You've got the distribution chain on it's head though. The people uploading camrecords and disc rips aren't using Netflix and aren't hindered by it's DRM. The people illegally downloading aren't bothered by DRM that is getting by passed.
The only people suffering from DRM are the people not in the first group that don't want to be in the second group either. The deal Linux users are getting served is "If you want to pay to legally watch this you must wear this gag ball and straight jacket, if you refuse wear these you will have to watch it for free from TPB".
Neither Android nor ChromeOS run what we understand as "Linux Programs", you can't download a tarball, deb or rpm package from some web site and just install and run it. So, I find it useful that it isn't marketed as Linux since it's incompatible with most of what Linux users would consider a LInux system.
Be the kind soul to explain me why a test that works in 99 out of 100 times in the lab only actually works 1/6th of the time when applied in the real world?
Why must you be such an idiot? Weather is not Climate, record snow, rain and cold are localized phenomena, when you consider the entirety of Earth's atmosphere it is hotter than 50 years ago, it continues to get hotter every year and even the rate of acceleration is itself is increasing. We are talking about Earth's atmosphere as a whole. How many times do you have to be explained that your local weather this week isn't an adequate model for the whole Earth? Why do we have to go through this every year? Oh yeah, because you are an idiot.
The blame falls to neither or both of them. It's completelly up to you.
If you are a Linux developer you want to make that sure it remains secure even if Chrome fucks up. If you are a Chrome developer, you want to make sure you have covered all your bases for all the different OS you are developing for. If you are a fanboy, you want to blame whatever product you aren't a fan of. If you are just a practical person, you care little about the blaming game and simply chose dependinig on which platform you are more invested in, Linux or Chorme.
PS: I still can't believe Google named its browser after an internal technology of Mozilla. Hell, I still can't believe MS named its VM after a TLD.
I just don't understand why people can't just use another reader. I use a gnome one. There are also readers for KDE and othe rlinux platforms. I guess Windows has hundreads of RSS readers.
A lot of them have browser integration and cloud syncing. Heck. Just install one of a docen RSS readers for firefox and use their sync support.
Now, there are women that want real equality. Usually they call themselves humanists not feminists. Hell there are even misogynist women. The human spectrum is that wide. But yes the majority of the women that call themselves feminists don't really want equality because in their minds women are always victims and males are always abusers.
BUT PLEASE. DON?T MAKE IT ABOUT LEFT OR RIGHT.
Both left and right are very protective of females and dismissive of males. They just express it in different ways. In the current political climate left and right are hardly any different and it's mostly an smoke screen for the fact that Americans don't have power of their government.
favicons please. Bookmarklets suffer from a lack of it. Many of us use minimized bookmark bars that only shows icons and even that wasn't the case for me the lack of favicons just makes the idea that much less apealing that I'm going to forget about it.
What I hate about advertising is that ONLINE ADVERTISERS think that the only way to do it is by raping the customer privacy in a dark alley before killing it. Advertisers in old media dodn't have problems selecting ads. Sell me geek stuff in slashdot. Sell me gadgets on gizmodo. Sell me videogames in reddit/r/Gaming. Sell me things about the site I'm reading. You don't have to know my entire web history to know what ads to show me.
I block ads because they come with a whole bunch of web bugs designed to build a comprehensive psychological profile of me. WTF.
I'm whiling to disable ad-blockers from a whitelist of good behaving advertisers. A whitelist that in no way can contain the likes Google and its immortal cookies or or Facebook and its aliased tracking servers.
Also can we stop saying Obama Administration? Is the US gubermint. When we are talking about Obama let's bring these issues back into context but when we are talking about the DoJ, calling it Obama Administration is just insidious bickering.
Ubuntu is Debian reskined. It's unstable stable. It's basically a tweaked sid. If debian, which *is* ran by concensus, disappeared tomorrow, along with its package mantainers, Canonical wouldn't hace a product to sell.
As of late all that Ubuntu adds to debian are things that current users didn't ask for, app indicators, horrible themes Unity like adds in the shell, referal links in Exaile, heck, Exaile. Gnome users were happy with Rhythmbox or installed XMMS. Now they are changing display server. But Wayland was too mainstream so they are rolling their own as usual.
Now, I'm not unreasonable, I know Ununtu has done great things, mostly marketing. Sadly marketing is much more critical than people generally realize. They legitimized Linux in the eyes of many OEMs. And they created a good installer when Debian refused to make one out of dislike for binary drivers.
