...that don't want companies building and laying lines all over their beautiful mountain landscapes. You and I can't live without Internet. Some think "yes I could," but no you can't; it's too late for us. Because of this created need, there's a lot of people bitching here for no reason at all that have never been to TN or even camping at all. What good are freedoms if there's no blank spots on the map. Do you know how messed up it is to have to go to a park as your only option to but still pick up wifi signals? I don't like dialup either, but some of us have family that remembers the TVA very well, and want to be left alone.
I became a Palemoon user a while back simply because Firefox stopped being worth a damn about half a year ago. It's too slow to open and uses WAY too much RAM. It even runs like crap on a new MacBook (dodges thrown vegetables). I think they put too much eye candy work into it rather than in performance. But, computers aren't actually getting much better as far as RAM and Gz are concerned in the last decade and probably won't if everything goes to cloud computing. You're going to pay outrageous prices for a 1.2 Gz 4 GB RAM tablet. Oh wait....lol.
...said no one with half a brain. Seriously, you should be required to pass an exam before you can legally revoke funding or change policies. That way, no politician can claim ignorance when hell breaks loose. Your typical political, science hating, Conservative: "Gawd got me here, and all I need is Jesus to whisper into my ear to affirm what Facebook friends, spam, advertisements and Twitter tell me and my church congregation that the Liberals, with their Satanic Latin "ology" slang (God speaks only country twangy KJV English), that they are out to ruin His great nationnnnnahh! His word is to be taken literally up until it's no longer convieniant. New Testament, new rules, new Covenant, except for Gays. And we all know statistics are tools of the Devilah! Your feelings never lie because the heart is where Gawd lives." ~The End~ Fun fact: early humans believed that your thoughts came from your heart before they knew what the brain was actually for, hence the huge amount of its ideological references to, including Christianity. But, that's a fact backed by history, psychology, and medical science and not ignorant (there's a difference between ignorance and stupidity) gut feelings, so I guess if it doesn't meet the 50+ politician criteria. Therefore, I'm wrong. We are all just no match for all those science classes Republican businessmen and preachers have to take.
And for the love of God, don't give me that they run Linux servers and htop nonsense. I know. -_- Cloud computing will be the death of desktop open source software.
They could of been more open source and Linux friendly, but thought that was stupid. Piracy via open source projects like Kodi add-ons is their fault. Is there an official add-on for these platforms on Kodi? Nope. When did Firefox start supporting those services for Linux? A few months go. Chrome is a bullshit option because they killed 32-bit almost two years ago and it's riddled with Google spyware. Chromium with Widevine works, but add-ons for Chrome anything sucks. Most web sites these days are slow as hell anyway with too much JavaScript and Flash everywhere. Kodi is much much faster and safer.
You ruined the digital camera; you make it easy for people to cheat on each other and helped create a "hookup" generation; you made it easy to join and impossible to leave (2 week waiting and peer pressure); everything that's posted on your servers is accessible as biometric data to intelligence agencies; your messaging app has been caught repeatedly listening to inaudible TV signals for "advertising"; you "now" monitor messages sent and despite all your crap, people idiotically trust WhatsApp; you are incredibly vague as to what Facebook actually is and it's to avoid from being accused as a monopoly, meanwhile millenials make "1984" jokes like their "cool and cultured" and still carry on with their face glued to their screens as if to say "oh well." You used to be a platform for college students (college email needed to join). Now, you cater to every idiot on the planet, including new parents making accounts for new-borns. You've become the new generation's World Trade Center. And despite what people are saying, you can never go bankrupt and you know it. People in FB will be "replaced" before the U.S. government allows it. Facebook has a net worth of 190 billion dollars; that's more than what is in Fort Knox.
http://www.minetest.net/. Also, if you like free and open source software, I got more links to some cool stuff here (not games): https://theouterlinux.com/rese...ðY"--/. I try to only list things that actually work with the most bang per byte and most are cross-platform. I'm also not a big fan of eye candy over functionality. If anyone has website suggestions to add to the open source info and archives section, I'd love to know. I need to add http://ibiblio.org/catalog/, for example.
