  1. Time to move on on Adobe's Next Major Creative Cloud Release Won't Support Older OSes (petapixel.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Windows 7 extended support ends in January 2020, less than 18 months away. Developing for one OS simplifies the code base and lets the dev take advantage of newer features - like how certain Adobe products can use Directx12 and render on both the dedicated and integrated GPU.

  2. Re:Because it is the only uncensored news source on Evidence is Piling Up That Facebook Can Incite Racial Violence (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 0

    That should be 'not to paint an **un**pretty picture'. Darn lack of edit or delete function.

  3. Because it is the only uncensored news source on Evidence is Piling Up That Facebook Can Incite Racial Violence (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    The mainstream media in many countries is heavily biased to the left - probably because people think you need to go to University to become a journalist, where people are then influenced by Neo-Marxist leftist professors and faculty.

    The mass sexual assaults in Cologne during 2015 NYE - the mainstream media deliberately didn't report that until two days after the event!

    Plus you have situations like Sweden deliberately not collecting the ethnicity of criminals in their statistics, so as not to paint a pretty picture.

    Even on many subreddits, news which paints migrants in a bad light is deleted by moderators. The news that South Africa would seize White farms was deleted by many moderators on popular news subreddits.

    Facebook is the only source left in many cases.

  4. Conservatives vs Liberals on Facebook is Rating Users Based On Their 'Trustworthiness' (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've noticed that when commenting on friends' posts or public posts from political parties, messages supporting conservative parties or criticising Islam or immigration tend to be filtered out, whereas liberal comments or support are in the 'top filtered' section.

  5. If Valve really wants Developers to support Linux on Valve Seems To Be Working On Tools To Get Windows Games Running On Linux (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They should charge a 15% commission for all games launched on that OS, down from their normal 30%.

    They do. Buy Apple.

  7. 6500K streetlights on Chemists Discover How Blue Light Speeds Blindness · · Score: 0

    Are definitely a bad idea. When do the lawsuits start against cities that installed them?

  8. Re:Or, ya know... cut human overpopulation? on Planet At Risk of Heading Towards Irreversible 'Hothouse Earth' State (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    We also need to give up the stupid idea that we can have the elderly sitting around for decades doing nothing, burning up resources.

    We need a Logan's Run situation, where you are happily euthanised when you reach old age.

  9. Re:XKCDs timeline is quite horrific looking on Planet At Risk of Heading Towards Irreversible 'Hothouse Earth' State (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Do breed: If you're intelligent and have good ethics, future Earth is going to need more of you to solve the problem.

    The breeding issue is mainly Africans, South Asians and West Asians. Those are the hottest, poorest, least productive and most overpopulated areas of the planet, and precisely the places where we don't need more humans.

    An American, East Asian or European with an IQ of 120+, university educated, intellectually liberal and scientifically literate? We need billions of them to keep our society running and to solve future challenges.

  10. Only OK if it had Usb-C jack on Apple's 2018 iPhones Are Rumored To Not Include Headphone Dongle In the Box (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't mind dropping the headphone jack - but I'm not going to buy headphones just for use on an iPhone, that I can't use with my laptop/PC.

    So I've stuck with the iPhone 6S, and will just have to hope that it never breaks.

  11. The point of this move is to put pressure on Google to decrease the 30% commission. It really is too high, and should be reduced to at most 15%.

  12. UBI OK if no voting and reproduction rights on Canada's Ontario Government Ends Basic Income Project (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: -1

    UBI is ok as long as those on it don't have voting or reproduction rights.

    Otherwise whats to stop people from simply voting to increase the UBI, or for the UBI-dependent population to reproduce and overwhelm the productive population?

  13. The less processed food eaten, the better on Facebook Forced To Block 20,000 Posts About Snack Food Conspiracy After PepsiCo Sues, Says Report (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For all its many faults, India at least has great food, much of it vegetarian. Why would you eat processed corn crap when you have so much else available?

  14. EU ruling will speed this up on Project 'Fuchsia': Google is Quietly Working on a Successor To Android (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    Android is getting stunk on all directions: Fragmentation, lack of support and ease of use is leading customers to Apple on the high end Bloated memory requirements are leading 3rd worlders to KaiOS on the low-end Now the EU via this ruling and GDPR means you cannot take the mid-end's personal data and sell ads against it Google needs a new and more optimised, closed source mobile OS, that is updated directly by them and architecturally does not even give carriers or manufacturers the opportunity to use anything other than Google apps.

  15. Re:Don't fall for the attempt to divert from issue on Google Warns Android Might Not Remain Free Because of EU Decision (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    The public doesn't care about open source, or even know what it means. Android should just shut down AOSP, since then they are not technically preventing companies from selling forked versions of it. Then make Android so closed and restricted that it would be impossible for phone makers to separate out the Google services. This would help with fragmentation as a side effect.

  16. The EU has no tech industry on EU Regulators Fine Google Record $5 Billion in Android Case (reuters.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    So it will gladly fine and tax the hell out of the American one. Business complain about the costs of paying for healthcare insurance for their workers in the USA; Look at the social security taxes paid in the EU, paid by both employers and employees, plus high income taxes and high VAT. Europe taxes everything to death.

  17. How much spectrum will this free up? on Verizon Confirms That It Will No Longer Activate 3G Phones (droid-life.com) · · Score: 1

    How much of Verizon's spectrum is currently allocated to 3G? How much will this move free up for its 4G and future 5G networks?
