This is an issue sometimes. It's not great when suddenly there's no sidewalk and you're walking alongside a busy road. That said, I don't think this is the main contributor. I think people are just in the habit of driving everywhere to the point where they won't walk 15 minutes from their house to a convenience store and will opt to drive instead, and this is in neighbourhoods with good sidewalks and no particularly busy roads. People just don't think about walking as a means to get anywhere and they'll frequently drive just a couple of blocks if they're going to visit somebody nearby too, in my experience anyway.

Poor man’s TOR :).

It’s not completely inconceivable that ISPs using CG-NAT could keep logs that would allow these users to be deanonymized, but it’s an extra step and they might not have enough information between the Reddit and ISP logs to do it. But… they’d have to be talking to the ISPs anyway, and the ISPs will probably cooperate?

“Maybe one of the smaller countries… like the Vatican! … Wait.”

So, would you be in favour of serving only vegetarian or vegan meals, then, which a larger portion of the population could eat?

There’s surprisingly few standalone email clients for normal people on desktop platforms as far as I know.

I mean… Couldn’t rounding be considered a technicality?

HAHA. I did the same thing in Canada with the national anthem for the same reason. Refused to stand for it or sing it. Some teachers would lose their SHIT. Like… grow up. I don’t want to sing the theme song, why care?

Do you get upset everytime you see it?

There’s a few programming languages that aren’t based around English, but they’re pretty rare and I’m not sure many people use them. It’s kind of sad because it makes programming much less accessible if you’re not an English speaker… But it’s also sort of a blessing because it’s easier to understand code you might have to interact with because it’s probably written in an English-ish language with the Roman alphabet, and you’re not stuck trying to read Japanese or Arabic or something to understand a library. I have mixed feelings on it. It’s convenient for me as an English speaker, but it also seems kind of unfortunate. I’ve heard that computer science is a field which is having a pretty big impact on the spread of English in the world, but I haven’t found a citation for that and I’m not sure I believe it.

This would be so fucking funny if it wasn’t so tragic.

What does it do on new hardware? Not a lot of people are running normal desktop Linux on phones / tablets, are they? Which, totally cool if it works better on those things… but I guess I’m just surprised by how much hype there is for Wayland when X just works for me and would presumably just work for most people’s use cases. Like… who are all of these people that are emotionally invested in display servers, and what am I missing?

I mean, 20 years ago or whatever there was always the pain of black screens and X configs… but it just kind of works now in my experience?
