Same, very libertarian-leaning (I recognize the need for SOME services, so I guess I'm not exactly a "pure libertarian"). It's so weird b/c there are a LOT of things I disagree with Trump on, but whoa, don't let me disagree with certain liberals on things or I'm automatically a trump-tard, or Uncle Tom, or whatever other insult-of-the-day there is to be thrown at me.
Very insightful stuff. Out curiosity, what are your thoughts on formally recognizing the Sol/Jupiter binary system -- it's barycenter being outside of the Sun entirely? All of this terminology just goes so many levels deep...fun stuff haha.
It's hard to say without coming across all conspiracy nut, though.
Because people have been trained to think that anything less than total and absolute trust of those in power and any thinking outside the box is stuffs of tin-foil-hat-wearers -- and even when concrete evidence is presented a large majority either does not care or thinks there is nothing wrong (see Snowden revelations). We're all fucked.
That's the idea. 2% of users fund 70% of IAP gross, or whatever it is. 80% spend absolutely zero. Asspull numbers, but the idea is in line. That's not the important part anyway.
What's important is you fly a technically-factual headline to inflate the idea that "$40/yr is normal" and encourage it to catch on.
Same. As an old Opera Presto lover, Vivaldi was a welcome addition to the scene. I've been using it since 2015, trying to help with finding bugs and testing new snapshots. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of Opera =version 12.
Mr. Chaffetz (for himself and Mr. Goodlatte) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary, and in addition to the Select Committee on Intelligence (Permanent Select), for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned
The Senate bill, S.1212, was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Wyden a day later -- basically a carbon copy of the House bill. Also: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/...
HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON CRIME, TERRORISM, AND HOMELAND SECURITY OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ONE HUNDRED TWELFTH CONGRESS SECOND SESSION ON H.R. 2168... "Mr. Sensenbrenner. Thank you very much, and I want to thank all of the witnesses for making their statements within the time limit, that is not what usually happens around here. The Chair will defer asking questions and will begin by recognizing the author of this bill, the gentleman from Utah, Mr. Chaffetz.'
No, it is not the exception. It is systematic. Democrats did indeed impose many anti-tech rules. The is no reason to stand up for them.
Other than being a partisan HACK, that is...
Only when people look out for what is best for them despite party lines, and get out of this "us vs. them" mindset, will progress ever be made -- i.e., never. In fact, that's what is being counted on.
Agreed, and in fact it's the ONLY instance I find NetworkManager useful. Luckily I only use Linux on the desktop these days, and the move to systemd only reinforced my love for FreeBSD on the server that's been strong for several years already (before systemd was a thing).
No. Causing thousands of persons to waste a few minutes of their life is not the same as killing somebody! For one thing their is no individual subject to extreme suffering. Your mind is warped, emotion driven, and cruel if you think a murderer and a spammer deserve the same punishment. Hey reading your comment wasted a lot of people's time how are you going to compensate them? Should makers of bad movies be convicted of murder too? You are a sicko if you want people killed for spamming you.
I'm at a loss as to how GP is even arguing this with a straight face. Really? The taking of someone's life is the equivalent of spamming tf out of millions of people? We are so fucked, as a species.
There's a VERY important difference, however. I think it's more about getting this shit fucking correct. Even TFA spells it out properly...not sure how that was missed in TFS. Oh, Slashdot, you keep me young.
It's so frustratingly infuriating to be wide tf awake in a world where people would rather stick their heads in the ground and be ruled-over. People, WAKE. THE FUCK. UP.
So, this is what I don't get. Why aren't ALL OF US mad at BOTH PARTIES? Instead of always pointing the finger with "see, you guys do it too and or did it first!" I'll never understand why the latter is always the case. We all get fucked in the end, do we not?
Lol! If you're still using Dropbox after Snowden's revelations (I never used them, FWIW), you deserve this. Seriously, network your own box and install Owncloud, or whatever other "cloud" shit interface you need -- if simply rsync'ing files to a headless box is to technical for whoever needs the data.
Disclaimer: I don't know all the use cases of Dropbox and I know some are forced to use it...you guys are cool, I guess.
I sat here trying to research the factuality of GP's statement -- going back to Learjets from my many, many hours of flight time on various MS FS installs and the accompanying nerd-knowledge on takeoff/landing distances I gained during those years. Damn I miss playing that game. Maybe I'll check it out on Steam.
In short, my inner flight-geek say "thanks for this!":)
...Besides, you can keep the Java plugin disabled and enable it only when you're gona use it, can't you?
Sure, but that only would only matter if I used FF by default. I simply keep it around almost exclusively for the purpose of the needed Java applets (I do use it in instances in which websites only don't seem to work in Vivaldi AND Chrome -- which incidentally, happened today). I do basically entirely blame the vendor, however, so there's that, heh.
I am one of those people who work in IT who have a VM w/FF running for necessary FUCKING JAVA applets. Fuck Java man. But on a related note, I don't use Chrome, but rather a Chromium-derivative (Vivaldi)...same difference really, I suppose.

He just missed placing sarcasm tags -- or you just got severely WHOOSH'd

How you made the jump from "I've spent $0 on apps..." to "fuck developers" is beyond me. Triggered?
That's the idea. 2% of users fund 70% of IAP gross, or whatever it is. 80% spend absolutely zero. Asspull numbers, but the idea is in line. That's not the important part anyway.

Interesting how that works, no?
This is a phenomenal idea, specifically referring to the password, haha.
A combo of uBlock Origin and uMatrix works phenomenally for me...NEVER see a YouTube add (on desktop/laptop).
Same. As an old Opera Presto lover, Vivaldi was a welcome addition to the scene. I've been using it since 2015, trying to help with finding bugs and testing new snapshots. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of Opera =version 12.
Seriously though, think of the children.
And let's dispense with this "bipartisan bill" bullshit.
This bill was authored by Democrats, and one republican helped sponsor it. That does not make it a "bipartisan effort" in any real sense of the word.
Just so you know, you're actually wrong...though I wouldn't think that'll stop you from your nonsensical crusade.

I was going to post this exact same thing. Just what in the actual fuck is he trying to say here...?

Came here to make this reply -- though I'd discount the impact of whoever tf ended up being president. These would be coming true regardless.
