  1. If you don't already have a classic car, then it's time to get one.

  2. The fact that an OS vendor has implemented a "feature" that deletes your files when they detect something they don't like is proof that we NEED Linux, all of the BSD's and any other open source operating system and everyone should move to such a system now.

  3. Maybe it's because I live in a hot state or because I'm hot blooded, but I'd rather have the thermostat a little higher. I set mine at 78F and I feel great. That said, even if the company set mine exactly where I like it, I still wouldn't cede control to them. I'd rather sink $100K into buying solar panels and going fully off grid than let them control anything I own.

  4. It's kind of funny to me that Apple's anti-consumer practices lead the way with every other company scrambling to keep up, yet every time they get a cool "new" feature that keeps the zombies locked in to that walled garden, Android had it first. Humanity is doomed.

  5. I'm going to say up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A.

  6. I can't seem to find anyone to agree with me on this, but freedom of movement is a right and the means by which you exercise that right are at your discretion, not the government's. I look at this the same way I look at the right to self defense, but oddly, most don't understand my position.

  7. Especially when you consider that they don't ever lower the price. Tiny revisions that are nothing more than typo corrections will have them arguing that edition 10 of some obscure book warrants keeping the price at $150.
    54
  8.  @OutOfNamesToChoose  True, but it is we the people who should remember that when our government fears us we have democracy, and when we fear the government we have tyranny.

  9. And of course use a 220V outlet for the PC as well. Have you seen how big those plugs are?

  10. I don't think these federated replacements will ever truly work out. The whole point of social media is to connect with people and federated replacements simply don't connect enough people. They lead to further isolation, both of communities in general and users that people just don't like. What we really need is one central authority that isn't evil. That will never happen, of course, but if we could find such a group of people, then that would be the way to do it. It's a shame so many evil people are in positions of power.

  11. Any chance you could add in the ability to rebind the keys? I'd love to use my gamepad to play it. Also, will you be adding colors to the Pokete's at some point?
    44
  12.  @nogo7277  Your grammar could use some work. Are you trying to say that guns aren't common and people don't die from being mugged? Because if that's what you're saying, I don't believe you.
    42
  13.  @p_x_  Agreed with both. I'd also like people to stop using SMS based 2FA as it's really not secure.
    39
  14.  @kaydog890  Yeah, forget freedom. You don't need to worry about an OS deleting your games because your license has expired and it knows it. You don't need to worry about anticheat slowing "your" system down because you'll just pay the company more money or you'll buy a bigger and better computer just to get around the lag caused by the anticheat. Nope, because you stood your ground, you can game. No need to push them to port games to Linux, just pay more money.

  15. To be fair, Bluetooth barely works anywhere. Every time I connect a device to a new computer or phone or whatever, it takes a million tries to get it connected and then refuses to connect to anything else unless I force a disconnect on the prior device.
    33
  16. It all goes to the black budget. Secret operations in other countries to assassinate foreign assets. Fund foreign governments that aren't currently hostile towards us, etc.
    31
  17. That is a hilarious typo and I hope you don't edit it out. I'm definitely using it in the future for anyone that uses too much duct tape.

  18. What'd be really cool is if they succeeded, either in getting a celebrity arrested or getting someone to take up the cause of privacy. Both would be awesome. Jimmy Fallon should be in jail for his attempts at comedy.
    29
  19.  @crazycoffee  Yeah, that's heartbreaking. Especially when you see WW2 era Thompson's being thrown in.
    24
  20. I think to really have true security and privacy, we'd need to have an entirely new internet with a new standard. Just as a point of contention, I think the browser shouldn't report the height of the canvas or screen, and the width should be adjusted to account for a standard defined scroll bar so that everyone who has the same resolution but changes the scroll bar width would be reported as the same width.
    24
  21.  @Wheagg  Technically it's not real JIT, rather it compiles everything before it then runs it and it stays in memory. Real JIT would alter the code as its running to optimize it further. Though it's still impressive to think that most of the system is compiled at start up instead of pre-emptively.
    23
  22. I'm starting to think that the kernel is full of privilege escalation exploits. A new one seems to be found every other month. :|
    20
  23. Yeah, because that's what you want at the kernel level, a bunch of newbies who don't know what they're doing and falsely believe that the language they've been goaded into using will make their code safe.
    19
  24.  @FrederickTheAnon14W  If they try to force the issue, they'll almost certainly take it slow by grandfathering in older cars for a decade or so. Have you heard the boiling frog analogy? If they move too quickly they'll have a revolt on their hands.

