Is this moderated in some way? It is the internet. Hard to see how this doesn't fill with doodles of penises and other similar things or worse.

You're spot on. Software is infinitely flexible provided time and/or resources.

So much this. Discord UI was for simple voice and text chat. Over time it's had so many other things shoe horned in its now a royal kludge.

The act of "allowing“ negates the “without your approval“. You see the failure in the logic here I hope.

Almost none of the discussion here accounts for time and growth. Almost all of us have had that moment where someone "argued" with us over something we were wrong about and unwilli…

IBM doesn't do technology they do contracts. Any "technology" is marketing stunts. They hire a bunch of "fellows" outside contractors to make a thing they can be first at or whatev…

Also anyone who gave two shits about security hated it because it was a security nightmare. Don't leave a hater out.

"From £64,189 p.a. depending on skills and experience" I maintained a collection of well organized rocks as a child. Surely that gets me a bit more than base pay right?

There are still individuals, who make up the company, who have to read and try to formulate responses to said abusive behavior. It's usually the lower paid support staff not the en…

The replies here are horrifying. Yes corporations are not people. But they are made up of people. I'd imagine most here work in them yourselves. Often less well paid support staff …

I call this "dev think". Blames user for not thinking ahead when they themselves haven't thought ahead about how users use things. It's everywhere these days, as an end user of thi…

If you setup meshtastic for the love of all that is holy reindex your channels so the public channel is 1 instead of 0. Range tests default to 0. The public channel in my area is r…

There's a whole lot of people who want software to do certain things but whos job isn't programming and life requirements don't allow the time for all the book reading, tutorial ru…

Edge cases? There's a long history of brand new triple A games running poorly or not at all on Windows. Evstablished games have plenty of problems. There are millions on millions o…

This! It blows my mind every bank doesn't have a sort of scripting language of some sort that let's me automate whatever I want to happen. I've seen a few services that supposedly …

I think they think that's converted by streaming unfortunately.

Can confirm. I live in a US city and the only 9 involved is maybe the very first number. I've lived here just over a year and we've had 1 full day without power and probably 8 to 1…

Does symbolism elicit emotion? I hope that's sarcasm. Let's ask some folks about gold stars and swastika and and and...

>I've been running my own mail services for close to 30 years now... There's the rub. 30 years ago this was true. Old systems have been grandfathered in. A combination of rising sp…

Seems like a lot of comments here are US centric. As if Canonical and Suse don't exist and aren't Europe based/focused? Also a lot of arguments that MS provides some total package …

The benefit to folks who flash devices frequently is obvious. However, joe user, the other 3 billion or so users couldn't care less. Poking holes in the sandbox for those folks is …

Not a new concept. If you aren't paying you are the product. Increasingly capitalism demands the product also pay. Buckle up, late stage capitalism continues.

Software support being hand hold-y is nice and all but entirely pointless if the hardware isn't performant enough to run the workloads you want/need.
