the repubs are about the money and a false sense of jesus. oh, and hating the non-whites. and telling you how to live and what you can and can't do with your body.
as often happens in media when a company doesn't pay for advertising
its called 'greeking'. I was involved with a project that was taped for primetime tv and anything on the stage that had a logo and wasn't 'approved' had the right color of tape placed over the logo. one person had the job to walk around and tape over all the logos on all gear, clothing, etc - for the show taping.
yup, just simple colored tape. and that's one person's job, too;)
You live any where in the world and you identify as a woman (cis or trans), trans man, or genderqueer person (including genderfluid or genderfree).
You live in the United States or you are a U.S. national or permanent resident living aboard, AND you are a person of any gender who is Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander
FUCK THEM!
exclude white males? for what reason?
again, fuck that project and anyone who uses 'outreachy'.
sick and tired of this reverse discrimination.
exclusing ANYONE based on race (etc) is just plain stupid. and, no, you can't 'fix past problems' done to one group by punishing that other group. I had nothing to do with what our great grandfathers were doing; and mine was not even IN this country, back then. why discriminate again people like me?
fucked up, is what this is.
I wholly stand behind the dev who quit. he quit for a really good reason! lets hope that whole project fails. I could not care less how important it is (I avoid llvm anyway..). code of conduct that DISCRIMINATES is worse than not having one at all.
we're forced to run 'modern' browsers at work, and even on linux and win10, chromium (I won't run chrome, no matter what) freezes at least once a day. usually its the fucking ADS that cause chromium to lock up, but it sure does lock up solid, almost every single day.
my ancient firefox (which does have security issues; it dates at least 3 years ago) works fine, though. I have all my plugins working from years ago, my adblockers, js blocker, etc. I don't get junk with that setup and it stops the 'toxic web' (I should register that phrase, btw) with all the configured filters. I can't configure enough filters on chromium to make browsing safe again.
yeah, the web is horribly ruined, 'webmasters' are the lowest of our programming brothers (phone app makers are tied for being sleaziest, though) and we need good filtering to make the web usable with all the corruption and BS out there.
its funny how people sing the praises of chrome but for me, its a really bad browser.
I stopped - full stopped - giving any care or consideration for what some deem as 'legal' downloads. I see how the execs and the rich live their lives; they are essentially lawless, amoral and uncaring about anyone but themselves. so, I model myself from my 'heroes' and, all of a sudden, I save myself a lot of money and wasted time on DRM issues. I free myself from even thinking that 'downloading' is wrong. its not wrong. or, its no more wrong than how the content 'owners' treat us, the consumers.
if someone treats me like shit, why would I turn around and give them respect?
so, I stopped caring and I do as I please, just like the rich class does. I'm not rich, but I see no reason why THEY get to play one set of rules and us rubes have to play by another.
fuck that.
treat us fairly and maybe we'll turn-about. but not with things the way they are. you have declared war on your own customer. you have shown your hand. and we have shown ours. the war ends when YOU stop the war. we've not going to just roll over because you say so.
I'm very liberal and when I post my strong dislike for the R's that are ruining things for all of us, I get modded down very unrealistically, compared to how slash used to be (note, I do have a low enough number to know what slash used to be like in the early days).
IT is not conservative; slash is mostly IT based and yet the R's come here in storm and mod things down in a pretty organized manner.
I'd say there are definitely paid shills and trolls here and have been over about 10 years, now.
I dont' really care; since I realize that this place has long been invaded and ruined. I still speak my mind and the message still does get out. but it is a shame that the invasion of social media has mostly ruined it, as a true communication medium.
well, the R's will butcher it more than the D's will.
the R's sold us all out with the loss of net-neutrality (plus about a billion other things since the orange idiot has begin his plunder). they are clearly not for 'the people'. never really were, in recent memory.
the D's are bought and sold, too; but they aren't quite as blatant about selling our privacy. I don't hold much hope, but if any party is going to fix this, its the D and not the R.
so, simply seeing 'a sign' posted is all that you need to control you?
you are easily controlled, my friend.
signs don't mean shit. it costs nothing to post BS signs. that does not make photos illegal. in public, photos are legal in the US. PERIOD. signs or not.
so, taking photos of our own planet are 'security things' that need 'authorization'?
