  1. If he's a celebrity, a few thousand dumbasses will care.
    Otherwise, no. Nobody cares.

  2. Re:just like everything else on Sprint Sues AT&T Over 5G Branding (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    But 720p is less problematic than 1080i. I've stopped counting the number of times I've seen bad de-interlacing on live TV years ago.

    If you ask me, 1080i is not HD either. Why they kept fucking interlaced formats when switching to digital, I'll never understand. What a bunch of dumbasses.

  4. AT&T is calling it 5G Evolution on Sprint Sues AT&T Over 5G Branding (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And I'm calling it "5G dumbasses".

    They should call it "4G E", for "4G enhanced" and it would probably be okay with everyone involved.

  5. But Chrome is not an OS-level media player. It's a web browser.

    What happens if I press the [Play] key on my keyboard? It should start iTunes, but it will also start the 20 YouTube tabs I have opened all at the same time?

    What kind of dumbasses makes these decisions at Google?

  6. Re:google is the new dolt of the town. on Google Chrome 73 To Officially Support Multimedia Keys on Your Keyboard (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I hate playlists. I usually open a few tabs with the videos I want to play on YouTube. If they implement this, it will interfere with the way I use YouTube and also with the way I use iTunes.

    Google are making a lot of dumbass decisions lately. I sure hope we can disable this bullshit.

  7. YouTube is only good for finding that one song you want. If you rely on playlists made by other people, you're a tool.

    Which explains why you think this is a good idea, dumbass.

  8. I thought GPS used satellites, and smartphones used both GPS and cell towers, not magnetic north. WTF is all that bullshit?

  9. I got used to everything being blamed on climate change.

    Your phone bill just got more expensive? Climate change.

    Nobody knows what's at the center of the Earth [...]

    That's not true. There has been many Hollywood-financed expeditions since 1959.

  13. Package manager? on Homebrew 2.0 is Here With Official Support For Linux and Windows (brew.sh) · · Score: 1

    I thought installing applications on a Mac was simply "copy the directory and your software is installed". Why the fuck would you need a package manager on Mac?

  14. Wow, I thought we were about to talk about the other 3D printer from about a week ago, the one that separates the layers with a different light frequency instead of an oxygen barrier.

    I'm impressed with this new one.

  15. When microcomputers came out in the late 1970's, they were hyped a lot more than 3D printers were in 2009. And look where we are almost five decades later.

  16. Yes it's all printed "in one go" but it's still printed in layers, just like a movie is a series of still images.

    What a bunch of dumbasses.

  17. All they do is either make sure they don't work like any other browser ever created, or they simply copy Chrome as much as they can.

    They've become the GIMP of the browser world.

  18. If they really had a limited workforce, they would not be wasting time messing around with the damn interface and trying to add things that have no place in a fucking web browser.

  19. Firefox keeps abusing their users by imposing interface and functionality changes even with a minority marketshare. I can't imagine what they would do with a 99% market share.

  20. Insert whatever job you want in his quote, I think his point was that there is too many companies pushing kids into coding and not enough into other kinds of jobs.

    What's going to happen in a few years when there's 100 times as many programmers as there are jobs? Apple, Microsoft, Google and Amazon are simply pushing kids into coding so that they may lower the pay checks of those future programmers. Don't like our ten dollars per hour rate? Fine, there's 99 other idiots next in line for that job.

    Then again, maybe he repeated some other quote he read and I'm now victim of the illusion of knowledge myself?

    The last time I used Crackle, the selection was not even 1/100 of what Netflix Canada has in their library. And I only saw three different ads, in blocks of two ads at a time, five times during the movie. I think ads are annoying, but seeing the same ad two times in a row is even more annoying.

  25. Rometty said "I think businesses have to believe I'll hire for skills, not just their degrees or their diplomas. [...] Because these technologies are changing faster with times than their skills are going to change. So it is causing this skill crisis. [...] You would have to have new pathways that don't all include college education and you would have to have respect for that job -- not blue collar or white collar, I call it new collar."

    She keeps talking about skills and then calls this new class of employees "new collar" instead of "skills collar".

    What a dumbass.
