Forgive me for getting angry at the wilful ignorance of so many useful idiots. I'm just kinda done with being "nice". Over a decade of vetted, verifiable leaks exposing the unbridled evil of the US military-industrial…

>He would be sent to USA to respond of his alleged crimes in front of a public court of justice. Haha, no. He'd be sent to a secret FISA Star Chamber. There's no way he'd be tried in public. And if the Swedish…
>WikiLeak's big coup was cablegate Don't gaslight. Wikileaks' big coup was Collateral Murder, which showed to the entire world how US soldiers enjoy committing war crimes at the behest of senior US military leadership…
>What we don't want is for the rock to end up in a state where we can't live on it comfortably. This is what drives me crazy about climate change deniers and their continued delusional insistence that things are going…
I didn't know that Andrew Askins ran Google.
In fairness to Asimov's laws of robotics, he invented them as a device to illustrate how fundamentally flawed those sorts of rules can be. His robot stories are about how unforeseen situations create unexpected…
>I really wish uBlock Origin at least had the option to enable a blacklist model It effectively does have this capability. Just disable all the standard filter lists, and manually add one's own entries to the "my…
Exactly. Technology exists to solve problems. One of the greatest problems in today's world is the metaphorical tsunami of advertising sewage flooding our mental shorelines. Browser-based adblockers neatly solve that…
Spotted the true Canadian. (Or possibly Michigander.)
>There should be a word for "overly concerned and judgmental about what other people do in their private life" How about "vegan"?
>By this quiz rationale, your average vegetable wouldn't be vegan because it may rely on animal fertilizer... Heck, this could be extended to the use of oxygen to breathe. It's another byproduct of a plant process that…
>Vegans own smug and 'ethical checkmate' inanity I maintain that the Vegan Police from Scott Pilgrim are one of the finest satirical concepts I've ever seen in fiction.
KDE these days seems like configurability-overload. I appreciate the flexibility but it just feels excessive to me. I think a lot of the options should be tucked away into an equivalent of Firefox's about:config. For…
>Tumblr used to be, it might as well be dead now, it's going the way of MySpace (sold off a few times, passed around, until it's hardly valuable at all). That will turn around quick if Pornhub actually succeeds in…
>GPay I'm very happy to live in Canada, where Google Pay is completely irrelevant thanks to Interac. I can walk into any business with a payment terminal and know that my debit card will just plain work, no matter my…
I've always found it disturbing how Gargron rarely makes any attempt to disabuse people of the incorrect notion that Mastodon was the start of, and the canonical example of, open and federated social networks. If anyone…
It's also easier on the learning curve. I've just gotten back into coding as a hobby after a two-decade-long gap. In that time every few years I've tried to pick up C, and always ended up bewildered and frustrated by…
This is like the software equivalent of Red Letter Media's video library.
I did see and disable the telemetry option in the preferences the first time I used it, and so far it seems to behave itself and not quietly re-enable telemetry.
When I discovered VS Code a few months ago (I'm a hobbyist just getting into coding, not a professional) after many recommendations from friends who code and are die-hard open source true-believers, I did a legitimate…
I think it's funny because the entrenched establishment politicians like Steve Bannon are also the ones most opposed to Sanders and his allies.
>"I think ultimate success is regime change ... the goal is quite simply to break the back of this totalitarian mercantilist economic society." The really funny thing is that Bernie Sanders' supporters have the exact…
Mastodon and similar projects like Pleroma are old school wild-west open source distributed endeavours, not "notice me, Facebook-senpai!" SV startups. Anyone who thinks that the developers and users involved in those…
Sounds like it might be fun to load one's devices with infinite zips labelled with tempting filenames, like "red light district itinerary.zip". https://research.swtch.com/zip
