Slashdot Mirror


FOSS Force is a FOSS News and Commentary Site (Video)

Christine Hall is FOSS Force's founder, publisher, chief editor, and everything else. She started the site about five years ago, but it has only started to attract notice in the last year. Christine brings the cynicism and writing style of a long-time freelance journalist to this tech niche, which makes her site a welcome addition to the Open Source news pantheon. And on the Slashdot front: this is our first video in a while because we have switched video hosting services. We hope you like this host better than the last one. Native HTML 5 at (long) last. Yay!

    One day, I hope Slashdot figures out that not everybody wants video, and especially not autoplaying video.

    Either stop the autoplay, make it possible in the setting to choose not to see threads with video, or both.

      This javascript is in the source code for the page:
                                                      Bolt.getPlayer('playerwrapper').autoplay

      If that's not actually turning on autoplay, that's dumb way for someone to write code.
