But that would be disregarding all of the other missteps they've taken over the years that leave their wider community high and dry. Don't get me wrong, I really like how Ubuntu has brought many people to Linux that may otherwise not have tried it..but the way Canonical runs things, IMHO of course, seems to ostracize their devs and users whenever they decide to go for the next new shiny thing.
So I'm not a "Flat-Earther" or whatever you call them (simple argument is, explain how the math behind satellite communications work if Earth is not spherical).. but I do believe Fluoride shouldn't be ingested. Everything I've read on the subject points toward Fluoride being beneficial as a topical agent only (i.e. when applied directly to teeth). Ingesting it (for instance via public drinking water supply) causes harm as it passes the blood-brain barrier and collects in the Pineal Gland, calcifying and causing issues related to the early onset of puberty and other hormonal/chemical imbalances throughout life which inhibit normal, healthy function. I'd welcome any constructive countering of my stance. My simple conclusion is, if Fluoride is classified as a neurotoxin and, as such, you're not supposed to swallow Fluoride toothpaste or varnish, it's probably better not to swallow it from drinking water either.
I agree with your sentiment 100%. Very well spoken. Just wanted to point out that OSX isn't based on the Linux kernel (with an 'e', not an 'a'), it's based on FreeBSD.
Doesn't work, at least on a (since Jan 2018) unpatched Win7 Home Premium system. "The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable" when trying to access the drive even. Maybe I have to patch it?
1) Hack your switch and be able to turn it into an awesome, open device able to emulate and do all sorts of things it wasn't designed to do, or
2) Keep it unhacked and be able to play new games that come out that require the latest Nintendo updates (of which I'm sure you would be blocked from when they detect that your system has been hacked).
The cool thing about BBSes (and early Internet boards/forums/usenet/etc.) was that it was *distributed*. Every BBS was, for the most part, an island. It had its ruler (the SysOp). It wasn't this monolithic structure.
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Youtube, etc. go against the intended structure of the Internet as being a distributed/flat system. They try to be everything to everyone, and if they're lucky enough to captivate a majority of Netizens into using their service, all eyes will be on them. One bad actor can still bring them down for acting like a Nazi and getting the press' attention to smear them all over the screens of the poor, goldfish-memory-having lusers. I guess the old adage is true - the bigger they are, the harder they fall.
This is Slashdot. We all know Microsoft does shit like this. It's pretty much in their business model. Make default/light apps suck. Bait them toward payed solutions under their own control (i.e. outlook). Profit!
Also make those apps suck, because....more profit?
The point of Facebook *is* to "connect people". So is Twitter, so is the global telephone network and the Internet itself.You can't sue a telephone company for facilitating campaign calls that were headed by foreign operatives, can you? What about facilitating voice calls that coordinated an assassination? Facebook essentially is the same thing - a medium. It's hard for me to say it but I agree with Facebook. The fault lies in said operatives (and the users' gullibility, unfortunately) IMHO. Don't kill the messenger.
There are much better examples of those who are causing the U.S. tremendous loss, starting with the loud mouth who's simply causing controversy to divert attention from his own unlawful activities (READ: PLURAL).
Fucking rodeo clown, that guy. His presidency will be remembered as the rest of his life will be - a fat, cheap, narcissistic scam artist completely out of line with the vast majority of the people he "represents".
I'm assuming the poster would be in charge of the questions? That seems like something not everyone would buy into/have time for. Though if trolling is a problem it's a good investment. Reddit could use something like that but it'd be difficult given their post types (how can you make a legit question about an animated gif of a girl falling off a roof?)
Even seemingly irrelevant content. This day in (the WWW's) age gives no excuses beyond being too lazy to update legacy websites and platforms. It should be the default everywhere and there should be a GOOD reason to transfer anything unencrypted.
Altering the way a basic copy+paste function works is really not something I want, even if good intentioned. Why not just create a plugin that users can opt-in to instead? I rarely use Chrome (Pale Moon user here) but what they're doing sows a bit more distrust in them for me personally.
I'm assuming it's the latter as the CRB likely doesn't have the right to renegotiate artist/label contracts. Which means the record labels are simply going to be cashing in more. Hopefully they won't pull any bullshit like adjusting rates accordingly so artists still get as much of a percentage as before, and artists will benefit equally (whatever that means, given the atrociously low percentages artists get for their works).
Slashdot Mirror
What is really ironic to me is that YouTube is a VIDEO site. Why it is such a popular place to discover music is beyond me.
bad bot.
Well they did say 'RIAA' and not 'artist' monetization.

Slashdot editors need to remember journalism class. Next we'll see, "NVidia releases new drivers, and you won't guess what Linus did next!"
f.app ...hahahahaha

Note that it was x86 Windows install, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

I'm talking about software updates.

This was the same deal with the Wii.

"bad actors who deliberately build a secret blind spot" - Reminds me of Robocop's "Directive 4". I dunno why.
I remember hearing about this explanation in elementary school, 25 years ago.
I agree about the bad parts of their advertiser/"partner" strategy but I'm talking about the point of Facebook for users.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Minds.com, a social network created with top priorities being user privacy and freedom.
