Welp tptacek has never seen anything like this so it must be made up!

Obviously tptacek is smarter than the entire NSA. You heard it on HN folks! Nothing to worry about.

Did you ever think that maybe the majority of the Linux community knows better than you?

I think it's just a vocal minority.

It's hard to say that "closed source" even has a community, so of course it's easy to point out assholes in the open source community.

I find (about half the time) submitting an issue on just about any github project run by "professionals" is a good way to be met with hostile behavior. It makes me wonder if the same things happen behind closed doors at places like google, Apple, MS, etc. I read a report a few months back about how the general atmosphere at google was one of pretentious content for fellow employees.

Maybe the tech community needs to get off its high-horse as a whole, including Lennart, who isn't 100% not-guilty of ever being "rude".

What tech related ecosystem has a "friendly" community?

It won't be tolerable until we weed out anyone who might say anything that anyone finds slightly offensive. No jokes allowed.

You think laws made to help people get up from the bottom tier should apply to everyone on the bottom tier and not just people of a certain color? Well you're racist.

Your favorite movie is blazing saddles? Well guess what: you're a racist.

/s

I think everyone should be able to use the same water fountain and no one should be able to cut in line solely based on the color of their skin, but on their level of thirstyness.

According to a lot of people on reddit (and HN) I'm a racist. I thought racism was discriminating against someone based on skin color.

Have these programs been responsible for actually stopping any large scale terrorist attacks?

Is Fedora 21 Alpha my best choice for trying this out?

But will the galaxy S4 bend in your pocket and still be bent when you take it out?

>This is a problem with any object of similar proportions and rigidity when sufficient pressure is applied.

Well they need to change their design then. It's a design flaw.

>SquareTrade found that the iPhone 6 holds up impressively well in drops, spills and slips

But surprisingly they didn't test bends.

Horrible idea.

If you tried to unify them you would have one bloated piece of crap or a desktop 90% of people hate.

I like having the choice between a few good DEs. What I don't understand is why Apple or Microsoft have yet to create a DE that is really better than something from the open source community. Sure each desktop is better at somethings than others, but it's hard to say that the ones that are being developed for proprietary OS's are objectively better than their open source counter-parts. You would think putting all your eggs in one basket would allow you to create a "super OS". Guess not.

Well I know I can't be the only person who had to look this up:

>Teetotalism refers to either the practice of, or the promotion of, complete personal abstinence from alcoholic beverages.

I mean, I kind of inferred, but this is my first time hearing the term.

Anyway, I only drink on special occasion or when I go out to a fancy restaurant. Other than that it's copious amounts of marijuana.

Except it's not open source. If it's not open source then you have no idea what's going on beyond what Apple tells you.

Ask your self:

Would Snowden use this phone? Your answer to this question is the same as the answer to the question "Is this phone secure?"

I guess I'll get downvoted for this sense it goes against the Apple circlejerk, but this issue is more important to me than magic internet points.

Could you expand or provide a link?

But how much did the iphone 4 cost? If you pay $800 over 8 years thats $100 dollars a year. This thing only costs $100 every two years.