That's because people that work with mainstream services live in a "we are awesome because we are new" fart bubble. Innovation is often the key to tricking the stupid. Mark tried to fix something that didn't break until the need for 64-bit was created to satisfy the young, eye candy, gamer, graphics people. Tech companies successfully "mainstreamed" 64-bit in the Linux community to get Linux users to buy something instead of holding on to their computers for 10-15 years. A have 9 year old laptop that is running a 32-bit PAE version of kernel 4.10 and new software like a champ. There's literally no other purpose Mir/Wayland serves but to act as an Xorg alternative for Linux 64-bit, video card sheep. Feel free to get mad at me if you're one of them. It took me years to realize it too. If I hate on mainstream, it's because I have these tools called memory, experience, and a healthy dose of justified paranoia. And while I may be "antisocial" by Mark's definition, what I see is needs being created and people getting trapped into something they can't get out of. And when us "antisocials" try to point that fact out, the person with a Facebook account that defines him/herself as "social" because of the "club of fake friends" they joined, they claim that "they don't get on that much" as to make their defeat/being whipped seem not so bad or nonexistent. You joined something you can never leave and created content that will never be destroyed; congratulations socialite. So may Mark enjoy his time in the clouds, destroying open source software by using open source software, but I plan on keeping my feet on the ground where I have actual control of my system and where the desktop is. I'm not going to be a part of the "develop for the cloud or get out of the way for those that will" trap. Does he expect everyone to own servers in the future or are we supposed to be ok with "you can look at our code, but don't touch?" At least open source cloud computing is nice enough to hand us scraps, aka an API. -_-
Its one of those protocols hardly anyone uses in relation towards IPv4. You can turn it off on your system and everything runs just fine. It doesn't matter how old it is, but the "neck massager" was never really meant for your neck. Know what I mean;) ? It was new and was supposed to be able to handle more web addresses. Cloud computing is getting worse, so maybe it'll get its use when we all have servers in our houses or maybe in our phones. You never know anymore. I still say cloud computing will destroy open source.
Proprietary companies that only love open source as long as it's used to save money (servers) or make money (steal code). They're just trying to get people to sign up for "free" except I'm sure you're incredibly limited on what you can do and I bet most of the license is geared towards finding cloud developers. This will destroy open source on the desktop, making it impossible to have any real freedom.
I didn't mean to make it sound like I was arguing, but I just wanted to cover my bases just in case someone else tried to start something. Also, I need to add for anyone reading this that Blender also has a built-in game engine.
My trust was broken as far back as Vista. I've been using nothing but UNIX based operating systems ever since and though it's been quite a learning experience to say the least, the headaches evolved are entirely my own fault for "playing around" rather than being caused by a corporation forcing them on me. I have a laptop that's about 9 years old running Linux kernel 4.10 32-bit PAE (for more RAM access) just fine with new software, no lag, and no weird privacy agreement because it's not only Linux, but because I made the distro myself. https://theouterlinux.com/psyc.... It does have a EULA though, but so does everyone else. It's OpenSUSE 13.2 based so please make sure to run the Upgrade script if you do install it (yast --> live installer). I'd correct the ISO by default, but SuseStudio killed OpenSUSE 13.2, so I had to make a script to fix repos and other things.
"Did someone say Linux Desktop?", as the Linux Foundation and Micro$oft's ears get a little pointier. I swear I hear about "cloud" way too much these days. Slashdot has gotten a lot better about that recently. Last year though...Jesus.
Now if we can just get people to realize XFCE is the best. GNOME is nothing but eye candy and doesn't really do anything special that a whisker menu, catfish, synapse combo can't. And, that combo is much faster, especially on older computers. Also, a lot of the panel items people try to hunt down for GNOME and Mate are already available by default in XFCE.
But why would you? Blender has been available for Linux since day one (1998) and runs on Python, so anything you do on Linux can be picked back up on someone else's computer regardless of what OS they're running. I doubt the Linux version of Maya (ten years younger) has the same features or fewer bugs than Blender. They haven't made a 32-bit version since 2008. Meanwhile, Blender for Linux still has 32-bit builds. It's also free and open source. Cycles rendering is amazing too and whatever the 64-bit version gets, the 32-bit version does as well, within reason; gpu works better in real time on 64-bit systems, but that's really it. An older system could do the same renders, but it would just take longer. There is just no reason to pay for something that you can get for free and you get to see what makes it tick. Blender > Autodesk Maya; GIMP > Photoshop; Inkscape > Adobe Illustrator (same shortcuts too); Krita > Autodesk SketchBook; DigiKam > Adobe Lightroom; so on and so forth, all still with 32-bit builds still available and regularly updated. The point is that there are options available in the open source world you won't find anywhere else.
You have any idea how much mobile device companies would lose from this? Car windshields? I kinda call bs on some of its applications because you'd still have to have the right equipment to do the repairing anyway, to which a 3rd party would void your warranty if a 3rd party could legally do the repair in the first place (cough cough Apple). So, if anything thing, phone makers save money on not buying glass and you still pay outrageous prices for something being labeled as "space-aged." The new "Velcro" or "memory foam."
Bring back drive-ins. The newer generation already thinks their grandparent's stuff is cool. It would work. You could even encourage hotels or camp grounds to build them to also increase travel industry.

After posting, I realized I kind of went on a rant for just a reply. I should of posted it as its own thread.

You put a bunch of hackers in a room with an electronic prize. Wouldn't it be beneficial to have it bugged from a gov perspective?
Self proclaimed top researchers at TheOuterLinux.com say that it's cool. See how that works?
