One of my biggest issues is that the principles and ideas that come with the open source community are practically shutout by the use of discord. Information does not flow freely, it's locked in a server and it's not easily accessible by other people. It's not indexed by search engines. It might as well be missing completely. Half the time I plan to learn an open source project and learn that the majority of the discussion goes on in Discord, I already know that I'm going to have a horrible time finding answers when I need them so I just search for alternatives.
Good idea, and I suppose people wouldn't have a problem throwing yet another bot into their server. I'd imagine the data it's scraping to be IMMENSE considering Discord saves everything.
I'm a veteran of the US Air Force. There is not a single person I'd met that didn't advocate for the decriminalization of psychedelics and pot in the current and long lineage of veterans that I've met in my time. Why they title of the article is trying to frame it as if veteran's haven't been widely outspoken about this since the Vietnam war is beyond me.
> At first glance, former military personnel might seem unlikely champions for illegal, mind-altering drugs that many Americans associate with the countercultural peaceniks of the 1960s and 1970s. But veterans have become powerful emissaries for psychedelics across the political spectrum.
I am so happy this was finally released. This update fixed a few major memory leaks they were having in the last release. I love Inkscape but that was unbearable. There was a problem with the color droplet tool, simply moving it around increased your memory usage by folds. A smaller one that became annoying overtime was simply dragging objects around on the grid. The nightly build had that one fixed awhile back but my OS didn't seem to want to play ball with it so I just ended up having to deal with these issues, now I hopefully don't have to.
I'm sure that works for a certain demographic, but on the other hand for a lot of kids after a certain point the advice provided by the parent falls on deaf ears. They have to make mistakes and suffer the consequences of them before they ever truly learn from them. You're not dealing with a rational adult, for many of them I'm sure it's more or less "there goes mom, lecturing me again." and at this period in their lives they're just about to begin their ascent into puberty, one of the most transformative periods that involves a lot of rebellion and a lot of risky behavior. Kids need to see that there's consequences to their actions and if their parents can provide that in a controlled environment, I don't think its poor skills.
I think it's being ahead of the curve. Setting the expectation for not only what they might run into out there, but what to expect when they get home. If anything you should combine the two approaches.
