Hey dudes. Don't @ women telling them to not speak about their experience with harassment.
It is, in fact, more harassment.
New analysis of Magellan probe data suggests a new model for tectonics on Venus. One that may have worked on Earth for our first 2bn years.

@terrana Speaking as an American it throws me off too. It just makes no sense at all.
Year, month, day, nice, simple easy to sort. YYYYMMDD. But I'm a computer geek. I also think Americans need to switch to metric.
@ChristianD @Dominos Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Uh oh someone sent me a box of masculinity again.
I'm having fun with the sequel, its more of the same, but in this case more of the same is good. At least for me.
as for the betrayal in the first, my only real objection was how blatantly it was telegraphed. On mission two or three I was thinking "when are these guys going to just betray him and get it over with?"
One thing I'm liking a lot from Dishonored 2 is that women exist in this game!
Dishonored had a few women, yes. A handful of nobles, a few maids, and the inevitable prostitutes.
But Dishonored 2 just has women, working, on the street talking, it's like wow, suddenly the developers remembered that 50% of the human species exists!
The Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is seriously worth a visit if you're in the Austin area.
@FishermansEnemy Or he sees it as a useful way to produce the illusion of distance between him and Trump, and to rally his supporters in Russia.
@coolstar @argumatronic @KitRedgrave Ah, yeah I don't do much wifi at home.

CWs aren't "censorship" or putting your toots behind some kinda wall, they're basically equivalent to lowering your voice so only the intended people can hear you in this crowded bar, as you talk about stuff that's potentially upsetting, TMI, or whatever.
People don't want CWs on "politics" (which really means "the news") because they're oversensitive and afraid of seeing the news, they read they news, they just don't want it to be a 24-hour punditry vortex in here.
it's amazing that this article is from 2003 (the onion, politics) Show more
RIP Cassini. You were a good robot and we'll miss your observations.
Yet another reason why I'm glad I use Kubuntu instead of the main Ubuntu branch: no constant dinking around with the UI and window manager. First Gnome, then Unity, now back to Gnome.
Make up your mind guys, constantly changing it pisses users off.
@Pollux So it is!

I'm curious, what did you have to do? I'm just wondering what you need that I don't. Cuz for my home use all I've ever done was let it automatically update.
@jerome EFF maybe?
