The new design is def lopsided looking, not a big fan of that. But I like the new menu look better, it's cleaner without the icons, the icons aren't on every menu item now anyway. I can't even tell if the title bar is taller.

Anyone who worships the ground Musk works on kinda has it coming. He's one of the worst people on the planet, yet there's a Steve Jobs style cult of personality around him. If douchebro is your religion you can get scammed, nobody cares. You just thought you'd be doing the scamming, not the other way around.

another failed Libertarian dirtbag microstate. Galt's Gulch but more costly and alot of people would die. by "petty morality" Musk means pesky anti-slavery laws. dude has never sweated a day in his life

Powells just dicked over nearly their entire workforce with no notice after lying to them. I know a couple people with 20 years tenure there who got dropped. I don't think I have a dog in a fight between Amazon and Powells unless Powells ends up under pro-worker management, or better yet a worker's co-op. It always should have been a co-op.

Powell's dicked over all their workers with no notice after lying to them. They're hardly the ethical alternative to Amazon, they're just smaller.

Yep, I 100% support any effort to open-source COVID research to the world. We should publicly fund research and open source it all to the world. Putting profit above hundreds of millions of lives is what should be a crime. Capitalism in 500 years has done more to kill the species and the planet than our quarter millions years existence as an aggressively social species before that. People worried about private profit here can eat an entire unseasoned ass

This really says alot about how bankrupt American humanity is. COVID-19 is a global pandemic, and hell with the profit of big pharma firms trying to profit from it. Publicly fund research, open source it to the world. I 100% support anybody liberating data about COVID. Viruses don't care about imaginary lines on maps. Humanity didn't survive a quarter million years by doing bullshit like this.

15 minutes is thousands of miles at orbital re-entry speed. LOL. I don't stan any nation state but that's some silly fearmongering and it says something about ./ that this isn't getting highlighted more.

The OP is one of the crappiest /. i have seen. IT support -- keyboard guy -- is tip of the iceberg. Infrastructure Engineers maintain the entire internet and private networks, and all the enterprise tech connected. This dumbass wouldn't be able to do anything or see anything with their phone or laptop without infrastructure, and that's not going away. I am an infrastructure engineer working mostly from home. Yesterday I fixed some large enterprise storage from my recliner.

yeah I don't think this guy believed in flat earth tinfoil. He magically appeared in those circles shortly after he needed funding for the rocket experiments he'd already been doing.

People care, because who wants ads on everything? I mean maybe Apple users are that brainwashed but I doubt it. But as an Android user, now I just have Youtube constantly try to shove a half dozen subscription options down my throat plus a couple ads everytime I watch a video. Same difference really.

Agreed, but I'd take you more seriously if you understood that words have definitions. "Fascism" is a political ideology, not anybody who kicks somebody's ass over politics.

I'm gonna guess they don't like drones as potential sites of resistance: recording what the police state does, busting corporations for massive environmental and human rights violations, or maybe even flying IEDs. As if anyone doing those things wouldn't simply remove or disable the transponder post-purchase. It's at least more security theater. A rising police state needs "citizens" to know they're never anonymous, never have privacy, and should always fear the state.

Doing things with escalated privileges? Are you suggesting a Windows 98 model or more of a .... kiosk model where NOBODY can do anything. How are you supposed to admin anything. If you login as root you're much more likely to bork things

I mean, if you work at a coffee shop you can expect some customers to BE distracted. They haven't had their coffee yet or they wouldn't be there, they might have phone calls and emails flying at them, and they're just trying to make it through their day too. Everyone should treat baristas and literally any other person they're dealing with with respect, but like c'mon we're not BFFs, we're just tryna get coffee and handle our shit. This sounds boomer-y af to technology shame. Jesus.
