  1. Re:Ooooh, it is round... on Flat Earther Now Wants to Launch His Homemade Rocket Into Space (phillyvoice.com) · · Score: 1

    Despite you refraining from wishing harm, this guy is gonna die by his own stupidity.

  2. Re:So the guy who gave us midichlorians on George Lucas Actually Consulted For The Script Of 'Star War: Episode IX' (collider.com) · · Score: 2

    It has become an after school special. I always enjoyed Star Wars as a good vs. evil, but now I get this "let's give everyone a trophy" vibe from the story when it comes to characters like Rose Tico and I hear echos of political rallies I see in the news today. No hate on Rose Tico or the actress that portrayed her and was subsequently bullied for it or political views different from my own, but keep that shit the fuck out of the franchise I've loved for thirty years. I watch Star Wars to escape reality.

  3. If you think no one cares about you... on Linux Mint 19.2 'Tina' is On the Way, But the Developers Seem Defeated and Depressed (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    ...stop paying your bills for a couple months.

  4. Shit I hate being right... on Mark Zuckerberg Wants The Government To Help Police Internet Content (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Was having a conversation at work and we were talking about fake news and misinformation in general being harmful to people. I expressed my concern at the idea of, and my surprise people weren't talking about it already, misinformation becoming a crime and it becoming a slippery slope to the end of freedom of speech. This sounds like the first step in that direction thanks to Mr. Fuckerberg and his creation.

  5. Mail client has an issue with Outlook too on macOS 10.14.4 Mail Client Has Broken Gmail Access For Some Users (apple.com) · · Score: 1

    Dragged and dropped some emails to a folder. They disappeared. Not in the trash. Not in the destination folder or original folder. No help from Apple. Microsoft was no help either.

  6. Play the CenturyLink defense on Music Labels Sue Charter, Complain That High Internet Speeds Fuel Piracy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    “But we have no customers!”

  7. Re:What about presumption of circuit innocence? on Germany Urged To Champion Global Treaty To Ban 'Killer Robots' · · Score: 1

    Are you assuming the identity of that entity? How do you know it identifies as a killer or even a robot?

  8. What Microsoft fails to consider is you CAN do something about it, like go with a competitor.

  9. BT Sync on Dropbox Now Limits Free Users To 3 Devices (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Been using that and prefer it to Dropbox, however my team at work insists on using it even though we have a "bottomless" One Drive. Maybe this will get the team and, therefore, me away from it.

  10. Re: What about planned obsolescence? on Apple Is Now Forcing Its Suppliers to Go 'Green' (afr.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple and Green cannot go together with their current business practices such as lobbying against right to repair.

  11. Re: Is this going to require a reboot? on Linux 5.0 Released (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    A company I worked for had an old HP server running Linux. It had an up time record of two years and they shut it down to replace the power supply. Of course now uptime has taken the backseat to updating software.

  12. Re:Oh no! Think of the children! on Self-Harm Clips Hidden in Kids' Cartoons (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I think of my children. It's called parenting.

  13. ...when they are the reason for this censorship. "FREE SPEECH!" Yeah, but no: it's their sandbox. I know mommy and daddy told you that you must share the sandbox and your toys, but they were not preparing you for the real world. Oh, and speech may be free, but never without consequence. So lie in that bed, fuckers.

  14. Re:Breaking news links on Amazon Prime Air Cargo Plane Crashes in Texas, Three Dead (weather.com) · · Score: 1

    ATC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Always gut-wrenching hearing people talk while clueless it'll be their last words. 7000fpm descent at the end. RIP.

  15. ...and dump. Watch those coins burn.

  16. No. Just: no. That is all.

  17. I never expected advertisers to honor it anyway. Made me wonder why developers didn't take it into their own hands and the browser circumvent tracking on its own... then it dawned on me: because it's supported by ads.

  18. Can't deny it any longer.

  19. Re:More partisan shilling on House Democrats Tell Ajit Pai: Stop Screwing Over the Public (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Wow in my decades, now, of slashdot I’ve never...

    Beau has shattered all my confidence /. will ever recover.

  20. Re:The existence of VOIP implies tha the FCC is ly on FCC Struggles To Convince Judge That Broadband Isn't 'Telecommunications' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    "...to shoot down Ajit Paid's FCC lies."

    FTFY and probably answered a few why's from people.

  21. Simply because... on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Scientists Constantly Surprised By What They Discover? · · Score: 1

    Scientists are often wrong, while science is never wrong. So scientists are either surprised they're right or they're completely wrong and surprised by what they find.

  22. What's so hard about playing Fortnite? on Netflix Says It's More Scared of Fortnite and YouTube Than Disney and Amazon (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Telling your parents you're gay.

  23. Re: Cue the NIMBYs and cowards... on Only Nuclear Energy Can Save the Planet (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    Yeah itâ(TM)s all save the planet save the planet reduce carbon and we say âoeOk, letâ(TM)s go nuclear,â and then itâ(TM)s all âoeLALALALALA CANT HEAR YOU! THINK OF THE FUCKING CHILDREN TRUMPTARD!!!â

    If you canâ(TM)t even consider nuclear fission as an option, then you donâ(TM)t want a solution. I agree safety is an issue but hasnâ(TM)t research and innovation in fission safety stalled? Can fission not be made safer and a more attractive option?

    Now, some of the elite are putting their money toward nuclear fusion - letâ(TM)s not leave that one out.

  24. Re:Global Warming on Earth's Magnetic Field Is Acting Up and Geologists Don't Know Why (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Putin is stealing the north pole for himself! GOD DAMN RUSSIANS.

  25. It's tongue-in-cheek, but the parent comment is the "it's Trump's fault" comment some of you are looking for.
