Sure, the bad guys are getting worse, but does that excuse the good guys getting less good? The article wasn't particularly original, and certainly didn't serve enlightenment, but it did make me ever so slightly less cheerful about Harris. Now might not be the time to complain about details like this, but — if those concerns are founded — the details are still worth remembering.

Using multiple consecutive hyphens. Some schools used -- for em-dash, others --- (still used today in latex), and then -- for en-dash.

I was literally about to write that, beat me to it.

Edit: write

Lite is barely relevant for Firefox anyway. Gorhill (along with host list maintainers) is one of the saints of modern day open source; if he felt overwhelmed by Mozilla's actions, and chose to just take Lite down from the extension store, he has every right to. No one should shit on someone who has given so much to the community.

Performance wise they should be identical, what matters is how many lists you have enabled, etc. If anything, performance-focused list management will result in more performance with ordinary uBO. Either way, gothill is a legend

Edit: I'm wrong, apparently Lite can be faster on android after all

I have a host list on my router. That always seemed like plenty (I block gambling and malware)

My thoughts exactly. It may take more time to set up (I, for example, never got my laptop speakers working when I installed it there), and it may not have as much hardware support (a shitty old HP pre-built was giving me ACPI errors and refusing to boot; and yes, I had updated the BIOS), but update-wise, it's super stable, but also quite up-to-date. It's not crazy (kernel updates take some time occasionally), but it's a great experience, and the inclusion of runit is fantastic. Hearty recommendation.

The Bagdad Café. It's not exciting, or romantic, or tragic, or even that funny. But it's beautiful. God I love that film. It seriously has some of the best acting, directing, and writing I've ever witnessed. Second would probably be Casablanca/Lawrence of Arabia/Pulp Fiction/Eight and a Half/......

Edit: also black cat white cat Edit: Pane e Tulipani Edit: Buster Keaton's The Cameraman

As a angry, nihilistic teenager: very fucking true. I am literally the only techy guy in my posh bullshit private international school (in Europe so affordable). The only other dude who uses Linux (I'm using that as a bare minimum for "techy") isn't into programming or reverse engineering shit even remotely. I'm all alone (apart from all my non-technical friends). I suppose that's where the nihilism comes from...

I suppose ray-tracing is rather suggestive of games, you're right. Well, I'll take it as an accident by the author and rest easy. Thanks for the correction!

The topic is bloatware, not games. Very different. When it comes to gaming, the hardware costs are a given (for the sake of innovation, as you put it); but when it comes to something fundamental to your computer—think of the window manager or even the operating system itself—bloat is like poison in the hardware's veins. It is not innovation. It is simply a waste of precious resources.

Thank you!

Explain this to a long-time runit user... (Seriously, I'm lost)

Okay, seriously though: the Lunar Launcher is the only one I have found consistently minimalist and yet practical. I can only recommend it.

I LOVE the Lunar Launcher!

My life + espresso. When my life gets too slow: espresso. When I drink espresso and 10 minutes go by: slow life. I clearly need more espresso. Then suddenly, everything seems ok. I my life is at a good speed, I don't seem to need espresso… but now I want espresso! Goddammit.

This is actually genius, because then, while you're at it, you could add different ports too, like RCA ports, a bit-perfect Toslink, etc. I desperately want this phone now! I don't care if it weighs a few extra kilograms, I NEED TOSLINK!

I remember some mountain-bike frenemies bragging about this :P

I am thoroughly confused as to why this comment is getting downvotes. It corrects the misinterpretation of the poster in a polite and civilized manner, while bringing forth interesting discussion as to what the future may hold and possible solutions to our country’s predicament.

Op, just found it.
