Reminds me of crunchbang, in that it's a small opinionated distro-ish. Seems like a fun try.

Post-truth era is wild. But this seems like standard Oracle behavior for a while now.

I grew up watching The Rock. As an adult, it's hard to look past the persona he shows when talking about anything on any medium.

I think the issue is that when people are desperate (lost job, can't pay for needs, etc) critical thinking can be limited to just short term survival mode. Even if it doesn't make sense big picture wise. Democratic party needs to

I'm a little confused here and I'm sure I'm missing the point. This article seems to argue (and some comments here) that being rude should be normal? Why? Why wouldn't we be nice to customers for their business? On the o

Very interesting! If you're willing to share, I'm hoping you can elaborate a bit more. Do you make apps/games that you want? Or do you target specific genres? How do you choose?

Very interesting story. Quitting social media is something I've thought countless times. But after reading this I can't help but think what if this comment is a psy-op operation. Very meta and inside my own head. Which can be a go

Thinking out loud what I've thought for awhile. The Supreme Court is an unelected political entity. Can this be fixed?

Fascinating project! Anyone know of possible overlap with Firecracker? Really digging these Rust projects.

Indeed very cool. I was recently surprised to see so much Rust via Pop_os.

Completely agree. Though I can see a future where gaming gives it "competition" in this area. Especially with esports on the rise. Multi million dollar prizes and loyalties forming around these teams.

Very good comparison and similarities can be drawn between the target audience. Unfortunately gaming sees deaths too with swatting and what not

Seriously. I can't think of any other group but not really looking that hard. And I love the medium. It's my go-to hobby. And like many here, I got into programming because I wanted to make my own games (still do) I refuse to use

I don't believe I'm familiar with JIT in this context? Just in time development?

Isn't this the equivalent of "I can do Dropbox in one weekend"?

This line of thinking seems right and what I assume most would take away from this incident (Maybe I have to reevaluate my line of thinking?). I'm surprised to see so many people making this a black or white, 1 or 0 binary choice out o

Interesting rant/mind dump. I tend to agree. I'd like to know the moment we decided yaml should be a programming language. Projects like opsmops and pulumi seems to be headed in the right direction

This is very interesting POV. Thinking out loud, if Micrsoft made their own PCs from the beginning and got as big as it did, would they have had the same problems? > phone software because Google is separate from the phone makers What if

I guess that is traditional 2fa that never occurred to me. Shouldn't we update that to include one-time passcodes like we do know for most things?

Interesting distinction. Genuinely curious of examples from either group.

Completely oblivious and ignorant here: If a company has no official office in Europe, how does this affect them? All advertisement and business focus is say only in the US, is it business as usual? What if an EU citizen decides to sign up?

There is willful ignorance mostly by those profiting. But it's not as simple as "well-meaning liberals". That seems like a re-writing of history when there are plenty of examples from the left protesting these deals. And it&#
