This is a standard strawman. OP was _not_ suggesting that obese/trans people don't deserve to live.

Ooof. Micro-transactions in F1 2021, then.
Yeah, this one does. Some others on the frontpage don't. Interesting.

If I were to hazard a guess -- it looks like a templating bug. Some template has a period in it.

Try mbsync or OfflineIMAP. Both great tools to sync a remote mailbox to local.

I find it ironic that the author supports "cancel culture", and also proceeds to write this:

> One the call, I was surprised to find myself facing four people. The previous call had been with just one, and suddenly being so greatly outnumbered made me feel very intimidated.

Isn't this basically what cancel culture is too? To some extent, anyway.

We've been using Slite for a while; it's pretty great.
Woah. That's a huge generalization. Why do you think all Indian youth have no prospects?
Wonder if this runs on Sailfish OS? That'll be ideal for me, as I'm looking to switch to SFOS on my phone fulltime.

I think that is for the better.

> My issue with federation is that so far, everything still requires some centralisation. Take Matrix for instance. The most popular homeserver by a long, long shot is the one that the Matrix foundation runs themselves. This is same for Mastadon, PeerTube, etc. If you let this experiment play out long enough, you end up with a de facto centralised system.

Yeah this was Gagron's fault. Running a flagship instance was bound to result in this. I make it a point to educate people about not joining mastodon.social and finding another instance that better suits their interests.

It's a terribly overused YouTube/Twitter meme.

This is beyond dumb. Americans always assume the world revolves around them and their politics.
What's with the HUGE Discord link (with an image, no less)?

You clearly don't understand Linux Sucks.
Arch is far from minimal. It literally ships systemd, and all kernel options enabled. Not to mention glibc, and a shitton of other crap...
Possibly. If they don't rely on glibc, since KISS uses musl. Besides, why would you? They go against the fundamentals KISS.

6.7 is just around the corner (19th May!) and I can't wait.
I mean, I can't see this lasting longer than a year until Google decides to break something on their end. And for the love of God, stop using Electron.

These are the kind of people who downvote if they disagree with an opinion / view. Don't be them.
