I for one often post again in the same thread, even when my reply is the latest, because I find a new post, or something else to reply to, knowing that my posts will be merged. It's much quicker than actually going into Edit and manually adding the quote etc. As you all know, the site throws the MERGED code in your post, which I always edit away, because I was aware that my posts would be merged.

Couldn't we have it something like this, and remove the adding of the MERGED text in the new post?

While I like this idea I still think we need to fix the issue of not getting notifications after someone double posts.
I agree. Sometimes there are good reasons to post again in a thread, and for watchers to be notified of this. Notifications are not sent for edits (understandably) so it might be important for watchers to know about newly added information.

    Linux is just awesome for a free open source alternative
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @lapot2, yeah something that Windows is better than Linux is that you don't have to compile every single software you download

  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @Xdqwerty, you'll have your own system someday I didn't even know what a performance boost was when I was your age
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    I don't believe that is the case
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv3, well I can tell my PC can be somewhat slow

  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    You just use the terminal to download things, I don't think you have to compile every download
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    If you just need to surf the Internet, then maybe so. But if you need to do some serious work, there are often no open or closed tools for Linux at all.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah Linux has its own store with most apps you need
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It's mostly github projects that require specific sh files for install
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and on Windows these tools are already ready, you take them and use them
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Every os has its place
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    yea either way Linux isn't for me lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Linux is also good for android devs and what not for obvious reasons
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    so for the near future Linux will remain a parody of a normal operating system with a bunch of compatibility issues and program availability

    I remember windows being near $150 whenever the smallest virus got installed and back then the average person didn't know about cracked files

    and also, no one writes open source software with good intentions.All this is done either for some task of the developer in the process of his work on his questions, or is used in other paid products that are capable of providing this development.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @lapot2, I feel like you over fear open source software it's not that spiteful
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    for this reason there will never be any serious open source software.money money money
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    without support from closed paid software - no open software would exist at all.And even GitHub requires material resources for its maintenance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Without open source software we wouldn't have all these android devices we'd be forced to stick with apple
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    How can you be afraid of something that doesn't exist?:D
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    So you think Android is open source? Go ahead and get into your phone to change the firmware.Or better yet, try replacing the faulty flash memory or processor in it. :D
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Flash memory is hardware based not software based
