No, I do not ignore but it doesn't matter what people think if people live in such form of government, symbols still matter. Do not forget that nazism, fascism etc do not born as "bad guys with many guns and ammunition", they

Sorry for my poor English, not my motherlanguage. You are right being a monarchy says nothing of the legality of private companies searching citizens homes. However being a monarchy means NOT being citizens, peer between peers and thet&#x27

Thanks for such news, here in France and in my home country Italy, we do not here anything at all... Well I know YLE because of an ancient article about their "Nuntii Latini" news but substantially nothing else. Apart of YLE in En

Canada is NOT a democracy, is a "protectorate" of UK crown, so do not be surprised. Canadians are NOT citizen, they are, formally, subjects of her majesty the queen. In continental Europe such an action is simply illegal: only off

Internet != web. It's time IMVHO to start "filter out" actual web from our lives, we have usenet, we have mails, we have spamassassin, killfiles, mail aliases (at least on paid mails), we have (few) modern MUAs like Notmuch,

Because IT for the masses is not a game anymore. In nearly all countries of the world you need to get a license witch means prove you know how to drive before get a car, a plane, a motorbike etc, in nearly any countries you have to attend s

IMVHO simply because of social degradation, in the past even outlaws normally behave far better in society, we (as society) simply became from adults to child, regardless of our age and that's the problem. Someone think that's bei

When you teach something to your child do you lack of empathy it you say "hey child you have MANY thing to learn, let's start, will be a nice journey" instead of saying "hey child, your a king, do whatever you want"

Any of us "born ignorant" and after (hopefully) learn, it's not elitism, IMVHO is realism: masses completely miss IT education (not in school programs) and learn from what they have got; they have got colorful UI from media,

That's true but only to a limited extent: if you see today's we still have active groups without spam, with highly valuable discussions... Spam is a symptom of our social degradation, and it's not a thing of usenet nor intern

Well... Spam was not a real thing at the usenet golden age, killfile largely suffice. Today thanks to the experience we have from emails we can easily apply antispam to usenet. On rich text... Well, while I welcome an org-mode-formatted use

Mh, did you ever tried modern shell like zsh or fish, with a reasonable config? Or even better, despite a bit steep learning curve, eshell (Emacs) if you already know Emacs and elisp a bit or xonsh if you are already familiar with Python. A

Nice, not really useful for me (I can correct by hand, probably at the same or higher speed and with more predictable results) however nice and scenic. Perhaps it work better inside zsh/fish autocorrection, extended it to another level
