  1. Re:More than that on Ajit Pai Backs Out of Planned CES 2018 Appearance (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1

    So much for that oversized Reeses mug.

  2. Options exist to live dangerously on Intel Memory Access Design Flaw Partially Addressed by Apple in macOS 10.13.2 [Unconfirmed] (macrumors.com) · · Score: -1

    Linux does offer the option to disable, whether by boot loader or by manually patching out the flag.

  3. Google wants to become Apple. on Android Oreo's Rollback Protection Will Block OS Downgrades (androidpolice.com) · · Score: -1

    Not only do you have the problem of SafetyNet, you also have the problem of them forcing an update.

  4. Bullshit. on Workers: Fear Not the Robot Apocalypse (wsj.com) · · Score: -1

    The author hasn't had to deal with being on the wrong side of it.

  5. The more unlocked bootloaders, the better.

    That said, it'd be better if Google made it possible for custom roms to pass SafetyNet/CTS - instead of having it act as obsolescence enforcement.

  6. Government staying out of the way. on Rural America Is Building Its Own Internet Because No One Else Will (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    As long as the government doesn't interfere, there's no problem in it.

  7. If you want NN, add Platform Neutrality to it. on One Day Left To Comment on the FCC's Plan To Kill Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    Trying to silence someone on a major platform is just as bad as Comcast doing the same with fast lanes.

  8. This is why we have expensive phones. on Ask Slashdot: Is Leasing a Smartphone Better Than Buying One? (cnbc.com) · · Score: 0

    If leasing has to be an option for a *phone*, there should be no surprise about them breaking $1000+.

  9. They need but won't get it on Facebook Pages Spreading Fake News Won't Be Able To Buy Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1

    Good luck on that. CNN could say that the sky is not blue and they'd still get a clean bill of health.

  10. They're not even outsourcing on Facebook Pages Spreading Fake News Won't Be Able To Buy Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    Facebook and Snopes are functionally the same entity with respect to fact-checking.

    Naturally, this bit of truth offended the resident Trigglypuffs here on /.

  11. Re:Snopes isn't fact checking on Facebook Pages Spreading Fake News Won't Be Able To Buy Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's not about fact, but about pushing the PC narrative.

  12. They're not even outsourcing on Facebook Pages Spreading Fake News Won't Be Able To Buy Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    Facebook and Snopes are functionally the same entity.

  13. They're neither "outside" nor "fact-checkers" on Facebook Pages Spreading Fake News Won't Be Able To Buy Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Since the people vetting the ads are almost all leftists, it'd be easy for them to decree something as non-fact.

    They're vetting themselves.

  14. Let's hope not. on Could AI Transform Continuous Delivery Development? (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    AI is enough of a problem, why make it worse?

  15. The only "jackbooted thugs" are the ones in black masks and hoodies.

  16. N/T

  17. I'll keep to the steering wheel and pedals.

  18. Have the BLM and Antifa follow. on Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer Moves To Dark Web After Shutdown (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Hatred is not magically cleansed by ideology or modbombing conservatives.

  19. One more reason to favor current-day cars. on A 2:15 Alarm, 2 Trains and a Bus Get Her To Work by 7 AM (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    You're not tied to a bus schedule or bad routing.

  20. Self-donation shell game. on Gates Makes Largest Donation Since 2000 With $4.6 Billion Pledge (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    There's no donation, just a move-around.

  21. Intel hates America. News at 11. on Intel CEO Exits President Trump's Manufacturing Council (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Intel has now shown that their commitment to America is just to provide a PR piece.

  22. Re:Meet the new judge on No Cash For Hate, Say Mainstream Crowdfunding Firms (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    Not sure where you live, but the right to be a murderer is not established in American law.

    The Clinton family would happily convince you otherwise with their long trail of bodies.

  23. Then why do BLM/Antifa get funding? on No Cash For Hate, Say Mainstream Crowdfunding Firms (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    They express hatred in a near identical way.

  24. Have the BLM and Antifa follow. on Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer Moves To Dark Web After Shutdown (vice.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hatred is not magically cleansed by ideology.

  25. So you support violent Leftism? on Cloudflare is the One Tech Company Still Sticking By Neo-Nazi Websites (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You mean like George Soros, the one that's bankrolling the leftist groups - in Berkeley, Charlottesville, and other places?
