From the looks of Windows 10, they don't even have Quality Assurance reviewers anymore.
"Tinkerers" would be my choice (unless there's a better one) - a lot harder to hijack the meaning - comes off as harmless and fun and hobbyist.
The problem with "hacker" is that it didn't have a well-established widespread meaning before it entered the broader public consciousness which allowed (as if often the case) uninformed, ignorant journalists to pollute it's meaning and changie it. Tinkerer has a well-established widesporead meaning and so is more resillient to clueless journalists faulty/inaccurate or malicious usage.
Tinkerer sets out an 'image' - a brand. It's a positive one and one resillient to pejorative usage.
Revenues have gone up and so they will claim that it is therefore their right for revenues to always go up (which is what thay've done in the past) and that anything (technological, cultural, etc) that comes along and disrupts their ever-increasing profiteering should be legislated against. Just watch.
The music industry is a hive of scum and villainy and a great example of why capitalism should be kept at arms-length from regulation and politicians.
I gave up reading this excuse for an article when they failed to cite a single example of what they were talking about. I mean, the author talks of the danger of being inside a little bubble, but demonstrates precisely the same failing when they say (I shit you not):
I won’t name names or give examples because I’m not an asshole. But also because I don’t have to. I’d wager everyone reading this will have clear and obvious examples of what I’m talking about in their own circles—even if only in their own virtual circles. This is everywhere.
I mean, talk about fucking irony. No mate, I don't know. Spell it out or admit you're just bouncing around your own little bubble.
Yay! let's all buy Amazon's security risk with built in obsolescence!
The OS will stop getting patches in a few years so you'll have to either disconnect it from the network - losing the smart TV functionality you're buying - and/or buy another one if you want that wonderful 'smart tv experience'!
Isn't that just grand.
Plain old screen with ports (HDMI/USB) + smart box (android/pi/whatever) is the only sensible way. Anything else is Dumb TV.
BE AWARE! Dictatorship exists in all countries but with different tactics! They only care for personal short term profits & do anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science & everything, putting public mental & physical health at risk, abusing non-human animals, polluting environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism & sexual degeneration in the name of freedom,..... & turning people into programmed robots! "Make the lie big, Make it simple, Keep saying it, And eventually they will believe it" Adolf Hitler... There is no free speech in real world & you will be suppressed for telling the truth that is not supported by the system. Videos of targeted users are filtered & merely relegated, so that people can hardly see their videos!.There is no equal growth opportunity on YOUTUBE or any other video sharing site, your channel will grow if they want to!!!!!
Not what I would call the most stable individual in the world.
Really? What exactly that is quoted do you find delusional or untrue?
The USA, is for example an oligarchy, which is nearer a dictatorship than a democracy.
'Personal short-term profits'? Check.
'Doing anything to reach their goals even by fooling simple-minded people, hiding the truth, manipulating science & everything, putting public mental & physical health at risk'? Well, duh.
'Abusing non-human animals, polluting environment, destroying family values, promoting materialism'? Factory farming routinely abuses animals, business routinely pollutes the environment (which puts public health at risk). Materialism is what consumer capitalism is all about! So, yah, that all checks out.
The sexual degradation could be argued as using sex as a comodity instead of love, family, or just pleasant human relations, but it's not a hard case to argue, I'd say.
Nothing she says is delusional, so your characterisation of her as being mentally unstable seems more like confirmation bias than anything.
Now, her gunning someone down suggests for reasons other than self-defense put a big question mark over her state of mind, but not what she's said in what you've quoted.
>Some staff started to stick Post-It notes on the glass doors to mark their presence. However, the notes were removed because they detracted from the building's design
What I don't understand is that this is how you have to adapt an iPhone to make it usable: bumper cases, regular cases, battery packs, all to protect the 'design' from being damaged, but necessary in the real world, but which inevitably compromise the 'look' of the product.
I don't think Apple understands that 'good design' is not simply 'good aesthetics', the former being about functionality in the real world with real people and real circumstances.
I love Black Mirror and can tolerate the varying styles and 'quality' of episodes, even the ones I think are less successful I can appreciate because something different is being tried and I value the intention behind it all. Also I love the black humour.
I watched the first three episodes of Electric Dreams and tapped out. It did just seem like an uninspired 'me too' cash-in on what BM is doing which is a damn shame. PKD's work can serve as great inspiration, but they need inspired work to translate them into a movie/TV show and the people behind this offering don't seem to have bothered.
It's truly a mystery to me that people think their communication and relationships with their friends, family members and loved-ones should be watched over, tracked and monitored, data-mined, commodified, traded and exploited for profit by a global multi-billion-dollar corporation.
>In the Catalonian case over 90% of voters voted to leave
This is pure nonsense. The referrendum didn't include many people who did not want to seperate from Spain because it wasn't, in their eyes and the eyes of the Spanish government, a legal or legitimate referrendum.
Best guesses, based on opinion polls, suggest that Catalonian independence barely, if at all, reaches the 50% mark.
People in non-US countries seem to manage subtitles without too much trouble. Never mind getting "almost the entire sense of the scene through the subtitles", **whole series** are broadcast in other languages with subtitling. And people manage, indeed, they love them!
Perhaps people in the US have become stupid and lazy through having everything dumbed down for them and every effort spent to prevent them from expending any effort?

Isn't the company behind pornhub also lobbying to be the gateway for ID checks for porn in the UK?
Get paid by the idiots in the UK government to run ID/age gateway checks. Develop system to get paid for bypassing ID/age gateway.
Smart.

DAB (Digital Audion Broadcasting) uses the shitty MPEG-2 codec (in the UK, often at woefully low bitrates).

You can turn off updates to extensions. That you didn't figure that out after the first few times suggests something else might have been the problem.
It's just a shame it has a nested menu now and also doesn't work all the time on some elements on some websites.

With the greatest respect, how about fuck no.

Thanks for being one of the very few people to answer this question positively.
Transcript of the last brainstorming meeting at Firefox HQ:
"Hey you guys, have you noticed how everyone's stopped using Firefox and started using Chrome?
Maybe if we make our browser exactly the same as Chrome some people might use it?
What's that? You think that would provide even less of an incentive to use Firefox?
Ha! Good one! Carry on everyone!"
Running Firefox into the ground. What a fucking shame.
What?
What I want to know is why a British MP is using the American word "mom" in a communication instead of the British "mum".
Outrageous!
