Restore from backups! No backups? Let's start with who we're going to fire for not having backups and work our way up to indictments for gross negligence.;)
So do banks, ISPs and other giants who have abused their position.
The current governing party has increasingly abdicated it's responsibilities and blocked others trying to perform their own for the last 40 years. Time to vote them all out.
People use these sites for the "network effects," meaning that if everyone you know is on Facebook, you will use it to be in contact with them.
The difference is that everyone has real options now. Just because many people are ignorant of this fact doesn't make it less true.
However, the centralized model is not healthy
This is actually something I agree with. A little regulation could ensure that social networks provide an inter-platform interface which would likely be great and horrible at the same time. Then again, we've heard about how the far-right feels about regulation.
because your data is directly controlled by firms with too much influence, who have shown a willingness to discriminate against non-Leftists.
I find the cognitive dissonance of the far-right to be absolutely amusing.
Maybe if we break them up, people will stop being glued to their cell phones in a "fear of missing out" fugue of frenzied exploration of vapid drama and ego-promotion that leaves no one feeling good about life. These companies are a net negative for our society, and in self-defense we can remove them.
If it were any other company/website then you would be screaming about the "nanny state" at the top of your lungs.
Betteridge got it right, again. Facebook, Twitter and Google all have viable alternatives that are easy to access, the fact that few use them is irrelevant. Also, there is little standing in the way of people setting up their own alternatives to all of these platforms. There are things that need investigating at Facebook and Google but I know of nothing warranting breaking them up.
Before you condemn me, I hate Facebook, think social media is scourge on society. However, it seems like more than anything else that this is just sour grapes over how these private businesses conduct themselves. There is an argument to be made for the social good but it defies every argument put forth by Republicans over governments interfering with businesses. If you want to do what's best for society then you also need to behave consistently.
They are quarter million dollar tractors with a high level of complexity so no he's not about to go rip out the ECU and replace it with something that barely functions. -_-;
Like anyone on Slashdot gives a shit about California farmers.
You're right, few here care about the farmers but we do care about the status of Right To Repair legislation. It should be obvious that this kind of legislation is applicable to DRM and service schemes everywhere to keep tech savvy people (like slashdotters) out. You may be surprised to hear it but tons of stuff (like your car, various smart devices, etc) are all "you don't really own it" things.
That said, I do have a friend (via IRC) that is a tech savvy farmer (in Iowa) and I would like him to hack and repair his tractors to his heart's content.
There seems to be an awful lot of people who have become "butthurt" before the election has even taken place.
This is interesting because I'm pretty sure these are the same people who have repeated "Hillary lost, get over it" and denigrated their political counterparts for being "snowflakes" for the last two years. It's become painfully clear that these people are projecting their own issues onto others which mean they don't really believe "their" victory was legitimate and they are in fact in a fragile state ("snowflakes").
It was confirmed before the 2016 elections took place that there was blatant interference from Russian state-actors by the US intelligence agencies (who until after the election) were considered impartial by everyone (until their conclusions came into conflict with beliefs of "snowflakes").
In the mean time, control of 2/3 of the US government has been in hands of one political party and they've absolutely wrecked the place and international standing of the US. Many have seen this happening and so a strong rebuke from voters is imminent. Meanwhile Russian actors are continuing their campaign of interference and this time social media is going to act to counter it as well as they can. These "snowflakes" see the backlash coming and have prepared for a psychologically devastating comeuppance so they are already dismissing the election results before there has even been an election. The reality is that these social media companies are doing what they should have done previously and are countering the Russian interference campaign.
To all of the "snowflakes," I'm not sorry for what is about to happen because you have enabled all the wrong people to lead our government. I don't mind if "you" win elections but I do mind if the elected do not uphold their oath of office by failing to perform their duties.
If you look at the realtime prices, you'll see that that both bitcoin and bitcoin cash are crashing again. Cryptocurrency has been on a downward trend since it peaked last December. Buying any of it is just throwing money away.
I don't think so, Xiaomi has yet to be found collecting information about all the websites you visit and which app you run and for how long while making it impossible to disable. That's hitting rock Microsoft.
