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

Re:Ask HN: Why do some timestamps on HN have a full stop at the end?

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.

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.

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.
