  1. Re:And there was much rejoicing on KDE Plasma 5.13 Released (kde.org) · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but the Linux flagship desktop offering is ChromeOS. Not Gnome or KDE.

    Millions of school kids use ChromeOS every day.

  2. Major Release for Ryzen 2200g and 2400g on Linux 4.17 Released (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The 4.16rc series and now hopefully 4.17 are HUGE major releases if you want to actually use AMD's APUs in the Ryzen 3 2200g and Ryzen 5 2400g.

    Essentially, those AMD CPUs were worthless (when using on chip APU) until very recently with Linux if you want to run even the most basic 3D games.

    You need to also use Mesa 18.2:

  3. Youtube Un-boxers on Amazon Is Banning People For Making Too Many Returns (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There are people on YouTube who have channels devoted to unboxing Amazon items that they clearly have no intention of ever keeping.

    Many of the reviews are truly low on content because you can tell the person has unboxed his/her 50th item that day, and they don't have the energy or knowledge to say anything of value.

    Amazon isn't in the business of allowing these people to profit from free returns.

    You need to give up on Slashdot.org. Slashdot has long since been over run with the worst moronic right wing global warming deniers and the lowest IQ types imaginable.

    Slashdot.org is dead to anyone who values facts and science.

  5. The classic Science = Propaganda defense. Worth of a true Trumpian Birther.

    An oldie but a goody.

    No only moronic global warming deniers don't take stories like this seriously.

    The people who realize that 1/3 of Florida will be underwater by the year 2100 given 3 degrees in temperature rise are apparently smarter than you.

  7. Re:Bullshit on Scientists Calculate Carbon Emissions of Your Sandwich (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bullshit to your bullshit. You don't appear to read or know very much on the subject.

    Do a simple good search: "when will Florida be underwater".

    By 2100, and with 2 meters of global sea rise, and 3 degrees of Celcius increase in temps, one third of Florida will be underwater.

    Tell that to the people of Florida, when they are underwater in the not too distant future.

    Ok, don't listen to the podcast. Go to google. You can probably handle that. Type in "women not allowed to read".

    Yes, Conservativism has always been about asserting the supposed inferiority of women.

    That is why the whack job "conservative" who is the current President of the USA has like 2 women in his cabinet.

    In the middle ages, Conservatives prevented women from learning how to read.

  15. Re:The is the first concrete thing I've seen done on Trump Administration Officially Delays 'Startup Visa' Rule (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except every other civilized country in the world has free socialized healthcare.
    Because those countries unlike the stupid red neck Republican base realize that there is no such thing as a free market for healthcare.
    Only the blood sucking, callous Republican base live in the fantasy world that healthcare shouldn't be regulated.

    The members of those clubs must be clones of Donald Trump (or any typical Republican): ignorant, selfish, vampires who care only for themselves.

  17. Re:Why does this have the Republican icon? on Reddit Bans Far-Right Groups Altright and Alternativeright (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Because the leader of the Republican Party, Donald Trump, is an insane white nationalist. Or maybe he just has them as personal advisors.

  18. Re: Nah... on George Orwell's '1984' Tops Amazon's Bestseller List (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    The problem is that Trump is mentally ill. It's not that he lies. He lies are so transparent that it's obvious that he is either senile or demented.

    Trump is mentally ill. He is fcking insane. Lost touch with reality. Major parts of every speech he has given has shown to packed full of lies.

    Obviously, there is nothing that makes a black person not count as black.

    Clarence Thomas is a disgrace to every black person who fought and died in the civil rights movement. His history on the supreme court is travesty for the rights of the individual man against corporate power.

    The point is that Ben Carson is one person of color in a Whites-Only House. We could talk about stupid the guy is. How he recently said in his confirmation hearing: "It will not be my intention to do anything that will benefit any American." We could talk about his apparent belief that the pyramids of Egypt were used to store grain. But we won't.
