  1. Re:ACLU!?! on Apple's Security Expert Joined the ACLU To Tackle 'Authoritarian Fever' (vice.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sounds like a snowflake is offended.

  2. Re:I use a new service on Slashdot Asks: Which Mobile Payment Service Is Best For You? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I try to put as least as possible on my debit card, most everything I pay cash too... no credit card, and the absolute minimum goes to my bank for the privilege of accessing my own fucking money.

  3. Re:some have no smartphone on Slashdot Asks: Which Mobile Payment Service Is Best For You? (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Guess what, not everyone has a smartphone, he or she is right. I had one for a bit over a year, starting in 2017 (yes, I'm a millenial-neanderthal that waited this long to get one) and I don't anymore. My life is still doing fine, believe it or not.

  4. TFS summary states that these "are all minor releases that simply offer a few bug fixes and security updates, with no new features", how is it anti-Apple bias to decry this insignificant non-story? Keep your shilling for when it's relevant, maybe?

  5. Re:Why? on Uber is Exploring Autonomous Bikes and Scooters (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I live in a big city with rental bicycles everywhere. I can't imagine someone just abandoning one of them somewhere instead of the designated stations. especially when your name is attached to the card that unlocked the bike in the first place. Seems the problem here is that the users are americans.

  6. Re: Why? on Uber is Exploring Autonomous Bikes and Scooters (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course a city needs easy, efficient transportation. The idea of autonomous bikes and scooters going around is an absolutely unnecessary nightmare to conjure up.

  7. Re:Why? on Uber is Exploring Autonomous Bikes and Scooters (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You're absolutely correct, I live in a big, metropolitan city where people aren't so fucking misadapted that they'd leave rental vehicles abandoned all over the place.

  8. Why? on Uber is Exploring Autonomous Bikes and Scooters (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who needs this? Who is asking for this? What is the problem that this is trying to solve? I guess my point is what the fuck is wrong with these people?

  9. No worries, in a couple months time, he'll be a Deezer like ALL of us!

  10. Seems something has just wooshed quite high above your head.

    Mostly that they'll pay next month's fee as well to watch the next big thing, ie. keep those eyeballs' subscriber money.

  12. Congrats, you're part of the problem.

    One day, yes. When it can run Windows programs.

  14. Re:Novelty on Intel Core i9-9990XE: Up To 5.0 GHz, Auction Only (anandtech.com) · · Score: 2

    That's pretty much it. If I want a lot of power, instead of showing off the money I don't have, AMD would get my choice from now on.

    Who the hell was expecting A New Nvidia Shield Tablet Anytime Soon?

  16. Re: A giant scanning radar beam? on Astronomers Discover 13 New Fast Radio Bursts From Deep Space (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 1

    The point of a radar is to find out what's out there, you don't build a big honking radar array if you already know what the radar will show you.

  17. Yes, this is about Americans. But what about the national parks?

    Pretty sure OP was joking. If not, then it's even funnier.

    Nevermind the pixel count, where is the 8k content for this?

  20. Welcome to the real world?

  21. Right, because people can't make their own minds without ThE MeDiA!1!, uh? There's a lot of reasons to despise the church beyond its rampant pedophilia.

  22. To be fair, those foster parents are shitty enough to get the kid a goddamn Alexa.

  23. Re:In the City of the Dead on Apple Spins 'Real Artists Ship' Into 'Share Your Gifts' · · Score: 1

    Why do you keep posting that?

  24. Come on, you know what the poster meant. That old RC race car may just be sitting on a shelf, but you can still put batteries in and drive it around. Not so 5 years at most after you buy some mobile-connected RC car of today.

  25. How much do you think your experience applies to most other industries? Dead-end, rank-and-file office jobs, service industry, shit-scooping industry, retail, etc. I guarantee you the ratio of crappy managers is higher there and it's usually not because they're trying to do right. Most people are broken, give them power and they'll break other people.
