Submission + - Kevin Smith announced Clerks III (akamaihd.net)

Jacek Poplawski writes: Kevin Smith just wrote on Facebook:
"THE BEGINNING OF THE END
20 years ago today, we started shooting CLERKS.
20 years later, with no plan or provocation, I jumped out of bed at 4:20 this morning and started writing CLERKS III.
It's been like hanging out with old friends.
And after 2 hours of tapping the keys and giggling, I have come to a conclusion...
CLERKS III will be the best film I'll ever make."

Comment users don't care (Score 1) 535

Users don't care about Free Software at all.
In fact, users don't care about software at all as long at it works.

Few days ago I got idea, that one of the most popular app for android is just trojan/spyware. I did some research. I tried to find more info about creators, only to find out that I am probably right. Then I found thread with same idea (about same software), posted many months ago. I read user replies. They just posted things "if you don't like it don't use it" or "do you have windows? microsoft knows all about you". There wasn't a single explaination about the idea that this software is trojan/spyware. People just don't care. They got something for free, so they use it.

There is only a small group of people who really care, some of them are here, on Slashdot. But this is elite, insignificant group of users.

Comment opposite direction (Score 1) 328

After release of GNOME 3 I moved into opposite direction (I was using xfce for many years).

Anyway it's a good thing, because I dislike GNOME/KDE integration of single applications, for instance I use k3b which is only usable dvd burner and it comes from KDE. If xfce will be default then maybe some people realize applications should work everywhere not fit GNOME desktop.

Submission + - Polish websites to go dark to protest ACTA (yahoo.com)

Submission + - Shocking and depressing South Park episode (southparkstudios.com)

Jacek Poplawski writes: 28 pages (at the time of writing this story) of forum speculations — is this the end of South Park as we know it? Very sad ending of last episode, a true drama for each fan.... and a masterpiece. We have to wait until October now... Are we too old to watch cartoons anymore? Are we too old to enjoy this kind of humour? Are Trey and Matt too old to create more episodes?

Comment Bullshit (Score 1) 1348

This is bullshit. All you need on desktop today is a web browser. There are web browsers for Linux and they work. You can communicate, watch movies and listen music in your web browser, but you can also use separate applications for communication, music or movies. And everything works on Linux. And you can give configured Linux box to newbie and he or she will just use it.

Maybe you still don't get it, but people are not spending half of their lives playing 3D games. They just use web browser, some kind of communicator and various mutimedia viewers / document editors.

I understand that after 2000 lots of people changed their priorities, Slashdot almost died (Digg is dying now), many companies changed their profile, but in the background you can see that Open Source and Free Software is stronger than ever. Look at mobile phones, where is your Windows now? I also understand that Internet is full of Apple fanatics and (hidden in closet) Microsoft fanatics. But the truth is that Linux on desktop just works. No matter how loud you will cry your frustrations.
