Re:YouTube-dl has received a DMCA takedown from RIAA on Saturday October 24, 2020 @01:49AM (#24877247)
Where can I clone the youtube-dl repo, err.. for educational purposes?
Re:FWD:Everyone on Thursday July 05, 2018 @03:03AM (#17461367)
So basically have Twitter expand its character limit and ask everyone to replace their emails with Twitter? How cool is that? :)
Re:SMS over IRC on Sunday July 01, 2018 @04:50AM (#17434731)
I'd replace the whole thing with Slack :)
Why does "his.app" cost $499.99 for pre-registration, but "her.app" only costs $249.99? :)

Is this some built-in gender bias?

Re:Elon Musk Wants to Put a Million People on Mars on Sunday October 02, 2016 @12:28AM (#12621036)
And while traveling Mars seems like an exciting engineering challenge, I can't imagine why would people want to leave the comfort of Earth to go to the red planet?

Going to Mars isn't like discovering America...

Re:LinkedIn password leak on Friday May 20, 2016 @12:29AM (#11735542)
And LinkedIn is now asking me to enter my phone number:

"Add an extra layer of security to your account. Add your phone number."