So why DID the people call? Because they wanted to talk to a human. They probably never put a floppy into their machine and as many people, where suddenly blind.
I've also found this to be true and I also find it to be one of the most frustrating human behaviors. Some people seem to be paralyzed by fear, unable to cope with uncertainty and thus demand someone hold their hand to walk them though the process. What makes it worse is that this isn't something they get over, it's a pattern of behavior.
What really matters here is if we are talking about if this is a lot of code that has a direct effect on the functionality of all kernels or if this is really about code for specific kernel drivers. Last I read, the kernel core was like 2M LOC while kernel drivers made up 31M LOC.
So, according to Internets, in the UK you can't just get divorced, you need to have a reason. (Internets would lie to me would it?)
In order to start divorce proceedings in England or Wales, you first need to have been married for at least 12 months.
To file a divorce petition against your spouse you must prove to the court that your marriage has irretrievably broken down by establishing one of the following grounds for divorce:
* Adultery * Desertion * Unreasonable Behaviour * Separation of 2 years with consent * Separation of 5 years - no consent required
I sure there are legit cases of addiction to gaming but I get the feeling that it's really just one contributing factor to an unhappy marriage that is being used as an easy target for "Unreasonable Behaviour". The real question is if the number of divorces has increased or have the reasons for divorce simply shifted.
When you are architecting software, this is actually something you should keep in mind. If you keep things simple then people can actually use your software. However, if you complicate things because you're "smarter" than the users then you can congratulate yourself on that but you have failed the users despite your length documentation.
Yeah, SCOTUS felt the same way about most everything in the New Deal.
"In the preceding decades, the Court had struck down a laundry list of Progressive legislation – minimum-wage laws, child labor laws, agricultural relief laws, and virtually every element of the New Deal legislation that had come before it."
It seems awfully familiar to me as progressive legislation is often forced to drag our nation (kicking and screaming) into a better future that the easily-fooled insist is wrong and evil.
The problem with that statement is that what's considered a plastic is chemical diverse. We do know some plastics do not have the kind of negative heath effects that BPA has because they are far more chemically stable. If you read the actual study, you'll see this is only in relation to "structurally similar bisphenols", not plastics in general.
The real problem we have here is that companies have been allowed to use any old molecular structure in their products they wish without proving anything about the health impacts it may or may not impart.
The things of real consequence here are the cost savings and how well the road can stand up to heavy loads. If it doesn't perform well in those two areas then it will get limited use. It might be exactly what Zwolle wants, Hell it might even be great for all of the Netherlands but for widespread use, one must consider global applications.
Look, guys, it's not whatever you were thinking. I hate to admit it but I'm the reason they shut the place down. Honestly, I had no idea that RIAA would go so crazy that I was torrenting/seeding a crappy Justin Bieber album and ignored the DMCA notices. I'm really sorry, I didn't think it was that big a deal, really.;)
If you post factual information then people will be interested in knowing. If you posts a meme claiming some crazy conspiracy shit with absolute no factual backing then it's going to get taken down. Infowars isn't a news source.

He was sentenced to 9 months in prison and ordered to pay approximately 8,000 Euros in costs and damages.
I'm looking forward to reading his review of the prison on TripAdvisor! ;)

Google To Kill Its Developers On A Fabric Platform in Mid-2019, Pushes Developers To Firebase
This was almost a really exciting story.
Look, guys, it's not whatever you were thinking. I hate to admit it but I'm the reason they shut the place down. Honestly, I had no idea that RIAA would go so crazy that I was torrenting/seeding a crappy Justin Bieber album and ignored the DMCA notices.

Most people I know(liberal/conservative) only post pictures of friends and families, pets, social events, vacations, or just personal shit.
Then they are very unlikely to be fact checked.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE POINT of the Fact check.
To stop idiots from posting and reposting memes with misleading information and flat out lies that are nothing more than propaganda.
We are so fucked...
If by "We" you mean QAnon followers and their Infowars buddies, then yes, you are fucked.
Any unauthorized facts will be checked
Is that the new name of alternative facts?
If you post factual information then people will be interested in knowing. If you posts a meme claiming some crazy conspiracy shit with absolute no factual backing then it's going to get taken down. Infowars isn't a news source.
