I don't use my real name on the internet anymore (in retrospect it's crazy everyone did that for a while to begin with.) If you want to collaborate you're welcome to post your email in a reply to one of my comments

I've worked for multiple startups and three large publicly traded tech companies. I am currently in the process of monetizing one of my side projects.

I'm technically homeless since I live out of a vehicle. I can more than afford rent I just don't feel like I get the appropriate value out of my money.

I have some unpopular views (some are extremely controversial.) When I post I sincerely mean what I say (sometimes I'll write bombastically because I understand how bizarre they sound in our neoliberal context and I kind of enjoy the surrealism of it.) I am here for good faith arguments, not just to poke at people. I for one still believe in the utility of the dialectic and public discourse although that seems to be a dying belief.

Email is nice.

>But I don't want so many mails in my inbox

Then write mail rules. It's really easy and personally I couldn't survive at work without them. That's a big part of why it's nice: You can choose how it works unlike practically everything else these days.

If you pay enough attention to metapolitics it will ruin most media going back as far as the 70s even.

Asimov himself was a communist and it shows in a lot of his work. I try to just ignore it.

As someone with a sailboat who sails just about every week (since I live on it and have to keep moving) I'm also having a pretty hard time understanding this one.

In high winds removing the mast should make it less prone to capsizing just like reefing would.

EDIT: Oh I see they're thinking it's the waves not the wind.

I can't imagine having bought one recently enough to have it still working. Those things are such garbage.

My main complaint is that on Firefox on Linux anyway they actually steal the mouse position along with keyboard focus. So if you're using something like instagram's IM it's really hard to type while getting replies.

Good riddance. As someone who still had third and even fourth places now I can focus on those.

Given some of the other scheme-like features GNUC has it's surprising they're lagging on this one.

I don't think you're interpreting those statistics correctly.

Most Americans can agree climate scientists think the climate change is man made while still thinking we don't have an effect on it.

Jailing old ladies for voicing criticisms online isn't a symptom of good government.
