They may have tried to influence the voters, but there is no confirmation of interference.
Any attempt to influence the outcome of an election (easily) qualifies as interference.
But the democrats won't admit that maybe the contents of the DNC's correspondence is what cost them the election
If you want to wallow in the failings of the Democratic National Committee, that's fine as I have no love for them. However, the concern here is Russia's ties to the current administration.
People care about expensive items because replacing them costs a lot of money. If you want your chromebook knock-off to cared for then you should price it like it's valuable. If you can't do that because it doesn't seem valuable then people will treat it like that soon-to-be-trash that it is.
People also care about things they love because they have gained sentimental value. If you want your chromebook knock-off to cared for then it needs to be nice enough that people love it. If you can't do that because people only tolerate your OS then people will treat it like that soon-to-be-trash that it is.
I suppose every political party that loses needs its conspiracy theories. For Republicans, it was birtherism under Obama. For Democrats, it's Russian conspiracy theories under Trump.
Considering Russia's interference (confirmed fact) during the election, it's only prudent to investigate any possible links. Even republicans know that.
This is what get you with this guy: used and thrown away. Sounds like Comey wasn't willing to help bury the investigation into the mango-in-chief's ties to Russia. With the way the swamp is being "drained" in DC, I expect the new head of the FBI to be someone from the mob.;)
You seem to be misunderstanding my grievance. The problem isn't what it is or how you use it but rather it's code architecture and the ungodly amount of computer code used to construct it. I'm talking about C code, not command line shit.
Ahh -- the more bugs reported and fixed the better it gets..
This assumes that at some point they are fixing bugs faster than they are adding new ones but in general, yes.
Anyway - the anti systemd folks are rather wrong.
I'm not against the concept of systemd, I'm against the implementation of systemd. Basically, it's a train wreck of waaaay too much code with little to no documentation. However, I strongly object to code that depends on a specific init system.
I've been enjoying most everything Microsoft's done since the release of Windows 8 because all the poor choices are continually creating opportunities for competitors and weakens the resolve of people who "cannot" leave Windows. I'm really like the new self-destruct mode that Microsoft has invoked, I just wish they would outsource more of their coding.;)
Publicly owned businesses become focused on one thing and only one thing: profit. This is not good for Canonical or it's users because some very unpopular decisions will be made in the name of profit. Then again, perhaps it's time for Canonical to die because their past decisions haven't been much better.
At best progressives will lecture them about how their jobs aren't coming back, they should learn to code, go to university, and move to the rich enclaves on the coasts.
A) It's not "progressives" that said their jobs weren't coming back, it's the industry leaders. B) Anyone who says, "you should learn to code" to an adult doesn't have a fucking clue because programmers know it's not for everyone and they rather not have more competition. C) More people are finally realizing that universal basic income is where we need to go to help everyone out in this time of transition.
conservatives figure out that it's better to pretend to listen, rather than to lecture those with less money, worse jobs and lower life expectancy on how they are all privileged transphobic racists and deserve their lot because of it.
I would have thought the push to keep the ACA around would have made it clear that "progressives" want everyone to live regardless of personal wealth. Perhaps you should stop pretending to listen and actually listen to other people.
They revealed true, but damaging, information about the Democratic candidate in the United States. [...] Is that democracy in action? Is that hijacking democracy?
Despite being true it's hijacking due to it's timing. Last minute revelations fall under the category of FUD because they are intended to evoke a reflexive psychological response which is definitely something that happened in the US. I think this is why the French have a law against campaigning immediately before the vote.
He is telegraphing that he intends to make his problem, yours, whether you like it or not.
What you are inferring is closer to paranoia than a logical conclusion. I'm telling you that the problems we face will be the same and not because of anything either of us has done. The point is to cause you to logically reconsider your position in regard to the situation because your initial assessment may be flawed.
You said 7 years, but only 2 years ago a major milestone was added which included millions of more users in many new edge cases
No, 2 years ago they switched to github (from sourceforge?), that's why the graph only has two years.
Your theory is similar to how economists think companies should perform: and endless stream of increasing profits. You don't get an endless stream of bugs
My point is Systemd is going to be replaced before they finally catch up with all the bugs,
Like everything it will taper unless someone decides to do a ground up re-write of systemd.
I don't think it will be a rewrite but rather a replacement with similar functionality that is more modular as to be broken into several projects.
No, "We're in this together" means we share something in common. In this particular case, people in the US are part of a single capitalism based economic system regardless of their own political affiliation or beliefs.
If you are so blind that you cannot see that then you need to take a break from politics because your viewpoint has become so heavily distorted that it has no bearing on reality.
"Work under capitalism is a brutal psychological gauntlet -- low pay, long hours, and little to no safety net."
Compared to what?
Why does it need comparison? Is it not a brutal psychological gauntlet with increasingly lower pay, long hours and little to no safety net? The minimum wage isn't increasing as the value of money decreases or as productivity increases. Office working hours were previously a total of 8 hours where now it's 9 hours. Our social safety nets are really lacking.
Just because brutality is par for course doesn't make it any less brutal.
This is just another example of Slashdot leftwing clickbait, because evidently covering actual News For Nerds is evidently too boring compared to launching yet another left vs. right flamewar.
How is this a partisan issue? Are people on one side of the political spectrum not working at all or something? We're in this together, bro.
Not really. If you are spreading misinformation or FUD to influence voters then you are "hijacking" democracy. If you are merely promoting the truth to influence voters then it's called campaigning.
What makes one different from the other is that democracy is designed around the idea that people will vote for what is in there interest (altered by misinformation) rather than reflexively (altered by FUD).
That's the wonderful problem with adoption in Linux, things take time.
not at all. after red hat started using it (because they deemed it "good enough"), it was adopted quite quickly. the problem here is a fundamental one of design, scope and (lack of) documentation.
I've examined some of the source but the sheer amount of code involved is absurd. With so much code, they cannot help but have an endless supply of bugs.

Harry Reid demanded he resign back in December...
I'll one up you, I said he should have resigned a year ago.
It's about time Drumpf cleaned out that bit of the swamp.
The only problem is that the people he chooses are making it all the more swampy. Or did you not notice he's only hiring the 1%?
