  1. universally hated on Apple Has Ruined Its Podcasts App (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    The new app is universally hated. I’ve been reading bad reviews everywhere. In the App Store itself there are no bad or good reviews, apparently the reviews have been disabled. How can apple fumble something so bad? During the beta tests my feedback was constant about all sorts of problems with the UI and the workflow. It does not work as simply as it used to, or the way it should since the old way wasn’t perfect either but at least it was usable.

  3. Completely junk news. grrrr

  4. I've stopped using google for many months now. Don't miss it. The only google service I consciously use is Youtube. Now there are other ways to get things done.

  5. It should die on Ask Slashdot: Is KDE Dying? · · Score: 1

    Bear with me...

    If we all rally behind the free desktop ideas, we can achieve the goals and be able to present an alternative to modern OS X, Windows and mobile desktops/laptops.

    Couldn't say it better myself.
    Systemd is simply re-re-re-implementing the wheel with barely any breakthroughs in something really innovative.

  9. Re: Fuck yes! on NSA Releases Open Source Security Tool For Linux · · Score: 1

    SELinux is not a distribution of Linux. This is a security tool (kernel level). Do a research.

  10. Very easy to find back doors too on MenuetOS, an Operating System Written Entirely In Assembly, Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Yep, with assembly is a breeze to keep the system secure.

  11. We do sound old ugh? on Ask Slashdot: Living Without Social Media In 2015? · · Score: 1

    I say this to all. Social media is for those who want to use it. Whatever the usage might be, it's a choice.
    Bragging about not being in social media only makes you look passÃ, and you probably are anyway as tech and knowledge moves way to fast for us to keep up. You can try all you want but the fact is that you will be obsolete by the time you finish reading this message.
    Enjoy your life at your private cabin, off-the-grid, and keep feeding the bears. Your time is only important to yourself.

  13. Formal education in C++ on Was Linus Torvalds Right About C++ Being So Wrong? · · Score: 1

    As someone who was taught C++ as a way to introduce one to programming in college, I have to agree.
    Later, many years later in fact, when I discovered C, I was a much happier person. Everything is so much simpler in C starting with the syntax and ending with compiler optimization and debugging.
    By comparison, one could say the same about using ECMA^Wjavascript versus CoffeeScript. JavaScript has many features most of which are good, however the syntax gets in the way. CoffeeScript "fixes" that by making code simpler without sacrificing on features.

    So wait... 15.04 was supposed to get systemd and now they activate it and you think it shouldn't be activated until ...

    I don't see your argument as valid. However, this is slashdot and you can rant all you want.

    You are misled. This is well tested. Now it's just making it official.

  16. Smooth switch on Ubuntu To Officially Switch To systemd Next Monday · · Score: 1

    I started using Vivid months ago and manually switched to this atrocity. It worked well but I still want to be a contrarian and protest it.
    It works and it's smooth but I hate that it works well and it works smoothly.

    Gtk3 is a fine, general purpose, toolkit that helps you solve a plethora of problems quickly. In addition, Gtk3 is used extensively behind corporate environments' doors to deliver good quality software for its users.

    Thanks for the advise but I reserve the right to make my own choices.

  23. Re: Refund. on WhatsApp Founder Used Unchangable Airline Ticket To Pressure Facebook · · Score: 1

    You're not missing anything. It's a scam. If you have friends overseas you can't send them free SMS. You could use one of those services you mentioned, but they all require that all your friends have an account and are tech-savvy. WhatsUp works like SMS and for them is free.

  24. Re:Hoping for systemd on Debian To Replace SysVinit, Switch To Systemd Or Upstart · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but this is horrible .ini-style code. Poorly thought out and easy to make a big mess. What if you say "execStart" or "execstart" instead of the specific case you used here? I really dislike when we step backwards in time. This should be elegant and extremely simple. Upstart is that for now. I have no complaints with upstart.
