Pretty sure their security concerns aren't nebulous. They only lost 27 million people. Not a big deal to you, maybe. But they will never forget and allow that to happen again. So y…

Libya and Afghanistan?

Clearly you are ignoring the history of the conflict and the desires of the Russians, and thereby the entire reason for the invasion. It was explained clearly many times prior to t…

I have felt the same way at times. Just not waking up, so nobody can say that I quit. My advice is to focus on healing your self with therapy sessions. Assuming this might sound li…

I highly recommend Doomberg's substack for energy related analysis. His article "Angels on a Pin" explains how storing nuclear waste is not as scary as people make it out to be. Di…

It's going to be really interesting to see how Jack Mallers' app Strike now entering Argentina is going to change things in the country.

If you'll forgive my naivete here I've been thinking a lot about the FSF philosophy and wanted to ask HN: how big of a project would it be to create a fully libre (whatever you wan…

What does the YComb community think p2p apps like GNU Jami? I never hear much about it and think it's pretty decent unless someone has good reasons to think otherwise. Thanks

They should especially apply that to civil asset forfeiture

It would be nice if there was a Linux alternative to whatever hospital infrastructure is still running windows xp. I mean it would be lucrative, secure, and even help to pay for th…
