If your tree falls on my house, I need to know who to sue for damages. If your failure to adequately look after drainage causes flood conditions, same. Insert any number of ways your property could cause damage to the person or property of

Significant stock ownership is pretty public through 8k forms. The SEC doesn't require reporting every trade of a few million dollars because it generally doesn't make a difference anyway. And you CAN access time and sales data in

For years, Google Groups supported Usenet access. Usenet faded because it wasn't monetizable, outside of subscription based binary providers (who were in large part turning around and pumping that money into the legal defense funds, be

There's a lot of talk about Chrome and Firefox. It seems simple to me -- Brave literally pays me in crypto to use it on desktop, and Firefox Nightly has by far the best extension support on mobile (I've had bypass-paywalls on the

It's a shame we'll never truly know how many people have lost their lives due to seatbelt laws being overly narrow in how they define the requirements of seatbelts. If not for these foolish laws we'd likely have the option t

Microsoft has had the sense to let Linux become the dominant OS on its cloud provider. Where it's the right tool for the job at hand, I suspect Nadella's Microsoft would be perfectly fine with being built on Linux.

Just saw "Est 1999" on the top of the page. Guess they get a pass for old site design.

I tried to make use of a new site to know about but I can't even figure out why anyone would use this instead of just grabbing songs off of youtube with youtube-dl or Newpipe. This feels like music piracy circa right before Napster.

I assume Sony was just trying to hit this site with the Slashdot effect by taking this action as an indirect DDOS.

"If you don't have to work in a mine, you drink less." Uh...if you have to work with the public, or incompetent people, you may be driven to drink more. The people who work in infosec seem to be the drunkest I know. They do

I used Slackware, among quite a few others in the early 00's. Moved to Ubuntu and Debian for awhile, but then got too busy to deal with all the questionable design decisions, and have been back on Slackware for the last 5-7 years or so

Just to pour some water on this otherwise joyful news, the ratio of desktop computers to average people is in decline as mobile devices and smart tv's render them redundant for the casual users for whom even Windows was always too comp

I think the inclusion of the scroll wheel on modern mice helped fuel this trend. Scrolling was a lot more onerous when you only had 2 (or 1!) button mice, and you had to actually go navigate to the scrollbar in order to scroll (or switch t

You think it's bad; try working a phone support role where part of the job is helping people navigate around on your company's website. Sure, some of us get accustomed to the "hamburger" and "kebab" menus, but

Amusing that philosophy always ends up in these hypothetical lists of "less useful" degrees. At least when I was in college 15 years ago, it was topping many lists of most sought out degrees in business magazines, because problem

Just like the fact that Hollywood got its start because the film studios moved out west to get out of the reach of Edison's lawyers when it came to his patents on film technology. It's hypocritical turtles all the way down.

I suspect it's more that aspartame indirectly causes cancer, which is why it doesn't look, walk, or quack like a duck, but it DOES have a habit of feeding the ducks. What I mean by that is that candida LOVES aspartame, and candid

SysV isn't so much the problem; the old Debian/Redhat standard init scripts for it were the absolute mess. Slackware's implementation of SysV is something I've never had a complaint about. That said, OpenRC also looks t

That's a valid take. Though, not all videos are equally ad-ridden. I suspect if I were to start using rss to subscribe to channels I'd be favoring those that don't make much use of them. But yes, it's not so cut and dr

Fuck Beta. Soylent News was a nice spinoff that the refugees founded, and it is still going, but it does suffer from a bit of a dearth of userbase. The codebase is pretty old, but design wise, it's the old Slashdot you remember from d

It very likely costs a bit if you think of it like a bean counter, in terms of "lost ad views." Though in fairness, if you're using RSS to browse Reddit, and you're not using an ad-blocker, you sound like you've all

This is literally the way I used Reddit for pretty much the entire time I did. I don't get how anyone tolerates the actual site. And it's how I use Lemmy now that I've switched over. Youtube...that may be handy for. But I t
