   I’m honestly curious, what’s the point of a personal mail server nowadays? Isn’t it the case that today they have two huge disadvantages: 1. Being plagued by spam, 2. Being considered spam by major mail services (where most of one’s recipie

   Sure we cause a mass extinction, I’m not saying “we don’t have any impact on other species”. My point still stands, the nature doesn’t care, this isn’t the first extinction and I bet won’t be the last. However, you didn’t address my main qu

   I understand the premise that the humanity is a burden for the Earth (though I disagree — we only make the conditions worse for ourselves, “The planet is fine; the people are fucked!”), but how could we possibly be a burden to a barren wast

   It’s the satellites’ size. The satellites are 20 Mm high above the ground so their spread is 53 Mm, which is 4.4 times the diameter of the Earth (12 Mm). So yes, the angular size of the satellite cloud (7.896°) is quite a bit larger than th

   You say the whole topic requires a lot of nuance and shouldn't be simplified and I say (while agreeing with you in the general case) there is no nuance when it comes to relieving a person from suffering. I get you've witnessed sui

   Sorry for uninvited advice, but you really shouldn't be using the keys in the corners for common actions (so common that you have a need to take the load off you pinkies). Utilise the CapsLock [1, 2]. (This key is so misbalanced in ter

   > ...low profile, no pads, ortho layout, and no tenting... I agree with the tenting remark, I can understand the preference against low profile, but I sincerely believe ortholinear is way better for one's hands than staggered. Maybe

    sgraz beat me to it! I’m working on an almost the same project (thin, slick, aluminium, ortholinear). Guess I’ll have someone to look up to. (:

    It was so frustrating when I was studying mathematics, I feel like just one more dimension would make understanding lots of concepts much easier; for me there is simply not enough points to extrapolate from: 0D is the degenerate case, 1D is
