So your ex preferred sex over social contact with you, as the poster above mentions the use of pornography over social contact; and between the lines, you prefer a free social life over the dominance of sex (apart from other issues your mar

I've got an older brother, the T440s, also running Arch Linux. It's pretty good. The keyboard had to be replaced because a few keys broke off after 2 years; it got replaced on-site for free though. The feel is good but apparently

Right now most information dissemination seems to happen through commercial or state actors. Neither appears to be very reliable regarding neutrality and impartiality. There are also political and religious platforms that don't inspire

I've been using the standard library, httptreemux and Chi, depending on how large the project is. I have also used Gorilla in the past, and sometimes use Alice to compose handlers. I prefer to stay close to the standard library, so as

Just guessing, but maybe the CD version is also used for radio play, and needs to be mastered as loud as possible not to lose the war? I guess special purpose releases don't usually end up on the radio so they can be mastered for peopl

I used the torch-and-pitchfork expression because it is an idiomatic expression in my native language; and because PC overreaction to e.g. a bad word tends to come in the form of an angry higher-ground posse, as I have noticed since childho

Somewhat ironically, this is a clear example of an emotional outrage post. I'm not sure how you go from my post to a specific event in the US, and assign a political colour to that post, and put me on a specific side. I have nothing to

The trend of outrage posses armed with pitchforks and torches in politics, gender debates and whatnot is particularly worrying for those of us that need some slack and don't deserve to be crucified by an angry mob because we used the w

But I want to know exactly what and how the people who "hate" me think. The idea that censorship solves the problem is pretty flawed; I assume Trump got elected in part by people who felt they couldn't speak their own thought

I agree, and rephrasing the problem in different ways often helps to define what it is in you that bothers you about/in others. Your feelings are not wrong, but it would do well to understand them as clearly as possible, in the first p

Oh man, voices of reason sound nice. What happened to reason instead of hollow emotion? I am right, you are wrong, and you shouldn't be listened to, because you are a nazi, and nazis are bad, and you deserve bad things happening to you

I don't think KDE has too many settings, but I do agree that the need to adapt to different form factors has made a lot of UI a lot cleaner and more concise. Mobile and tablet interfaces seem to have had a positive impact on cleaning u

Probably similar to herding cats – too many opinions and too many directions to get pulled in. My girlfriend worked in an artists' co-op with equal share and high level of democracy. Everybody's ideas are always great so as to not

A lot of stuff depends on the basic Unix commmands though. It might be better to invent a new command name if the output differs in ways that would break both human and machine expectations. The difference between BSD and GNU versions of so

I agree. And may I add the ecosystem: which third party modules you should or shouldn't be looking at, and if you should rely on them or roll your own.

Except that a handgun's primary purpose is just that; it's a pretty blunt tool. But software can have many purposes, even if it is security related: research, practice, proof-of-concept, curiosity, ... We better hope they have som

I mostly agree with the grandiose self-delusion of modern valuations, but I guess it also depends on what kind of service you're providing. If there's a social element, i.e. you share things with others, "community", you

I guess the age-old adage is men say yes, women say no. Guys have to get a yes, and it's a very difficult social maze which clearly brings out the people with mental issues. Men are expected to take initiative and be somewhat persisten

I feel for the person, but I'm not sure what the police can do if somebody stalks without committing a clear offence, just like the case where somebody might be a terrorist but hasn't committed any act of terrorism yet. You can&#x

I can't make up my mind how much this is freedom of speech (and offend, which is never a reason for censorship in my book) and how much this is just being annoying.

But companies wouldn't give commit access to somebody they just "hired" over the internet that "wants to help", and they'd (hopefully) have multiple layers of code sign-off before it ends up in the repository.

One can only foolishly hope Nokia'd consider pulling in Sailfish again for some devices. The circle would be complete and "Meego" would be back to where it was just before the board sold the company to Microsoft. Perhaps not
