They are including almost all the frameworks you would use as well. They weren't set up to take pull requests, and I suspect that they're only interested in bug fixes. So, not entirely genuine.

I work for a government, I just contribute to waste. Now I'm even more depressed.

I block ads because advertisers/networks don't respect the do not track flag. I don't want to block ads, but I value my right to privacy more than I value your right to monetize my eyeballs. If the ad companies played in good faith, then I wouldn't have to circumvent them.

I don't think it ever will be. I first installed redhat linux back in 95, and it was a multi weekend project, and I had to solder something. Since then, the installation has gone from insane to Windows XP easy, but it seems stuck there. And even for a media server, I have to dip into the shell to get it working. If you still have to use the shell 20 years later for a non edge case, it isn't going to get better, there is something about the architecture that is preventing it.

And I don't want an office suite, or movie recorder, or any of that crap. But I want the Gnome Terminal, or other pretty terminal where I have font smoothing or whatever that is called. I know I can do this with Arch, but I'm not a systems guy, I'm a developer, and I don't want to have to learn about all the systems crap. I just want a shell that is pleasant to look at, my fatigue is so much less when looking at pleasant non offensive colours.

"Do no evil" hasn't been followed for quite a while, but this is downright vile.

Just a smidgen. If you sign up, I would have 1 user. But it's safe.

Well, we really don't know any of that though. We know that spending money on experiences create lasting happiness for a statistically significant portion of the population which is a larger number of people than those that derive more lasting joy from spending on purchases. And even that is self reported.

My personal site is literally safer than google by google's own tool.

It's not about forcing, it's the arrogance that you inherently think somehow know better than the people that want to consume the service. People who think like that are the people who vote like that and suggest that I change my behavior because they don't think I'm capable of making the assessment on my own. Kinda like what you just did with my language.

You can have any opinion you want, but the moment you put it out there, someone else gets to have an opinion about your opinion. My opinion can be that your opinion is dangerous, and "bullshit".

We would do far better in society if we actually believed in our fellow man, rather than thinking we knew better than them.

> "and they think that this is what they want, but I honestly believe that nobody want to risk to fail in love for a nobody..."

Wow, that's a whole lot of bullshit right there. That kind of thinking is why we have religion and politics. Men thinking they know what is best for everyone else.

I use todo.txt for this. Works well across my devices. Besides, it's done by Gina Trappani (of ex-lifehacker) so supporting her is good too.

I love the idea, I've also been frustrated, and there has been chicken and egg problems which this may help with. That said, the quote:

> "And lastly, because we're fed up with having to install half-an-universe's worth of Ruby, Python and Perl to bootstrap our servers or run CI jobs"

If this takes off, some will use it some won't, and we'll be stuck installing a "half-an-universe's worth of Ruby, Python, Perl, and Shellfire scripts to bootstrap our servers or run CI jobs"

Although, I like the Mona Lisa example, I have to think that the point of ASCII art is to look like ASCII art because if it doesn't, then it's just a shitty picture. Cool POC tho.
