Can we just eliminate bad actor nation states like China and Israel from the Internet? Filter all packets coming from or going to there, have the backbone spyware sever proxy connections, etc? One year the first time, forever with repeat of

It's all gotten too complicated, clearly the direction of Linux is controlled by big companies who are mainly interested in the datacenter. I used OpenBSD because it's still Unix, it's not trying to become something it's

I always run the water in the bathroom and kitchen until it's super cold, letting me know I've gotten to the stuff fresh out of the main. But I was trained to do this because when I was a kid we had some lead pipes in our home, he

I don’t like the idea of acidic coffee inside the aluminum, it seems like your average consumer just doesn’t know, or care, about exposure to aluminum through this vector though.

The long line support improvement could be a game changer. I’m less interested in tree sitter and pixel-scroll seems like a nightmare - emacs users know how screwed up scrolling is already especially in large buffers. I’m just glad that you

Canon and Nikon both sell verification kits which can be used to cryptographically prove that a photo wasn't tampered with. Although these kits cost money, it seems it's just a flash drive with special software on it.

It can be made with no moving parts from water. I would contend that petrol is hydrogen with massive amounts of extra steps.

I think you've misunderstood - the social contract is a fiction, that's why it's purposely undefined in my opinion. It's just something we're told exists so we can feel like the fox watching the henhouse is a good a

I always chuckle a bit when I hear the term social contract. It's not legally enforcable, isn't codified, people can't choose to partake in it, and has always been intentionally vague. Almost like a trick to convince the mass

Hydrogen makes much more sense than battery powered cars. Japan's going for it in a real way, which means they will have a big head start in this field and dominate the next century. Battery cars are a dead end with insanely high envir

Learn emacs once and you're done - your customizations will stick around for years, decades. With the proprietary MS solution, you have no guarantee of this. Le sigh, I guess some people want to be subject to the whims of Redmond for l

I've noticed that Wayland advocacy (read: bot spam) has dropped off by quite a bit. Used to be you mention X.org or X11 and the bots would pour out of the woodwork to remind you it's "deprecated" or whatever - it's

The average user can barely hit the space bar with their forehead. Creating programming tools designed for the average user will always be a study in mediocrity.

It also has a consistent interface that YOU control yourself. Downside is you need an IQ of at least 95 to use it.
