  1. Re:Same basic concern remains on BuzzFeed Unmasks Mastermind Who Urged Peter Thiel To Destroy Gawker (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Gawker outed Thiel as gay and refused a court order to take down the Hogan sex tape because it was "public interest". Meanwhile they ran stories that viewing stolen nude photos of Jennifer Lawrence was the equivalent as sexual assault.

  2. A shitscript package manager that does a chmod of /etc and /boot? This thing had to have been written by that Poettering asshole.

  3. Re:And they prove it on Salon Magazine Mines Monero On Your Computer If You Use an Ad Blocker (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Haven't a clue what it did to my rating back then, I was maybe 18-19 at the time. My credit is 740 now.

    I used to subscribe to the paper version of Wired and let my subscription lapse. They sent me to a collection agency for failure to renew a $12 subscription! How is not renewing a subscription the same as buying something and not paying for it?

  5. Re:uBlock Origin on Salon Magazine Mines Monero On Your Computer If You Use an Ad Blocker (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This place used to post Salon stories all day long. I never liked their agenda.

    If that bullshit adblocker pop up happens I click a button that disables javascript and then the site is free of annoyances. Funny thing is without the javascript the internet looks like it did in the 1990s. No animated bullshit menus and pages that move and scroll. Images that don't load until you get to them are annoying as fuck. Stop changing the layout as I'm reading as its very distracting.

    It figures that leftist rag would resort to shady javascript miners to turn a profit.

  8. Re:If we had unions with apprenticeships! on Who Killed The Junior Developer? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure did wonders for the domestic steel industry!

  9. Pretty soon all of /etc will be stored in a binary database. Then you'll need a fancy GUI editor to make changes. Can't wait for this feature!

  10. $179 earpods are cheap?

  11. Re:Offensive to who? on YouTube Will Remove Ads, Downgrade Discoverability of Channels Posting Offensive Videos (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    My guess would be SJW and whiny liberals.

    100% of the time if someone claims they are a hitman it really means they are a cop.

    Because it only happens on this site. Find me another one where it happens.

    Still double what it was six months ago.

  15. Monero on Bitcoin Won't Be the Dark Web's Top Cryptocurrency For Long (cnet.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Maybe you should read up on Monero. It was designed to be anonymous.

  16. Re:Entire internet doesn't need to be https on Google Chrome Pushes For User Protection With 'Not secure' Label (axios.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't the fed have all the SSL master keys anyhow?

    The janitors who run this place can't even fix the unicode bug that OSX users have. How can it be that complicated? Not a single other site on the entire internet has that problem. Why only here and why can't they be bothered to fix it?

  18. Time limits on YouTube Kids App Still Showing Disturbing Videos (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I still think phone and tablet use should be metered out to young children. Kids being glued to a screen while missing out on social interaction is going to be a bad thing. I see kids out in public watching phones the entire time they are out. I guess it comes down to lazy parenting and them being satisfied their child is busy and not having to interact with them. Will these kids ever be shocked when they get a job somewhere and be expected to have an attention span.

  19. Re:Another /. flamebait to quickly harvest clicks on A Look at How Indian Women Have Persevered Through Several Obstacles To Contribute to the Open Source Community (factordaily.com) · · Score: 1

    While this place is full of Asperger neck beards who haven't a clue why women run away from them, you do have a point.

  20. Re:SD card feature? on Camera Makers Resist Encryption, Despite Warnings From Photographers (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Hardware encryption won't slow anything down.

  21. Artie Lange claims to have bought cocaine with a credit card. He said it showed up as a currency exchange.

  22. Billions of dollars are at stake with the NFL. You think that is just going to evaporate?

  23. Bottom line on Backblaze Hard Drive Stats for 2017 (backblaze.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seagate is garbage and cheap while HGST is better and more expensive. WD falls in the middle. Price be GB has not fallen in a long time either. I'm out of space and always wonder about saving $90 by shucking a WD EasyStore or paying for HGST.

    A Trump story without a mention of Russia hacking something? Come on Slashdot!

    Look at proposition 65 in California to see what allowing people to directly vote on accomplishes. Warning labels on nearly everything about hazards that only exist within that state.
