Twitter as common carrier is more of a marketing perception created by Twitter, obviously Twitter does not want to market itself as what it is a marketing channel designed to be controlled over time to present corporate preferred messaging. Juts like the bullshit Google is putting out about YouTube censorship being demanded by corporations a total crock of shit. The corporations lose big when they give up on advertising channels, not those advertising channels especially one the size of YouTube, so what is going on is straight up establishment control via the big shit and Alphabet and one Google's original backers the CIA. In all cases advertisers is the lie, reality is the establishment trying to retain power by silencing all opposition and failing.
Are they censoring off course they are and they are running trials to gauge exactly how noticeable it is, what they can get away with, what they can not get away with, how much damage it causes and what critical to them maintaining psychopathic can be pushed regardless of the damage it does to the medium. Twitter as for all social media fads will implode, they always do because they are always manipulated to maximise profits and in this case power and control.
You know what I an the other way round, I remember dreams as readily as normal everyday memories, no difference. Of course, just like everything I do not remember during normal daily activities much the same with remembering dreams. So what is the most interesting thing I remember from dreams is instances of deja vu. Every time I have an incident of deja vu I can place the dream and the memories that surround it even the segue into and out of the deja vu dream element. So that incident of deja vu is disruptive, using a car like analogy because it it like your pedalling along on your push bike life and all of a sudden you hit a tram track and you life is on a dream rail tracking exactly your current life experience, which is quite disturbing (that sense of loss of control). Whilst each instance of deju vu has not been at all illuminating. What I have noticed is, it causes a pause in action and a change of direction, no real useful information, just a jarring and a delay at the end of the experience often associated with a change of direction very subtle changes, turn left instead of right or just a sufficient delay. The most emphatic of moment deja vu was with another person waffling on and pulling up to a red light, the deja vu moment stopped when the light turned green and disturbed by it I did not take off, just as a person drove through a red light and would have tboned me on my side if I had moved (blind intersection so I could not see them until too late). So after fifty years odd of life and attempting to correlate deja vu with actual outcomes, its seems like a subtle push to change your direction possibly to avoid a very negative outcome, without any information about that outcome, just that subtle, well for most of you subtle tweak (at a guess a quantum consciousness push from the future to the past to the present, weird things happen down there compared to up here).
Now that deja vu thing is really disturbing mainly because of all those other dreams, whilst some of them have been quite fun, interesting and challenging, even life threatening I certainly do not want them to be instance of deja vu (I quite enjoy nightmares, I can always wake up or change it if bored or particularly annoyed). Now you could test for the validity of deja vu extending life, but there are of course two tricks in there, your life might no come under great threat so no deja vu and of course when deja vu fails, how do you tell.
Now statistically speaking it might not have any relevance due to the numbers of dreams you have, based around your own life and their potential to coincidentally align with future actions, keeping in mind the short duration of deja vu and no winning lottery numbers deja vu, not that I have ever dreamed of any and I struggle to read in dreams unless I specifically focus before hand.
It seems you feel safe and you give not one crap about victims. The problem is no vetting was done so a whole range of hardened criminals was let through along with the refugees. Thousands of criminals, who will commit tens of thousands of crime, rape, murder, theft, and you don't seem to give one crap about the victims.
Refugees should never have been allowed out of camps. Once they are vetted and achieve migrant status than it is OK, prior to that it is stupid and actually consequences on the ground has proven that. How many citizens should be sacrificed to feed you sensibilities, none, but tens of thousands of them have been, sure not all murders but rapes, burglaries, common acts of violence, young, old, male, female, your indifference to their suffering is appalling and disgusting. All could have been avoided if the refugees had been properly contained and those who passed vetting allowed on the streets and those who failed to remain contained until safely returned to their country of origin.
Then again perhaps the citizen of the countries who caused the crisis should suffer and bleed with their victims. Stop stealing resources, stop forcing labour, stop invading countries, stop the coups, stop the wars, else continue to suffer. If Eruope fails to get NATO to shut the fuck up, NATO will continue to kill Europeans, North American Territorial Occupation farce is not a joke and it is killing Europeans as well as Americans and people from all over the globe in insane schemes to sell arms and munitions and to steal resource, total dominance, total power, total control, obey or die (they do not even attempt to deny it).
