@gameragodzilla I have a nagging suspicion that there is a not insignificant percentage of male feminists that act like that to get laid.
Alternatively some kind of sick logic of "in return for me supporting your viewpoints you owe me sex".
-
Column in the paper laments that apparently in the modern age of the hashtag media no longer follow the rule that to cover rape/assault there needs to be a complaint/accusation filed with the police. That's actually a surprisingly sensible rule for the media to have.

@maiyannah @bob So Twitter is doing the "you have no right to political speech on our platform" thing. I hope they'll be hit with the "you have no right to expect users on your platform" thing in return.
-
@purplehippo That's a really sturdy Opposite line.
-
@maiyannah @katiekats @augustus Eh, I'm not sure what a sensory processing and consequently social interaction disorder has to do with transtrenders.
-
@purplehippo You two make a lovely couple on HLA though.
-
@purplehippo @moonman Cats and anime boobs are in the wrong order IMHO.
-
@camoceltic I think you're being optimistic. This stuff is going to be the target of every sophisticated burgler in SF. Think about it, the only people who buy this kind of thing have a lot of money and little understanding of security. It may not even be necessary to hack the camera, chances are other security measures are just as crappy.
-
@maiyannah @bob It makes me wonder why the industry doesn't simply create a secure mechanism for payment and authorization that's non-repudiable. E.g. my bank debit card works with a (presumably uncopyable) chip and PIN, both are required to create a valid signature through a small helper device (thing reads color codes from screen and gives you a number to type back in). There's very little risk involved for the retailers as once they've been given the sign by my bank that I've paid they know my bank will hand out the money.

@maiyannah Depends. Do they have to meet the same standards of education as regular schools?
I don't mind schools that teach different religions but I don't like it when schools get away with producing students without the necessary education for further education because "we're special". That's mainly a criticism at new kinds of "let the kids do whatever they like" education, but I'm not fond of schools chickening out of teaching stuff like evolution either. By all means teach your own view and say evolution is wrong because this and that, but do teach children how the theory works.

@maiyannah I for one welcome our new Porntheon overlords.
-
@msh @maiyannah @bob I suspect BSD based mobile OSes would be a repeat of the unix wars. Android already has a major fragmentation problem and that's with GPL _and_ Google reining in the vendors through their proprietary-but-effectively-mandatory play services.
-
@bob @maiyannah @msh I believe it's called iOS (Darwin, the iOS kernel descents from BSD).
-
@maiyannah I would say it lacks elves and dwarfs but there are probably already much weirder things walking around there.
-
@bob @maiyannah I suspect that if sufficiently attractive software is licensed under GPL3 that dislike would be overcome. But GPL3 doesn't really have critical components, most of the core-ish stuff with that license is I believe the GNU userland and for many companies full GNU userland is too bloated anyway for embedded development.
-
@bob @maiyannah @msh IIRC NetBSD boasts pretty broad hardware support IIRC.
-
@maiyannah Yeah, it does seem to be a bit faster.
-
@maiyannah Hmm, I'm using Lightning which I think is webkit. I'll take a look at IceCat, maybe Gecko is better with this.
-
Mobile perf is still shite though.
