>If Democrats had a monopoly on Free Speech, then Donald Trump would never have become President.

Absolute horseshit. They were the loudest mouthpieces, promoting the controlled opposition they didn't think anyone would actually vote for.

And yet this is the comment rated 3:Insightful, when it should be inciteful, and mine with a source is rated:0 troll.

Slashdot has the same obvious bias as the rest of big tech, it's no surprise.

Definition of a useful idiot: Someone who assumes criticism of one side means you belong to the other.

Astrology is six times more sophisticated than your worldview.

We just watched the government shill for Pfizer and Moderna and were told to "trust the science" and now we know that they were lying from the start and the Pfizer "vaccine" was never tested on preventing transmission: https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2022...

Then why do women end up dominating things like nursing and early childhood education?

They're clearly capable of dominating a field if they're interested in it. Therefore the lack of domination in tech indicates that they don't want to be there.

I've been hearing "We need more women in tech!" since I was 12 and I'm tired of it. Nobody has ever even explained why we need more women in tech/STEM.

In sane fields like say electronics, programming, or even medicine when you test something and it fails, you figure out what when wrong, attempt to fix it, and test or examine the patient again.

In academia, when you test someone and they fail, you...mark them as failed and move on.

It's so bizarre. Once you see it, you can't unsee the insanity of it.

So? Nobody had ever used paper (technically cotton) for a currency until they did and that also didn't matter.

People accept it for goods and services, and spend it on goods and services. That makes it a currency. Everything else is irrelevant.

Submission + - SPAM: Reviving an iconic Amiga mouse

AmigaNews_net writes: Just a few days ago a campaign was launched on Kickstarter, for a remake of a classic Amiga mouse. Anyone who ever had contact with Amiga surely knows that distinctive mouse shape.
The new release of the so-called "Tank Mouse" is a wireless device with a touch scroll, which however still works with Amiga computers, but can be used for modern PC's or Mac's as well.

The campaign quickly gathered a huge backing support: [spam URL stripped]...

Submission + - Ukraine Official Asks and Gets Starlink Stations from Elon Musk (newsweek.com)

SubMitt writes: In an attempt to provide the country access to satellite internet, Ukraine's Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov on Saturday asked Tesla's CEO Elon Musk on Twitter to provide Starlink stations, which are internet-beaming satellites launched by SpaceX, as the country continues to face an invasion by Russian forces.
A few hours later on Saturday, Musk said that Ukraine now has active Starlink service: "Starlink service is now active in Ukraine. More terminals en route," he tweeted without revealing any further details.

The sole criterion for a currency is that people accept it in trade.

I can buy BTC at my local liquor store. One of Portland's most famous strip clubs accepts BTC. I've used it to buy drugs online.

It's a currency because people accept it for goods and services. Treating it like an investment is the foolish part.
