Comment Re:Trump admin are nazis (Score 2) 150

Not as comical as the progression from "we support oppressed peoples everywhere" to "we think the oppressors should have nuclear weapons"

You failed to observe the "Obama made a nuclear deal with Iran which Trump tore up and then tried to negotiate back again" phase of the argument. Whoops!

Say what you want about Musk, SpaceX is certainly delivering the goods when it comes to space flight.

If we could just put Musk aside completely for a moment (sigh. pause. sigh.) and look solely at SpaceX's accomplishments without having to think about them in light of Elon's assertions about the timeline of their future performance then I think many people could appreciate it a bit more. Which then raises the question, what exactly is his influence on SpaceX now besides making it buy a bunch of Teslas? We've heard conflicting reports of his impact which vary from wind beneath their wings to worthless gimboid bozo who has to be tricked into thinking he's driving.

Comment Re:Automattic and WP Engine now have the same prob (Score 1) 29

Anyone could fork Wordpress and a whole suite of useful addons any time if they felt qualified. But then what they would have is the responsibility to not only maintain a fork of fucking garbage Wordpress, and also a bunch of other software, but also continue to make it viable without wordpress.com. And what's your prize? A lot of people expecting to migrate from Wordpress and wanting to pay you nothing.

People who want to customize an OSS CMS are using Drupal. Most people using Wordpress don't want to learn anything. I don't blame them, when I chose Drupal over Wordpress (and some other options) I wasn't really trying to learn php, and I'm happy to report that I really never did. I have occasionally learned just enough to contribute some minor patches — code that is long gone because Drupal is now Symfony-based and the way you do basically everything has changed since I knew how to do anything meaningful, back in version 7 or so. (I started with 4 but quickly dropped that and went to prerelease 5 as it was the future at the time.)

TL;DR: Without that corporation you don't really have Wordpress anyway, and for those people there's Drupal which is technically superior FWIW

Kimmel would have to obey the equal time rule

The FCC gives exceptions to that on a case-by-case basis. They seem to have announced they wouldn't do it here, which favors the currently dominant party, which is why the FCC shouldn't be in charge of these decisions. The rule also hasn't been to the supremes. Kimmel won't want that to happen now for obvious reasons.

Comment Re:81 remote code execution? WTF? (Score 1) 62

What existing stuff is not fucked up? We need a software architecture that puts security first, whether that's microkernel-based or whatever else. And we need to rethink the way we handle speculative execution as well. We need substantive changes, not further rearrangement of deck chairs and a declaration of victory.
