    We have gender neutral emojis.. Who cares about the IT side of things. ffs.. the world should burn.

  3. Re:Straight from wikipedia on Scientists May Have Discovered a New Fundamental Particle: Sterile Neutrino (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    AFAIK, the Higgs Field imparts mass or gravity.. not sure which. Somewhere in there is the idea of the graviton as the particle that comes from the higgs field.

  6. Re:That is completely false on Apple Deprecates OpenGL and OpenCL in macOS 10.14 Mojave · · Score: 2

    Meanwhile in the real world, software development houses don't fucking jump over themselves to pay for software updates that are forced upon them. Not to mention software that is no longer in development. Seriously there's several layers of ignorance in your post as to how software development works outside of someone's bedroom in the corporate and practical world. Apple has fucked up, stop making stupid excuses.

    Serious.. People are still using the 2 year old Doom game as validation for the success of Vulcan? Is it really that bad?

    Maybe, if you know, used a Windows PC that has never had issues with games then there would be nothing to moan about rather than sacrificing yourself on the altar of Linux. Lets the platform support you, not the other way around.

    That there's no games on the Mac that this will effect anyway

    Higg is a field, not a fundamental force. I know that sounds wanky, but there's only 4 fundamental forces and several fields.

  11. Is this The Sun or /. ?

  12. And I hope he fucks off back to America where he sells people's souls for the almighty dollar. Priorities over there are more aligned to ancient Romes elites than human rights

    The many worlds interpretation avoids all of that crap. As the original article says, it's not been completely proven that TT is impossible.

    I consider Star Trek The Motion Picture to be the best 'Trek movie every made.

  16. The context was given in the article when it mentioned that earlier experiments were single photons or atoms. 15 micrometers is very much "massive" compared to those.

  17. It already has two task apps on Design Commentary on Google's New To-Do Tasks App (pxlnv.com) · · Score: 1

    ..Google Keep and tasks built into Google Calendar Seriously, the way Google duplicates apps is a sign of a company with multiple personalities.

  18. Absolutely right. But in this day and age, everything has to be racist, sexist and ageist and everyone need to be offended so that people can virtue signal. Even if it has fuck all to do with any of those things.

  19. It's way beyond Siri. In fact non WaveNet powered Google Assistant is slightly better and less robotic than Siri

    After YouTube's recent shafting of small content creators using monetisation with fairly high subscriber and view thresholds, I would jump on this in a heartbeat.

  22. Just to be replaced by Google Fuchsia? on Chrome OS Is Almost Ready To Replace Android On Tablets (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    .. Not thanks.. It's an internet meme how fast Google creates new products then abandons them, or creates several competing products in the same space and then abandons all but one of them. The last 2 years this has accelerated and it's hard to trust them for anything medium term and commit to them.

  23. Re:Morons At Youtube. on YouTube Warns of 'Consequences' For Creators Who Misbehave (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    They have basically killed millions of monetized small content creators, including me due to thier new thresholds.

  24. Of course people have chosen to take this out of context because he's Bill Gates from Microsoft. We are so stuck in our psyche that our purpose for being is only to work to produce money that it's become a stigma to think we can exist to enjoy life. How about we allow machines to service us?

  25. He's so edgy, he's my hero. Bro he even read rocket science books.
