As a trans person, would you rather go to a beach where nobody is armed, or to a beach where everybody might be armed?

And vice versa - you can run commands on your computer from your phone. Handy when you’re in bed but remember that you forgot to turn the computer off.

KDE Connect is awesome. I’ve been using it since it first came out (I think it was a GSoC project) with a variety of phones, and am 100% happy with it.

BTW, about the naming, KDE stopped the K thing around KDE 4, with apps such as Cantor.

It’s not about the book, it’s not even about sexuality. Yes these are the justifications they use, but at the core it’s all about finding someone they can hurt, and they found you. The cruelty is the point.

Yards are too similar to meters, us commie Europeans would actually know how much that is. Can’t have that.

You commit 16 lines, what do you get?

Another day older and deeper in debt

St. Peter, don’t you call me 'cause I can’t go

I owe my soul to the company store

I don’t know much about the topic in depth, but I can tell you the greatest problem with using a blockchain for such record keeping: there is no way to ensure that the service that was recorded in the blockchain actually matches the service that was performed. And this is the same problem that every single record keeping system has, so it’s not unique, but simply because of this all the greater reliability of the blockchain is meaningless.

Below 110K. That’s still at least 160K away from room temperature.

It’s available from the physics store, right next to point masses and frictionless pulleys.

I still don’t understand why a person’s pension is in any way related to their place of employment.

He also wasn’t found “innocent”, but “not guilty”.

There’s a vast difference between that. Not guilty means that we can’t prove he’s guilty beyond reasonable doubt, not that we can prove that he’s innocent.

It’s still very likely he committed crimes, but we can’t be sure enough to send him to jail.

And if Tesla can get fully reliable self driving, it will be a game changer.

But I’m not holding my breath for either.

Eh.

This “everything else” are stuff that previously didn’t even exist. There used to be only professional tools and a few games, now you have an app (or multiple apps) for everything.

And I’ll take a garbage program over one that doesn’t exist.

It’s not just the logo, the domain name is extremely similar too (x.com vs x.org).

Big brands like to own all variants of their domain (so you can’t register google.org or facebook.net, for example). But X can’t do that.

Every platform is nice at the start, for mainly the reason you say: people who join early have an interest in the platform, so we actually try to keep it nice.

Then every successful new platform gets its own eternal september. A large influx of people who don’t care about the platform at all, they just want to use it to talk to people. And of these, yes many are still nice people, but also many aren’t.

You see this in all kinds of communities, not just online. If you’re in a new or niche hobby, everybody there will have an interest in improving the hobby and the small community, so it will probably be very nice. When it gets mainstream (I’m looking at MTG here, but other people probably know other examples) then it starts to attract people who do nothing but complain.

Sadly, it was destined to fail. In Diaspora and in Google+.

The thing is, while people definitely do have different circles, they don’t like to think about these circles in an explicit way.

Facebook has had something like this for a while now, you can set visibility settings on every post, but again almost nobody uses it.

Does anyone remember Google+? When they tried to make everyone with a YouTube account also have a Google+ account.

Spoiler alert: it didn’t go well
