I started out with a Knoppix live-CD back in 2002. Remember that distro?

Thats what got me to start dual-booting and eventually nuke my Win XP install entirely.

It’s been all penguins ever since.

Discord works great on Linux nowadays.

And has done so for quite some time.

You don’t have to tell the truth.

Making it exactly like any other dating app.

Most that I’ve found have been on the ground near bus stops.

I’ve been a teenage boy before and I did some bone-headed things

Same.

I would be surprised if anyone with the same history didnt do at least a few completely boneheaded things at one point in their youth.

Then once you have crypto in a wallet on peertube, it has to be deposited into the CEX - that is if the CEX has that particular cryptocurrency. Should it not, then a DEX is required, which means more steps.

That’s one of the pain points with Odysee.

The crypto that they pay out with is not directly able to be converted to fiat . You have to go through an intermediary crypto coin first, then convert to something you can buy food with.

what’s the alternative scenario here?

Parents could not upload pictures of their kids everywhere in a vain attempt to attract attention to themselves?

That would be good.

If they do, that means they don’t take design seriously

The diploma mill MBAs that run the place don’t know (or care) what good design is.

They only know how to look at business costs as “cutting into our profit”.

Though now I realize you actually have to get referred by one of the other members in order to start posting

That is done with the intention of keeping the quality of content high.

I doubt they want to get flooded with low effort “let’s play” gamers or even lower effort AI voiceover stock footage crap.

Updates forced at inconvenient (or inapropriate) times aren’t a good thing though.

Don’t interrupt my work right bloody now.

You can update later when I’m done doing what I’m in the middle of.

need to understand it’s a private company and they can do whatever they want,

That’s the crux of it.

It’s their platform and they can make the rules for what they want (and don’t want) on their platform.

If they want it to be a porn-free gaming platform, that’s their right.

If they say “you want porn, go to a porn platform”, that’s their right.

The reasons for those decisions could be many things, and probably are a combination of things. It doesn’t have to be “they’re just a bunch of nanny state prudes”…

It seems the doctor dropped the ball on this one, from the context in the article.

But the incident happened at the lounge at the hotel she was staying at, not during an activity organized by (or even at) the conference. I’m not entirely sure how it’s the fault of the conference (as the article summary seem to imply).

They only do that because there is an audience there.

If we demand they use better methods of notifying the ublic, that draw for viewers/readers won’t be there either.

It amazes me how much effort people will go to in order to experience the shitshow that TwitXter is.

Just avoid entirely.

The sooner it dies the better society will be

What about after the 10th time it happens?

Or the hundredth time?

Probably the “fail fast” design mentality

Yes to both questions.

Correct. It’s specifically prohibited on my company’s devices.

We are required to use the company provided Teams for instant messaging.

Traditional non-smart bulbs also work locally, and for a lot less money.

Nor has he repented.

That’s the important point for me.

People can change after 20 years. But he prefers to double-down instead.
