  1. Re: Just wanted to say "thank you" on Linus on Linux's 25th Birthday (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    Cool I can have stuff that will never work on Linux rather than stuff that won't work until there's a fix in a few weeks.

    Therefore it's all Amazon's fault / the users are stupid / everyone saying this is a shill / everyone saying this is a liar / who uses Kindles anymore / perhaps they shouldn't buy shitty hardware / other OSes have hardware problems too [/oss zealot]

    It's a legit reason for me. I could also give you the logs for when I installed Chrome on my Linux install which was a ridiculous hassle. I'd love to have a decent alternative to Windows but Linux still isn't it. Ironically it was far easier to use and more reliable back in 1999.

    All my hardware works on Windows including the webcam even after the 1607 update. I can't say the same for my Linux install. I've never had a problem with Wi-Fi on Windows but it's been a constant thorn in my and many others sides for years and every time anyone mentions it it's denied and the person saying it gets abuse. Therefore in true Slashdot fashion since I have no problem with my webcam everyone who does is a liar, shill or moron.

    Obvious fact is obvious. I have a WiFi dongle from TP Link. It works fine on Windows but not on Linux. I don't care whose fault it is, it means that my Linux experience worse than my Windows one.

    And as long as you never add any additional hardware to it.

    Linux is safer from spyware because it's a lottery whether it supports your wifi card or not. OS X is good but you can't buy a $500 Macbook

    Randroids always forget about those and pretend that something like nuclear power, which is incredibly expensive and difficult, would have ever existed without the taxpayer bankrolling it.

  12. None I'd imagine but I'm sure they're not all Americans which is my point. White men are not one homogenous group with similar experiences but a hugely diverse group of people from different countries speaking several different languages. Even the experience of two different white men in the US can be wildly different.

    That really sucks but there's still the option of installing a custom ROM with that removed.

    You can't have done much with Azure if you think that it isn't overcomplicated or hard to figure out how much it costs.

    I don't know anything about AWS but I find it hard to believe that they've managed to outdo Microsoft's overengineering tendencies and opaque licensing. Microsoft practically invented the latter.

    You can sideload whatever you like and there are also other app stores.

  25. Sharia is allowed under the same laws that have given the Beth Din courts authority for centuries, honour killings are incredibly rare and are prosecuted to the full extent of the law and one of my friends is a Muslim woman married to a white guy who's still very much alive. They even had a baby recently but still no trouble. They're more likely to get shit from white supremacist fuckwits like yourself. Face it dumbass you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

    I didn't miss the German rapes but we're talking about the UK. In any case I don't expect you know much about anywhere in the world outside whatever mental websites you get this bollocks from.
