Threat is a communicated intent to inflict harm or loss on another person. The author of the article seems to confuse a conspiracy with a threat.

After reddit started banning people for upvoting the wrong things, this is a logical next step. Contrary to the popular belief, slippery slope isn't a logical fallacy.

Anonymity is the only way to combat this. Make sure your online identity isn't connected to your real name. Ideally, you should have separate identities for each website. Using Tor or a VPN is also a good idea.

I think it's interesting that so many things in elementary OS are written in Vala. They are probably the biggest user of the language.

For example:

Calculator: https://github.com/elementary/calculator

Calendar: https://github.com/elementary/calendar

E-mail client: https://github.com/elementary/mail

File manager: https://github.com/elementary/files

Image viewer: https://github.com/elementary/photos

Music Player: https://github.com/elementary/music

Terminal: https://github.com/elementary/terminal

Window manager: https://github.com/elementary/gala

I don't know how much would it normally cost, but the EU is spending 145 billion EUR to kick-start it: https://www.eetimes.eu/eu-signs-e145bn-declaration-to-develo...

Yeah, it's basically "world ends: women most affected"

That's unlikely, reddit is down all the time. They definitely have the worst uptime of all the major websites.

Wow, that's a feature that I've been really missing since I switched to Firefox from Opera.

>There’s no part of me that finds it easy to believe that a female, minority worker in tech is going to get the same opportunities as a white male anywhere in Europe.

I agree, she's a woman, she will definitely get much more opportunities than a man. The potential employers will bend over backwards to fill their diversity quotas.

If we're talking about native (i.e. not using Cygwin or MSYS) shells, I believe Hamilton C Shell is the closest thing: https://hamiltonlabs.com/Cshell.htm

It has some drawbacks, though, most notably lack of Unicode support.

>We know from decades of research that more diverse teams are more successful. I like success.

That's a very strong claim. What research?

>The teams I’ve liked the most have been the most diverse; the teams I’ve felt the most uncomfortable on are the ones where everyone looks like me.

Not surprisingly, for the author, "diversity" is only about how people look like. He also seems to suffer from self-hatred.

>1. Going to your own link, Newsweek did not call "GME investors "far-right extremists"". The article clearly states that far-right extremists were instead using the "stick-it-to-the-man" ethos driving a lot of the GME investor chatter to recruit. There is a huge difference.

The point of the article is to associate WSB with far-right extremists. It's a common manipulation tactic, they're making them seem guilty by association.

>As other's have pointed out, WaPo published an Op Ed, this was not something under their Editorial Board or a news article. Saying "The Washington Post is comparing the situation to the Capitol riots" is deliberately misleading.

People often say that "op-eds don't represent the official opinion of the paper", but it's provably false.

There's no shortage of people who are willing to write pro-Trump op-eds, after all, almost half of the country voted for him. How come they aren't getting published in NYT, WaPo etc.? Because publishing an op-ed is a soft endorsement. It doesn't necessarily mean that they 100% agree with it, but it definitely means that they consider the opinion "acceptable".

Slippery slope isn't a logical fallacy. It's often being incorrectly used, usually as a result of the continuum fallacy, but it isn't a fallacy in and of itself.

It's a well known fact that GnuPG maintainers are incompetent. My favorite example: https://dev.gnupg.org/T4592?utm_source=cryptography-dispatch...

tl;dr one of the main GnuPG developers doesn't understand how SQLite works and because of that he's going to reimplement it.
