You can run Space Cadet pinball on Linux which can't be done on Windows, ironically.

An API?

Yeah @ravik and "How can you spot an Arch user?"
HTML is a programming language
Arrays start at 0
PHP is shit -
@CptFox That's what we are hoping. The amount of civilians getting actually deported back to a war zone is low.

@Andi Then you have to trust a VPS provider or an ISP.
You can get anonymous VPS and VPN services though if you really want. -
Ahhh a rant of a tweet of a Reddit post.
Might post this rant on Facebook. -
This is so fucking stupid. Mozilla need to apologise and fire the morons who keep coming up with these ideas.

@px06 Nah I have a password manager but it's annoying because this is one of the few passwords I have to remember.
Gonna take me ages to shake the muscle memory. -
@Torbuntu I don't believe it does because of the way shell expansion works. You are asking it to delete everything under root.
Might have changed since I last messed with it though. -

a) No game is worth it
b) I have LOADS of games that work great on Linux and it's more than enough for me -
Permissions on Android are in a good place right now. You can pick and choose, apps tend to ask only when they need them, and most apps run without full permissions.
When a camera app asks for phone access, it's a red flag. You used to have to dig around.

"Can we make it so people can view but not download the attachment in webmail?"
"Uuuuuh... Ok"
3 days later
"People are taking screenshots of the attachment"
One guy I know actually wrote a script that hooks up to an OCR API to quickly get the contents of the screenshots. Clever stuff.

If only there was a way he could download the PDF in the first place...
There's a lesson to be learned here somewhere. -
Meet the new boss.

I LOVE Apple's hardware innovation with the iPhone. They meld hardware and software like no-one else.
That said, android 4lyfe. Couldn't live without sideloading and an actual file manager.
