What are the use-cases, and when would such a policy have led to a drastically different outcome (in the case of a crime being committed, industrial espionage, or what-have-you)? I…

I love using tcl/tk and Python's tkinter module. The complaint that it looks old-fashioned is addressed partly by using ttk (themed tk) but also just about every aspect of the widg…

Anecdotally, my Aunt had banned all guns and violent toys from her house. One morning, after serving breakfast, she noticed that my cousin had bitten his toast into the shape of a …

This old saw again? Shit. Just don't use Ubuntu. The writing is on the wall.

>t. Not a Linux user.

Google it bro

OpenBSD dabs on this list from the towering arches of the heavens.

Replying to myself here. Of course every commenter wanted to bikeshed the SSL/crypto sentence. I forgot where I was commenting. I accidentally set the stage for a mountain of secur…

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this level of pedantic cherry-picking, but yet... I still find myself bristling.

No, like choose to follow Sweden's example. Time will show.

You: "w-works on my machine" Ok bro cope however you want. Your defeatist attitude and worthless comment really make a strong case for using ubuntu.

Canonical always has tried to differentiate themselves, and they just can't execute. Remember Unity, Mir, Juju, upstart and all the other failed shit they've come out with? Snap is…

Looks like it's affecting git operations for me. Yikes.

>my friend, I call him "150". Yikes

UX careerists are clowns who chase trends and aesthetics over quality and function.

>a pandemic ravaging unchecked through the entire population would be having an even worse effect That's not a fact. That's your opinion.

Missing the point all over the place.

It really sucks you can't run your own webserver and host your own videos.

I don't like zoom either, but what exactly made them the HN punching bag of the month? Ad/surveillance giants like Google or FB are typically spoken of with notes of reverence and …

For me, it's python and tkinter.
