Re:Introducing a new HTML element – welcome <clippy> on Thursday June 13, 2019 @09:30AM (#20174633)

If I don't like something, I'm going to talk about it. The plusses, and the minuses. You can't have everything in life and that is the way I veiw everything (although that has little to do with these odd new html tags).

I love a regular serving of six cups of almost dark coffee. I can't stand real sweet foods as my sense of taste is overwhelmingly strong (yeah I have sensory issues, it's part of life for me).

Absolutely right, people need to get up off their asses (sorry) if they want coffee.

I agree with you there. It's an important service that was orginally created by the military (though I'm not sure which one).

I don't think this is a good idea.

Matrix really is an awesome clinet/service. Really glad this Matrix exists and allows for security and privacy.

I'm really excited for it. I also have my eyes on the Pine phone project.

Re:GrapheneOS – A privacy and security-focused mobile OS with Android ... on Monday June 10, 2019 @09:41PM (#20152447)

I need to try this, I also need to get a Librem 5, and build my project for it. Anyone know of any good projects for replacing google services with FOSS services that do the same basic things?

Re:Let's make them pay for using our personal data on Monday June 10, 2019 @10:24AM (#20146971)

Although the idea sounds nice, I think it's impractical. Large companies don't care about you, they care about profit...

Thay seems to be a problem nowadays, title text conflicting with article content... I wonder why? More views?

Re:Kill Instant Messaging on Sunday June 09, 2019 @09:45PM (#20143207)

You have a point there. Although it is good to at least reach out and speak to others once in a while.

I never have been big on planting, and didn't really know theee was an issue with companies holding large amounts of seeds...

I wish companies were responsible, open, and honest.

Re:Blender Is Free Software on Sunday June 09, 2019 @04:08PM (#20141572)

Blender is one of those projects that even people who aren't into FOSS have at least heard of. It's pretty nifty!

Re:GnuCash: Open-source double-entry accounting software on Thursday June 06, 2019 @11:26PM (#20121401)

I use GNU Cash all the time! It's simple and does what you tell it to :)

I wonder how this could affect other countries' IT infrastructure? Seems interesting, and needed.

Re:Microsoft’s ‘mixed reality’ headsets are a bit of a mixed bag on Tuesday August 29, 2017 @12:44AM (#15122128)

Isn't Microsoft jumbled anyways? In my opinion they're just wanting to get third hands in everything...

Re:Google Issuing Refunds to Advertisers Over Fake Traffic, Plans New ... on Sunday August 27, 2017 @01:32AM (#15109279)

You'd hope that Google would be better at such... Oh well, everything is compromised eventually.
