"The world is ending because cyberattacks" or something, whatever to get the panic levels up in the public, because hey, panic sells views. Attacks have been ongoing for literal years, but we had a nice war on terror and then a re

Cyber-attacks like this have been happening for years without getting reported on. Who was keeping people ignorant then?

Haiku does some amazingly impressive things software-only, drag & drop and scroll really don't need hardware acceleration. If they do, there's a problem with your code. Mind you, I can do real-time 1080p mp4 video scrubbing

Dying? Probably not. Becoming less useful? Absolutely. Finding answers to very specific problems? Eh, it's still ok. Searching for specific content? It's fukken gahbage.

I love the shameless promotion.

We had a normal sound system. We even had two! OSS and Alsa. And then Pulse ate up twenty years of devtime of an innumerable amount of devs to become somewhat usable.

Two points. 1. If you think this only relevant to white men - you are an incredibly privileged racist. 2. Yes, you can leave your politics at home if you work for Raytheon. Because if you work for Raytheon - you by default need to subscri

In the end, modern political activism doesn't keep the lights on, it doesn't improve the quality of your workers' output, the quality of your team, etc. Coinbase's tack while maybe seeming extreme to many is quite solid

MLB: "These voter ID laws are terrible, let's move the game to a state with stricter voter ID laws, that'll show 'em!" Ok.

A small group of very loud, and generally (unfortunately) rather unproductive people is doing just that. But then again, if the response is to kowtow to the activists and not fire them for not doing their job - then I suppose I have no remo

Considering the media propping up stories about how free speech is unnecessary and barbaric in our new and modern society, and making censorship a cultural norm - giving an inch is more than giving a mile.

They're doing exactly the same type of yellow journalism that the NYT and CNN is doing, just with a bend you happen to not agree with. Nothing far-right about that.

The deafening silence in these comments is telling of how boned free speech proper actually is. Hope you all are enjoying the "free speech for me, but not for thee" attitude of this neo-feudalism that we live in.

Maybe if you stopped baselessly accusing me of all sorts of random shit, I would be more willing to listen to what your project has to say.

We see you're feeling down citizen, here's some targeted advertising so you can spend your money with us citizen. It's for your good, citizen. The question is, how much is Amazon paying me for my data? Oh, nothing? Yeah, nope
