Comment Re:Socialism is expensive (Score 1) 86

Socialism is when you force people to participate.

That would make feudalism and slavery the epitome of socialism, and it would also make the US privatized healthcare socialism since it's not really a free choice if the other option is to get sick and die. You basically have no idea what the term "socialism" means and have just made up your own meaning. It says it all about the "top" minds in this site that you're scoring at +4.

Comment Re:I like this one better (Score 1) 47

You're actually unhinged, scraping the bottom of the barrel to attack a recently deceased person, under an unrelated story, and presumably because Kobe spoke out against Trump. The cherry on top is that it isn't even the alleged victim. It's almost fun to imagine what your "media diet" must look like for something like this to have come up.

Comment Re:Ban my enemies, push my message! (Score 1) 154

The narrative about Trump being smeared about his "file people" remarks rests on completely omitting the context. There's a reason why Trump caught flack even from his own side at the time. A counter-protester was killed in Charlottesville and Trump responded by equivocating between the white supremacists and counter-protesters and explicitly refused to condemn white supremacy. It took days of outrage for Trump to try to damage control and make a prepared speech where he condemned white supremacy, which is what Trump apologists focus on, but at the question and answer session right after, Trump backtracked and talked about "fine people on both sides". The supposedly "fine people" who attended an event explicitly organized by and for white supremacists.

Comment Re:Anglin foresaw this. (Score 1) 14

Anglin fucking is a neo-Nazi and The Daily Stormer is a fucking neo-Nazi site. Brainwashed fucks like you also have zero idea what the Frankfurt School is. Hint: it's not a conspiracy, just a school of thought critiquing consumer society and mass media. The thinkers associated with it likely wouldn't even approve of pop music, much less fucking "catgirl waifus".

Upvoting fuckwitted posts like yours is low even for Slashdot.

Submission + - Company Takes Over Well-Known OSS Developer's Name Because the Domain was Free

Fatalis writes: Substack is a venture capital funded startup for subscription-based newsletters, and it admittedly chose its name following the advice from a Paul Graham (co-founder of Y Combinator) article to prefer names not registered in the .com zone. The same name has also been the user handle for a prolific open-source developer who now finds themselves competing for recognition in the tech space with a capital backed company. The lesson seems to be for developers to protect their personal brand by registering a domain name with the .com extension due to it being perceived as the default.

Comment Re:File extensions? (Score 1) 564

pop up a thing saying 'You are trying to run a program downloaded from the Internet, do you really want to?', which isn't normally something that happens when people try to open a file so ought to trigger them to avoid it (if it doesn't, then seeing the .exe extension probably won't either).

In most situations that downloaded file confirmation dialog is just a nagging thing you need to click through, so its usefulness in preventing users from executing disguised .exe files is limited, especially because you need to understand the significance of the dialog in the first place, which most users probably don't. The users might as well just think that it's a glitch that the image viewer is suddenly displaying a confirmation dialog. Showing the file extension would help about as much as having this confirmation dialog, if not more, but the real solution would be not making the files executable by default in the first place. You should have to right click and click 'Run' or something along those lines to run downloaded executable files.

Comment Re:belief in science (Score 1) 347

Radiometric dating is a tool of the devil, clearly. How can anyone believe the absurd idea that decay rates of radioactive elements could be used to date materials. All these so-called scientists are either brainwashed or satanist atheists. We need more clear-headed people like you to explain that the real truth is found in the creation science literature, not in the manufactured lies of geochemistry or just about any other accepted scientific discipline. They'll see when the Rapture comes, though...