Besides don't think of the reef as dying, so much as the living skin relocating to another region. The reef in it's current locations has died many times before, in fact is has been hundreds of metres above sea level as a coastal land formation and proof of that is in coral cores. The amount of living coral will reduce dramatically as it colonises new locales and when sufficient properties of the rich and greedy have gone underwater and something is done, in a century or two, the living coral will return. Kind of stupid but people are kind of stupid, mud monkeys voting for greed and greed provides the inevitable destructive outcomes. The coral is not bleaching, that is a pretty stupid description, the coral polyps are dying and due to changed environmental conditions new coral polyps are not resettling at the current locations.
Pretty much, I am a human, fuck the corals, we will be drowning cities and displacing hundreds of millions of people, many will die, all because a tiny minority of insanely greedy arse holes, can not give up even the tiniest bit of greed, screaming for more wealth more power and revelling in the death they cause. The death of that coral is a warning about our own survival and thanks to the psychopathic arse holes in charge, our lives collectively are in serious danger.
Oh well, I am old and will likely survive to see the panic start to develop with out being too affected by it, for the millennials, well, you guys and gals are fucked, your retirement is fucked and you children will be even worse off, seriously worse off. Not much I can do about the rest of my generation except to try to limit the harm they cause. Millenials though, will have some serious problems to deal, many will die early and you'll likely get to see seas at least two metres higher or even more. Millenials better get real angry, real fast because the consequences for you are pretty bad. Hey I am old and pretty confident about my future so passing on is no great concern apart from the possible discomfort associated with it. I would prefer to not have to deal with the mess being created by my generation of lead addled fools.
Don't be sexist, thumping your chest indeed, obviously you aren't female or have tiny boobies (you also likely aren't an overweight male with moobies, no thumping there either just squishy, squishy). What does someone have to do to achieve funny around here.
Mr Raymond is a tricky bugger. I would not be surprised if this story was not purposefully released to create a data set based upon the responses, With each type of response being categorised to hacker archetype. Of course it wont be real fun until a full psych test is crafted to further analyse archetype responses.
Could be really useful for employment, keeping hackers best employed within the archetype to be more productive, less purposefully unproductive and to prevent burn out from having to continually try to hard. Then of course they are types no one might wish to employ outside of spy vs spy application.
It would be interesting to see how people reading this article would categorise themselves, a poll, I kind of like sharpshooter, prankster, architect myself (leaning towards architect and away from prankster).
None of this make sense, every indication is that NATO (North American Territorial Occupation farce), along with the CIA and NSA (to be fair the entire global spy vs spy apparatus), will hide any hacks they find so that they can use them even when organised crime already has them. Is this a subtle attack on IPV6 to keep people on IPV4 for as long as possible because they have completely hacked IPV4. Also IPV6 represents a nearly figurative infinite number of disposable IP addresses, allowing people to use each address only once, basically changing it every time they turn their computer on and rotating MAC addresses.
NATO and crew are more into getting a IP and MAC address permanently implanted into your skull, that you can never get rid of and that they can read where ever and when ever they want. For them a figurative near infinite number IPV6 addresses along with rotating MAC addresses pretty much sucks. Now honestly, really truly honestly, if they could get away with skull implanted remote identifiers, do you think they would say no or yes and in fact given the opportunity do you think they would demand and enforce it, say at birth for the safety of the children and of course good enough for children good enough for adults.
How about going into any doctors office running windows 10, boom, M$ now has you entire medical record and can now target you with ads and employment firms, insurance companies, financial corporations with your data (can not get a job, can not get insurance, can not get a loan, tough, M$ needs to make more money).
How about extended frustration can really fuck up people's sense of humour. Computer geeks use computers a lot, so frustrations with regard to usability or changing stuff and repeated day after day, all day long. For computer geeks that means months of no longer just focusing on what you are doing with computers but focusing on how you are doing it, why it isn't working, what you have to change, constantly undoing errors, disruption of thought processes, constant grinding frustration and aggravation. Now that is when you decide to make the choice to switch, Having used computer for decades I have done it many, many times with many applications and it never ever gets less annoying but I can tell you, when it is forced upon, wow, that frustration and anger causes you to make even more mistakes, more errors, more disruptions and really does piss you off.
