wow, there are some really steaming takes on anarchism in the comments here.

thanks for the heads up and the link!

hopefully by then it’ll all be sorted by whatever fix they implemented before 2038.

yes? i don’t understand your apparent incredulity here.

not very much. honestly, only once or twice, for a laugh, which is probably still more than most folks lol

what you wrote sounds completely insane to me. sure i don’t use a mouse on my phone very much, but no way would i ever prefer a trackpad to a mouse for a desktop or laptop. and tons of people still carry a mouse to use with their laptops, based on my observations. i really think you may be an outlier here.

is there a non sexist/queerphobic meaning for that term? i would assume the bigotry is the whole point.

some ereaders do use android, my old onyx did, but honestly i much prefer the dedicated solution kobo has. they could use android, but if they’ve got the resources to make their own os targeting their actual use case instead of cramming a mobile phone os in there, why wouldn’t they? even their os has too much cruft for my taste, but it is a lot less than an android ereader.

second day you say? why, by then we can have the second backup bridge designed, printed, and installed next to the first, so that is not a problem. every two days, a new bridge.

what subtitle? all i see is the title “Such an interesting idea!” and a link with a thumbnail. is there more information that my client isn’t displaying?

from the thumbnail, i really thought this was gonna be a joke about reinventing paragraphs

wth. radiation proof? is this for visiting the chernobyl exclusion zone?

i don’t want to go to all that effort. if you feel like it, could you describe it?

couldn’t read the whole article, but the first couple paragraphs seem to contradict the headline. ‘~15% of reddit users have encountered corporate astroturfing’ is not the same as ‘15% of content on reddit is corporate astroturfing’.

i thought the top bit was originally 0 or 1 depending on the evilness/odiousness of the rest of the number, as a parity check.

unless you’re living there or otherwise using the place, it shouldn’t be ‘your property’.

to save everyone from the clickbaity title, it’s linux. they’re talking about linux.

i think they probably donate so much to make sure they have at least one competitor so they don’t get busted up like Standard Oil

my favorite name origin for a bit of software relates to the text editor nano. nano was written as a standalone clone of Pico, as a play on metric prefixes, but Pico is actually Pine compositor, part of Pine, an email client. Pine itself was based on an earlier email client called Elm, and has been attributed as various recursive acronyms such as ‘Pine Is Nearly Elm’
