Unprecedented aggression /s

2K lacrosse kit? Flying multiple times around the country to take part in a ball game? Spending days on end hounding overworked staff of an airline? Yup, must be rich.

At least for me just being given some tools isn't the same than opening up a thing that actually works and figuring out what it does. Someone already created that game, you can learn from what they did instead of starting from scratch and stumbling towards maybe being able to create something on your own. People who learn anything, usually learn with established works and take them apart. That's how it works.

> And it's critical that antitrust enforcement not allow a monopolist in one market to use their control of that market to impose control over unrelated markets. So please give us the monopoly over a meta-market.

Man with health food company touts healthy eating. CEO of company discourages sweeping culture change that would force him to pay more money to help employees without getting more profit for himself. Corrupt and broken country debates basic human decency on high tech communications network run by ad companies. More news at six.

When in WWII was the prime minister directly hit by a bomb? When was anyone who touched a kebab box subject to be hit by a bomb within the next few weeks? When was leaving the house for shopping more of a risk for getting bombed than actually staying at home? What is the command structure of this virus? Who would you sign the treaty of surrender to with this Virus? Where would you put this virus onto trial? Yes, it is the greatest crisis since the time that you adopted as your only reference point for struggle. It is NOTHING like WWII. This is spreading exponentially amongst the population unless contained. There is nothing anyone will (or can) say to put this back into your comfort zone, accept it, like we all have to. It's going to be tough. This isn't going away. It's going to change how you and I live and deal with the people we care about. Cynicism isn't going to help it. I know that is hard (I'm struggling myself, twat). I hope you find the

The headline is bad. GitHub is part of Microsoft. This is not GitHub doing a logical lateral expansion in the open source space. This is Microsoft digging it's claws deeper to attain more control over the open source community. Let's not fool ourselves here. This is bad for everybody but the people at Microsoft making money off it.

Two great new choices for the concerned traveller. Inquire now!

"We've realized that cars, trains and aeroplanes will be faster than us so our pursuit of improvement is in vain and we should all do something else". Hey fuckheads, why not actually remove technology from our lives for once and split this into distinct competitions. "Do you think you're smarter than a quantum computer"-League and "Hey the shit that you dedicated your life to still matters because, like, people ... exist"-League. I am getting so fucking annoyed by this tech cult.

Only after YouTube has turned into an unsueable behemoth of digital publishing. After Twitter and Facebook (and all it's derivatives) have laid their financial claim in the U.S. lobby landscape. NOW, they are contemplating the right to freely communicate without compensating them. Conventient. VERY convenient. Will this reduce any of the real world violence? No. Will this foster any progress and innovation with industries? No. Will this restrict and entangle foreign companies and opposing views? ... You think for yourself (it's a Yes sounded by vomit leaving the collective throats of the rest of the world). Will people be held liable for posting the millionth Disney movie recap? Not likely. Will people be detained/banished for posting war crimes and exposing leaders? Yes. (We have seen no other reaction) This is the end of the world (as we know it). Nobody has any means to stop it. The American people are voting for their own demise and we have to watch. The U.S. has always been an 800 lbs Gorilla with a gun and we are power-/optionless to stop it. Please stop! We can only appeal to you so much. But it won't matter because the people who vote for this to continue do not read what we are writing. Please Stop. Please. STOP.

Honest question from one of the 0.01%: How do you people parse news across the web? Does everybody only read aggregators? Do you visit all of your sources websites individually? How is that not driving people insane? I just don't understand.

If I have the keys to the entire apartment complex! No seriously, there was a light on in your bedroom. I HAD to come in and turn that off.

I hope they will fix this in 10.12.x too. I'd get my passwords tattooed on my forehead before I try using High Sierra again.

Being a kid with no money I was constantly pirating Windows versions for gaming and for keeping my computer hermit life going. At 15 I found this thing "SuSe Linux 6.0" in a bookstore that came with a huge manual and on several CDs. I paid a bunch of my pocket money for it, took it home and gave up immediately because whatever it was wouldn't recognize my sound card. I didn't have internet access back then, especially not on that machine with this "Linux" thing on it. Nobody I talked to knew what Linux was and I ran out of ideas on where to find help. That I wouldn't be able to use my computer the way I expected anyway wasn't clear to me until years later. I went back to my pirated Windows 98 or whatever it was and dove back into gaming/warez.

Several years later, 2006 to be exact. I again found myself struggling with some Windows XP activation issues, poor performance and a near constant effort of maintenance to keep the POS (last word is not "Sale") running. My gaming days where over, I'd gotten into more outdoorsy, drug-typie, other sex-experiences and decided that I'd give it another shot. So I got another hard drive (this time eager to at least keep a working OS around while I tinkered). I Installed Ubuntu 6.06 and dove into the rabbit hole. I had no clue at first and it took about two years until I somewhat knew what to do and how to fix stuff but boy was it worth it.

Now, almost ten years later my main machine still runs Ubuntu, I use Fedora and various other varieties at work. I Work for a company that develops Linux centric software. It's been a fun ride, I've been provided a Mac by my employer and run Win10 in a VM for various things but nothing compares to what Linux has given me - freedom. Nothing beats that feeling the first time I realized that it had been four years since I had switched to Linux at home and missed nothing.

This is not yet an alternative at least not for all users. I'm using Lubuntu and Chromium on a netbook and a very old PC and on both systems the playback with the HTML5 player is choppy and the sound recently stutters and lags. Up until about two weeks ago any version of Chrome and Chromium would simply crash all the video tab renderers on loading the YT HTML5 player. Also other sites like revision3.com won't even begin to display content in HTML5. There is some serious work to be done across platforms to make this a viable alternative. I've been begging for flash to die for years but if this is the near future I have to consider getting a windows install just to watch internet videos or (semi-legally) download even more video source files which is inconvenient.
