He could include himself. I have been involved in plenty of conversations about topics that don't interest me.

"If it's a big enough group then the obvious solution is to have a selection of prizes" Why? Is this really necessary? Everybody has gotten a gift or prize that they wouldn't use o…

If you wholesale abstain from an activity that the vast majority of people around you do, yes, you are a little alien.

What is it with people who don't drink being particularly disparaging about people who do and how and why they use it? "depending on alcohol for team building sounds like the worst…

The reason people are skittish about nuclear is because when it does fail, it fails catastrophically . The biggest failures in memory are all failures that risked making a multi ki…

My biggest problem with Mastodon is it’s psychotic user base.

As much as I love FOSS, Element isn’t even close to Discord. Discord has one click streaming, easy to understand voice rooms, etc. You don’t have to sort out hosting, and the overa…

One issue is that they won’t add fillets and chamfers.

This is a nice idea in theory, but the issue then becomes inconsistent moderation that affects what is visible to everyone. If you get banned or have posts deleted on one platform,…

The market was less established, so there was a lot more experimentation and people just trying to do completely random shit. That's why there are so many cool little tech artifact…

The source code is still open and available. It can be rehosted. Not going to jail is not an exclusively 'corporate' interest.

Fedora is part of Red Hat which does a lot of business with the US government.

As someone who loves Japan, they kinda did have it coming. They were doing some incredibly heinous shit at that time.

The company is based in the US. It's therefore subject to US law. There's nothing stopping anyone from forking / rehosting these things outside of the US.

That makes absolutely zero sense. The whole point of being able to modify and redistribute is about being in control of the software running on your system. That is explicitly abou…

I've been working for a long time now as IT Support, but it's never been my passion. I love computers and have been doing all kinds of things with them since I was 11 and even earl…

That is straight up infantile. Plenty of people have horrible ancestral histories. If you choose to obsess over it at every moment, that's not really anybody else's issue. As anoth…

By default you can't trust any for profit corporation. They will always do what is profitable over anything and everything else, as they are required to.

Reasons to use a credit union. People should be moving away from all these banks that essentially only abuse people on every level and move toward cooperative financial institution…
