Well there's a start (but the bittorrent people should shout about those sorts of uses)

Someone else's democracy. You don't get that flag-waving, chest-beating attitude here in Britain. We're shit and we know we are (as I think the chant goes)

Unity at least had an exciting purpose behind it. I have no idea what the Gnome team were thinking when they designed 3. I actually quite like some of the ideas in Deepin though

I think there's still potential to steer BT in a more exciting direction if there was the will to from those involved. More quality software projects using it to download by default. Bring the trust back, shake off the reputation for j

Blaming the American people is like blaming the cogs in a machine for the design of the product it produces.

It's just this habit I have where if I'm interested in challenging someone's ideas or preconceptions, I do it in a gentle way and from a place of curiosity and understanding rather than reinforce their misconceptions by being

Without wanting to particularly single you out, it does worry me that people anywhere on the political spectrum so massively misunderstand other positions, whether through wilful ignorance or otherwise.

The "we're so awful" business is usually of the "why do we british do/think X" variety where X is something popular with a largely separate subset of people to Guardian writers and readers. Then we can pat ours

I think that's fair. Not sure who was challenged by this piece apart from the author. Sometimes that can be interesting of itself though.

It's certainly going to be an easy sell to the bulk of the Guardian's readership. Can't see them publishing the equivalent article about the prejudices of, say, the north London elite.

I think I did the opposite? Pretty sure I blamed the corporate culture for him not having a better way to express himself without causing this problem.

I'd love to see a p2p wikipedia and a p2p twitter alternative Moving bittorrent away from it's present image could be achieved by making p2p useful beyond bluray rips

I feel like if someone thinks they'll try Linux and they pick a Gnome 3 distro to test, they won't stick around or won't appreciate Linux for the reasons many of us do. Gnome 3 is basically everything I don't like about

I don't think the worst is his being wrong and biased but that rather than discuss his concerns in a sensible way (i.e. quietly and with someone in a position to set him right on the diversity issue) he has caused a shitstorm by making

You could argue that but that in itself doesn't give the argument credibility.

Of course he did. It's like Ukip claiming not to be racist. The most generous view is that they don't realise that what they advocate is discriminatory or disproportionately affecting particular demographics.

Do you think the search problems are the barrier to their monetisation because surely that's a problem money can easily fix

It's awful Twitter used to feel like a good party, with a great range of people with stories and opinions and hopes to talk about. That's definitely over now. I'm really enjoying mastodon.social though, it feels like how the

It's mad that we're in this situation, with a government so paralysed and impotent that kicking the can down the road like this is being touted as an achievement.

Had the pleasure of meeting Alain Aspect once who would definitely have, at that time at least, argued the opposite.
