Erdogan has full power over the islamisation of Europe. It remains to be seen if citizens of Europe will stand this for much longer. I think it's really frightening.

This will not end well for Europe. With the pussy governments we have here and Erdogan with complete power over the faucet of refugees, we are at a high risk of becoming Erdogan's bitch.

Either our governments do something, and fast, or the rise of fascism in Europe will only accelerate.

It says "rules: no swastikas", which is just an invitation for people to draw swastikas.

This reference is better than a swastika though. http://i.imgur.com/sFwteao.png

The player was worse than that of youtube, and the CDN was worse than that of youtube.

For a valid reason?

Very happy to see they've stopped using Channel 9.

Why is the Mini Paint icon the icon of the minigun from San Andreas?

>The patient is always right.

No he is not.

Punycode has been there for over 10 years and it's almost unused. If it hasn't been a success yet, it will arguably never be a success. It's not worth it to let it live, given the hazard that phishing poses.

I see you're Spanish, and so am I--how many times have you seen domains with accented letters? If I see one of those I automatically think I have to remove the accents before I type the URL in my browser.

Regarding countries that don't use latin letters, examples:

http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/RU

http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/CN

http://www.alexa.com/topsites/countries/DZ

Can't compare a kernel to an OS.

I see two issues: the mere existence of punycode (does any serious website use a punycode domain?) and the ability of any website to generate an ssl certificate for itself in a matter of minutes, making the "secure" part of the UI most users have been trained since forever to respect irrelevant.

From what I've seen Mastodon shows an anti-capitalist message in its home page. I'm not surprised it's a left-wing echo chamber comparable to what gab.ai is for the right-wing. I don't understand why would they limit themselves to that. Many of us see the value of open source but are not anti-capitalistic, Marxist, or liberal.

Edit: I made a mistake. I saw that message in this instance: https://oulipo.social/ (the one that was popular a few days ago for not allowing you to use the letter "e") and I believed that to be the default message for a Mastodon instance. Sorry for any confusion.

Then they aren't comparing Nintendo consoles to any other console of the same generation.

It probably is regional, yes, because I simply can't believe every time I write a comment like this here or somewhere else I'm told reddit works fine. It gets on my nerves every single time I visit at night. (Western Europe)

Pages take a long time to generate all day, but during peak hours they take a minimum of 4 seconds each (depends on what page you're loading, if it's got lots of comments, etc), and many times they simply timeout. The engineers at reddit have been unable thus far to fix it.

The entire reddit website goes down every night, especially during weekends, sport matches, etc, so there you have your answer.

Terms of service are not law.

When an end user breaks the terms of service of whatever system, most people would say that terms of service mean nothing. But since it's Uber, uuuuh, the scary terms of service!!!

I'd piss off on your founder's grave using my 14-year old account on freenode, but that would just get me k-lined.

Well, no. All your old opers left because money from donations keeps disappearing. Your new opers probably don't even know how to apply a k-line and rely on that supybot you have to administer the network. I'm safe.

I don't think it will sink to what it was when lilo still lived. I find it funny that article calls him "professional online beggar", because he was way worse than that. Not that the network was better handled after his disappearance though.

freenode is such a dumpster fire. Well, it's always been a dumpster fire, but since a ton of opers resigned because it wasn't clear what was happening with the donations, it's just getting worse and worse. Let's see what comes from this.

Yeah yeah. What I mean to say is that someone "creating" a new iphone from the parts of a dozen iphones is nothing new.

You can buy refurbished iPhones from AliExpress that more or less are the same: made from parts from several iPhones put together.

>The general public hates being tracked and having their privacy invaded. Just look at the political mess created when congress gave ISP's the right to sell user browsing data at the end of last month.

You gotta be kidding me. If that were the case nobody would ever use Facebook, or browse the web without an ad blocker and blocking 3rd party cookies. I also like privacy but we have to understand that nobody really cares about that. Maybe it's because they are not educated and don't know what the risks are, but whatever the reason, privacy is ignored by most people.

What's the truth? Most websites require you to fill a captcha, confirm your mobile number, or simply block you if you happen to use the service from a Tor exit. That's something you can check yourself, go to the big sites (Alexa top for example), and see it. Even Hacker News shows you a captcha if you register from Tor.

Do you believe those sites are in some kind of major plot to bother Tor users, or they simply are fed up with the abuse coming from Tor? Ockham's razor.

For what reason would a person want to use Tor instead of his regular connection?

And before you tell me Tor is nothing more than a privacy tool, remember that most sites ban Tor exits because the majority of users are troublemakers.

I know this opinion is not going to be popular, but here it goes: by running a Tor exit, you're letting anonymous people do whatever they want in your behalf, because the exit IP address relates their activities to you. I believe it's irresponsible to do so. This kind of stuff is going to happen.

I also don't believe the "an IP address doesn't identify a person" mantra that's so widely used in the privacy-aware circles. Your ISP gives you an IP address for yourself, and if you let others use it, you know you can get yourself in trouble, the same you'd get yourself in trouble if you let anybody who asked you use a rifle of yours, or a car. Would you let someone you don't know at all drive your car? What if he runs over someone? Would you be responsible of it for letting him use your car? Would you risk going to prison?

The alternative is worse: I could be looking at pedophilia or terrorism sites all day and if they catch me say "well I also run a Tor exit node so how do you prove it was me!". Your IP identifies you, so be responsible!

I don't understand. Mir is under the GPLv3, what stops anybody from using it any way they want? How was Canonical supposed to profit from it?

What made Wayland unsuitable to be used on mobiles?

>This, on the other hand, is an active choice. An active decision that women are our lessers. That's far more serious.

As long as holding that belief doesn't affect in any way his behaviour towards women as a contributor of that project, then his beliefs are none of the project's business.
