Israeli Military Warns Al Jazeera Correspondent in Gaza to Leave Home or Die (www.democracynow.org)

Al Jazeera is condemning threats by the Israeli army against the family of its Gaza correspondent Youmna ElSayed. On Monday, ElSayed’s husband received a call from Israeli forces warning family members to immediately leave their home or be killed in a bombardment. The threat comes just days after an Israeli strike killed 12...

I think calling one way better than the other is flawed. The reason the title is saying that tabs are objectively better is because they are used in addition to where spaces are used elsewhere. You could make the same argument in favor spaces due to keeping things simpler.

The argument of having variable indent size for tabs so viewers can decide how big they are is imho legitimate but also not the goal as it’s addressing something that teams generally agree on. There is max characters per line, brace placement, general code style and rules. Yes we can eject the indentation from the rules that are agreed on but once again simplicity over complexity has an equal say.

In the end it doesn’t matter that much, a good programmer will be able to work in either setting, the Editor will do most of the work anyways.

With all that said, spaces all the way!

I wouldn’t compare the opportunity for android and google to be the same as with ios and apple. On apple devices you cannot opt out (this is what I heard). On android you will be able to most certainly (sooner or later).

I get your points although some of the examples given are not really comparable. What I am concerned with, is that with apple you have a network of millions of devices reporting to you. And that’s the issue, it was sold as “this is great, everyone helps each other, no need to be critical about privacy here”. These narratives are dangerous and we should stop and retreat if they blow up in our faces…

The creator of Pixelfed announced an upcoming encrypted messenger for the fediverse that will work across the fediverse (mastodon.social)

It will be open source, end to end encrypted using Signal’s double ratchet encryption protocol, and he plans to make it easy for fediverse platforms to integrate it. The beta will release later this month....

Chill, you’re not the only one here.

yeah, the app is made for you and him. So doing the math we have a -1 “VoIP is not something I’d care about” and a +1 “Video calling too is something I personally use…” which results in 0% significance. So let’s just talk, voice our opinions, and chill.

Clarification:

All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less.

I prefer neomutt with mbsync and notmuch. Mutt wizard can help you get setup. Pandoc is great for formatting, and any browser can be used to view html if lynx is not good enough.
