Sexism is very clearly an issue in tech, and this particular thing was one of the manifestations of sexism in tech. I can't blame the people reacting to this when they face this kind of culture pretty much every day.

If we let intolerant people thrive, we will build a system where intolerance thrives while tolerant people, as well as the people the intolerance is directed towards, will be dealt with in a totalitarian way. "Paradox of tolerance" is a fundamentally liberal idea coined by Karl Popper, and it is fundamental to a free society, as the Soviet and Nazi regimes have shown by essentially targeting the same people under different coats of paint.

Waterfox is already a thing, check that out.

isn't pocket owned by Mozilla anyway

Been like this for a while, because games are supposedly apps to Apple and thus they don't allow app marketplaces as apps.

Which is pretty cynical if you ask me, as most open source toolkits are distributed as binaries for free, to be accessible by everyone.

To put it in abstract, the "other side of things" currently wants me, as a part of the minority group, either dead or without my rights, while its representatives in the big politics are currently busy defending the police force which actively discriminates against ethnic minorities and commits literal crimes on the streets while violating the first amendment conservatives supposedly uphold.

With that in mind, a bunch of conservatives being afraid according to a report by the Koch-funded organisation is not my problem.

Us troops were actively trying to stop schools with little girls from getting blown up

By blowing up other schools, hospitals, weddings, and countless of civilians?

War crimes are war crimes. And it's not like we don't know that the US is primarily interested in middle eastern oil, and not actually spreading peace in the region.

Yeah, especially when the first amendment gets violated on the streets of America, today, as the journalists get beaten by the government goons in direct violation of free speech and freedom of the press.

doesn't ublock origin practically make it redundant

Who knows. I personally don't think Durov will give his libertarian views up to the Russian government like that.

This whole copyright case is a whole load of bollocks. Hope that Internet Archive will fend that off, because otherwise it would be a very tragic loss for the internet.

let's just say that they have spread beyond the state where this happened. and given that the police is getting ever more brutal, there is no reason for them to stop spreading either.

I think Roam's graph is flawed, but it's much better that Obsidian's, which you can't even zoom out of. Also Conaw experiments with some neat things like to-do lists that double as backlinks, Kanban boards, Pomodoro timer (ok that's overkill but it was added recently anyway). Daily note-taking is also pretty streamlined in Roam with new notes created every day that can be referred to in a neat fashion, and perhaps also allow for SRS.

Idk, Roam feels too familiar to me as well, so I doubt that I'll drop it anytime soon (we'll see how will I handle the future $15 price tag).

This got shared on their discord, but I s2g that it really is the case, given that I use a similar tool called Roam, which recently had such a big spike of attention (in part due to Thomas Frank's video on it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxOffM_tVHI) and somewhat popularized what Obsidian is kind of aiming for here (so much that Roam had to close registrations due to massive traffic influx). Plenty of ppl just swear by Roam at this point, including its creator who has big vision for a thing. Here is his white paper on a thing: https://roamresearch.com/#/app/help/page/Vu1MmjinS.

I can attest to that as well, and given that Roam is unavailable, would suggest to try out this alternative that is pretty decent for what it does (even though Conaw (Roam's creator) does think it doesn't exactly align with what Roam really seeks to do, yk the thing)

Edit: to elaborate, I am not raving about either Roam or Obsidian, I am raving about they approaches they provide, and after nearly a month of using Roam it honestly feels like a game changer to me. Solved my art block a bit as well.

It's not exactly Roam, but the thing looks promising still. I like that it is offline-first and Markdown based, really feels like the crew has got some ideas in what direction to lead this project to. The bi-directional links in themselves are quite a killer feature that makes many note-taking apps like Evernote feel obsolete.

So can I self-host this? The comparisons make no sense if I can't self-host the thing.

Indian review-bombs, but for the other reasons entirely. The dumb ones as well.

yeah, i think that is a good example. HN is really simplistic, yet it feels far from bloated. it just clicks

Design-wise it looks cluttered af even for a thing that is supposed to be intentionally light. How am I supposed to differentiate users in such setup? Looks like hell to me.

The idea is interesting, though, and I like that it's written in Rust as well.

Works fine for me. Sounds like automated filter kicking in, which is a double-edged sword, but in itself doesn't say anything abt Twitter's stance here.

Also, Twitter now is blocking an URL of a legitimate university promoting a trial with hydroxychloroquine.

What university? What sources do you have on that?

I just noticed that this is the same shit right wing organization that conveniently protects alt-right stuff when it gets banned from somewhere. Can we please not promote this kind of stuff here?

Edit: to back myself up.

Here is this website standing behind authoritarian right-wing government doing antisemitic dogwhistles: https://reclaimthenet.org/hungarian-government-facebook-over...

Here it is protecting conspiracy theorists against "censorship": https://reclaimthenet.org/youtube-demonetizes-sgtreport-trur...

Here it is covering the ban of a known right-wing troll (also piss drinker) Joey Salads: https://reclaimthenet.org/twitter-suspends-joey-salads/

Here it is supporting a fringe far-right social network Gab a bunch of times: https://reclaimthenet.org/gab-biggest-mastadon-node/ https://reclaimthenet.org/new-gab-decentralized-version/ https://reclaimthenet.org/gab-chat/ https://reclaimthenet.org/gab-pro-benefits/

It's just so much consistent support for basically fascists on this. Propping this website up is dangerous.

Do both.

Deezloader is quite a miracle in that regard btw. after so many years there still are the ways to illegally download music from the legal service and that is just... something.

Making Rust As Fast As It Can Go

I also just have to point out that Sweden, the country that didn't implement lockdown, has 6 times higher amount of COVID-19 cases than other Scandinavian countries when adjusted.