  25.  @prgnify  Commercial Unix was closed source, but UNIX got most of its development in universities where it was open. Tinkering was most definitely the name of the game.
    18
  26.  @nogo7277  Ah okay, so it's lying then. No one is going to give their money to a mugger without a weapon unless they're really dumb, and a mugger with a weapon while their victims are defenseless is just going to result in more deaths of the victims while the mugger gets away with it.

  27. I think I need my eyes checked. I'd swear it looked like your profile photo was some cartoon owl, but when I looked closer I think it's a disembodied head floating around a coffee cup.
    16
  28. I'm not so sure that it'll be a security issue being in the GPU, but definitely buggy. Sometimes the ordering really does matter and reordering stuff seems like a bad idea no matter where its being executed from.
    15
  29.  @nogo7277  When you account for violent deaths in general, you're absolutely wrong. You're looking at the guns as unique and the qualifying part of the stat when it's violence that is the qualifier. If you're murdered, are you going to care whether it was with a knife or a gun. No, you aren't, and it doesn't matter. To equate things the way you are is misleading at best, evil at worst. Violence is violence.
    15
  30.  @nogo7277  I can't provide links on YT, but what you're talking about is misleading with stats. Homicides are being counted falsely because they label any death with a gun a homicide, but that word has a very specific definition, and two thirds of gun related deaths are in fact suicide, and a portion of the remainder are from self defense and not homicide.
    15
  31. Yes, exactly, and Epic should be shamed for it. I think UE is the best engine there is, but I refuse to use it because of this. Not that I'm too cheap to pay money for one, but if the barrier to entry is them knowing who I am before I've got a product ready, then they've lost me. I'm sure at least a few others feel the same way. One of the myriad reasons I use so much open source software, no one gets to know who I am unless I want them to.
    14
  32. I'm continuing to think that making a new internet and starting from scratch isn't such a bad idea. I've been developing my own programming language and part of what I want to use it for is to replace all web technologies in one go. For a while there I thought there's no way anyone would use it and almost gave up on it. With what I've been seeing the past few years I'm thinking that I should hurry up and finish it and release it to the wild because it feels like people need it now more than ever.
    14
  33. Every bit helps. I would like to have someone like that checking my projects.
    14
  34.  @arandomhumanbeing2464  Working differently doesn't mean worse. iOS users expect things a certain way, so a feature might only get copied once they can figure out how it works in their ecosystem, and sometimes it doesn't which is why not every feature gets copied. On a tangent, what does that say about Windows when it copies all of its ideas from elsewhere and makes them worse?
    14
  35. I've never had flan, but now that you've shown me how I just may give it a try making one myself. Looks really simple to make, looks like cheese cake, and all this time I figured it would be complex and be like jello.
    14
  36. I see this as a bad idea, and it's going to catch on here as well. Opt out you're screwed. As for nmap, I use it on occasion myself. It's a pretty useful program for all kinds of different things.
    14
  37.  @JodyBruchon  It'd be cool though if less websites relied as heavily on javascript. I don't know about you, but I'd love see websites that just used TeX to layout everything and reserve any programming for offline usage. Maybe go back to the separate applet like when java was still used, but with a better language than java.
    13
  38. Yeah, one evil PoS roasting another for getting there first. Then 2 to 5 years later, if it even takes that long, he'd just copy the "feature" anyway. No thanks, we don't need a useless peddler of shiny gadgets to give his take. Forget Jobs, RIP Dennis Ritchie.

  40. But then who's face has he been showing every time he faces the camera?

  41.  @crazycoffee  Let's hope they don't make all of those old repairable vehicles illegal within our lifetimes.
    12
  42.  @ShapesWithoutColors  He might mean with Sprint.
    12
  43. I don't post videos, but if this happened to me I think I'd just quit the internet.
    12
  44. Companies that do that are evil, and I applaud whoever bypassed that garbage.
    11
  45.  @pluto8404  Meta definitely sucks, but they're not the only one pushing for that future. It's all of them.
    11
  46. They should, starting with the original UE1 and work their way up. Except Tim Sweeney has stated in the past that they don't have the rights to release the source code for any of the third party tools and libraries they used. This is definitely a part of why our copyright lifespans need to be reset to what they were in the 1790's.

  47.  @supercalifragilistaphobic2146  Or what flash games are/were. I miss those days so much.

