E questo è uno dei tantissimi motivi per cui non mangio animali.

Pazzesco...

A little WIP of the support for multiple colors in a single shape. Still a bit buggy, but it's getting there.

I hope #Element and #Matrix will succeed in all the things at which #Signal is failing, starting from usability, interoperability and decentralization.

Imagine if someone way dumber than you followed you around listening to everything you say

When the dumb person inevitably misunderstands you, you get punished

This situation is not imaginary and it's why intelligent people are flocking to LBRY

I have always been against the death penalty. I never asked who is the person about to be executed.

This madness must stop.

This is a turning point for human rights in Europe. There has been no death of prisoner on hunger strike since 1981; that's going to change in the next days (maybe hours).

The prisoner has just been demanding to be transferred back to a prison that has already spent many years of his sentence. His demand is legitimate according to law of Greece.

Always put a password on your bios! If you don't, Windows will be so kind to change your boot order at every startup so that Windows boots by default.

@yarmo To be honest every indie developer out there is also guilty of closed source code so let's not pretend it's only a big corp problem...

"Please tell me more about how corporations are better off keeping their software closed source and compiled with code obfuscation"

Developer singlehandedly solves some bugs causing the slow loading times that have been plaguing GTA V Online since 2013. Without access to source code. Game made by multimillion company.

We have nothing against project X but we will give safe passage to community members who abuse and spread FUD against project X, heck will even make them moderator for our community rooms.

Hypocrite much? 🤷‍♂️

Neoliberal state 101

The state has contracted a private company to manage a national road

1. If the profits from the toll charge do not reach a certain amount, the state has to pay the company the "loss"

2. If the road is out of order - e.g. due to a natural disaster - the company is responsible of fixing, and it has to pay a fine proportionate to the time the road was unavailable

Heavy snowfall: the state opts beforehand to block the access to the road. The 1st condition is triggered.

When Adam Smith used the term "free market", he actually meant a properly regulated market, not a totally deregulated one.
