Some Germans know that thing apparently (makes even less sense to me now): https://twitter.com/galfert/status/626368569597689857

 

This strange contraption raised a lot of questions for me: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/150729-1017-basketball-contraption.jpg

 

Thunderbird just deleting all of your inboxes without asking is a pretty radical way of getting to inbox zero.

 
 

Facebook: asking to EOL Flash. Only supports Flash for timeline videos.

 

New TV show Mr. Robot has this in the latest episode for about a second: https://storage.5apps.com/basti/public/shares/150723-1909-vlcsnap-2015-07-23-21h09m27s277.png -- 122 people in that Freenode chan now.

 

There's no argument against accepting it (can convert directly) when your CC fee is that high because you "want to discourage CC transactions".

 

Slightly ridiculous that the Chaos Camp of all events doesn't sell tickets in BTC. Two of my non-European friends had to pay 16 EUR card fee.

"The rich, diverse, free web that I loved — and spent years in an Iranian jail for — is dying.
Why is nobody stopping it?"

.@the_intercept is really killing it lately. Wanted to send some monetary love, but there's nothing published on the site on how to do that?

 
 

"Fucking nationalists!" *turns around and argues for turning the EU into a nation state*

 
 

Good question.

Good question.

Usually responded to with appeal-to-emotion non-arguments, telling you how it's somehow better to have more exceptions and continued inequality instead of less exceptions and equality for *everyone*, not just monogamous couples.

Pluto

NASA: "SNEAK PEEK of gorgeous Pluto! The dwarf planet has sent a love note back to Earth via our New Horizons spacecraft, which has traveled more than 9 years and 3+ billion miles. This is the last and most detailed image of Pluto sent to Earth before the moment of closest approach - 7:49 a.m. EDT today. This stunning image of the dwarf planet was captured from New Horizons at about 4 p.m. EDT on July 13, about 16 hours before the moment of closest approach. The spacecraft was 476,000 miles (766,000 kilometers) from the surface."
