    From the article: > multiple cursors really are better than macros 99.999% of the time (since they give direct visual feedback) I don't know what he means, vim macros also give dir…

    The GPS meridian doesn't align with the steel(?) bar anyway. There's a Tom Scott video about it.

    I don't know about this case, so I can only speak in general. A lot of times people that say this don't make a strong case that some theoretical more moderate protest would be effe…

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but zero-mistake seems harsh. I would say that AI references are a sign of something that is not simply a mistake. However, we can have zero toleran…

    dns_snek never said any specific person as a mindless consumer. They argued that if you see nothing but drama then that implies you are a mindless consumer. The argument is that a …

    To be technically correct: if even a single non-premium member can, for some reason, see who viewed their profile, then the statement "only Premium members can see who has viewed t…

    Maybe I'm lucky in the instance I chose or the content I like being uncontroversial, but this isn't my experience at all. I've heard of instances carrying a lot of Nazi content bei…

    There are four open source period tracking apps on F-droid. I didn't do a full investigation of the source code, but unless your data is being uploaded outside the app (e.g. for ba…

    If you have a big site and want as broad an access as possible I agree. But I wouldn't be surpised if we start seeing self-hosted minecraft or factorio servers with ipv6 only.

    I'm not experienced with other CAD programs, but I think scaling stuff works fine. If you want to scale your entire object, there's a scale part operation in the part toolbench. Bu…

    You can name them if you want, and the names will show up in the properties of the operation, and you can reuse the values in formulas. There's a lot of options, and I think a lot …

    Technically you can get second-hand keys, but good luck verifying that it's actually a legal resale. Also good luck getting the latest, most up to date version of Vista. You still …

    Yes, and the developers of Gnome are strongly encouraging you to move to Wayland. You are free to ignore that suggestion. If you delete the first 13 words from my previous comment …

    You can use an old version of Gnome and accept older software, or you can organize some fellow GNOME enthusiasts to maintain it, possibly with paid developers. You can't legally ge…

    The subsidies are also paid by vegans. Both the average meat consumption and average subsidy can be multiplied by the total population to get the total.

    You can like the taste of meat but think it's unethical to kill animals for food. It's not necessarily a "problem", but it is something a reasonable person might want, and so there…

    If enough people agree with you, should pay to get your news in a non-misleading, non-sensationalist way. Sensationalist and misleading news is caused by newspapers that need to ap…

    I pay for a (local, non-english) newspaper. The reporting certainly isn't perfect, but: - They seem less sensationalist, I guess because they don't depend on clicks to survive - Th…

    I don't know about how secure enclaves work, so this may be a solution I'm not aware of. Thank you for explaining! So I guess the whole game software, or at least a significant par…

    If we have DRM with some private key, then I guess your idea is I download the game files and some private key and that allows me to run the game. If I can send you the private key…

    It is a more complex system than having a single central organization. Not every interest is well represented, so there may not be a lot of content for everyone. I've never had a m…

    I see your point a bit better. I definitely agree that insurance can be terrible. I will say that with US health insurance you've pretty much picked the worst possible insurance to…
