Markdown is actually a markup language which was inspired and built based on traditional email formatting.
Additionally they'd have decent regular meals, presumably plenty of time to sleep, and time to work on schoolwork. Plus they probably don't need to work while in middleschool, highschool and college.
I'm not sure who you have been giving money to, but Gorhill notoriously does not accept donations as he does not want this project to have money be a goal what-so-ever and does not want to feel like he
needs
to work on ublock origin. That said he strongly encourages donating to the ublock origin lists as without them ubo would be nothing.

I see. However I disagree that they have a moral obligation to do something about it. You're setting up a bit of a false scenario. You said "if you don't believe we are a democracy, then I want to see your plan for turning us into one." That assumes those people all want some sort of change into a democracy and that it would be morally irresponsible for them to want something other than democracy, such as for example the status quo. Also not everyone thinks democracy is the proper end goal.
You're also assuming that because someone does not vote they are also not doing anything they believe will better their situation in regards to the government they live under. They very well may be doing _exactly_ what they think will help improve their governmental situation.
I do not need to have that opinion to understand that it exists. Personally I do vote and at least somewhat believe there is a democracy here in the states (especially compared to many other places currently in the world), but I urge you to try and understand why some may not be so convinced.
Probably a big part of it is lack of a good education. That combined with a few facts such as our usage of electronic voting machines having clear security exploits. These exploits are often found right after each election and the fact that the whole process isn't publicly audited is alone enough to raise suspicion. Even if they magically have never been exploited I'm sure many people believe the usage of gerrymandering, corporate campaign donations, lack of voting rights for the previously incarcerated, and the electoral college lead to a situation in which the realpolitik of America is different than what we're led to believe.
Again I personally do believe we have a somewhat real and fair democracy. However there is much that can be done to improve the legitimacy and the projected legitimacy. Yelling at people who choose not to vote is not a solution. My personal suggestions would be to switch to a direct voting system in which each person has an equal vote. Consider switching to approval voting to allow for a more accurate representation of the peoples wants and allow for 3rd (or 4th or 5th...) party candidates to have a more serious chance. Paper Ballots with a more auditable process.
You may not agree with my personal suggestions. That's not the point though. The point is that people choosing to not vote is not a problem that can be solved by being angry at said people. Instead we should find out their complaints and see if there is a way to make the validity of our democracy more obvious.
and for people whom do not care about democracy and or do not believe we are in a democracy then?
What's the reason for missing journaling file systems? Lack of developers? Design choice for code simplification? Security reasons? Or something else?
Nowadays you could simply check with git blame right?
I wonder if archive.org could actually store that much data.. and how long it would take to create a tar.xz of it.
Burn them, then update all your projects on GitHub to have nothing but a readme with a link to the video :p
Makes sense... Thanks. There should be a law...
Sorry if this is a stupid question, but do we know if this location was collected by the operating system of the mobile devices? Or was it being collected simply by data from carriers? Also since this was just an API vulnerability would I be correct to assume it's still being exploited by this companies customers?
That's certainly an option, but choosing which subreddits to replace leadership on is a very tricky task. You can't realistically say all subs and picking and choosing will cause riot if there's any possibility of political reasoning. The way I see it they'd need guidelines that are automatically enforced. Even then though some subreddits work quite well with extremely strict, almost echo chamber, levels of moderation. For example it would really be a shame if askscience or askhistorians were caught up in it even though they're very strict with what they allow.
I agree that it should stay public, but because giving the government the power to destroy information and erase history in any sense is a very slippery slope. That said in the above case the man in question would have served his time and be by all counts considered to have been rehabilitated. So it shouldn't be able to be used to discriminate against him. If for some reason he isn't rehabilitated that's a problem with the justice system.
It's pretty clearly key-logging and on top of that they've had poor security in the past which is not great when they're key-logging everything you type.
Personally I can't say I took the high ground though I just blocked swiftkey with a firewall and figure that's good enough for me.
Everyone's talking about switching emails, but realistically how difficult do you think it will be. Changing it for all the services you use and informing everyone? Or are you just planning on setting up forwarding for a while... (Asking because I'm trying to make the switch myself)
The main reason people have a hard time trusting them is because they aren't always completely honest with us... which isn't a great way to get trust from your citizens.
