Is Mozilla no longer dependent on the teet that is Google? Sure was nice of Google to let Mozilla suckle for so long and now that Mozilla is all grown up it can rebel against its parents. Human nature at its finest. This is just teenage puberty. Move along.
Guy eats neurotoxins. Guy gets brain damage. Somehow I don't see the connection here. Can someone point it out for me? OH WAIT SO HE IS EATING NEUROTOXINS AND HE GETS BRAIN DAMAGE? Well who would'a fucking thunk that could happen?
Companies are not under-investing, they're just investing in wrong and unimportant and unproductive endeavours because they don't let the IT people decide what's important.
Pacifism is not an activity, it's a movement. It doesn't work until you achieve critical mass. You not going to war won't change anything, but if you can get half the population on your side then things are different.
Was there ever a market for this? It's always the same two Linux enthusiasts who are vocally adamant about there being a market for games on Linux, but who are we really kidding here? Games on Linux is a cute niche, sure, but it is a niche nonetheless. There is absolutely no need for it because it will always have consoles and Windows as competitors, and that just isn't a market you break into half-assedly. If Linux as a gaming platform was 150% better than Windows, then absolutely games on Linux could become a thing. But until then who really gives a fuck? Who's really going to invest the hundreds of millions of dollars that it's going to take to make Linux a competitive gaming platform?
Since they started moving everything off of netflix again and requiring who-knows how many active subscriptions at $10-15 a piece, each to its own uniquely flavored netflix clone, then how is this any fucking surprise to anyone?
It works better if you don't do the entire sketch on your own. I know this forces you to depend on others knowing what's best for them, but if you never give them the chance they'll never learn.
I can't do anything. I am a mentally handicapped person - a parent! I can't possibly just take away the fucking thing from my child, because think of the children! SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!!!!!
In the 9th century, there was a widespread political collapse in the central Maya region, resulting in internecine warfare, the abandonment of cities, and a northward shift of population. The Postclassic period saw the rise of Chichen Itza in the north, and the expansion of the aggressive K'iche' kingdom in the Guatemalan Highlands. In the 16th century, the Spanish Empire colonized the Mesoamerican region, and a lengthy series of campaigns saw the fall of Nojpetén, the last Maya city, in 1697.
Why do you refer to some beaded guy in the sky? It just demonstrates your complete lack understanding of the definition of "God". As defined by every major religion in the world, "God" is no more, and no less than the very fabric of reality itself. God is the sum of all parts. You exist inside God, you exist as a part of God, as do all things in the universe.
If everyone was still running with 640x480 and PC speakers the way they were supposed to, we wouldn't have this problem. The biggest issue with computers is seemingly ever-present need to build entertainment machines out of them. If we just did away with the entertainment requirements, we would be just fine with 500MHz CPUs. Who the fuck really needs FFMPEG anyway? Big Brother maybe. ESPN maybe. But they have the money to build render farms for their needs. What do the rest of us really need 4K video for?
The problem is when you start with a 50-page introduction, you turn people off your idea, no matter what the idea is or how good it is. You need the 3 second sound-bite to explain to people WHY they should care about your idea.
For example:
My vision is I want every American to have the opportunity to get a job.
I have an idea how to accomplish this, but I need YOUR help to do it.
My idea is we build a giant wall around the country so none of the terrible foreigners can get in and steal our jobs.
You disagree on the idea, but you agree on the vision? Let's discuss your ideas then, and see if we can reach a compromise, or find an alternative.
This approach encourages collaboration and sharing of ideas among people who agree on the general principle that all Americans should have the opportunity to get a job. Starting with your wall idea without explaining why it's important just leads to everyone attaching their own vision to your idea, causing it to fall far short, both for your supporters and your opponents. Your supporters will adopt your idea for their own vision, ie. get rid of foreigners. Your opposition will attack the idea, and you, for being racist and the neutrals just won't give a shit. The very most fundamental concept in human collaboration is sharing the same vision. If everyone has a different view of how things should be, they all work in their own direction, and this leads nowhere. That's politics today. Everyone has an idea for how to improve everything, but no one has the vision required to pull anything off. MLK had a vision and he was able to talk about his vision and encourage people to follow his vision. He didn't step up with a 50-page guide on how to fix civil rights. He just had a vision of civil rights being equal for everyone, and anyone who believed in his vision could bring their own ideas to the table.
This is how you get people motivated. Get them to believe in your vision, not your idea. But when you have all these vague nonsensical politicians who can make any promise they want and aren't required to follow through on anything, it's no fucking wonder that no one gives two shits about them.
Could it be because YouTube has been overrun with shit just like everything else on the internet? If you let all the plebs in and let them do essentially whatever they want, you get the shit that is YouTube today. The fact that they're backpedalling away from "anything goes" just shows that YouTube, as a platform and as a company, is maturing. It's the natural lifecycle of things, and even Facebook can't get around this. In a year or two, we'll have a new range of upstart YouTube-killer services that will take away all the plebs, and what remains of YouTube after this is the produced-for-profit content, making YouTube a "cable company" as you say. It is inevitable. Trying to hold on to the fantasy that was YouTube 5 years ago will only leave you disappointed. Life doesn't go backwards. Only forwards. Change and adapt to the situation.
Money becomes obsolete, but not wealth in itself. The concept of wealth will simply shift from a physical good to something intangible, like your actual ability to do work and the credibility of your work within your particular community. So there will still be "rich" people and "poor" people, where the rich can have any job they want, anywhere they want, and the poor people will have to compact garbage or drill holes, or work in the part of the Enterprise that gets hit first and has a hull break, sending these poor people to their death while the prestigious captain is schmoozing away on the bridge.

But having an operations team costs money. It's so much easier to just hire more developers who have no clue about operations. DevOps!
Too little and too late. If it ever becomes law, it will change nothing.

You are, by your own definition, not someone who buys games so why should your opinion carry weight?
I think you're projecting a degree of anger onto my post which just isn't there. It's just words. Maybe you're angry at someone?

Haha you fucking dumbass, you voted for this shit. HAhahahAHAAHahAHAHAHHAHAA NET NEUTRALITY LELELELEL?
Obviously global warming is spreading to other planets in the system. After all, it is global.

I knew it.
Don't show the dislikes. Keep it internal to the system. Just make disliked things disappear.

Some over-entitled millenial no doubt.

You mean an active-passive producer-consumer model.

Get him a Netflix subscription and put Cosmos on.
