It's all about who you think is more likely to put you in a van. If you are an American it probably won't be the FSB. Different countries will vary on this decision.

It's a non issue if you don't live in Russia. Also not a coin flip. If you are outside of Russia using Russian based services is objectively better.

It's comments like this that convince me most programmers are arogant douchebags. Just because someone has a weird idea about an event that had almost no direct affect on the general population doesn't mean we should remove those peoples ability to have a choice in matters which will effect them.

Knowing more than someone else does not make you morally superior or give you more of a right to have a say in your own fate.

Or the other more logical reason being that free speech platforms are typically only clones of more poput platforms which don't offer any more features or increase ease of use.

I think it's completely possible for a popular pro free speech platform to exist provided it is able to be more user friendly or have some other killer feature.

Terraria: Otherworld was a planned spinnoff version of Relogic's main game Terraria which never came to fruition. Redigit, the president of Relogic, has stated that if he can get 100,000 signatures, he will open-source the game.

You're not the only one. I'm this way too. However, I can listen to music while doing system admin stuff but for anything else I need absolute silence.

That's interesting because I frequently add Reddit to the end of my searches. Particularly when it's a niche topic and increasingly for regular topics. Apparently a lot of other people who are fed up with search engines had the same idea. It's a very unfortunate development but nowadays Google search is almost unusable for some topics.

When I take notes I take them with a laptop precisely because of the increased speed it provides. Usually I find that note taking in general is actually counter productive because it diverts my attention away from the lecture. As a result I want the note taking process to have a low cognitive burden so I don't miss what my instructor is saying.

I usually use Emacs Org-mode for my note taking and then refactor my notes once class is over.