this proves we jumped the shark. I mean, any thinking person should object to the notion that you need 'permission' to photo anything about the earth.
look, if your toys are so secret that can't be photod, why are they not under physical cover, then?
absurdity. time to tear down all regulations and start over. it would be a mixed blessing to restart humanity. what we have now is going entirely in the wrong direction and shit like this just proves it pretty clearly.
"you need our permission to take photos from space". such utter bullshit.
god damned right! teachers are very underpaid. we have a screwed up sense of balance in this world when we underpay educators but overpay sports athletes.
apple stuff is hella expensive. schools have little money. I don't understand why they even CONSIDER apple shit, unless they get a 75% discount or something heavy like that.
sheesh. the thought of a school spending money so apple can be richer than rich - makes me sick to think of such a thing.
kids don't need tablets or laptops. let them learn the old way, first. books, when dropped CAN be fucking repaired!
what a stupid way to waste money; and schools should know better than this. what has happened to us; sheesh!
1) very cold there (I spent many years back east so I know it well)
2) highly red state (against my world viewpoints; people around me would not be as open and accepting to very liberal views. again, a VERY red state, pennsy is, especially as you move away from the philly area.
3) what good is owning a home if there is just one tech company nearby? sounds worse than bay area and much riskier, too.
in short, no. thanks but no thanks. I'll continue to rent (maybe never own a home) but at least I have many companies nearby to choose from, great weather and great local food.
plus, very liberal area. just can't see myself EVER living in a red state. I'd hate it.
as the car is driving down route 101, do you honestly expect the computer onboard to STOP the car, right there? in many cases, there is not even a pullover (lay-by) lane.
I'd like to know what you propose, when the computer says 'I need you to do something, I'm not sure what I should do, myself' and the human ignores it for too long. stopping is NOT always the right thing! the correct answer is 'it depends'.
I feel this way toward all of google, all of fb, all of twitter. and it includes any 'network management' (dpi, really) company, as well.
they all are traitors, of a kind. they sold their souls, mostly looking the other way as to not think too much about it, but the core reason for all of these companies to exist is to steal, swindle, lie, cheat and take whatever they can, in anyway they can. 'networking' is just a backdrop; all those companies are run by sociopaths who would kill for money.
you workers who joined those companies: are you now starting to have a conscience? I guess better late than never, but sheesh, what DID you think your company was all about?
I've been quite desparate for jobs in the past (I'm over 50...) - but I'd never create a fb account JUST to 'show them'... ANYTHING.
any job that you would not get BECAUSE of a lack of fb is no job worth having. and I'm saying that as someone who has been nearly broke from unemployment more times than I care to count.
I think you are lying to yourself, though. no job insists on having fb next to your name. you assume too much.
Slashdot Mirror
Proof that it's all about the money.
yeah, BSAB, right?
no, you're not right.
the dems are about the money.
the repubs are about the money and a false sense of jesus. oh, and hating the non-whites. and telling you how to live and what you can and can't do with your body.
but sure, both sides are bad. uhuh.
ok, so you revoke the social rules and keep changing things in your favor. you show no signs of respect for us, the consumers.
well, then, its come to the point where we no longer care about you or your 'rules'.
you started the war, but we can play dirty, too, you know.
linksys and 'mcdebian' (google it)
good stuff and pretty much, pure debian on a 'plastic router'.
after that, its all up to you. but the guts are there and its updatable more than most.

wow, amazing!
You must meet one of the following criteria:
You live any where in the world and you identify as a woman (cis or trans), trans man, or genderqueer person (including genderfluid or genderfree).
You live in the United States or you are a U.S. national or permanent resident living aboard, AND you are a person of any gender who is Black/African American, Hispanic/Latin@, Native American/American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander

democrats?
you mean the party that has ZERO POWER in this era?
the R's have all 3 power bases.
you wanna blame the D's though?
you truly are an anonymous asswipe.
stupid parent!
do your research (NOT fox news, either, dummy).
I won't do your research for you, but just lets say:
YOU ARE CONTEXTUALLY WRONG.
(although, not the best kind of wrong....)

fuck off, buddy.
you have no idea what my life has been like. you think I'm rich or priviledged? just WHAT makes you think that?
I've had only pocket change to my name before. you don't know shit about me and you are certainly NOT in any position to judge me.
so, just fuck off.