No keep in mind, this is not in isolation but across hardware, applications, operating systems, every corporation seemingly fucking with you. Seriously, why the fuck do you think they would ever be happy with that, just why the fuck do you think that is acceptable. When you make the change it is annoying but not that bad, your choice, when you force it on others, kaboom and not just once but many, many times.
I am surprised some of them don't get violent, so many unsympathetic people in corporations floating around who just ignore the impact of forced changes upon people who do not want them, repeated changes, again and again and again and again and again (now if I wrote that down a thousands times and you were forced to read it every single time and not just once but say a hundred times, how would you feel?).
Thinking of the future, this is a real warning of the dangers of a cashless society, when only corporations will decide whether you can access any product or service no matter how cheap, not even charity all transactions to or from you blocked. Need a lawyer when you are cut off in a cash less society, good luck, you have better chance of living for ever by sitting in a bath tube with a blow drier, a box of razor blades and you head bellow water level.
Who is kidding who with M$. It is more like saying we will save you the cost of footwear by cutting off your legs. Kind of like invading your privacy makes you life more secure or targeting your personally with manipulative advertising will help you make smarter purchasing decisions or M$ controlling your computer makes you free. Ahh, the age of digital double speak.
Memories, WTF, what I miss most is digital freedom. The POS state of affairs with corporations and governments spying on everyone all of the time is fucking bullshit. Can not trust hardware, can not trust software, can not trust the network, is has all become a digital steaming pile of bullshit. Digital rights is a joke foisted upon as by the pigopolists, rather than being the rights of individuals and their digital freedom, it is the right of corporations to fuck over individuals, this fucking shit has got to stop!
Nope, pretty much women tend to be more conformist on average, get along to go along (more oestrogen less testosterone) and thus take a lower wage. Men on the other hand on average are more competitive (more testosterone less oestrogen) and demand a higher wage. As the salaries are negotiated, on average female employees miss out. Set salaries they are done, negotiated salaries, well, I am afraid that is just a psychological study worth a paper.
Now that fucking explains why the major corporations want more women in computing, they can screw them better than they can men (I just had too;D).
Ahh, I understand you error now. You seem to think I care, no, I just really enjoy taking the piss out of the US government. I was really offended when they killed a bunch of Australians in a war for profit in Iraq by lying the Australian government into that conflict and allowing your buddies in Ukraine to kill even more. I will never stop taking the piss out of the US government, ever, until justice for those Australians murdered by greed has been served, I will enjoy continuing to take the piss out of the US government, as I have done for the last decade so I will continue to do and now for something totally inappropriate https://www.youtube.com/watch?...;P.
It must be different for different locales, AU $8.99 1, $11.99 2 and $14.99 4, so it is hardly surprising people share accounts (video quality also varies according to account). I have always been a buying and never a renter, just don't like the idea, so no netflix (I am cool with borrowing though, bwa hah hah). Perhaps if netflix sold lifetime accounts, that would be cool. One time payment equal to say a decades worth of subscription and your done, that I could buy into.
Me I prefer a nice stroll through pleasant burbs, views down leafy streets, listening to tunes, I could not imagine racing in anything, no way, no how.
I think they are referring to the decision making process, which is easier overall, which comes default with the most comfortable environment. I swapped from Kubuntu to Ubuntu and then Unity came out and I switched back to Kubuntu because trying to force unity back to gnome, was harder than just installing Kubuntu instead, yeah seriously, just that touch more thinking and effort was enough to swap because the choice was there and I simply made the easiest one at the time. Might swap back to Ubuntu with Unity gone or try another distribution (haven't done that in quite a while). So what you are reading is with a swap to Linux there are all sorts of choices and swapping from one to another is really arbitrary decision, choices on which one, are easy to do. Install are quick reconfigurations are not too bad, depending on how much you customise the desk top (they come back when you swap over which is fun).
For any serious computer geek, they often have more than one. I am up to four, generally buying a replacement when ever one breaks whilst also repairing that broken one to become a spare. I just can't bring myself to sell the old ones, so many fond memories. Only two have been hacked, the oldest one on purpose to see how difficult is was to clean up, interesting exercise and good practice (I just installed an app from an expected criminal web site to see what would happen, what changes, what extra installed, how difficult to clean, rather than reinstall) and the last one I was indifferent to as I guessed the source of the hack and they cleaned it up themselves afterwards (better they come through windows(snicker snicker) than the storm troopers come through the doors). The other two never hacked, well, admittedly I never really turned them back on again once they were fixed, so they have not been near the internet for, well, over a decade (oh I forgot smart phone but I never do anything serious on that, never ever and screw you M$ for not understanding that, spying on desktops ass holes). I'll guess I have to repurpose a windows box to a Linux Box for internet access.
