Maybe talk to Apple, whom have made it increasingly hard to theoretically impossible for our type of privacy preserving app to run on iOS. We aren't the first, and Brair has been around a bit longer and has run into the same problem.
As an even smaller team with less funding, we have so far decided it would be irresponsible to risk sinking a sizable portion of our limited funds into trying to port to iOS when it may be impossible.
But if you really want it, please, donate, we need iphones, macs, dev accounts and budget for the research and work!
Talking to Apple won't change the circumstance that I am alluding to, which is that most people willingly opt for closed, centrally censored platforms.
You can't solve this problem at the application layer.
Hackspaces are supposed to be safe spaces to do work, you aren't there for flirting/socialzing/picking-a-mate. There, like work, it is inappropriate to be trying to "seduce" someone. Try a bar.
To tell women that by being in public they have to accept endless random seduction attempts is a giant part of the problem.
Also gay guys usually don't just hit on everyone because at least they usually have the grace to know when it's appropriate and when it's not and also when it might be reciprocal (wanted) and when not.

Well, then I imagine hack spaces a bit differently. For me, anything I do in my free time isn't work, it's fun. Socializing. And a natural part of socializing is forming relationships. Friendships, romantic relationships, ... In any case, I'd consider it much preferable to try and meet a soulmate at a common hobby, rather than at a bar. Applies to everyone, not just women, of course.

That's quite a generalization, a pretty offensive at that. Obviously, straight guys are all scary and creepy, while gay guys are nice and tender and soft!
Mandatory promoted tweets for 3rd party clients maybe? I use a 3rd party android twitter client due to its superior UX compared to the official app, but I wouldn't mind getting served promoted tweets in that client at all.
I am not sure it would work because I don't believe plain ol' tweets work as an advertising mechanism.
Hence Twitter getting more and more creative with formats: app installs, cards, videos, and have you seen the new "send me spam" ads? http://i.imgur.com/h4H7RQw.png
They can do that, and they can also charge the app suppliers per customer if they don't show the ads. I'd willingly pay to have no ads, better functionality etc.
No they don't. They had $1.4 billion in revenue, so they must have to have profits lower than that. In fact they lost half a billion dollars last year.
"Many people seem to believe that SMI would be very dangerous if it were developed, but think that it’s either never going to happen or definitely very far off. This is sloppy, dangerous thinking."
Or as the above posts demonstrate maybe it's really well thought out
To be fair, Wayland seems similarly hopeful about shipping in Fedora 23, which is only 4 months before Ubuntu 16.04. Also, Canonical has a big incentive to ship Mir in 16.04, since it's a long term support release. If they don't make it, they'll be forced to support X for an extra 5 years.
I think both projects have equally "hopeful" (slim) chances of hitting their dates. If they do ship on time, I expect stability and features to suffer.
Wayland has been around, I think, at least 3 years before Mir's announcement, though. It's had plenty of time to evolve naturally without any fixed corporate goals necessitating them to act fast.
It's also worth noting that many of the changes required when switching out the display server (moving stuff out of X and into the kernel, adding features to drivers) was done while developing Wayland. Mir doesn't have to worry about this stuff, so they should be able to do it much quicker than the time it has taken Wayland to mature.
I cant seem to find a .deb + bleeding edge Gnome system anywhere. Ubuntu Gnome is what I use right now, but Fedora 22 is so good that it is making me jealous.
I would pay money to get a Debian based Gnome distro which is constantly updated. And now that is even more critical as Ubuntu goes off in Mir territory while the rest of the world go to Wayland.
I tried to get on the Debian bandwagon, but it is so unfriendly that it is not funny. I know it is built around a philosophy, but I seriously encourage everyone to try out Fedora 21 Workstation to really see what a great Linux experience can feel like.
