  1. So long as there isn't commercial support for all this open software that they now don't have to pay for, these transitions aren't going to work. I assume they aren't going to shift their license costs to developer costs to maintain and improve said open software. They're just going to sit back and think of all of those savings they'll be saving. Until the incompatibility stick hits them. Linux is only free if your time is free. As soon as you need to support that shit, it is just as costly if not more so than any Windows installation.

    Coffee? There's no coffee where these people are going.

  3. Discard your shame on Want to Be Happy? Think Like an Old Person (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Whatever insignificant thing you worry about and think others might react badly to, it really doesn't fucking matter. Really. It really does not matter. Stop thinking about it and just do whatever you want. If that ends up cutting your life short? So what. You lived a shorter, but more fulfilling life than the 99% of people who can't realise their own needs.

    Seriously. Stop being so damn ashamed about and afraid of everything. You want to hug black people and tell them you love them? Just fucking do it already. You want to quit your job and start a business for yourself? Just fucking do it already. You want fulfil your dreams of becoming a woman? Just fucking do it already. You want to break into spontaneous song while waiting in line for ice cream? Just fucking do it already.

    The only one life is waiting for is you. Why are you waiting?

    Real call or not, if you knock the front door and someone comes to open, then you don't fucking shoot first. What if it's a hostage that is opening? Shoot first? The fuck, America? Grow a brain.

  5. Halt and catch fire on What's The Best TV Show About Working in Tech? (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I really liked the first season. All the obvious drama aside, it's a fun story about people working in ye olde tech explosion era.

  7. What's the end result of all this? on Judge Dismisses Lawsuit That Claims Google Paid Female Employees Less Than Male Colleagues (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    No women get hired. Period. Can't pay them less if they don't get hired at all. But then I suppose that would be discrimination too. Can't live with them, can't live without them. Then what the fuck do we do?

  8. What could possibly go wrong? More explosions and action, but in reverse, and everyone's head explodes, IN REVERSE!

  10. Technobabble on Physicists Made An Unprecedented 53 Qubit Quantum Simulator (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Quantum simulators are a special type of quantum computer that uses qubits to simulate complex interactions between particles. Qubits are the informational medium of quantum computers, analogous to a bit in an ordinary computer. Yet rather than existing as a 1 or 0, as is the case in a conventional bit, a qubit can exist in some superposition of both of these states at the same time.

    I love how quantum people love writing stuff like this, because if you don't already know exactly what it means, it won't do diddly dick to help you clarify what a quantum computer is anyway.

    Your fault is thinking your Muricana-type freedom is the be-all-end-all solution to every god damn argument. What people need isn't your kind of freedom under threat of terrorism. What people need stability and room for personal growth, none of which USA provides. USA is exactly what USA is, fat people in way too tight pants. There is literally no more room for growth. If USA wants to be a competitive nation of free thinkers, then it needs to get back on the fucking treadmill and cut off all that excess weight they carry on their shoulders like it's their weight to carry in the first place. USA doesn't need to carry the world, the world is doing just fine on its own.

  13. Ah shit this wasn't even the right article I commented on. Thanks for not having an edit button Slashdot. Making websites like it's 1992.

    It's 31? Ah well, I knew it was section something-or-other. Either way, that show is so full of continuity flaws by now it really won't matter what they do.

    I'd bet you that those 10k grads from 1980 would run circles around the 60k 2005 grads if time allowed the two groups to meet and compete.

  18. Re:Spore Drive is a one season story at most on Star Trek: Discovery Is Returning For a Second Season (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    They should have just declared early on that Discovery is a Section 9 ship. Then they would avoid the whole debacle of continuity, because as far as I remember, Section 9 doesn't actually make an appearance until midway through DS9, yet they have existed since the founding of the Federation. Then it'd be entirely possible for Discovery to exist, but have no one in the future know about it.

    I'll happily support anyone who dares challenge preconceptions or who try to make their own way in life. I will not, however, babysit incompetents or carry people who have no business being carried.

    Fat people who eat themselves to death, stupid people who can't conceive of something to do with their lives, and fear mongering idiots who are afraid of their own shadows. These are all people who have no place in the world of tomorrow.

    It's about time we go back to letting evolution do what it's supposed to do. Purge all the shit that can't take care of itself, making more room for everyone else to grow.

    And just as a followup to this, the next world war is not going to be between USA and North Korea or USA and China or USA and whoever the fuck. It's going to be smart people against stupid people, and I for one hope smart people win.

  23. AI only wins when you give up on learning on Tim O'Reilly: Don't Fear AI, Fear Ourselves (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I really don't know how else to say this. The people complaining about "DEY TOOK OUR JERBS" are literally retarded. They have no mental capacity to learn new skills or to engage their own ambitions. All they do is sit around like vegetable complaining that they have no jobs. If someone hands them a job, what do they do? They sit around complaining how terrible their jobs are, and they fuck up until they are fired because who the fuck wants these retards around anyway? Fucking cancerous shits.

    AI isn't going to be the end of the world, AI is going to be the end of retardation and idiocracy. AI will ensure that people who have no capacity for forward thinking will lose all reason to exist. It will take decades to bring the human civilization to the point where these people don't exist anymore, but in the long run they must be expunged from our society if we are to proceed forward instead of backward.

    They are our sociological debt and at some point we must acknowledge that sheep have no place in a futuristic society.

  25. Re:Slashdot Died when CmdrTaco Left on 20 Years of Stuff That Matters · · Score: 1

    Back in the day, the internet wasn't a catered experience the same way it is today. It took hours of hard work to get anything useful of out it. It was kind of like Linux. As a consequence of this, it took some smarts to get going. I've no doubt the ratio of trolls to non-trolls remains the same today, but the quality of trolls (and non-trolls) was obviously higher.

    But today, it's more like a playstation, you know? "Push X to be entertained." It lowers the threshold for who can be on the internet somewhat, and while this has massively benefitted advertisers and online retailers, everyone must suffer the mediocrity and idiocracy of the mainstream.

    I imagine if you were to put Slashdot on the dark web, you'd somewhat go back to how it used to be. Very few people around, but the ones who are around, are more likely to be the ones who care enough to produce quality commentary.

    Or, you could just keep the news-part on the public internet, but move all commentary and user-engagement to the dark web.
