Also, accepting donations and sponsorships opens you up to being sued for profitting from copyright infringement.

I use my own default CSS, so it's pretty nice to read for me. It's sad that most browsers have crappy default CSS.

It really shines in text-mode browsers, though.

Corn syrup represses the feeling of being full and is also extremely cheap to produce, it might actually make the applesauce cheaper to produce.

Is the distortion of public opinion by means of the now fairly mature fields of economics, politicology and psyops how things got so bad?

What can a person do to not feel powerless in the face of this?

Did people actually believe that this was ever about drugs and terrorism? Do people still?

Can someone help enlighten me? Are there books I should be reading? Could I even learn to understand why, or can I just strive to bear the weight of this pervasive madness?

I find it very hard to accept the existence and scale of these issues, to accept how insignificantly small I am compared to them. To accept I barely understand enough of them to know that they should be solved, and that solving them will be a long and painful process that I'll have little say in.

It's a very lonely and alienating experience to hold these views and opinions. I wish I knew how to express them better, so I could be understood and understand myself better.

In somewhat news: depression is ungood and our anchor is hitting the couch.

Get an anti-adblock killer list, it's great :)

I basically enable every list in uBlock. Suprisingly it almost never blocks too much, when I get blocked it's consequently for being on a VPN.

I guess it could still make sense for tech-heavy, "we rewrite 50% of our code every month"-companies, like... Google?

Maybe they're mostly running their cloud to iron out the kinks im the API's they use themselves?

And 2017 is the time of Windows XP and WannaCry.

What I'm saying is, those things are all still running in prod. I got an employer off Java 6 just two weeks ago. The next step is all the Java packages that were deprecated 5 years ago.

You could use Git-LFS for managing huge data blobs with Git?

I'm not sure, I only learned to manage services when I was already on Windows 7.

Fair enough, I got hung up on the lack of guarantees to distribute code alongside compiled applications.

Would you say compiled MIT programs are still "free software" when they don't come with the source code?
