Well no, it's not just entertainment. News is in the deal also, specifically CBS and CNN.

Well if they even just brought CBS and CNN more towards center and away from left...that might even things up more....the left will still have NBC, ABC, MSNOW (or whatever they go by now) and most of the major news papers and other new sources.

A bit more balance would be nice.

I've seen enough videos of yahoos expressing their "rationale" for voting for Trump, that I wonder if AI and chatbot recommendations might be an improvement.

It was simple....better choice than cackling Kamala....

More evidence has been presented publicly that Trump fucked kids than was necessary to convict Cosby or Weinstein. There are more accusers, too.

Citations please?

Surely there are valid new stories about such by major networks, major news sources?

Interesting....I've never had a separate app like the mentioned yubikey or bitwarden....new to me too.

I rarely use or have to use the 2FA which is just generally a text message with a code....

When you are telling your customers "you agreed you wouldn't do that" the writing is on the wall, you are going away. Too bad it's going to take decades.

I'm trying to get people on to the bus. Running next to it for a block or two shouting about how complaining to you does nothing does nothing.

Crony capitalism is what you think is called corporatism.

Five eyes is specifically a spying program where allies spy on your citizens and then give you the data in order to get around citizen surveillance restrictions. You're going to have to know that in order to understand the argument.

Having decades of experience with "these things" is why I have strong opinions. I express them without guile because I'm not trying to trick anyone into anything.

If you want a crotch whacker 5000 you can just search for it, but if you want to look at all products of a certain class with certain characteristics, forget it. And many if not most people shop that way, because they do not have unlimited money and they are choosing from a pool of options in their budget.

There's no end to the scale up phase. They will always be training. They will always need more hardware in order to outcompete their rivals. So you've confirmed that they will never be profitable. Thanks.

All true, but it's all doomed anyway. AI is going to do it in from both ends. Up front it's going to take the jobs, and in the back it's going to take away the jobs and therefore the disposable income from the people who would see the films. This is just hurrying things up a little bit. California Uber Alles! We're just as greedy here as people are anywhere else.

I used to be a window manager slut so I didn't get used to continuity of desktops until KDE got good. I still have to use Windows at work, but at home my laptop and desktop and minipc all run Devuan with KDE. It doesn't change much visually version to version any more.

This probably comes from the broad variety of different computers I used, but even on some of those there were other visual tweaks. On classic mac there was Copland. On Amiga there was Newlook. I tried them all habitually.

I use the NeXTStep-style launcher in KDE, which is ironically objectively superior to Apple's dock, and is actually what they had before they fucked it up to make eye candy for idiots

If you use complex applications you already have most of a DE installed on your system. If you don't use a file manager but do use a session manager then you've still got most of a DE running in your session. All you're accomplishing is using a less featured launcher, which is fine but really not a big difference.

You can run Cinnamon if you miss GNOME 2, but when I tried it, it just felt old :)
