Comment Re: Fuck Nvidia (Score 1) 32

Nobody makes better hardware for this than Nvidia. Nobody makes better software architecture for it either. Their graphics drivers keep getting worse, but the percentage of their income which comes from graphics keeps falling so that makes sense. It is quite unfortunate for those of us depending on them, of course, but makes all the sense in the world right now.

Yes, keep doubling down on the ignorance. That will work...

That's exactly what you're doing when you claim insulting people is not free speech. Just in case you haven't read the thread you're "contributing" to, that is exactly what you are doing. If you don't understand why insults can be free speech, then you must be still be mad that people said mean things about Hitler.

How does this even make sense from a cost/benefit perspective?

Compliance fines and civil asset forfeiture. Charge the old people on a fixed income who cannot afford to repaint their house fines which they can't pay, which you roll into property taxes which they now cannot pay, which you use as pretext to steal their home.

To me, there's ethics and economics...this violates objective economic sense

No, you just don't understand it.

and probably the ethics standards of about 95% of the population.

The vast majority does not even look into candidates' positions on CAF. They literally do not care if anyone is stealing old people's homes.

It's almost ironic that this is reported the same week as journalists in the US getting visits from FBI agents for reporting about security concerns with the new Air Force One....

When you're arguing about whether the problem is worse in US or Germany, you're admitting there's a problem.

Formally, what's happening in Germany is enforcing existing laws against insults, libel and slander.

Formally, what's happening in Germany where you can't express your opinion that someone is bad is destruction of free speech.

I don't think any of these are legal in the US either.

They aren't, but just calling someone names is slander in Germany, where in the US it's an expression of opinion. Also, in the US fact is an absolute defense against slander and libel. It doesn't matter if your intent is to cause someone financial harm, for example; if you are doing it with facts then it's legal, because expressing facts is legal.

My problem is that you're presenting yourself as an expert on this subject when you don't even know about the 24 hour delay to enable sideloading which was widely reported and which we discussed here. You want us to believe your experience is relevant to a discussion of user experience when you're not even keeping abreast of the issues which matter to users. That's gaslighting.

Folks who wanna do that have been using gopros for years, theres maybe arguments to be made about a more exact POV vs slightly above or to the side for certain things, but theres still not a whole lot of reasons to use secret spy glasses instead of a superior but more obvious gopro besides secret spy reasons.

I recall having readable fonts (and I've got a large collection, I've been into them since forever as my mother was a graphic artist) on Linux long before Ubuntu. Anyhoo, google has /. well-indexed and it is a great way to find the posts of Slashdot history by searching e.g. "john" "dvorak" site:slashdot.org