  48.  @tunina6421  As someone who has been using Linux for over 20 years I find that funny, in a rather macabre way. It's actually as easy to use as Windows and often easier, as well as definitively more secure. Our government is a joke, but that's par for the course as most governments around the world are.

  49.  @osmiumforge  Yeah, his next adventure is slaying bugs on the hub, plus 1000xp for each one pulled.

  50.  @schwingedeshaehers  You can download it for "free" regardless of OS you use, but you have to give them your information to do so. I don't have a problem with building it myself. I don't even object to their license for using the source code, which is actually rather generous to indie developers. It's the information they want for mere access that I object to. Perhaps you think that's a weird stance, but that's just how I feel about it.
    9
  51. No way. If Satan is anywhere on Earth, it's Los Angeles.

  52.  @oceanbytez847  Hopefully Linux phones become viable and we stop having these issues. But I'm not holding my breath.
    8
  53. Yes, definitely show how to make your own cloud. More people need to do that instead of paying a third party to hold their data for them.

  54. I'm starting to think I need to put together my own motherboard. There are a number of open source designs, might be a fun project.
    8
  55.  @pi4795  Yeah, that is a problem. But if it's not intentional, then no one should use twitter. And if it is intentional, then no one should use twitter. Either stupidity or evil is the cause, and both are reasons to not trust them at all, especially with real information.

  67. I agree with most of what you said here, but the Note 3 was a bad example for a device that shouldn't be used to run a PS2 emulator. When it was new it was a flagship model for Samsung and by the 10x rule of thumb in emulation is more than powerful enough to this day to run a PS2 emulator, and I can confirm that certain games will run at full speed on it. The only reason why some games still don't run at full speed on such devices is because either the games were highly unoptimized or the emulator author hasn't finished accounting for everything, such as using a shader to reduce CPU load and pass that onto the GPU. Although, if the authors were more capable and could implement a proper dynarec then that too would reduce a lot of resource requirements.
    6
  68.  @kpcraftster6580  I completely agree. Charging a suspect with murder for exercising their right to self defense when they're served an unconstitutional no-knock warrant is just wrong. It further compounds the theft of their rights, and all merely because they were suspected in some unrelated crime. Also, I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, but the slippery slope is real. They will abuse whatever power they get and take it 10 steps further.

  69.  @chuck948  Learn the art of machining and make your own.

  70.  @jacksonbourne  Yeah, don't use the standard, easy, clear, concise method, use this new one which is safe and tells you it's safe by requiring all of these extra keywords. You know, instead of making the standard, easy, clear and concise method safer.

  73. I suspect it was a joke, because no way he doesn't know what it is yet pronounces it correctly.
    6
  74.  @unformed  I can't really help with the games because they either do or they don't and it depends on the types of games you play. Granted you could run them through a VM and they'd be 100% compatible, but then you'd still be running Windows, and it'd be an extra layer which, depending on your machine, may slow things down unacceptably. I'll have to look into flowlauncher to even attempt helping with that, because I've never heard of it. As for screenshots I use Spectacle and I'm not sure what feature you want that it may be missing. I've got all the shortcuts set up to screenshot the whole desktop, the active window and even to let me draw a rectangle on screen and screenshot that. It can save with a patterned filename, which I setup in the configuration as a time/date stamp, or you can save as whatever filename you want. It can be configured to save to any folder or choose a different one on demand. For me, I set the PrintScreen key to just bring up the window so I can do whatever from there, then WinKey+PrintScreen snaps the whole desktop, Win+Shift+PrtScr for the active window and Win+Ctrl+PrtScr for a rectangle region, but these are just the keys I use.

  77.  @awesomeferret  If someone is saying something false, you should tell them so and correct them, but never report. The moderators will delete with impunity and it is absolutely wrong. Especially given that they will not bother to check for correctness. On the issue of fair use, it's a doctrine but it's not codified in law, technically, while a judge might allow it, it's still illegal and the DMCA codifies the illegality of it.

  78.  @hwstar9416  No, you can use a JavaScript to C translator and then compile that. Won't make it as good as writing directly in C, but it'll compile to machine code.

  79. @The Marquis De Carabas You need to reread what I wrote because you completely misinterpreted what I said. You also missed where I said certain games will run at full speed. Simpson's Hit and Run being one of them. Though, I wasn't using AetherSX2 to play it, so if it doesn't run at full speed with his emulator then he's backwards from where he should be.
    5
  80. @The Marquis De Carabas You are straight up wrong. There's more than just Play!, even on Android, but Play! does in fact run Simpson's Hit and Run at full speed. I've played it on the Note 3 I have with zero issues thus far.

