How about we publically fund the production of textbooks, amd while we're at it, higger education, for the betterment of all.

Textbooks are a huge gouge. We need a system to put them into the public domain fast enough that they can be useful to people that can't afford them, or legislation to keep them affordable. ACAB

anything to avoid materially improving conditions for the middle class, saving the ecosystem, or taxing billionaires. Imaginary solutions to imaginary problems is the best the US govt has for us now.

yeah I'm sure every nation-state employed hacker is hard at work producing fresh zero days for *checks notes* modern libs being backported to classic macos by a handful of devs for an even smaller handful of users. Just a reeeeaaaal juicy target there.

Let's get you home to Frinky!

Gee, a f***ing stupid thread exists on a chan site? Stop the presses! Film at f***ing 11! ðY(TM)

In a June 15 tweet, President Trump said testing âoemakes us look bad.â At his campaign rally in Tulsa five days later, he said he had asked his âoepeopleâ to âoeslow the testing down, please.â At a White House press conference on July 13th, he told reporters, âoeWhen you test, you create cases.â

"knowing the process (beyond a few silverbacks kept on just in case the world really does end) isn't good for business." Knowing the process isn't good for business.... Sounds like the thoughts of someone who's literally never worked in Enterprise IT.

"workers in 44% of the companies use BitTorrent for data transfer, which dramatically can increase the risk of malware infection" Uhhh, sure maybe downloading pirated software would do that. The bittorrent protocol itself doesn't have inherent malware risks.

Lol

So there's a group of people in the gaming community who are just sub-human trash who don't give 1 shit about other people. Right, not exactly shocking given that community's history. But what's really fucking stupid is that cops are fucking dumb enough to go in and actually murder people when what has been described to them (hostages, etc) is clearly not happening. And people freaked out when Gillette politely asked men to be slightly better people.

The world isn't run by weapons anymore, or energy, or money, it's run by little ones and zeroes, little bits of data. It's all just electrons. There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!

If you code, and your manager doesn't code, or if you admin and your manager's area of expertise is 'management' and not 'system administration' stop wasting time and just get out. It's not going to end well.

Honestly, who wants to go to a theatre? Dirty floors, uncomfortable seats, jerkass patrons, outrageous prices for food and tickets... My living room is 10x better than any theatre in town. The MPAA is as doomed as a dodo if they're spending their time making rules about electronics in theaters. Soon, movie releases will mean internet releases, and no DRM has yet been invented that wasn't eventually cracked, so they're going to have to figure out how to make money selling things other than content, and we all know how well they've been doing at that so far. Keep doing useless things MPAA, you're dooming yourselves and I'll be happy to see you go.
