That's enough of what, Dan? This comment was substantive, responsive to the parent comment, and cordial; it didn't provoke a flame war nor could it be expected to, it didn't include any quips or sick burns . If you don'

If you're referring to the sentence containing “several members have been affiliated with white supremacy”, it kinda doesn't jive with the fact that their highest leadership position is filled by an afro-cuban man, and the fact th

Yeah, I think there are a lot of distro bugs, and a lot of old or mismatched packages, outside of the Arch/Manjaro ecosystem. This hurts the impression of Mesa, the Kernel, and basically anything else like this where there's no go

> One of the neat things about PalmOS is that it ran apps directly from where they were stored. No need to load them into "memory". In practice this is not the way it worked on PalmOS on actual hardware past a certain point,

I think you need a couple more things than that, like marking excessive cross-slopes, and having a better way to mark mid-way issues. The fields definitely exist, but there's not really a focused method of entering data like this, and

Is there any plan to integrate with or produce your own wheelchair routing, and help with accessibility information for ways as well as points of interest (what WheelMap does right now). I've moved to a smaller city; and while thin

There is nothing racist about economic sanctions against a country which is in active conflict with our armed forces outside of their borders, which is actively engaged in psy-ops to destabilize American society. Economic sanctions against

Characterizing this as “discrimination against Persian people” is extremely dishonest. There are like half a million Persian people in America alone, as many as there are Wyomingites, who have the same access to GitLab as anyone else; this

Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure you're looking forward to WebTransport+QUIC as well, I know I am. I'm already doing some little tweaks to our WebSocket RPC and bulk transfer layers to resemble WebTransport so it&#x2

I think they're talking about Google QUIC, which formed the basis for both IETF QUIC and HTTP/3; Facebook has been deploying Google QUIC for a long while now maybe, AFAIK. The people at fault here are probably the IETF lol.

It's Apple's problem to solve though, I mean, outside of developers writing code that's more efficient to begin with so it doesn't really matter when it's 10x slower, but they should probably be doing that anyway.

I feel like this would be a dramatically better device if they worked with the Raspberry Pi Foundation instead of heaping it into a board with a PowerVR GPU, one of the few remaining major mobile/embedded GPU lineups with no meaningf

Much as I think its loose interpretation has a lot to do with the success of major internet hubs, it has become clear that unlimited liability for selective publishers is not a sustainable model for American public life. We can not sustain

Kana are (mostly) syllabaries, which should make them a lot easier for dyslexics.

Sure, I'm not saying everything has to make sense, but buddy here was claiming that 国 had cleaner etymology than 國, and to me it seems like one of these is indirect, and the other is very direct.

Then why not just put 王 in the box rather than 玉? As far as I can tell the 王 glyph predates the invention of 玉, and the purpose of this new glyph was to distinguish 玉 from 王. Also isn't a land within borders still a better analogy for
