To me it's an important point. We're all being worn down so much by these idiotic mistakes and intrusions that it's just another Thursday when it happens, like school shootings. I don't know what the great filter looks l

Right -- so pandering to their listeners is OK then?

If it was properly funded? Quite possibly. If it had the same funding as Youtube's ad revenue then I think you'd have all those, but maybe a lot less of PewPewDie and Dude Perfect.

Ummm whose preferences are they supposed to be pandering to?

by troyvit 1y ago
I disagree with you but damn I don't get the downvotes. Every news org has an angle, and that angle often (but not always) follows revenue. I like to believe that NPR's angle follows the revenue they generate from their listeners.

I work for a local public radio station under NPR. First the funny part: public media stations are adamant that those aren't "ads" but are "sponsorships", as advertising would break their mission of being a non-comm

I personally believe money crimes should have money punishments and corporal crimes could have corporal punishments. If you steal from me and go to jail how did I benefit? If you steal from me and I get a bunch of $ for pain and suffering a

I was about to go on a rant about, "Why is it ethical to put people in jail for doing things that only affect money? Was anybody at JPMorgan hurt as bad as jail will hurt this person?" But you already answered the question.

I might try Fedora now that kde-neon is going the immutable route via kde linux. That said one of my most stable times with KDE was installing it over Pop!_OS. It was rock solid.

Being blocked from a web site and having to hit a little box are two different things. Are you talking about the former or the latter? If it's the former ... that has literally never happened to me unless I'm on a VPN and even the

Man it sounds like an android phone where the vendor only supports a few releases. Is that the model they're trying for or did they just land there?

No no no we don't need a sustainable answer to the cancer of ads on the internet, that would break capitalism and send the world sliding into chaos! No, see, what we need is AI in our browsers. That is going to transform things.

I feel the same about Firefox's vision, although I admit I haven't tried it. Often when I visit a place like chat.mistral.ai Firefox gives a weird popup that says something about "don't you wish you didn't have to o

Funny. Using Discord through Firefox I can't even copy links out of a conversation. Additionally, for some reason as of two weeks ago every time I click on a channel name it opens in a new tab. I'm not sure what that's runnin

Slack doesn't even know this is happening. I get the feeling the decision on SF's part was as autonomic as scratching an itch.

I consider it the frugal man's GUI. Right now looking at top, any time I load a browser tab with Jira content chromium spikes to the top of the list. I'm not even doing anything with it.

I see what you're saying and it exposes a gap in my logic. I think the reason _I_ see it as hard is because I live in one of those gaps, so service is relatively limited compared to places further east with more density. Buuut the whol

I've been using KDE since before Wayland was a twinkle in RedHat's eye, so trust me when I say that Wayland has always come across as an afterthought from KDE. I'm not saying it was, but given all the issues KDE users have ha
