Then there's the irony that the Tea Party types talk about revolution and how they want to shoot people and their protests are peaceful, while what's left of the Left talks about peace and then goes out and breaks shit and intentionally starts fights with the cops so they can complain about being oppressed
The tea party revolution is one to make the powerful more powerful. So they don't get any trouble from those in power.
The leftist revolution is one to bring the power back to the people. So they get a full force attack by both the police and the propaganda machine.
By pandering to stupid people Google has rendered itself unsuitable for use by professionals. This leaves a gap in the market for a search engine that actually works the way it should.
Google has keywords for certain searches. You can use e.g. 'inurl:' if you want your terms to be found in the url instead of the body. They should implement a 'fuzzy:' keyword, to turn on the fuzzy searching. Literal searching should be the default, obviously.
Yes, Google's default assumption that you didn't really mean to type what you typed is extremely annoying. I find that I have to revise most queries with "" and + before I get what I want. That didn't used to be the case.
These days it's even common to get query results that contain none of the words in the query. What's up with that?!
When it comes to old 2D games the Playstation 3 controller is pretty much the best on the market, thanks to its solid dpad
Are you kidding? The Sony style disconnected arrow buttons have been the bane of 2d gamers for 3 generations of Playstation. Anyone who seriously wants to play 2d games on the PS3 (shmups or vs. fighters mostly) will go get a USB Sega Saturn pad. This is the finest digital game pad ever produced bar none. Make sure you get an original, because the clones will break with light use.
So, what if I want to use my own window manager? I no longer get to use wayland apps? This is why the window manager and display server have been separate for so long. There's no reason to conflate the two now.
So where does the networking come from? Where it should have been in the first place: widget toolkits like GTK+ and Qt.
So every tool kit has to support networking itself, rather than just inheriting it from the display server? Why is that "where it should have been"? Every new tool kit is going to have to reinvent the wheel.
HTTPS Everywhere only works with sites that support HTTPS. If you want to really be safe on WIFI* use a VPN, or set up a quick socks proxy with 'ssh -D'.
*notice that even encrypted WIFI isn't safe. Anyone with access to the encrypted network can eavesdrop on your packets
They're not idiots. They know this is unconstitutional. They just don't care, and they know they can get away with it. They're worse than idiots, they're evil.
There was actually a guy who did stings on the police. You can find it on Youtube if you search 'kopbusters'. He set up houses with hydroponic equipment, but no contraband, and sent in an anonymous complaint, which isn't enough to legally get a search warrant. Got them all on tape raiding an empty house on false pretenses.
Eventually they ended up raiding his home. Found a small personal amount of marijuana. Used that as pretext to take his stepdaughter away from him.
Yeah, we tried back then. They held some of the biggest protests ever on American soil, it was no match for the propaganda machine. Protests mean nothing if no one hears about them, and the media didn't give a shit.
What's worst is that both the prosecutor and the judge have immunity for anything they do in the course of their jobs. So there's literally no recourse against these criminals.
I am against police brutality WITHOUT REASON (officer beats you up without warning), but I think officers should be protected for anything that happens if their instructions are not followed.
So it's ok with you giving every officer an instant out? All it would take is for a murderer to say "he didn't follow my instructions", and you'd be 100% OK with murder?
What the fuck is wrong with you? I hope you get murdered by a police officer.

The default assumption should be that the user knows what he wants.

Sure, the algorithm itself can be explained. What can't be explained is why anyone would think that would be a good search algorithm.

Best days as a search engine? Probably, yes. Best days as an advertising revenue machine? Probably not.

Wayland is a Window Manager

Nothing about Wayland sounds good at all to me.
Well presumably there are sanctions for non-compliance in the act.
If PROTECT-IP requires DNS severs in the US to censor domains, wouldn't that apply to your self run DNS server as well?
What law is violated when posting links?
How many lumens do you get for that 10W?
Juno a lot about this mission.
No, that's not a problem with hobbies. That's a problem with jobs.
Yep. Wikipedia was in trouble from the moment "deletionists" became a word.

Because if we had the former, we wouldn't have the latter. We'd just have copy shops.
How exactly do you justify that?

You're an awfully nice guy. As far as I'm concerned we should just hang them both.
