Cheers for this. I'm old and that's why I thought it was BBCode. Markup is such a loose term that I couldn't figure out what the problem was. You've put it to rest now though, I get it, whew.
The side of your case that has the motherboard's backplate (where you plug everything in) is the bottom. On the vast majority of towers, the plate is on the right side, meaning left is up.
EDIT: right/left when looking at the front of the case.
Speaking out against something is battling it, battle is a verb in this context. Both Oxford and Webster agree [0,1].
Forceful suppression of pseudoscience can be achieved through law and education, see the Scopes Trial [2]. This is another with thousands of examples, from women's right to vote, to smoking cigarettes.
I have to disagree. Many people are trying to suppress pseudoscience; not because we fear it is true, but because disinformation is harmful to society as a whole. For example, anti-vaxers degrading herd immunity, or astrologists conning vulnerable people out of their savings, or a climate change denier dismantling the EPA... there are far too many examples to list!
Each facet of nonsense you've mentioned is being battled by one group of skeptics or another. Off the top of my head, there's the work of James Randi, Richard Dawkins, Brian Dunning, and Steven Novella. Those people aren't fighting ideas they're afraid are true, they fear the harmful outcome of misplaced beliefs.
If people weren't battling pseudoscience, you'd see a lot more of it in your day-to-day life, and society as a whole would be much worse off. That's not speculation, it's a solid fact.
Just a guess, but it's probably because PS and GIMP are huge projects with years of work put into them -by teams of people. This is one guy. Not saying I don't welcome some competition in this area, but there are already tons of PS clones, all with their own niche.
Put it in the context of operating systems, and the guy was saying "This is the next Windows." That would be laughable.
Again though, good for him, fight the giants. But, he's got to expect some eye-rolls and giggles when making such lofty claims.
It's not a straight face, it's a smirk, and they'll keep saying it so long as it bothers you. They'll happily eat dog shit if the opposition has to smell their breath.
This is how populism works, and it's only going to get worse.
Arriving on the page, I'm prompted to run 11, no... 13 scripts. After allowing everything from BBC and reloading, the page is still borked and I'm prompted to run 34 scripts.
All of these third-parties surely have nothing but the best of intentions when executing code in my browser, but I'd still appreciate a simplified alternative for viewing the content.

Reading your comment caused me to log in to my security server and make sure I'm not nuts about the ease of viewing Motion feeds. Viewing its feeds in a browser is simple, from anywhere on the network. I'm curious what problems you had.
On a similar note, I stuck with plain-old Motion because of its super-low overhead. GUI aside, is Motioneye much of an upgrade? How does its resource footprint compare to Motion's?
Easiest way to find the RSS feed on most sites is to search for "RSS" in the page source; there's usually just one instance, and it's a direct link.
These days, many sites don't advertise their feeds, but it's still in the source (and is often broken in one way or another). If it is botched, a friendly email to their web admin with a link to the W3C Feed Validator [1] can go a long way; most times it's an easy fix for them.
Thanks. You're correct and I overplayed it. It's clear that he's quoting the author, but racial tensions and identity politics have me running in paranoid mode these days.
Forgot that this is Hacker News and not Tumblr; I don't even know where they keep the pitchforks and torches around here.
My VPS, in Iceland, had a racist hostname on one of their servers; they had no idea and were quite embarrassed. Just wanted to be sure you weren't in the same boat, because the slur isn't exactly obvious.
Apologies for wrongfully flagging your comment. I wanted to hide it, in case you didn't know the context and were signed out for the day. I'm with you 100% on whitewashing and censorship, even though that seems to be exactly what I was doing.
Cheers for the friendly response. I'm going to have to check out that book.
Yikes, one of those categories is not like the others. Seeing that you're an Aussie, you might not be aware, but folks in the US will instantly spot a nasty racial slur in your list.
Because your personal and professional info is associated with this account, you should probably edit the end off the bible-slinging line.
Google wasn't always there, and even after it became popular, some time passed before the name was used as a verb.
Personally, I Ask Jeeves to Lycos it.
