I see your confusion here. You are trying to (mis)define a social media site as something it is not. Social Media is at it's core about monetizing data extracted from users and user interactions. Users are not the customer, they are the commodity. It is an understandable if somewhat naive mistake. The target user of social media is people who don't understand this, while the target user of Slashdot is those who do understand.
You aren't given the choice. The fact that a lot of people go here for the comments is immaterial. There is no social aspect; in fact you would have a better chance of arguing that it is anti-social media. You can't use a social media platform without creating an account. The purpose of the site isn't to gather data on the user and their likes, habits, and whatever else they can sell. Shit, they don't even care what we like.
Slash, the code which powers slashdot.org literally cannot be a Web 2.0 based application, since it predates Web 2.0 by a decade. While they eventually tacked on a few features that nobody ever uses that is lipstick on a dirty, dirty pig. Nobody logs in to slashdot to post about their life, where they are, how much they enjoyed their "beautiful chocolate cake"photos, or anything else for that matter, about the social aspects of their life. In fact you can use Slashdot for your whole life without ever even creating a frigging account. Just as abcnews.com and npr.org are not social media, slashdot is not either. The reason every one of your points starts with lame is because that is what describes any attempt to argue in favor of the idea that Slashdot is a social media site.
Slashdot existed more than a decade before the first social media site. The true irony here is that you are posting on Slashdot, a site for people with strong technical knowledge, and are so clueless about technology that you think you are using a social media site.
Yes. Just as Al Capone had a life passion, so too did little Billy Gates. You seem to be under the impression that Gates got rich by legitI-mate means. Those of us who have been in High Tech as long as he has watched his criminal history unfold, realize how much damage he has cost society, and aren't blinded to the fact that all his current "phalanthropic efforts" don't turn out to be so selfless when the light of greater scrutiny is shined upon them.
I'm well aware of the uselessness of the setup. You are creating a straw man again. The OP claimed that an assumption was made that wasn't made. You went on for paragraphs making a completely flawed analysis of an entirely seperate issue. Nobody is saying "abandon your mining rig plans and do it this way instead."
Your analysis is completely incorrect. Trying to say that chip density tells the story and that your desktop used less power than a smartphone because it has greater chip density is absurd. In fact greater chip density means the same die space can use more power, not less.
Maybe the screen is cracked, like the one on my HTC, that I use as an MP3 player now. There are other reasons, including simply wanting a newer, more responsive handheld computer. You *did* know that they aren't really phones, but computers that can place and receive calls, right?
"It also contains an Easter egg: the Android Oreo logo now looks like an actual cookie."
If the logo looked like an actual Easter Egg, that still wouldn't be an Easter Egg, unless it was hidden somehow, such as if it only looked like an actual cookie if the system clock was changed to the date of release of the Oreo cookie (or the Android Oreo release date, etc.).
You are going to find you have a bigger problem. These days, like actors, we get typecast by, ironically perhaps, the recruiters who have no idea what a typecast. "This is a C programming position. I see here that you wrote an OS in C, but that was years ago. We have this other guy with 2 years recent C, and he can write a Hello World program! I don't understand any of this stuff but he seems like a much stronger candidate to me! Do you realize how many more letters there are in Hello World than OS!"
Central Park is indoors? You claim to be so big on "The will of the people", but what you really mean is that is good so long as it matches your will. When a woman sprays perfume, which "the will of the people" allows you state that you would assault her, which "The will of the people" does not allow, but that your will to drink the sofa was stronger than your will to assault her with it. So stop posting about how a law is great because "it is the will of the people." You are a disingenuous hypocrite.
You didn't really write that did you? Yes, we are well aware that Trump doesn't go on any mission ever since his 5 failed missions to find his balls many, many years ago.
Processes that crash get respawned with the same name but different PID, so just because the site eventually starts working you can still say it crashed. Learning how computer systems work from Wikipedia is a bad idea, but coming here and getting snarky based on the limited knowledge you derive from that behaviour is just plain foolhardy.
There is no *real* advantage (OMFG! I had ta typez da numba!) and a very real disadvantage (Poor cell service or unpaid cell bill means you are locked out) in other words.
Says a guy who can't figure out how to log in to Slashdot. I know that it doesn't matter if a criminal or "non-criminal" says it... neither of you knows the answer and are just as far off base as anyone who says the opposite. Time will tell, and ONLY time will tell.

There is no irony since you did not get it from a social media news feed, and it did not say all news feeds, but rather social media ones.
That is one plausible theory.
The web is supposed to be fragmented? I'm going to assume you have no idea what you said, because the alternative is too scary.

I regularly receive inquiries from recruiters. If you dont ... well, one of us is doing something wrong :^)

Brad: You tricked me, I wouldn't have...I' ve never never...never... Frank: Oh Yes yes, I know...but it isn't all bad, is it?
Yes, I agree. Coworkers who ban strong perfumes are indeed assholes.

That's not how freedom works. If everything that wasn't approved of by the majority were banned it would be a boring world indeed.
You didn't really write that did you? Yes, we are well aware that Trump doesn't go on any mission ever since his 5 failed missions to find his balls many, many years ago.
I'm sure I could if I cared that much as I know for a fact I saw him say it on camera. The better question is can you?

Not everyone has WiFi I'm afraid. Still locked out.
There is no *real* advantage (OMFG! I had ta typez da numba!) and a very real disadvantage (Poor cell service or unpaid cell bill means you are locked out) in other words.
Someone should invent Google Authenticator.