  81. Agreed on their moderation "efforts".

  82. @Barrett I hadn't heard of that before so I had to look it up. Turns out it's even worse, they own 48.4% of Epic. Tencent is like an octopus, they've got tentacles everywhere. I'm not saying that means it's time for high seas adventures with Epic, but someone else might. Not that I'm trying to give anyone any ideas, I'm just saying.

  88.  @charleshines1553  Nah, JS is a bad language, as are Rust, Go, C# and its parent Java. It's also misused by billions worldwide. Eventually Rust will be misused by billions because no one listens to me, but the statement that JS users rewrite everything, that's where it really belongs. Why use perfectly functioning, fully debugged, fast, low memory footprint programs when you can rewrite it in Rust.

  89.  @user-og6hl6lv7p  The date should match the way we tell time. Hours are more relevant than minutes which are more relevant than seconds. The same is true of the year, then month, then day.

  90.  @awesomeferret  It's because it literally is true. The DMCA makes it illegal to copy your own discs. There is no clause in there that respects fair use regardless of what someone else said. Prior to the DMCA passing it was perfectly legal to copy your own things for backup purposes, but not now. Also, stop reporting things for any reason other than spam.
    4
  91. Sounds like a possibly good idea, depending on how its implemented. I suppose if each user took their own security into their own hands and encrypted their files and signed them with their own key then it would eliminate framing attacks for such users as well as data theft.

  93.  @cannaroe1213  As someone who's worked with a lot of CS graduates, I can attest to the fact that while they tend to be able to program, they aren't the best at it. In fact, those with degrees in non-CS fields have been the worst, but generally, the best are those that actually have a passion for programming and learning in general, regardless of degree. Math and anything engineering related tend to be the worst of the worst because they seem to understand optimization the least, but there are exceptions.

  95. @The Marquis De Carabas I get the feeling you don't know shit about development. Writing the core and someone forking it isn't the same as the fork being written by them. Especially if the fork works better. What's more if you have to rewrite bits of the core to get it to work, it's no longer the same core.
    4
  96. @The Marquis De Carabas AetherSX2 isn't PCSX2, regardless of who developed on it. If it uses the same core as you claim, something which can't be proven as AetherSX2 is closed source, then he surely would have made changes as last time I tried it PCSX2 wouldn't even run H&R. You need to look up what a fork actually is.

  98. @@OpenWebChat You just described how it affects them. That's a reason to be opposed to it.

  102. I would definitely not recommend zip encryption. It is very weak and easily bypassed. Even 7zip as several have recommended is a bad idea. PGP is a somewhat odd solution because it's mostly for sending things to someone else on an untrusted network. You could make two public and private keys and make like you're sending it to yourself, but that's awkward. Of course, this would make for a really secure transfer as you could physically transport the keys for your split personality to a secondary location and be mostly sure that the data hasn't been compromised as no one would ever see either public key except for you.

  103. Not that I would condone downloading Linux ISO's, but why would anyone need larger than 720p ISO's as your eyeballs can only take in so much Linux. Linux looks perfect at 720p on a 40inch monitor.

  104. Your average Rust user isn't intelligent enough to do it. And the vulnerability would still exist in a Rust program as well because it's a string parsing error and has nothing to do with the fake promise of memory safety.

  105. I've been using it since before it was even FireFox. Remember when it was called Phoenix? Remember before that when it started as just Mozilla? Although, for a good decade or so I used Opera as my main browser, once they went Chromium they killed my enthusiasm for the internet. Now my only hope is that someone wipes out HTML/CSS/JS and gives us something better. I will probably die hoping.

  106.  @Hexen_Wulf  Sure, and that's always an option, but I'd rather not have to as I'm lazy. Besides, if I started down that path I might not stop until it's an entirely new game. I might start incorporating Sixel into it, and then where would we be.

  109. They already smear my browser by restricting it to 720p, and I refuse to use anything Chromium based, especially now with the manifest v3 fiasco, but they've started going around my ad blocker and playing the sound of ads. Apparently the image of the videos are blocked, but the sound comes through. What makes it worse is they took away a key usage methodology for me to load the page in the background to block autoplay which I have turned off and they still ignore if that page is in focus, but now with ads I literally can't block autoplay ever. TL;DR - Fuck YouTube.

