My family doesn’t celebrate it (bc we never did growing up in the UK), nor do I begrudge anyone their freedom. Anyways, happy independence day y’all. If you need me I’ll be sipping tea in the middle of a wide open field wearing my ceremonial red coat.
From the notoriously flat structure of Valve to the support of free software to the extremely laissez faire way of running steam to the main Dota tournament being named “The International”… Is Gabe Newell a card carrying Anarchist?
Like many others, I created accounts on a few different instances to try things out. Using apps like Liftoff and Jerboa make it very convenient to switch between accounts, but I’ve noticed that I get different posts showing up when browsing All, even with the same sort settings....
Newbie here. Why does it say “Subscribe pending” when I request to join certain communities? And how long does it take to obtain approval?

Here’s the rules, anyone, anywhere in the world who has an expertise or is even good at something, or has some knowledge, you can take that expertise for yourself, but they do lose it in the process....
Don’t get me wrong, the average X-interface looks great. Some are absolutely stunning. But, in my opinion usability has gone down the toilet. Almost everything that should be a clear distinction is displayed in shades of the same color, including icons....
I can’t even imagine writing long form on a touch keyboard. But with a lot of people eschewing laptops/desktops for their mobile devices, it’s really just a matter of time....
Why wouldn’t they use the same dictionary?
Hi, I’m running a ubuntu based backup server. And was wondering if there’s a simple way to encrypt my drives in case they get swiped or something by a break in.
