    Yeah it does a lot more than that too. It has contextual actions you can do, like getting Firefox and instead of Run you can search for a term right in the launcher and it will search Google or whatever you like as soon as it starts. So you don't have to open it, go to the search bar and then search. It can do the same for URLs and bookmarks. It will also manage music playlists and such, do operations on text files, choose what action you want to do for a file out of multiple possibilities...

    It's pretty powerful when you know how to use it.

    Yeah.

    I think more abstraction needs to be handled in the OS and software, not necessarily with the interface hardware. We need to think more about how we abstract and intuit things and make the software paradigm fit us better instead of making the hardware paradigm fit the apps.

    For example Compiz, or intelligent apps like Do.

    I don't like tablets. Not the way they're being used.

    A tablet is wonderful for a few things, like 1:1 manipulation of objects if you need to do that, or for drawing, gesture control, messing with pictures...

    Like for example on the Nintendo DS with the touch screen it is great for certain things like with Rune Factory where you have to manage a field of crops, it's more intuitive and easy to be able to touch them directly.

    However with something like The World Ends With You it is more of a gimmick where you have to attack by slashing and tapping the screen and stuff - things that are better done with a button because after a while you start to get fatigue pretty fast. In a case like that a pointing device is more precise and less strenuous. Similarly scrolling and editing and manipulating things on a more abstract level is better done with an abstracted device which minimizes your mechanical effort rather than increasing it.

    I just liked it a lot. It was a good OS. Nice interface, nice architecture, well built, light and quick.

    Well I imagine if you get it through git, it's a git package :P

    If there's two and one is on git and one isn't, and they're the same... I guess the difference is that one is a git package and one isn't.

    Yeah I think they just wanted to use Snowden as an excuse to get inside a non-mainstream and independent email service. I don't think their motivations had anything to do with Snowden. I think they wanted to flat out spy on people there.
    sprinkles
    It's because Snowden himself was using that service.

    He used it to invite some people to a press conference and the FBI found out it was him, and they were like "OK you gotta give up all your shit so we can look at it" and Lavabit said no.

    It's fine.

    I think lavabit did the right thing by shutting down instead of the alternative. I'm mad that the FBI had the nerve to push them to that point.

    Hahaha, yes! Let's. (:

    And that is a hilarious sleeping position. Kind of how I sleep when I am dead exhausted. lol