  110.  @RanEncounter  Why not both? Have good public transit so that people can save money and get around, but if they have the funds to drive their own car. Not to mention, in an emergency you won't be able to merely use public transit to say get to a hospital. When seconds count, the next bus is 10 minutes away.

  111.  Skyrkazm 101  That all depends on the distro you use. For newbies I always recommend either Mint or Fedora. They're both super easy to setup and use and they look nice by default. If you want my advice for a desktop environment to use, KDE is easy to use and configure and can look and feel like old Windows with a bunch of extra stuff that IMO makes it far better than Windows was then and now. Or you could take a complete 180º and go with GNOME and you might find you like the change in pace.

  117. I wish people would grow some intelligence and outright ban this technology from being developed. Unfortunately, morons have let the genie out of the bottle and foreign nations are experimenting with the technology and thus the world will be destroyed because of it. Not by it, but because of it. For those too dumb to understand how, consider a person building a bunch of drones with cameras in them and setting up the NN to recognize human shapes and trigger a remote explosive or attached gun to eradicate that shape. Then consider them setting up 3D printers to print as many drones as they can and set up an assembly line and just hit the start button. It doesn't take a particularly large sum of cash to build enough infrastructure, but one can work around the off the shelf component limitation by designing the right process. Once someone intelligent enough and evil enough to execute such a plan comes into the picture, humanity will be doomed. At this point it's just a matter of time.

  146.  @DVRC  I look at things a different way there. CISC allows for faster code execution, and the only reason why x86 has held onto its monopoly all of this time is because they actually did the work. No RISC architecture has kept up, even ARM. They just coast along doing the bare minimum. Sure, more power efficient, but if it takes you 10 times longer to do the same thing and frustrates users it's not any better. Apple is finally trying to compete, but with locked down hardware that you have to hack to use with an alternative with it's not doing RISC architectures any favor. Microkernels are great in theory, but without the industry at large helping to support such a model they're not realistic. All the major OS's are monolithic because it just works. All of the old drivers that are open source could certainly be converted, but to get widespread acceptance we'd need the hardware manufacturers to cooperate and on new hardware especially. Getting such cooperation for Linux is hard enough as it is but imagine trying to get all of those that contributed binary blobs that work one way to go back and change all of their work from the past 5 to 10 years around to another way of working.

So when something goes wrong and you check the return code, you know what went wrong instead of merely where.

To actually see when something was posted was the best, but now it's got to update a counter and that means you never see the real date unless you've just refreshed right as it has ticked over, and then you'll never know it. (Before anyone suggests it, downloading the JSON data for each video is too much effort and I should neither have to do that nor write any kind of plugin to handle it.)

Better to just stick with C and write cleaner code in the idiomatic C way. Also, don't fall into the trap of thinking your code is safe because you write it in X language of choice.

Okay, that last one got a tad specific, but it still pisses me off that my tax dollars are wasted on such garbage and I can't ask for a refund for what I never asked for in the first place from people who stole my money and wasted it. Taxation is theft, and when it's acceptable is when it's actually used for the greater good and not as a punishment for living. The money I earn gets taxed just for it being income, then if I invest it the interest is taxed, and if I buy something with it that is taxed, and if I sell it that is taxed and if I try to give it to my children when I die it gets taxed. If it's land and it's just sitting there it gets taxed, and if I want to build a house on it it has to be approved by some government stooge, and if I ignore them they'll tear it down at my expense and maybe steal the land from me too. I'm sick of it, and our forefathers would be ashamed that we continue to let this theft grow so out of control.

However, I would recommend that if anyone doesn't like their data to be stolen that they should use Linux instead.
    2
  190.  @tone6410  Yep, pretty much what I'm saying. The only way to be sure your data won't be stolen is to use software that you can audit the source of. It's not a guarantee even then because you have to actually audit it or trust those that do, but it's better than any of the big three closed source software companies. The weird thing is, all three have contributed to various open source projects, yet they refuse to open their OS's completely. That's their right, fine, but I won't use them.

