Does diaspora has a future as a social networking site for tech enthusiasts?
It is often touted as a privacy-friendly social networking site which is less constrained and decentralized than say FB, Twitter and Google Plus.
Has anyone tried it? How is the user-experience compared to Reddit?

I'm the CEO of an indie game development company, saved from bankruptcy by Reddit. AMA!
My short bio:
Ever heard of the phrase: "Sometimes life is stranger than fiction?". Well, I've heard it and I've experienced it. At the brink of bankruptcy I made a post to r/iAMA to tell of my experiences. The post soared to the front page and while the game sold the best it ever had, there was something far more astonishing that happened. I was contacted by CEO's with million exits. I was contacted by talented marketing professionals, even from the movie industry. They were Redditors, and they wanted to help. None of them asked anything in return, it was overwhelming.
With their help we turned our business around, we are still here! We created a new Kickstarter to bring our game Battlestation: Harbinger on Steam, and immediately succeeded for the first time, raising $8000 on top of our $10 000 goal.
It all feels really surreal, to think we were so lucky at our darkest moment. It has been an amazing ride. Today we release Battlestation: Harbinger on PC, our very first PC game. We were gamers, we dreamed of being game developers. Thanks to Reddit now we are. To fellow game developers and to anybody else, I want to share our journey and everything I have learned from these professionals with you. Ask me anything!

Liferea: An RSS reader for Linux
This is a review for Liferea, an RSS feeder application for Linux available in many repos, including Mint, Ubuntu, Debian, and OpenSUSE. Liferea is a FOSS program available on Github. Installation notes should be reviewed here. It is built for GNU/Linux and Unix like operating systems.
Liferea is an RSS feeder with a layout similar to Mozilla Thunderbird. Folders contain feeds which contain entries.
Liferea ups the game by adding two special classes of folders.
- Search Folders present every entry which matches certain search terms. This would be useful if, for example, you wanted to read every feed with the word "Linux" in it first
- News Bins. News bins are receptacles for entries you wish to retain permanently. For example, if you subscribe to free music feeds, you can retain entries for music you like.
Liferea offers a tremendous amount of control over when feeds are checked, downloaded, and deleted. Liferea will even let you decide if attached content, such as music tracks, are automatically downloaded or if they are left on the web to be streamed when desired.
Liferea is capable of rendering feed content particularly well. I found that basic javascript elements worked fine. Slashdot comments loaded correctly. Liferea was able to stream most audio content and video content could be shown by using the internal browser. If serious problems arise, there is a built-in feature to launch the feed entry in your operating system's default web browser.
Liferea supports importing and exporting feed lists (.opml files) out of the box. Liferea does not support cross computer syncing, although I imagine you could rsync the contents of ~/.local/share/liferea and ~/.config/liferea if you desired.
If you want to syncronize your feed lists across multiple devices, Liferea supports integration with TinyTinyRSS and theoldreader.
Liferea supports adding feeds directly from Firefox, although the "support" is kind of clunky. Read the readme on Github for more details. I would recommend using TinyRSS or theoldreader to manage adding and removing RSS feeds.
Liferea's biggest shortcoming is the lack of a way to track progress through individual podcast tracks. To me, this makes it less than ideal for podcasting.
In conclusion, I rate Liferea a 9/10 for speed, accuracy, and tools to read RSS feeds on a local client. I would have liked to have seen a way to integrate across computers, better support for ripping videos from feed entries, and progress tracking for audio files, but what Liferea brings to the table is more than sufficient for most users.

I use Google Picasa mainly for the Face Movies. It relies on face recognition and creates a "movie" that shows up to 30fps of pics in a row. It puts the eyes all in the same place & is great to show kids progressing in age. Are there any other programs that can do this?
Random example of Face Movie. The resolution can be much higher.
Picasa is getting phased out by Google.
I have tried Lightroom just for the face recognition but it is really poor.

Improving coding and creativity using microdosing methods with Lysergic acid diethylamide
Hello we are are small group of Rails coders who will be starting a trial tomorrow to investigate the potential of increasing coding creativity by microdosing with Lysergic acid diethylamide. I look forward to reporting back our findings in the coming weeks, I hope there is some interest any any suggestions would be welcome.
EDIT1: Thanks for all your questions we just started ill try and answer them this evening
EDIT2: Ive answered some questions more later, we need to code :)