Seriously, why didn't they shoot down any cruise missiles because they would be bragging about it all over the place if they had. It's not like the US does not have a solid reputation for lying, the head of the NSA lied to your own congress under oath and nothing happened, perjured himself about breaking the law, spying on Americans, nada, a big ole so what. How to tell when the US government lies, they hold a press conference, how to tell when the US government isn't lying, they don't hold a press conference. So completely oblivious to spending that money on collapsing US infrastructure, yet 70 claimed dead people trigger that waste when the US government was paying something like $2,500 a piece when they illegally killed Iraqis whilst occupying the country, now they deem over a million dollars a piece is a worthwhile expense.
About the only likely reason it seems so many failed, was they were possibly self destructed when they went off target because they could not afford to kill more civilians than they were claiming revenge for (that is a real concern for quality, the lowest tender never producing the best result), the Russian government would also be bragging if they shot any down, not for ego but to sell the weapon systems that shot them down and make no mistake (their military industrial complex is just as interested in profits, it's just that they are no where near as ruthless about it). The whole thread matters not one iota, you know the truth will out, you know the US government will lie all the way up until then and pretend like it never happened there in after. WMDs in Iraq and still no prosecutions for lying the country into war. I mean seriously, why would you expect any one to believe anything coming out of the US. Prove it or forget it, you ain't convincing anyone of anything any more.
PS Hillary Clinton said in one of her speeches, that she knew Saudi Arabia was supplying the terrorists and wanted as many of them to kill each other as possible (Obama sold the weapons to Saudi Arabia who then supplied them to Iraq ie his terrorists). The US government went on and on about ISIS raping entire towns, on and on and on, to justify bombing in Syria. Nothing I made up, straight our of the mouths of the US government, of course they could be lying, they lie about everything else. Climate change any one, interfering with US elections bad, the US spending 5 billion dollars interfering with Ukrainian elections and picking the winners good. I really don't think you know how propaganda works any more, if you don't convince anyone of anything, you achieved nothing and no one believes no matter how much other government leaders (not their citizens) join in on the lies.
Yes, I know more WMDs, WMDs every where, the US military industrial complex profits are down, WMDs, WMDs, WMDs.
Lets not forget, Obama did not do net neutrality voluntarily it took an enormous amount of pressure across the board to force it. Everyone said then, even though working together we had won, that they would not stop and would try again. Reality is net neutrality favours 99.99% of businesses, getting rid of it favours 0.01% of businesses at the expense of 99.99% of businesses. It is up to the majority of businesses to force it's retention, forget the general public, this will cripple businesses across the board.
Not so much self publishing, think more collective publishing, where a group form a creative cooperative to work together to create content. So not on your own but with a bunch of like minded individuals, have fun working together and together you can produce more higher quality content.
At least that would explain all those ones that disappeared some where out there, one assumes over the sea, otherwise there is something seriously wrong with tomahawk cruise missiles, it's not like they claimed shooting any down, not even a 50% strike rate. Of course they could be lying about how many were launched, after all WMDs anyone and why would anyone ever believe anything that comes out of the US government after that. Well, US troops are back in Iraq, perhaps they will finally find those WMDs.
I also think slashdot does not have a sense of humour. I of course still think it would be hilarious watching a bunch of stoned drivers trying to race around a race track in fairly safe cars, the facial expressions trying to make their way around the track at speed would be really humorous.

I swapped from Kubuntu to Ubuntu and then Unity came out and I switched back to Kubuntu because trying to force unity back to gnome, was harder than just installing Kubuntu instead, yeah seriously, just that touch more thinking and effort was enough to swap because the choice was there and I simply made the easiest one at the time. Might swap back to Ubuntu with Unity gone or try another distribution (haven't done that in quite a while). So what you are reading is with a swap to Linux there are all sorts of choices and swapping from one to another is really arbitrary decision, choices on which one, are easy to do. Install are quick reconfigurations are not too bad, depending on how much you customise the desk top (they come back when you swap over which is fun).
