Welp, what ever we do will be legislated out of existence next year. Tough luck, come on boys shut the lights off and turn off the computers, we aren't wanted anymore.
Tropes are not evil or negative. Calling them as such is like saying grammar causes violence, or spelling teaches boys to rape.
Tropes are literary tools, just like spelling and grammar are. And just like how only certain combinations of letters in our alphabet make words. Plot points can only combine in certain ways and keep the story readable. These are tropes and some tropes are more popular than others, damsel in distress is one of them because it's simple.
And it is at this time the realities of what they are doing finally hit home. Don't forget these are the same people who decried NASA on their obsession on safety calling it government over spending.
Don't mind me. I am just sitting here, amused, as i watch these people relearn the same lessons that NASA and the Soviet space program learned over 50 years ago because they believe that their 'free market' 'privately run' space program by some magic makes them immune to the same problems.
OpenBSD market share drops as it no longer supports third party hardware. Former OpenBSD users migrate FreeBSD and DragonflyBSD where they can load the drivers for their raid cards and other server hardware that is not yet in the BSD mainline kernel.
This decision is almost as dumb as the unquestioned adoption of SystemD in linux..
Have you read a sports page lately? If you have then you read the future of all newspapers, the sports page now is mostly written by software engines. It won't be long till the rest of the newspaper is as well.
Except for the mail in opinion pieces, it will take an ai to handle the double think and such.
It would also save tax payer money. Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 and hour would remove $7.6 billion from being spent by social services to subsidize companies who pay workers $7.25 or less.
Sorry but then your company then goes under after a large percentage of your customer base returns your products after they stop working. You can spec the designs ALL you want to use authentic chips, but when your company's accounting department sees they can save a few cents to a buck per device by using the less than authentic chip. You're pretty much sunk. Even if the accounting department agrees with you, and you get the company you work for to have boots on the ground in your manufacturing plants to make sure you use authentic parts. Even then you can't tell the chip is authentic until you destructively open it up and look at the silicon.
To put it bluntly as long as they exist the entire apparatus of the corporate machine is geared to use them because they provide the exact same function as the authentic chips at a lower price.
The difference is that the company behind OSS was using them so they did not have to pay a cent and then turn around and sell the result to customers of UNIX and BSD as a complete drop in sound system. And at the same time try to get linux users to pay them for using it.
Yes until 4front tells the linux kernel devs to 'fsck off and thank you for developing our lead software product for unix, for free. oh and btw you're no longer allowed to use OSS anymore.' Which is what they did with the previous OSS version that was in the kernel.
The only programs that I have encountered that don't work well with alsa without the need for a sound system on top of alsa are the ones with project leads that purposefully don't follow ALSA documentation. Zsnes and Bsnes are perfect examples.

Actually netflix is being charged multiple times for same thing. they pay their isp for a connection to their data centers and now the isp's want them to pay again for a connection to their customers.
I do not take people's word for it when they claim serious things like getting actual valid death threats online. If you have one the first thing the police tell you to do is shut up about it in public forums least you scare away the person before they catch them.
it will be easier for paypal to steal your coins than it will for them to steal money from you. Because you didn't really think that they were freezing your account for a 'good' reason other than to line their own pockets right?
I have watched level playthroughs. Describing Destiny as the love child of Boarderlands 2 and Halo is pretty apt if you add to it that it takes the worst aspects of both.
It's like Boarderlands 2; except that the bad guys do not drop as much loot of either ammo or weapons, even when you're at a higher level they are bullet spongy so imagine how much more they will be when at or below their level, Guns have ammo pool types but you will run out of ammo faster than borderlands 2, at the end of each mission like Boarderlands 2 you can have one or several gun or item loot chests but the game only gives you 30 seconds to find it and take what you want before being booted back to the mission selection menu, and to get anything decent you have to grind.
It's like halo; except the bad guys are different in name only, the good guys no matter how you can customize their look will look like spartans, Well wait.. no it's just halo by any other name.

Dialup is all many can get.
Where broadband is available it's something like 6 to 100mbps down and 128kbps up with 25 to 300 GB limit per month.

To the end user it is bricked. Thats all that matters.

They made alsa so they would not be used as free bug testers and squashers like they did when the OSS sound system was in the kernel.

Not so funny anymore.

because if you read the article it mentioned that happening to someone driving on the freeway.

I did not till tonight.
At&t blocked my access to slashdot because of the posting of that article about their fake fiber roll out.
Move to japan, that is their system.
That was $498 dollars worth of dogecoin.
At least i am thinking it will have you sign up for a facebook account during the driver install.
As long as it costs less than 1 trillion(the f-35's current running total) it is not only a match but a good counter.
When enough people realizing voting is not worth the paper or electrons that make up the ballot.
