....but "Windows"? Ick...no thanks.

HEIC is worthless because it's illegal to implement unless you get permission. Maybe in 20 years it'll be usable.

Don't like that fact? Then we need to find and support (oh no, and be?) political candidates who oppose software patents.

You shouldn't need anyone's permission to write a computer program. It's infuriating.

We are pretty well down that path, but not QUITE there yet. Analytical thinking is definitely demonized by the stupid people who feel that religion should be more important than having actual skills that are useful.

The signal to noise ratio of what you find online has been going down since the late 1990s, so what is "relevant" having shifted to web sites that are full of complete garbage really doesn't matter as much. The most popular...yea, Webcrawler used to be relevant too.

Those who talk the way you do are generally clueless about what Communism really is, and on top of that, are Trump supporters. Remember, Trump has been pushing for government ownership and control of corporations, including government taking 10% of Intel. So, you complain about "Commies", and then go cheering when Trump has his own private army running around the country intimidating people and literally killing citizens while Trump also loves Russia, China, and North Korean leaders. Trump seems more like a commie than anything else.

You also don't want to see security updates? It's simply not safe to use an old browser.

Something true about Hamas like it was founded in response to the Ibrahimi mosque massacre, or that Netanyahu has bragged repeatedly to the international news media about making sure they get funded as part of his strategy on Gaza?

Private equity firms are capitalism in pure form, as they are capital controlling the means of production, which is capitalism's definition.

Private equity forms are a negative for humanity, but so is uncontrolled capitalism, so that checks out.

You just argued that you shouldn't have to take harm into account.

It would be cool if you had any internally consistent beliefs whatsoever.

It's not weird, though. They either hope to profit from these corporations' activities, or they're just prosperity theologists. Neither thing is rare.

That's how literally everything works, not just speech.

When you have rights without responsibilities, nothing works.

"OpenAI says an unreleased internal model has produced 372 results that either resolve or make substantial progress on open problems"

Look at how much we're accomplishing!

"which was produced through the collective efforts of a 10,000-strong agentic swarm that cost millions of dollars in computing power"

Look at how impressive our hardware is!

The rapeublicans are literally running the Nazi playbook, which is ironic because that was inspired by the USA's laws about slavery. Now which is the party of slavery again? I think I'll go with the party that controls the state where we still have slaves picking cotton.

Slashdot was relevant.

Weird they want to remind us of that.

He's literally insane. His earliest posts weren't like this.
