Did you read the article?

"my neighbors spending most of their days driving to a job that I know pays them less than they need to feed their kids"

This doesn't sound like someone who has access to all luxuries in the world.

I'm not sure if it's a better choice for everyone. With mumble you'd need to maintain a server, for instance.

If your primary concern is open source then mumble/jabber is probably your solution

Google can't block elements on sites it does not control.

Warning users of phishing and warning users of speech that it finds objectionable are 2 different things entirely.

I much prefer written content to videos. I can read them on my phone on my walk to work, whilst listening to music, for example.

They recently deprecated their chat API (which used to be XMPP)
Unfortunately they might not be able to view this - as it might be viewed as "unsolicited design" - which they can't view due to company policy.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

Re:In praise of the mechanical keyboard on Tuesday April 07, 2015 @05:50AM (#9332832)
I got a basic cherry board, and the USB connection in the back broke after about a month's use. I take it with me with my laptop - which could explain the additional wear and tear, but I've not been doing anything other than typing and removing the cable when moving the laptop - I can't say I'm impressed with the life. (YMMV, of course)

Footnote 3: git prune deletes all objects that cannot be reached from a ref. If the user runs this command, they may lose content.

In what cases would a user lose content? When something is added but not committed only?
