  1. I can't think of a single reason of needing to run a phone app on my desktop.

  2. Re:No links? on AmigaOS 3.1.4 For Classic Amigas Released (hyperion-entertainment.com) · · Score: 2

    The old joke still holds true. Anyone can be replaced with a simple Perl script.

  3. What possible benefit does Russia gain by spamming bad reviews for a movie?

  4. Re:Why was it ever on the Play Store? on SuperSU, a Popular Root App For Android, Disappears From Google Play Store (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 2

    I'd rooted my old Android phones because there is no other way to remove the factory installed bloated apps and spyware. I also rooted my iPhone because iTunes is so shitty and terrible. I just want to access the phone like a flash drive. But you can't even do that because iOS mangles all the filenames.

  5. Re:Because "64bit" is somehow inherently better? on Apple Watch Apps Instantly Went 64-Bit Thanks To Obscure Bitcode Option (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    So other than addressing >4Gb of memory, what are the upsides?

  6. Maybe he should have presented his slides at a humanities or sociology conference instead of one dedicated to physics? Sounds like he was upset that women were invading his boys club.

  7. My favorite was the new Mountain Dew flavor called Hitler Did Nothing Wrong.

  8. This is the best reply I can think of. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/i...

  9. It's going to require 70 different obscure libraries and frameworks to function.

    But if you are using the definition in the CoC, the answer is because *it is the kernel mailing list* and it is implied this is where you discuss the kernel.

    Someone who writes a sound card driver for example may make a post "I changed the init sequence from sending 0xFF to sending a 0x00 three times, waiting 100ms, and then sending 0xFF. I had to do this to make it work with brand BLAH"

    The above statement is defined as a personal opinion by the CoC, and if brand BLAH is a company run by a female, the person making the above "personal opinion" is performing an attack on all women

    Holy fuck you're reaching. What you stated about the hardware is fact. It is verifiable and reproducible. It is NOT an opinion.

  11. Someone will get the bright idea to put all of /etc into a flat binary file. Think how nice that will be! Then a tool to make changes, maybe call it regedit...

  12. That is still less than helpful.

  13. Re:Legitimate Kernel Developers Don't Want To Resc on Richard Stallman Says Linux Code Contributions Can't Be Rescinded (itwire.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is a kernel mailing list. Nobody wants to hear your personal opinions. Why would such things even need to be discussed?

    The funny part is you're the only one talking about genitals. The vast majority of contributors are too busy coding to worry about autists like you.

  15. lol on Elon Musk Pulled Out of Settlement With SEC At Last Minute (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If hes an idiot then why are you not a self made billionaire?

    It's hot now but so was Perl in the 1990s.

  17. I so wanted to watch that happen and then storm troopers immediately break down the door.

  18. Re:This discussion is weird on Linus Torvalds On Linux's Code of Conduct (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    They are clearly on the autism spectrum and don't understand nuances or how they can be off putting to the general public. Their world is absolute. I've met some of these people in real life and they are frightening.

  19. Re:So much for that on Linus Torvalds On Linux's Code of Conduct (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Any links to these dubious claims?

  20. You're 100% correct. Some people do infect the keygens with trojans but the legit copies of "Microsoft Toolkit" always get flagged as hacking software.

  22. Is that people who play video games got the name "esports" to stick.

  23. Same reasons AMD's stock went down when they released way better chips than Intel.
