Comment Re:Secure our vote. Defend our country! (Score 1) 456

Don't count on Donald Trump securing our voting machines any time soon. Trump is on Russia's payroll and only acts in their interest.

This statement is incredibly dumb. Trump is independently wealthy already, what exactly makes you think he needs to be on anyone's payroll? One of the points in favor of Trump was that he didn't need to suck on anyone's teat for a payday. Yet, far left supporters seem to think it's the only reason he's there even though that argument makes no sense whatsoever. It's just grasping at straws.

There's still no evidence the Russians were even involved. This is what really irritates me - not that it may or may not have been Russians, but that with zero conclusive evidence you've already made up your mind that you know who the bad guy is. What this says to me is that you're a proponent of the far left, which is just as bad if not worse than the far right. You have your head so far up your own ass that you're trying to use hyperbole as facts.

Did the Russians hack, or at the very least attempt to hack the election? It's possible, but we don't really know. Even if we had something conclusive in that direction we don't know what the motive was, or if it was government sponsored or just some guys doing it for the lulz. We have some IPs and a time of day but any junior network technician can tell you that isn't really actionable evidence because it's possible to proxy yourself around the world in order to hide your true origin. The only thing we've got right now is a potential lead. If you're truly interested in facts then you have to stop letting emotion dictate your conclusion and start allowing the collected intelligence tell you the story. Right now, the story barely fits in a paragraph.

Twitter used to be about the free exchange of ideas and thoughts. Now it's an SJW infested viper pit where the slightest deviation from SJW opinion is banned. Twitter forgot their original mission and is suffering as a result. If they can't figure out what their users actually want they don't deserve to survive.

This is exactly why I hate the word "bloat". It means something different to every person who uses it. To many oldschool unix gurus any kind of GUI is bloat. To most people here, "bloat" just means "something I don't like and would remove". Rarely does it ever mean "unnecessary software that makes things slower". "Bloat" is little more than a geek buzzword to me now as a result.

Only really a problem if you continue to drink Apple's koolaid. Many of us figured out long ago that Macs simply do not fit very well if you want a cost effective, practical solution for a variety of tasks. The proponents of Apple want you to believe that the company can't do any wrong. The people who think objectively about the company and its products know they can, and have.