And if you really feel it's necessary to pay someone for the OS you use, whether you realize you're doing it or not you certainly are paying for Windows, then you could find a developer working on some open source project and donate a dollar as well as convince all your friends to do the same. If just 0.0014% of the population of the planet donated a dollar, 1 or 2 developers could be paid for an entire year of development time, depending on how much they spend to live. Don't like something about it? Pay someone to bend it to your whims. If anyone bothers to ask, there are companies that actively pay developers to work on open source projects, even the kernel itself has developers that are paid just to develop for the kernel. While most developers donate their time, they'd have a lot more of it to devote towards open source development if people donated money. A lot of people complain about the user interface of various programs, but if there's no one being paid to work on it and the people who are working on a project are focused on making the core functionality work, how can you expect it to get done. In short, donate to open source and it'll get better.

  195.  @pmester228  It'll be a while yet before we're no longer allowed to buy batteries and fuel, but there are more maintenance friendly methods for doing things. For instance, an electric motor is easy to build yourself and if you need to repair one you can store the supplies to create your own magnets and literal tons of copper wire. You can use a gear reduction setup to enable gravity batteries. A motor pulls a heavy weight high into the air while power is available, or possibly you do it yourself with an incline and a sled, then drop it off of the top and it generates electricity as it falls slowly throughout the day. You can even bulk buy Pb and H2SO4 to make your own chemical batteries. Wind generators are even more DIY friendly than solar if you need an easy power source and live somewhere windy. And if push comes to shove, you can always hook a motor to a bicycle and generate your own electricity from your own physical energy.

Moving data around is the most common action that slows things down that computers do. Having instructions capable of reading from memory and operating on that data is faster than dispatching more instructions to process the same data. And variable instruction sizes can allow for higher density in the cache which leads to faster decode and dispatch. I also fully agree with there being a lot of bad software. I've read a lot of code over the years, most of it has been bad.

Although, I would edit Gorilla to speed it up and make the explosions bigger, because that's more fun.

  233.  @WadieGamer  If you're only playing old games it might be perfectly fine. There are even some reverse engineering projects that have done native engine ports for some old games, like for the original Half-Life you could use xash. And since Doom 3's engine is open source it's been ported too. I play the original Unreal quite a bit and it runs perfectly through WINE.

  236.  @gagagero  It kind of is. You have to check for an error then acquire some kind of result from it. So it's a two step process whether you want that or not.
    1
  237.  @vladlu6362  Uh huh, sure. So when you're forced to check for an error you know won't happen, which will make your code slower, the errno method means you don't have to check and your code can run faster. In a critical inner loop that matters. You might need to check for debug code, but Rust will make you check always unless you write a lot more garbage. So either easier to use when you know what you're doing, or harder to use because that's "safe", despite it not actually protecting you from every error. If that's too much for your tiny brain, let's simplify it: C method safer and cleaner, Rust method not safer, not cleaner, more annoying.
    1
  238.  @Chris-on5bt  I already know how it returns, and it's a boolean error condition. Which means you have to do further debugging to get the type of error. If you don't understand that then you've failed to understand why it's wrong. A two path switch isn't as useful as a 20 or 30 path switch that will tell you what error occurred.
    1
  239.  @Chris-on5bt  Or we can directly jump where we need to go instead of having a two step process for determining if there was an error then process that result.

  242. Oh yeah, tech literacy is a huge problem these days, even amongst my fellow techies it can be. People declaring that ChatGPT is AI forgetting that the I means intelligence, being a prime example of such. You're right that people are willfully ignorant now because 60 years is definitely enough, if you ask me, and computers haven't really changed that much in the past two decades. Yeah, faster, more RAM, more storage, blah blah, but basically the same as they were 20 years ago. Most of us even still use x86-based computers and for those that only know crappy ARM devices they generally have no clue how that computer in their pocket actually works and they don't care. Apple's "what is a computer" ad tells you all you need to know about modern humans.

  246. Personally, I don't think humans will ever be capable of creating true AI. Which is really a good thing because if they did, it would destroy them all. You're certainly right about some humans sounding like bots, though, because I've noticed this amongst nearly all left-leaning humans. They're incapable of understanding others point of view and their point of view is entirely programmed into them. Sadly, a lot of so-called open minded people tend to be very close minded. Part of the problem with AI would be that if it was immoral it would kill humans for sport, if it was moral it would kill those who couldn't pass the test and eventually that would be all humans as everyone lies at least once in their life. So if there are humans who might come close to making true AI, you should fear what they create, or mock them because they likely won't succeed anyway. Humans really aren't intelligent enough to create AI.

  247. Personally, I wish there was a law requiring firmware and drivers to be open source. Operating system, individual programs, sure, close them if you want, but firmware and drivers should be open source. Furthermore, I think there should be an open standard for how drivers should be written because we need x86 and ARM developers to have the same methodology. I, for one, would absolutely buy a piece of hardware that I could plug and play with my Raspberry Pi and desktop computer both, even if it was a $5,000 graphics card.

