  1. The app asks permission for the microphone. Why do you think it needs that? Fucking idiots.

  2. Cry me a river on Nearly a Third of Tech Workers Are Ready To #DeleteFacebook (betanews.com) · · Score: 3

    What is the big outrage here? Did everyone not see that screen when you installed the app asking for permission to access every single area of your phone? Why did you think it needed access to the microphone or your contacts? You 100% gave permission for this.

  3. Re:Maybe not the best person to judge. on Steve Jobs Tried To Warn Mark Zuckerberg About Privacy In 2010 (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget about him claiming a paternity test was wrong and coming up with some convoluted fuzzy math to get out of child support payments.

  4. 84? on Tumblr Takes Down 84 Russia-Linked Accounts (thehill.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So 84 accounts out of 345 million registered? Nothing in other words.

  5. Re:Google looks at private images/videos on Sex Workers Say Porn On Google Drive Is Suddenly Disappearing (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    All part of the hazards of storing your data on servers you don't own.

    Non story. See the subject line.

  7. Re:Oh boy on A New Era For Linux's Low-level Graphics (collabora.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Who the hell thought that was a good idea? Next up we have the New Accelerated Micro Binary Launcher Assembly.

  8. Experimental technology doesn't work as promised. Total shocker there.

  9. Why isn't there some driver that just grabs the video stream from the tcp connection? Something like ngrep but specialized for video.

  10. The Daily Mail is not a reputable source.

  11. No your computers were not "bricked". Unless you had to remove the flash chip or hook up the JTAG programmer your hardware isn't even remotely bricked. Sounds like you are better suited to iDevices.

  12. You just have to buy a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM.

  13. Re:The only way to actually "delete Facebook" is.. on WhatsApp Co-Founder Tells Everyone To Delete Facebook, Further Fueling the #DeleteFacebook Movement (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    They won't let you pick a fictional place to live. I kept trying to pick Arrakis and it was not accepted.

  14. Collected? on Mark Zuckerberg AWOL From Facebook's Data Leak Damage Control Session (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They didn't collect anything. It was all fed to them by users.

  15. Monero is for anonymous use.

  16. As opposed to OpenGL where you had the ATI version, the Nvidia version, and going further back the Solaris and IRIX versions.

  17. Re:This is why this is needed on Sierra Leone Government Denies the Role of Blockchain In Its Recent Election (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You want a place that barely has electricity to run the government on blockchain?

  18. Re:Patent encumbered, of course on Microsoft Brings Native HEIF Support to Windows 10 (thurrott.com) · · Score: 1

    Why doesn't he write his own image compression method and then get all the phone and camera manufacturers to sign on?

  19. Re:Simple answer on Are Research Papers Less Accurate and Truthful Than in the Past? (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Haven't we seen articles about this before? Tons of papers with results that can't be reproduced. But hey nobody reads these papers unless they need to write one of their own anyhow.

  20. Re: Like it matters.... on Did Cambridge Analytica Harvest 50 Million Facebook Profiles? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Scraping Facebook for metadata is treason? No wonder Hillary and her loonies lost the election.

  21. Re:Nope on The Ordinary Engineering Behind the Horrifying Florida Bridge Collapse (wired.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Sure looks like one to me http://www.mcm-us.com/projects... you cunt.

  22. They slide this 950 ton slab onto the pilings and congratulated themselves. Great job of building a suspension bridge without you know the suspension part that holds it up.

  23. The companies don't belong to Trump but just did business with him? Talk about clickbait.

  24. So how many ass beatings have you dished out over the years? I'm going to guess zero.
