.colors() isn't exactly groundbreaking and there are plenty of free color scheme apps/sites out there that are more full-featured.

I ignore most of it.

Gee, if only they had a Linus Torvalds type around to block irresponsible commits.

There's more ways to be impolite than saying nasty words.

Linus had been treating all this situation very fairly so far, but I guess Intel just had to repeatedly try pushing very bad fixes to a problem they created themselves.

Imagine you go to a restaurant, and the waiter just repeatedly brings you the wrong order, repeatedly.

Most of the stuff I read about Bitcoin seems to be articles trying to make something positive or negative happen to it, rather than accurately describing what's happening with Bitcoin.

There's a lot of "valid reasons" for doing a lot of bad things.

> then you are a part of the problem, not the solution

^ regrettable quote

> Are you going US vs THEM on 2 billion people? Good luck with that.

^ another regrettable quote

Something's popularity says nothing about its value. See, for example, religion. The most popular ones still suck a lot. Some more than others.

> When cis white men get threatened with losing their livelihoods by over-active PC campaigners, do you complain that the fact that they are cis white men features in the story?

If they'd start their complaint with "we as white men" I'd get tired of reading it pretty early too.

> When these stories feature the fact that that man has three children to feed, do you complain about the emotional blackmail?

I'll admit I'm less tired of this particular brand of emotional blackmail. Having children is holding responsibility for other people's lives.

If it's important to include the bit, then why stop the list there? What about apostates? Autists? Fat people? People who are otherwise unemployed?

I agree with the other poster. This feels like not only emotional blackmail, but tired, overused emotional blackmail. You can very reasonably bring up the angle of people who depend on the platform for their income without dragging around the identity politics baggage with it.

The new week at VICE's headquarters has started well

> Too bad Linux still doesn't play nice with most games. SteamOS was a failure.

It depends heavily on the engine being used or if custom engine on how much the devs have relied on stuff designed to wall your product into windows.

There's like a couple of games out of ~100 I got on Steam that I've had big problems with in Ubuntu. A couple others just needed launch options to prevent the game from guessing settings so wrong I can't even fix those in-game and launch a launcher program where I can tweak those before starting the game.

> What is the point of a Linux based console?

Let's break it down

> What is the point of a console?

Very predictable hardware specs & setup.

> What is the point of the console being Linux-based?

Reduction of brand-new OS development costs; potentially zero need for writing drivers depending on hardware setup; very extensive presence of compilers / interpreters / libraries that can be freely usable out of the box.

The Ayo.js project page has literally a "personal pronouns" column for the of project members and the moderators list is as big as the list of developers.

I don't think this is going to take off at all.

I was willing to entertain his point of view for a moment.

Then the top post is inviting me to check the node subreddit to look at how much the community upvotes bigotry, and on first glance I see that's clearly bullshit.

Then I check one of this tweets trying to draw simpathy becauase some Random Person On The Internet called him a bigot, I follow the retweet, and the tweet calling him a bigot is a response to a tweet of his introducing racial / gender politics into fucking Javascript testing.

It looks like these days that every most of the time someone is making drama about abuse on Twitter is looks like they have done all the legwork to earn that abuse and are hoping you don't have 30 seconds to take a look at their sources and see their own dirty hands all over the buildup.

Remember kids, nothing good ever happens on Twitter and if you're spending a lot of time there then there's a huge chance you're going to regret it one way or another.

I wish there was the opportunity to drive myself off the cliff at the end. :(

> Interesting how >80% of the commenters are defending panics

That's false.

GNU Social is low traffic, but it's alive and well.

> The case has become a battleground for civil liberties campaigners, who believe that citizens should have the right to protect their critical information and to be protected from self-incrimination.

Somehow I remember there had been a recent very high-profile precedent being set for having the permission to "delete private data" and "wiping computer data" before handing over your computer to law enforcement.

> This blog post feels like the documentation at MDN, tedious and unclear.

Of all things Mozilla may be doing wrong, the MDN docs on html / javascript is most definitely not one of it. They are by far the best available.

It's better their funds are used that way than in euthanizing pets.

We as a collective think we're so wise and helpful by discussing how guilty we are in a mostly tech-oriented message board.

What happened was a crime. What are we as a collective supposed to do? Routinely exterminate criminals? Develop pre-crime police units? Build a large well-monitored wall around protected areas? What is the big insight that we as as a collective are supposed to learn from the supposed collective guilt?

There's literally a very small amount of people responsible for this atrocity and I hope they serve adequate sentences in prison for their crimes.

> we as modern humans

Most humans had literally nothing to do with this.

BeeJ's guides don't get as much visibility as they deserve.

I hope one of them is "I like the legal risk that comes with exposing myself to patent trolling": https://medium.com/@dwalsh.sdlr/using-graphql-why-facebook-n...

Helicopter parenting is one problem, legal enforcement of helicopter parenting is an entirely different monster.

> Doxxers, Spammers, RevengePorners, and various other online trollers

They do not all fit one same category and we cannot have one-approach-fits-all

* RevengePorners: Clear cut criminal behavior, have the service cooperate with prosecution.

* Spammers: Depends on whether they're leading you into malware. Filters have gone a long way in dealing with that specific thing. In some legislations plain spamming may be criminal too.

* Doxxers: Grey area of law tbh, when paired with threats could easily categorize into criminal behavior.

* Trolls: Take the internet less seriously, be more conservative about sharing your identity online and lurk more. Of all things I don't understand why the current zeitgeist is "take all trolling as seriously as possible and give them stupidly large amounts of power and act surprised when trolling only gets worse".

> What would it take to avoid this kind of censorship?

Decentralization & p2p technologies

I'm so glad we're handing out the responsibility to establishing what's true and what's moral to megacorporations. Absolutely nothing can go wrong this way, after all they told us that "they care" and they are "not evil".

Could any share of this be due to fringe far-left groups targeting minorities for their "fuck everything about the system and STEM education is bad" recruitment campaigns?
