I kept thinking maybe slashdot.org could make a big return !
It's a different platform with a different audience. I really don't think that idea has any hope. Unfortunately.

I've been journaling, but stopped reading the main page long before that.
Journal Journal: Line: Ah, to be 50 again.
Working on a report for someone in her late 70s over the phone, i lamented on being 50 when i took off my glasses and got close to the laptop to read the small letters on the screen. Her response: Ah, to be 50 again.
It made me smile. It's refreshing to hear things put in perspective.
Journal Journal: Chronicle: 50
Just like last year, my birthday again shifted me up one year. And like Marxist Hacker 42 said, 50 is really depressing. I could go on, but i won't.

People were freaking out about FPGAs, microcontrollers, etc. that were in some of these drones. Fact is most (all?) of it was older & EOL things that you can find on Ali Express and other sites for peanuts.

Comment The desktop itself is dead (Score 1, Insightful) 108
There will never be a "year of the desktop", because the desktop is dead. The reality is that such a large percentage of the population use mobile devices for the majority of their interactions that whatever happens on the desktop is irrelevant. I find it bizarre because the mobile experience is so abysmal compared to a proper desktop. But I've never understood the mainstream, and I guess this is just another example of that.
