I watch more YouTube than anything else on a daily basis, and I would be perfectly fine watching my favorite creators on another platform. If it actually works and keeps those creators happy, then I'm happy. Competition in the marketpl

I'm not going to criticize you for your diet choices. I just ask you don't do the same to me, and act like we haven't evolved to eat other animals like so many other species.

Maybe once we evolve into herbivores, we'll look back in disgust. But until then my kids have incisors and eyes on the front of their face, just like their mother and I, and most predators on the planet. If you want to have a conversat

I've worked with a lot of people who could be charged with creating logic bombs in everything they touch. I guess the difference is they were creating them out of ignorance. But the end result was the same, since the company would begi

I'd be curious to see where this fine goes. From what I seen most FTC fines go to "the U.S. Treasury for general use". Not even Congress gets a chance to mismanage it. Then again, if they take it out of circulation, maybe it

Don't be afraid to hop in the shower real quick if you have a nasty event. Doesn't mean you have to have a full shower.

I spend maybe $25 a year on games for myself, maybe seeing something at a re-seller at the mall. I spend hundreds on my son who just recently figured out why Garry's Mod is fun, and is finally able to play Mario by himself and not just

Out of curiosity, what servers do you frequent? Or is it more personal servers that you and your friends run?

This made me laugh, because I was quite young when I first got into it. Though I was never anything more than an op in a few channels.

I miss the wild west, sue me. My entire life wasn't on whatever system I was using, so it wouldn't have mattered if someone messed it up. I don't miss the hardware of the time, but at least the web wasn't sterilized and

I'm glad Freenode has a user base for work related stuff, but I man do I miss when Undernet or Dalnet was still popular. I know I'll never run into my mother on IRC, and it is probably because of the format.

Web Assembly, it might not become everything I hope it does, but it has the potential to be a game changer.

It really seems important to know whether the video is real or a horror movie.

I don't see how an average person could be expected to witness some of the things mentioned in the article. I didn't have time to read the entire article, but do they have counselors on staff or something? That one paragraph about

I miss Kickass, they were my favorite for years. I guess I always thought things would go back to IRC once all of these sites got taken down. While I was still getting everything I wanted on Undernet or Dalnet, I remember thinking it was br

You mean you don't want to sign up for 15 different services, essentially paying more than you used to for cable, just to see all the things you used to see on cable?

There's these entire ecosystems of people involved in something that most everyone I know couldn't care less about. I don't think I've ever been on Instagram, and I wouldn't go to Coachella if it were free. I have a

I remember visiting the local newspaper as a kid, seeing the presses working. The people had a lot of pride in their job. I don't know what the answer is, but it makes me sad that it's becoming less important to people.

Shot two people in Congress, but yeah, I guess they didn't kill anyone. Way to brush things off.

I'm pretty amazed as well, honestly. I think people get too emotional when you even discuss this topic. I may disagree, I may even be offended, but so what. Downvoting to oblivion, blocking, banning dissenting opinions is literal censo

If there's an active plan as you mention, that works, then I say go for it. But it sounds like a far cry from the magical wonder lands you see in cities where people are just shooting up and passing out where kids used to go play. Anyt

It feels like apathy to me. It's a lot of effort and money to deal with individual drug problems. People end up on the street with their addiction after their family and friends fail to get them to face reality. Maybe there's some

by Pigo 7y ago
I don't buy that at all. No one continues to use drugs because it's a thrill, or it's fun to shoplift and commit crimes. They continue to use because they're addicted. I don't believe there is an easy solution for t

I didn't know this was happening in Francisco, that is a very disturbing map. I've been hearing a lot about similar problems in Portland, and the local government not facing them. But I guess it makes sense since the only state th

I've seen teams of people working on a flash app to produce a handful of reports for one general, who would look at it occasionally, or not at all. There are guys who work there entire careers to maintain this one small, outdated appli

I understand why people laugh at the stories I tell from there, I laugh at it now that my time is over. But when you're in it, it's just disheartening. No one wants to tell their grandkids "I was in a lot of meetings, and I w

There's probably some truth to it, but there is probably some confirmation bias to his story. I have no love for big companies with horrible corporate culture. But this is like a Yelp review from an unsatisfied customer, might be true,

I contracted with a branch of Lockheed. While I couldn't/shouldn't talk about any of the technology involved, I can attest to the culture I witnessed. I always assumed it was horrible because of the government affiliation. Bu
