Cue the predictable tired old rants of slashbots who haven't figured out that it isn't 1997 anymore. They don't get much more penguin-headed than me, and I'm typing this message on a computer running Windows. Guess what, people: WE WON. Linux runs the whole world except for the conventional desktop. Look at it this way: if Microsoft hasn't taken over the rest of the world by now, it's not going to. At the same time, if Linux hasn't captured the conventional desktop by now, it's not going to. In other words, it's safe to use a Windows desktop now if it's less friction for you. You don't have to be ashamed, you don't have to be afraid that you're contributing to the downfall of computing. Linux owns 100% of supercomputing, the lion's share of the cloud and mobile, it runs the Internet, it's the embedded OS of choice, and it dominates the IoT. Don't worry about the desktop -- it simply isn't important anymore.

That having been said, I'm not sure why one would want to run Windows on a Raspberry Pi, since as others have pointed out, it fails to provide the #1 benefit of running Windows: the vast library of x86 Windows software.

What about the severe child porn problem that is apparently plaguing WhatsApp (https://techcrunch.com/2018/12/20/whatsapp-pornography/)? All this move to make communications end-to-end encrypted across all three platforms will do is extend the amount of people that can be reached, and can reach, those resources nearly anonymously -- making it more difficult to investigate the situation.

Anyone watching the likes of PewDiePie is a drooling zombie who probably also wastes a lot of time on Facebook. The rest of us are enriching ourselves with how-to videos, learning new skills, scouring the site for videos where we can discover fascinating things about our favorite subjects.

My only regret is that YouTube is way too much power concentrated in one space.

The view is that culture peaked when you hit your 20's no matter what your age is, everything else past that is either repetitive or just lazy and shotty.

F that. Culture peaked in the 1950's, and I was born in 1971.

If you REALLY want to see the Internet economy collapse ... just wait until YouTube decides to open up an option to deliver porn. Then the entire Internet economy will become non-viable and things will collapse fast.

We have that already. It's called a railroad.

Throughout the entire second half of the 20th Century, we were promised "picture phones" -- you'd be able to SEE the person you were talking to! Self-driving cars are going to be the same way. It's going to take 50 years for it to truly arrive in a usable fashion, and when it does, it's not going to look anything like they predicted.

Buzzfeed? Seriously? Is this the same Buzzfeed that had such extreme confidence in predicting the results of the 2016 election -- with 0% accuracy?

Accusations of xenophobia is where leftists go when they're out of intellectual ammo.

I'm going to spend some karma points and just come out and say it: Fuck SJW's. I hope Corey Ehmke gets hit by a bus, and lives, and then gets slow stomach cancer and spends the next few years in excruciating pain before finally rotting in hell.

Butthurt much, NPC?

Seriously ... what if I don't *want* to have a long life? There are a lot of old people out there who are bored, lonely, and too healthy to have any hope of dying anytime soon. That's a worse fate than having a decent life and then dying before it starts to suck. I'm 47 now, and everything is fantastic -- family, career, home, etc. Ideally, I would like to die at 52, but I'd like to have unlimited 5-year extensions available. I don't want to find myself sitting around at 80 with nothing to do and wishing I was dead. I'd rather *be* dead.

You keep on parroting that party line, commie. Obama's failed economy was the direct result of his over-regulation, and Trump's strong economy is the direct result of his deregulation. But go ahead and focus on "muh feelz" if it makes you feel better.

Combine the grocery delivery with their self-driving cars. When the delivery arrives, I disable the computer and steal the car. Now I get a free car for the price of a few food items! It's foolproof!
