to vindicate the Guardian story from being discredited. Nobody knows his current financial situation. I think we can

Really, terrorism? How has he inflict any physical damage on anyone? Agree or disagree with his actions, it's clearly not terrorism. I look down in disgust on anybody that frames his actions in that light.

Ha, no. Save possibly Rand Paul, I still think the Republicans are way worse.

Well, I don't think I've ever felt so paranoid. Thanks President Obama, this is the exact opposite thing we wanted you to do when we voted for you.

I try to give to software non-profits every paycheck. Even if it's only $5 or $10, it's better to give than to think, "Oh, they are great and I want to give them a big donation but I don't have the money right now, so I&

Well, I'm going to try "only going to use services that allow client side encryption", at least.

So what do we do? What does Stallman do? Do I run my own postfix box in my closet? I'm suppose I'm technically literate enough to pull it off, but what about friends and family?

Kinda, but not really.

They're in the entertainment-as-news business, not news. I'm surprised this hasn't become apparent to everybody yet. I haven't bothered to check them for for news in years now. It like expecting the Food Channel to cover hurricanes.

Bullshit! Republicans like to forget, but the Bush Administration can't be so easily hidden. It was the Bush Administration that started the TSA, indefinite detentions at Guantanamo, the indefinite AUMF, the Yoo Torture Memos, the drone pro

I'm glad somebody brought up Red Hat. I can't believe Canonical is mentioned in a similar context as Mozilla and Red Hat is forgotten. If we were talking about Google or Amazon, however...

I'm a big fan of GNOME 3 too, and it can be a highly productive environment. I've tried KDE, Xfce, i3, Awesome and Xmonad; I give each a proper go, getting over the initial learning curves and adjustment periods, but in the end, I find myse

Your logical fallacy is: https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/black-or-white You're completely ignoring the context and scale. She put some household chemicals in a soda bottle that caused a minor explosion. You're attempting to compare that

How is the former different from the latter? Is that not still science? Are you not doing science if a teacher directs you to perform experiments for a grade?

by u2328 13y ago
No, we have it right. People like you need to stop convicting everybody in our society for momentary instances of foolish behavior. Who cares if it was a ad-hoc experiment or something she saw on YouTube that her friends were trying to get

This is disgusting. Is this really how Florida treats its own? I grew up in Southern California and I blew out the circuits on my junior high's science building once. I got a firm talking to, a two-day suspension, and a uncool nickname out

I take that as a "no." I grew up as a programmer through C++ and Java, and the first time I ever worked on a JavaScript project, I hated it, and I said the same thing about JavaScript as you did. That's because I was thinking like a Java pr

I can tell. Let's lay it out: I said, (paraphrasing here), "yes, the GNOME dev was rude, but posting the link to the bug report on a bunch of social media sites without context was intended to illicit a reactionary response from the Inter

Really? Do you have a website? Can I make a hyperbolic post on it about you terrible you are? You won't remove it?
84.
by u2328 13y ago
Right. But, does that then also entitle people who only saw this bug report through social media (mostly Reddit) to make accounts so that they can make posts on the bug report like: > And this is why people don't use GNOME. What a joke.
85.
by u2328 13y ago
Yes, that's what I'm talking about, as well as all the posts on Reddit that link directly to the bug report without any context being provided.

by u2328 13y ago
What are you suggesting?
87.
by u2328 13y ago
It was rude, I'll give you that, although I'd take an issue that this is normal behavior in the community. I've interacted with a lot of GNOME devs, hell, a lot of developers in general. Some are rude, some are short, yes, but the overwhelm

If that one place is a bug tracker, then, yes. It's anti-social because the intent of linking to it directly was meant to encourage a response from the Internet. Hell, if some context was provided, and then it was linked to, that'd be a dif

by u2328 13y ago
This is a silly controversy that keeps getting taken out of context. A bug tracker is not a forum to discuss the direction of a project; there's other avenues for that (blog posts, etc...). Spam posting the link to the bug report to all the
