  1. Re:Standards on Is The Linux Desktop In Trouble? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Same here. XFCE is the reason I'm using a Linux desktop.

  2. Ha!

  3. More US siliness about 5G on The Internet, Divided Between the US and China, Has Become a Battleground (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    "China aims to be the biggest provider of gear underlying the networks, and along with that it is pushing client countries to adopt its approach to the web -- essentially urging some to use versions of the "Great Firewall" that Beijing uses to control its internet and contain the West's influence."

    Pure nonsense, nowhere does China try to urge anyone to use its firewall.

    "Users can say what they want, mostly, and web developers can roll out pretty much anything."

    Laughable considering how gab.com was no-platformed for allowing "pretty much anything".

  4. Re:Does Greece have money again then? on Tesla Proposes Microgrids With Solar and Batteries To Power Greek Islands (electrek.co) · · Score: 2

    Have we ?

  5. They robbed the public of access to cultural works that should have been freed from dead people's copyright ages ago.

    And then they bought Infoseek and killed it laying all staff.

  6. This isn't for stopping ads but dealing with anti-adblocking measures.

  7. In most of the cases I simply hit Ctrl+A and paste to a text editor.

  8. Re:Many AI Killer Bots or 1 Atom Boi on China's Brightest Children Are Being Recruited To Develop AI 'Killer Bots' (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    Who is "we" ?

  9. Re:Why don't we include the government in that? on Senator Introduces Bill That Would Send CEOs To Jail For Violating Consumer Privacy (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Is there any difference between them anymore ?

  10. Re:The Luxury phone (That everyone has) on China's Xiaomi Aims Its Priciest Phone at Huawei and Apple (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    OK, I get your point, sorry for not reading your posting carefully. I personally think that expensive watches are as superficial a status symbol as expensive phones, though definitely not as ephemeral. People used to have gold teeth and claim they were the best type of artificial teeth, etc, but in reality they were considered a status symbol that has, thankfully, faded.

    Enjoy your Rolex and I hope you'll keep impressing people with it for a long time.

  12. I don't know about 1by1, but in cases I want a basic file/directory player I use Media Player Classic homecinema.

  13. Re:International Troll Farms on Twitter Publishes Archive of 10 Million Tweets From Russian, Iranian Bots (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    Luckyo isn't a troll. He may have strong opinions about issues, but I didn't feel that he tried to enforce them upon others.

  14. There's nothing wrong with Winamp users sticking to what works for them. My issue was with your initial analogy of foobar to a truck with a crane.

  15. Yes I know, but as I've said, foobar provides powerful *options*. If you don't care about them, you won't even see them, so you'll never move outside your optimized area.

  16. Important power features work better when provided by the main package because it's much easier for users to support and help each other. You don't have to install them if you don't want to.

    There's no such thing as "too powerful". As long as the interface is easy to use for new users, power options is always good to have as long as the package is small. Foobar has a smaller installation package, despite all its available power and its easier to use than winamp because it uses standard operating system controls instead of tiny graphics (at least as it was the case with Winamp when I left it).

    Winamp was good in the 90s. It was awesome. But once it was sold to AOL, it was done. Foobar was last updated a week ago.

  17. It's also great when you only do things that don't go beyond playback because it's the least cluttered. The difference is that its advanced features (eg. tag editing) do not require extra tools as it was with Winamp.

  18. And a CRT monitor that says "Energy Star" :D

  19. foobar2000 is a truck with crane in the back ?

  20. Re:name says it all on More Than One Third of Music Consumers Still Pirate Music (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't agree. The etymology of this word is still perfectly valid.

  21. Re:They need to do more even on Mozilla to Remove Legacy Firefox Add-Ons From Add-On Portal in Early October (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1
  22. Unofficial Windows XP builds for Pale Moon on Firefox-Forking Browser 'Pale Moon' Releases Major Update 28.0 (palemoon.org) · · Score: 1

    Installer releases and latest betas

    These are called New Moon builds. They are unsupported but I've tested them and work fine on Windows XP. Biggest advantage over outdated Firefox ESR versions: you can watch Youtube with the latest video codecs.

  23. Epson doesn't need to be hacked on HP Will Give You $10,000 To Hack Your Printer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't waste time and money with HP. Get an Epson EcoTank instead and, if you're planning to use it for a very long time, invest in a waste pad replacement or a bladder.

  24. Re:Russians have been covertly meddling for decade on US Says Russia Hacked Energy Grid, Punishes 19 for Meddling (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure. It is perfectly natural for a happy, prosperous country to advocate its own way of life.

    You mean Russia ?
