Would you say that the install and maintenance load for both systems (Dropbox vs packages containers) is the same? Like, I'm confident my tech illiterate parents could get drop box…

Sorry, "would be super useful" be "would have helped me". Maybe those have different meanings to you? They mean more or less the same to me?

Because they have context that I don't? Because they quickly scan down to other comments and see the people explaining the joke? And not everyone else "got the joke". I'd assume ma…

Asking a non technical person to run and maintain docker containers is absurd.

I can install drop box in under ten minutes. I don't have to manage security patches for all the binaries in the stack. My data is available in network edge locations close to me o…

Are those features of sftp? It cvs? Or the vps provider? Or are you saying, "well, with a completely different stack I can get closer to feature parity"?

Which definitely won't happen with a cheap VPS provider. /s

People click the upvote button at a sufficient velocity.

What you've described is not at all an equivalent for Dropbox. There are many, many features that your stack doesn't support.

Yep. But if your user base is likely to include Americans, then you might want to consider filtering them out. (As it could be shocking to read.) Note the word consider , by the wa…

TIL. That said, I'm sure if you polled most folks these days, beaver would mean animal or women's genitalia, and not leave it to beaver. Given the relatively common crass meaning f…

Found a slur in the dataset, not sure if these are programmatically generated (I assume so) but may want to consider filtering those out.

He was saying density is bad. I was suggesting the opposite - it affords access to many and varied services.

You know you can rent cars, right? Or share a car as a community? And yes, it does mean some limits, but they aren't as severe as many people think.

I mean, sure. Some places have become urban centers recently and that's fair. But coast to coast, our biggest population centers were all established and built up before car centri…

You can easily live in Seattle city limits without owning a car, and our transit story is pretty bad. In a city that really funded transit it would be trivial.

Find a space you enjoy. I enjoy getting able to walk to the grocery store, bookshop, several cafes, many restaurants, hair salon, library, tattoo parlor, beer shop, movie theater, …

The US absolutely tore up cities to make them more car friendly. Redlining and slum clearing were used as justifications to knock down entire neighborhoods to put more roads in. Mo…
