And someone who is known to have an axe to grind against debian cannot be trusted not to stick malicious code in an update to a program debian accepts. In both cases, but for different reasons, maintenance is a problem.
So why not combine the two - have traditional folders and some rules that put email into the proper folder, with the option to apply searchable text tags (that's what labels are, after all) to group emails that are in different folders? It wouldn't have been all that hard...
The URLs for the links are also in shortened form, so you can't even tell what the article is about due to the URL.
So your complaining about having to click links to learn more?
No, he's complaining about link shortening / obfuscation. Anyone who's clicked on a shortened link and gotten rickrolled or goatse'd, as well as anyone who's been scammed by short links in emails claiming to be from your bank, has hopefully learned that url-shorteners == bad things can happen.
So? The stability of upstream contributors is a concern. If the troll gets his package into debian and then submits malicious patches, that's negligent behavior on debians part since they were aware the guy has an axe to grind with them.
Also, how's your ReiserFS doing? Would you trust updates from Hans Reiser? He's been ordered to pay $60 million dollars in compensation for murdering his wife - what better way to raise funds than to hold peoples data hostage?
Has nothing to do with that I personally like or don't like. This doofus has been spamming the Internet claiming he's being discriminated against because of his anti-feminist remarks, trying to ride the whole gamergate mess, when in fact even the link he supplies says otherwise:
This is code by someone who routinely trolls Debian. I doubt we want
any more poisonous upstreams in Debian, so I at least would prefer this
never get packaged.
He's a troll. Trolls try to provoke emotional responses in their targets by claiming it's because of his "anti-feminist remarks" rather than offering up at least some proof is trolling.
Also, I did not call him scuzzy - I called his actions in trying to hide behind gamergate scuzzy. There's a difference, you know. Here, let me refresh your memory:
Trying to hide behind the "cause celebre du jour" is pretty scuzzy.
Also, you might recall how quickly every distro switched from ReiserFS when Hans Reiser admitted to murdering his wife. Sometimes the quality of the code isn't the only consideration.
No, it was because you have a history of trolling debian:

So, cosmic rays bit-flipping are prior art of how natural processes can do the same thing. The universe really is one big computer and we're stuck in it!!!
Hey try out this weird new trick that no one wants you to know about to lose weight! Cocaine!
Rob Ford (former mayor of Toronto) already proved it doesn't work. He kept getting the munchies and being videoed drunk in Burger King eating and swearing at everyone.
So? That doesn't make it "almost entirely about data collection". And no, they didn't have to do any data collection to order desegregation of the schools. It was a court case - "Brown v. Board of Education" in 1954 - that did it, and the 1955 ruling in "Brown II" that required the lower courts to require desegregation "with all deliberate speed" - an affirmative action in the true meaning of the word.
What is normal? I honestly don't have a definition of normal.
Try your 19th-century dictionary, since you won't accept modern sources. Strange how you can't find your dictionary all of a sudden and have to come up with such a lame counterpoint.
The final fact is that your 19th-century dictionary definition won't stand up in a 21st-century courtroom.
The laws have changed, and treating a m2f transsexual in their former gender (by using their former name, by referring to them using male pronouns, etc) is illegal.
I don't know where you live, but her continuing to do so once you're aware of the situation is considered both a violation of our civil rights (discrimination based on sex) and criminal harassment.
Telling the court "but they can't give birth so they're not women" won't cut it when the courts consider m2f transsexuals to be female by law. Now if you're ever in the area and want to try it, I'll be happy to make an example out of you, the same as I did to the property developer, because I believe in paying it forward as a thank-you for all the women who made my life possible.
If this sounds a bit militant, well, maybe it's about time that people who don't respect others legal status and civil rights get some push-back and bad publicity. And it's posts like yours that make burgerbecky's act of posting the story here not just interesting because of the "old-skool tech", but also an act of courage knowing that there would be people who refuse to respect both her legal status and her civil rights, and will attack her based on who they think she was, and not who she is or really was.
So welcome to the 21st century. Now, if you don't like the laws, you can lobby to get them changed (good luck with that - even Putin isn't having luck wrt getting rid of the LGBTtQetc), or post a story about how your time machine will let you go back in time to a more intolerant era.
Considering that we have both the law and public opinion on our side, the time machine is probably the only viable solution short of seeing a psychiatrist to ask why you can't adapt to change and also help you to understand that your belief that animals are consenting to bestiality is just wrong on so many levels, as well as being illegal.
Me: It's not just the LGBTt who denounce bestiality. Where's the informed consent of the animal? Your comparison is ludicrous.
You: There was a BBC documentary about it a while back. I believe the consent (to them) came from the animals showing signs of enjoyment that they normally showed during sex with their own species. That and I think if the larger animals didn't want to participate, they certainly have the power to refuse.
So if a muscular 12-year-old girl is lured into having sex with her teacher (someone in a position of authority, same as a human wrt an animal) and she actually enjoys it (in part because she's thinking that by following her teacher she's doing the right thing) that's okay because she "showed signs of enjoyment"? And that she should have run away instead because "she was certainly capable"?
These excuses have been used by paedophiles in court. They don't work because there was effectively no consent. That you don't see a problem with this is disturbing.

Not true. You could create rules that would automatically move sent email to different folders, depending on who the intended recipient was.
So why not combine the two - have traditional folders and some rules that put email into the proper folder, with the option to apply searchable text tags (that's what labels are, after all) to group emails that are in different folders? It wouldn't have been all that hard ...
So is bugzilla, but I don't want to use it for organizing my email.

You're probably right. So, will users have to get a new email address, or be able to continue to use user@gmail.com?
Ultimately, our users will decide.
We now have a new policy at Google!!!

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
Stupidity, according to google, can now be measured as a 64-bit value.
This seems like a way to sell extra toppings for an up-charge.
How is that not a feature? (assuming Pizza Hut's point of view of course)
Just copying McDonalds "do you want fries with that" suggestive selling.
For the same reason that your smartfridge will keep ordering eggplant when you hate eggplant and throw it out immediately.
"High turnover of eggplant == must be your favorite"
And why your voice-activated blu-ray player won't let you watch all of Top Gun - "Eject Eject! Eject!" Click. Bzzzt.
I noticed an article by Bennett on the front page, and decided it was time to stop reading him. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Again, two bits were flipped.

It's called "sucking up."
Good journalism is like good code - cutting out the flab (or stuff that doesn't contribute much to the story) is a good thing.
Google does make their money from selling ads and services to others after all.
Sales tax at the point (country) of purchase. Problem solved.
