  1. I did not know I am a bot on 'Captain Marvel' Smashes Box Office Record, Laughs Off Review-Bombing Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I voted I did not wanted to see. Rotten tomatoes changed 47K do not want to see votes to "liked it". So much for credibility.

  2. Do they really need bad press? on US Users Are Leaving Facebook by the Millions, Research Says (marketplace.org) · · Score: 1

    The chap app is annoying and gives more publicity every day it is passing, and even is construed in such a way for you to see movies or other functionalities by mistake.
    The feed is annoying, and they try to change it and fight regularly plugins/app filtering it; they also invent news ways of spamming us, like "a donate bottom"....
    So little wonder people is leaving....

  3. Re:It's about preservation on More People Bought Physical CDs and Vinyl Than Songs on iTunes Last Year (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    interesting. Artificial aging studies in the past established CDs with 15-20 years had a high probability of having bit-rot, or have I dreamed that?

  4. Re:It's about preservation on More People Bought Physical CDs and Vinyl Than Songs on iTunes Last Year (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    What presentation? CDs are a bit of ugly plastic that take valuable real estate space both at the store and at your home. and let's not get started on their negative impact/ ecologic footprint.

  5. Re: They forgot the most important new feature: Co on Linux 5.0 Released (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you been so brainwashed that you do not distinguish between the definition of censorship and being nice?

  6. Re:They forgot the most important new feature: CoC on Linux 5.0 Released (phoronix.com) · · Score: 2

    Does it needs to be asked? He is not mentally ill, he is an opinionated jerk.

  7. You did not got the business model on Shared Scooters Don't Last Long (substack.com) · · Score: 2

    The business model is not getting the money from passengers, is from cronyism getting government grants.Your money.

  8. Re:This just in... on US Bars Lithium-ion Batteries From Passenger Aircraft Cargo (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey, suck it up and pay attention to the flight entertainment system.
    Do not forget to pay attention to our shitty selection of paid movies.

  9. It you are running ELK on Elasticsearch Clusters Face Attacks From Multiple Hacker Groups (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    You should know better than directly exposing Elastic search/ELK to the Internet, if at all.
    Even in internal enterprise deployments, you should know better than not listening only to 127.0.0.1, and sanitising the inputs on the frontend, and not allowing people to query them at will abusing the frontends.
    But hey, common sense seems to be a commodity nowadays....

  10. Here it is also big business getting government grants for going green, windmills and whatever.
    Pity it is only a short term facade to get the nails on government money.
    But hey, easy money and guaranteed money coming in, in a kosher capitalist way. Long live cronyism.

  11. I would use PaleMoon if it were not from the project promoting adverts in the browser.

  12. Re:Randomized hostnames on Chrome Should Get 'Extremely Fast' at Loading a Whole Lot of Web Pages (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    In that case it blocks the solution is blocking the entire domain.
    However, that does not stop some more shady sites using randomized domains on the last couple of years. For those special kind of idiots, the only solution is doing DNS whitelisting on the browser or layer 7 firewalling at the client side.

  13. Sad world on BlackBerry Sues Twitter For Patent Infringement (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    When blackberry has to resort to copyright troll to survive.

  14. Is it legal? ;-P on The Cassette Returns On a Wave of Nostalgia (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Cassetes seem the tool of devil allowing DRM circumvention. Think of the pirates!
    Outlaw the possession of cassetes with capital dead of the owner and his dog.

  15. Re:8 years later same conclusion: Service not pric on Studies Keep Showing That the Best Way To Stop Piracy Is To Offer Cheaper, Better Alternatives (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    We are having this discussion all the time, to be more correct.

  16. Have you been living in a cave all those years? Try to flip the channels of any cable operator any time of the day, and good luck into not finding a feminist series or movie broadcasting.

  17. Rotten Tomatoes took down the *negative* score, which was pretty lame of them, and makes me think where more they are lying.
    They only display: 16K want to see....How about the other 50K-60K, where are they....? Shady
    As for the title of thread, those are not *fake* reviews. They are more a political statement we want guys films for guys films back, and not films as a political statement of whatever "repressed" demographic that is on vogue to portray.

  18. vote with your wallet on Starbucks' Music Is Driving Employees Nuts (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    I already avoid cloth stores, malls and supermarkets that blast music. I am going shopping, not to a disco. Sometimes if I really need to buy something, I might endure it for a short while, but I am out of there really fast. They could get me to buy more things if I had stayed there a bit longer.
    As far coffee shop stores that blast music, I can avoid them pretty well, thank you.

  19. Well, it sucks seeing the same multi-million dollar faces in every fucking movies and all of the stories been distorted on some crazy success formula that always has to have an happy ending.
    Pretty much all Hollywood movies seem some crazy variation or juxtaposition of old movies.
    And about the same "multi-million" omnipresent faces....is there such shortage of talented people in the states?....meh.

    TLDR Some foreign shit seems better because of are tired of seeing the same "Hollywood winning formula" and the same fuckers in pretty much all movies. Some change is refreshing.
    TLDR2 "The Wandering Earth" is done in all the imitating glory of Holywood garbage, just not the same usual idiots.

  20. Re:backwards on YouTube Videos Could Get Demonetized If They Have 'Inappropriate Comments' · · Score: 1

    Easy, youtube is getting new employees for free...

  21. Re: Of course Brin & company will... on YouTube Videos Could Get Demonetized If They Have 'Inappropriate Comments' · · Score: 1

    So you are a dick, and have no qualms talking about it. Seems fair.

  22. Re:Stupid Germans and British on Britain and Germany Will Not Ban Huawei, Citing Lack of Spying Evidence (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Cisco, Microsoft and Intel also have been documented doing things. What rant do you plan to write as an AC about that?

  23. Re:Software can Mitigate, it may not be able to cu on Google Researchers Say Software Alone Can't Mitigate Spectre Chip Flaws (siliconrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    If the examples of the successive failed patches are anything to judge, software it not the solution. But any person with half a brain knows that from day one.

  24. Re:Clever business model on Netflix Cancels The Punisher and Jessica Jones, Ending its Marvel Shows (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I was more clever. Did the trial, loved the interfaces, loved having a Nteflix pretty much everywhere, including one native to my smartTV....but whilst the interface is very user friendly, the film library is old and sucks ass.

    So, best thing I did was cancelling the trial.

    The only attractive content to capture new customers is their "Netflix" series, and if they are cutting on that...good luck on that.

  25. Re:Sad that others went as well on Netflix Cancels The Punisher and Jessica Jones, Ending its Marvel Shows (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    And apparently, also got the "correct sex" in the 2nd series, where at the end of the series it is revealed the star of the show is a woman. Ugh!