For any serious computer geek, they often have more than one. I am up to four, generally buying a replacement when ever one breaks whilst also repairing that broken one to become a spare. I just can't bring myself to sell the old ones, so many fond memories. Only two have been hacked, the oldest one on purpose to see how difficult is was to clean up, interesting exercise and good practice (I just installed an app from an expected criminal web site to see what would happen, what changes, what extra installed, how difficult to clean, rather than reinstall) and the last one I was indifferent to as I guessed the source of the hack and they cleaned it up themselves afterwards (better they come through windows(snicker snicker) than the storm troopers come through the doors). The other two never hacked, well, admittedly I never really turned them back on again once they were fixed, so they have not been near the internet for, well, over a decade (oh I forgot smart phone but I never do anything serious on that, never ever and screw you M$ for not understanding that, spying on desktops ass holes). I'll guess I have to repurpose a windows box to a Linux Box for internet access.
Seriously, why didn't they shoot down any cruise missiles because they would be bragging about it all over the place if they had. It's not like the US does not have a solid reputation for lying, the head of the NSA lied to your own congress under oath and nothing happened, perjured himself about breaking the law, spying on Americans, nada, a big ole so what. How to tell when the US government lies, they hold a press conference, how to tell when the US government isn't lying, they don't hold a press conference. So completely oblivious to spending that money on collapsing US infrastructure, yet 70 claimed dead people trigger that waste when the US government was paying something like $2,500 a piece when they illegally killed Iraqis whilst occupying the country, now they deem over a million dollars a piece is a worthwhile expense.
About the only likely reason it seems so many failed, was they were possibly self destructed when they went off target because they could not afford to kill more civilians than they were claiming revenge for (that is a real concern for quality, the lowest tender never producing the best result), the Russian government would also be bragging if they shot any down, not for ego but to sell the weapon systems that shot them down and make no mistake (their military industrial complex is just as interested in profits, it's just that they are no where near as ruthless about it). The whole thread matters not one iota, you know the truth will out, you know the US government will lie all the way up until then and pretend like it never happened there in after. WMDs in Iraq and still no prosecutions for lying the country into war. I mean seriously, why would you expect any one to believe anything coming out of the US. Prove it or forget it, you ain't convincing anyone of anything any more.
PS Hillary Clinton said in one of her speeches, that she knew Saudi Arabia was supplying the terrorists and wanted as many of them to kill each other as possible (Obama sold the weapons to Saudi Arabia who then supplied them to Iraq ie his terrorists). The US government went on and on about ISIS raping entire towns, on and on and on, to justify bombing in Syria. Nothing I made up, straight our of the mouths of the US government, of course they could be lying, they lie about everything else. Climate change any one, interfering with US elections bad, the US spending 5 billion dollars interfering with Ukrainian elections and picking the winners good. I really don't think you know how propaganda works any more, if you don't convince anyone of anything, you achieved nothing and no one believes no matter how much other government leaders (not their citizens) join in on the lies.
Yes, I know more WMDs, WMDs every where, the US military industrial complex profits are down, WMDs, WMDs, WMDs.
Lets not forget, Obama did not do net neutrality voluntarily it took an enormous amount of pressure across the board to force it. Everyone said then, even though working together we had won, that they would not stop and would try again. Reality is net neutrality favours 99.99% of businesses, getting rid of it favours 0.01% of businesses at the expense of 99.99% of businesses. It is up to the majority of businesses to force it's retention, forget the general public, this will cripple businesses across the board.
Not so much self publishing, think more collective publishing, where a group form a creative cooperative to work together to create content. So not on your own but with a bunch of like minded individuals, have fun working together and together you can produce more higher quality content.
At least that would explain all those ones that disappeared some where out there, one assumes over the sea, otherwise there is something seriously wrong with tomahawk cruise missiles, it's not like they claimed shooting any down, not even a 50% strike rate. Of course they could be lying about how many were launched, after all WMDs anyone and why would anyone ever believe anything that comes out of the US government after that. Well, US troops are back in Iraq, perhaps they will finally find those WMDs.
I also think slashdot does not have a sense of humour. I of course still think it would be hilarious watching a bunch of stoned drivers trying to race around a race track in fairly safe cars, the facial expressions trying to make their way around the track at speed would be really humorous.