That's not the problem.
The problem is that he is lying. Nobody wants Linux to be hard to use. People disliked Unity because it's a tablet UI on a desktop. It broke with desktop standards, it broke work flows. And it didn't made anything easier than before. It was just different, and for a while brokenly different.
He is building a strawman, misrepresenting the people who liked Gnome 2 as "people who want Linux to be hard" that is fucking bullshit.
He is also wants to eat his cake and eat it too. He says "ubuntu is a community" then "ubuntu is not a democracy". So when the community rejected the move of the Window Buttons to the left, then Ubuntu is his project, but when he gets interviewed suddenly it's a community again? Even he doesn't get his way he says?
BULL. SHIT.
I don't have a problem with the guy doing with his distro as he wants. I have a problem with the guy spwewing bullshit around.
Basically, this, let A, B, C, D be points in spacetime, in other words a place an a date (oviously, a date relative to an observer at that time and place). A, B, C, D also have an observer there conveniently called A, B, C, D too.
Nothing is faster than light so the fastest possible interaction A can have with B is light traveling from A to B, we say "B could see A" which means "A could cause B" by sending a message for instance, So we say that A is in the "absolute past" of B. Similarly if C can see B then B can cause C, again by sending a message or the like. C is is in B's "absolute future".
D is an event that happened so far away from B that B couldn't see it. Light didn't have enough time to travel from C to B so there is no way B could see, let alone be afected by D. And remember that B is a point in spacetime, a place and a date, an event. Sure light will eventually reach from D to wherever B happened, but not before B happened.
So B and D could not affect each other, so which happened first doesn't matter. So far this is regular physics. Now, a traveler going from D to B will see D happening before B and a traveler going from B to D will see B happening before D. Again this is not surpising, what Special Relativity tells us, that is actually surprising, is that this is not merely an illusion, B actually happened before D for one traveler and viceversa for the other.
Why? I'm not really sure. I'm not a physisist. It makes sense when you realize one traveler doesn't have veto power over the other. We are all travelers in motion. Not one of us can say who is right and who is wrong, and doesn't really matter since B couldn't possible touch D or viceversa.
Teleportation, or any form of FTL travel messes this up. If event D is "teleporting a self destruct message to a ship" and event B is "blowing up in response" the traveler going from B to D can see the ship blowing up first, and then the actual moment when the message was sent and, in fact, can prevent it from happening.
And then? I don't know. Sci-Fi autors. Pop ones primarily, rarelly address this issue. FTL travel and teleportation don't usually mess up with causality in movies like Star Wars. Star Trek does but I'm unconvinced it is being represented accurately. Either way this goes beyond my understanding.
I reccomend you pay a visit to GirlWritesWhat's channel. What her old videos basically explaining feminism from a evo-psych point of view.
Thi gist of it is that humans have a natural drive to pamper cute things like women and babies, just like we have a drive to seek sugars and fat. And just like uncheked appetite drives us to obessity, unchecked protectionsim for females drives humanity to feminism and misandry.
I'm probably misunderstanding things here but assuming just momentaneously that this allows for information to travel instantaneously, Special Relativity ask us to consider that this information is actually traveling back in time. isn't it? Then are we finally goinig to get a proper model of time travel so we can make Hollywood stop making shoddy movies like Looper?
Oh I know that, I was replying to cheesybagel comment
Alternatively let the Linux Foundation, or better yet, some vendor agnostic association, like the PCI SIG should handle the keys. Having Microsoft handle the keychain is bonkers.
My point being that nobody did entrust MS with secure boot but themselves.
The requirement for Secure Boot is part of Win8 hardware certification program. It's not mandatory for OEMs
It's still a perversion of the system. End users wanted to know if the hardware supports the OS, they didn't ask about it's anti-piracy/DRM features.
They can preload keys for other systems, including, for example, Linux. Convincing them to do so is another matter.
And we know they don't, which is okay if secure boot can be disabled, but restricting unlocking it's unacceptable, it's denying users the right to do with their system as they see fit, if Ford made cars that only ran on one brand of gas every judge in the civilized world would declare it as anti-competitive practice.
Good thing for MS that judges can't understand technology.

My personal favorite is Io. Heck I'd even recommend Scheme. But pease not Java.
We don't have that, but we have a "If you try to invoke Godwin's to shutdown discussion you lose, asshat" rule.
