He's only just another one of these tech oligarchs. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, to name a few. They're all the same personality type and all shamelessly and carelessly fucking humanity for their own personal agenda. The world's fucked.

Here's an example of the hassler personality type.

Your testes are so small man.

Fuck you Bezos, you won't take ownership of my equipment. You won't take my computing freedom from me. I will own my own computer and it will do what I tell it, not what you tell it.

They're removing something that was in windows media player since the late 90s, that was useful and that people did use, meanwhile they decided it was a good idea to rewrite the start menu in javascript as a chromium app and it takes a shit load of power just to open the start menu, or just to open the "run program" dialog, etc. The 'new and improved' run dialog probably uses 10x the resources and memory that this old CD data feature used. I've seen video clips of that new dialogue taking several frames to display and draw itself properly, we are going back in time to the "windows 3.1 on a 386" experience, except with rounded corners. But yeah nevermind all that, let's criticise the users of slashdot for possibly the one single issue that they're on the right side of.

"I hate so much that it was written in a programming language I don't like."

In the future, everything will be written in Rust, you can't escape it.

The right don't care about it either, instead they care about messing up the economy with random tariffs, starting war with venezuela, grabbing women by the pussy, raping kids on a private island, profiting off of pump n dump crypto scam coins, and telling pregnant women that paracetamol causes autism.
All that's going on and you don't bat an eye and instead blame everything on the left and obsess 24/7 over the fact transpeople exist and that some of them seek medical care

> Imagine if the left had spent the last ten years pushing for reining in the financial markets instead of castrating kids.

Imagine if the right didn't put an incompetent authoritarian narcissist pedo in the whitehouse.

Your aura of bitter butthurt makes me suspect you're a gnome developer or user.
System76 wouldn't have started this project if the gnome people weren't acting like the linux desktop is their exclusive toy that only they are allowed to play with.

> Microsoft has been rendering fully functional hardware unusable since the humble beginnings of the wintel pact. Although that's true to an extent, this time there are significant differences - in the past, your old computer was rendered unusable by just not having enough memory, processing power, or storage space for the next version of Windows.
Now, 10 year old and even 15 year old computers have enough power to do pretty much anything a normal everyday user would need to do. Microsoft is just arbitrarily declaring that you're not allowed to use your literally perfectly good computer anymore, and their reasons for doing that are clearly coercive and abusive.

Nobody's putting the genie back in the bottle. Clickbait bullshit will continue regardless of whether someone on Slashdot posts the relevant snippet in a comment. At least it saves us clicking on the article and loading up another JS and advert infested site, that's worth something.

They had a much cuter fox character already somewhere else in firefox that shows up when you set up a new install. Kit is just more uninspired generic 'flat' corporate art.

What operating systems are you using on your NAS and your laptop?

What they mean by "try anything" is "sue everyone, resell rehashed old games endlessly forever under subscription model and screw the customer over continually forever"

"Cancer rates among people aged 15 to 49 have increased 10% since 2000 even as rates have fallen among older populations."