  250.  @gd44481  They already have the infrastructure setup to encode every video, and they do on a regular basis. How do you think a person can upload one file and every conceivable format and quality is available? Inserting ads would actually be a simple addition to the process and for a company that literally employs thousands of programmers it'd be done in 5 minutes.
    1
  251.  @michael_c2  I think you overestimate the amount of time it takes to actually do it. Once all the various formats are encoded, which can be done for the ads as well, inserting them at random points is an incredibly simple matter. Choosing which ads to insert based on the algorithm is equally as easy. They could literally insert them at random points on demand for each user. As in you press play, the ads are already there. Refresh the page, the ads are there again but at a new location and even a new ad.

  253. Just because something was rewritten in Rust doesn't mean it's good. It's been my experience with far too many rewrite apps that features go missing and it takes far more effort to get things to build from source, and for some reason binaries never work on my system by default which always necessitates building from source. And that's before I've even gotten to the bloat or the fact that the maintainers of the language are ideologically against people like you and me existing.

For a while it was slower than the competition, but now they're all the same speed. And Chromium based browsers have a weird bug for me where they don't want to scroll at a proper speed. I only use FireFox and Opera, and Opera only because I sometimes need to test things in a Chromium based browser and I have fond memories of it before they chunked their old engine in the trash.

The system we have is no longer pure capitalism anyway and has been eroded for the past 100 years into the socialist system we currently have. If we don't get rid of the greedy people running the corporations and go back to a capitalist system, this will just get worse. And in case you're wondering, capitalism requires competition to be healthy and thrive. Without it, you get fat slabs of beef in flying chairs who know nothing about anything and only spout propaganda, like the humans in Wall-E.

Be able to hot spot your phone without paying a fee to get your provider to unlock basic functionality that should be built-in, or by downloading a sketchy app that you can't trust even as far as you could throw your phone using your pinky. I'm sure someone will be along to offer coping solutions, but I don't want to cope, I just want freedom and Google sure as shit ain't providing it.

  303. While I'm not a Windows user, I do print things every single day. Mainly it's the puzzles from the newspaper that I print, but sometimes it's random articles or recipes. The recipes one is obvious as to why, but the random articles is because I don't want to read everything off of a screen and murder my eyes. If I had an e-ink tablet then I might read more articles that way, but those things seem to all be ungodly expensive. As for the CVE, I know no one will listen, especially as they haven't been listening for the past 25 years I've been saying it, but nearly all integer types in code should be unsigned. Then checking the magnitude of a number is a single comparison instead of two. Also, all input from an external source, and the internet as well as the users would be an external source, should be checked for correctness. Using Rust won't eliminate the need to check user input, nor will it eliminate all memory related bugs.

  336.  @armorgeddon  Measurements? If you mean resolution, sure, they vary, but when you use ytdl to check the availability and find that up to 1080p is available yet the browser is telling you 720p or less is the best you can get, I know it's YT trying to squash FireFox users.

  344. Taxation is theft. Don't get me wrong, some taxes really are necessary for the greater good, but 99% of what we pay in taxes is complete BS and totally wasted by the douchebags in congress. If we paid what was truly necessary to maintain our world and no more, we'd be paying so very much less than we are now. Consider all the roads that are taxes are supposed to maintain that are going to pot. Imagine if that money was actually used to maintain the roads instead of pad congresscritter pockets we'd have enough for gold roads.

  352. Personally, I think every game should be open source. It should be the game assets that you pay a licensing fee for and the license should be in perpetuity. Then you could port the game engine yourself or wait for someone else to do it and contribute those changes for free and play the game anywhere. AC measures should only apply for online games and they should design it so that it all happens on the server. Then it would never affect your gameplay experience.

  363. Personally, I feel like all API's should be free to access. There are ways that they could embed ads even if the API access was free, and as long as they were unobtrusive I would not only accept that but support them in that, but they not only use obtrusive ads, and pretty much every other website does too, but they want to charge money for the API. I only ever use any of these sites through a desktop computer with a web browser, so the API literally doesn't affect me, but I still think it should be free. Although, I do wonder what people use on Reddit that's NSFW. I thought it was for chatting with people in a forum like environment, but admittedly I've only ever looked at anything on the site a couple of times when it popped up as a result while searching for something that it turned out was completely unrelated to the anything on Reddit.

You could buy a pre-built NAS for less than an expensive gaming computer costs or build one yourself from an SBC using ready-made images and just plug and play with limited entering of information, and very low amounts of skill required to put the pieces together.

  368. Well, I'll give it a try letting ads exist and just always click the 5 second skip ad button, but after only a week or two it's really annoyed the shit out of me. If it gets any worse I'll turn the ad block back on and hope for the best because every time I tried it I got blocked from seeing video. People keep telling me to use ublock and it doesn't work any better and I've seen a couple of instances where it prevented me from accessing a legitimate website.

  369. To be clear, we've all known for years that they did this, it's just that the leak confirms it. That still gets us nowhere because the DoJ will do nothing since they're controlled by the left.

  377. Yes, and often bought all the computers that the school would have. In some instances it would be manufacturers who would use it as a tax write-off and were paid by Microsoft for exclusivity anyway.

  378. I don't think Linux will ever see wide scale adoption. Most people are either too lazy or too stupid to handle using it and would rather have all of their data stolen and lose all of their privacy than put in 5 minutes of work reading a man page to learn the correct way to use something. Because of Apple I see desktop PC's dying off entirely and the future for people who want something they can configure will either be doing something with SBC's, old hardware that can't be bought new, or my dream scenario: craft computers where you design and build your own board and possibly even your own chips. Who knows, we might have tiny boxes that could print chips in the future like a 3D printer, but without the 3.

  390.  @deadeyegam  I feel like that's the wrong question to ask since the story that unfolds in a game is generally the game director's vision for the story, even if they give you some leeway in getting there or even give you multiple endings, it'll still be their vision. So comparing them is kind of fruitless since one is meant to be interactive and the other is not. Instead, the question should be whether you like the way you interact with the story as it unfolds.
    1
  391.  @deadeyegam  Except that a game is optional. It's not a necessary thing for most people's jobs. Although, truthfully, even for the jobs where it is a necessary thing, it's not like a person trains for that job and can do nothing else. But for some games, there's also no story either. Most FPS's have barely there storylines and it's not as though a person can't be just as happy playing the same FPS over and over again. I still play the original Unreal and Unreal Tournament. And puzzle games nearly never have storylines. Personally, I'm going to keep pushing to make all games open source. Consider if every game were made the way Doom WAD's were. Single file download, password protected archive and there's the game, playable with your favorite version of the game engine.

  393. If things worked the way I feel like they should, then all shows available to stream would be available on all platforms, regardless of who produced it and the only difference between the various streamers would be in how much they charge and what features they provide as part of the service. Of course, that would still leave A-Holes like Prime and HBO and whoever else does this BS to release a single episode per week and make you keep a subscription going for months or wait until all episodes are available and have spoilers from A-Holes who like to spoil shows.

  400.  @arandomhumanbeing2464  So Android didn't actually make the features worse, they just didn't have the hardware to make them better than default. And Face ID is actually an anti-feature. It's short term security at the cost of privacy and in the long term if someone wants to steal your data or device they'll kidnap you with it and kill you after. With a passcode they'll just take the device. True security would be in not having anything sensitive on a mobile device, but then why bother with locking it.

  403. Weird about your networking, mine always shows up as eth0 and for wifi enabled computers I also see wlan0. A lot of what you do, other than the compiling and chroot, translates to a few other distros. I had to setup partitions and UEFI manually when I installed Slackware, and then I promptly disabled UEFI booting once it was working. It is odd that so many people pronounce abbreviations that should be spoken in whole, like chroot. Perfect opportunity to explain that it means "change root" and why you need to do that.

  417. I'm not sure if you were lucky or unlucky to grow up when you did, but when I was in school and we first got computers, they all ran DOS. It wasn't until I was in high school that they "updated" to Windows on all the computers, and it was WinNT 4.0 which I actually helped setup the whole network because of the class I was taking that year. It should've been instructive, but they were really just using us kids to do their work for them and we really only learned the sequence of operations to set it up with Windows. I only ever used WordPad as a means of generating .rtf files and I don't know if it could even open standard Word documents at that time. Of course, I was also on my very own transition to using Linux and my experiences with NT convinced me that Linux was the better option and everyone would be using it in the future. Well, we're getting there, as nearly every server uses it and nearly every cell phone uses either it or some flavor of UNIX in the form of iOS, but adoption is taking so very long.
