“[Stupid rich person shit]”

–Larry Ellison, soon to be major shareholder of Paramount


I use Njalla, which is part of Pirate Bay. Problem solved.


I have a better solution: Run these videos on the screens in the hallways 24/7 to outcringe the vapers.


A 20 character password of case insensitive letters and numbers is quite unbreakable (taking billions of years to brute force). Still, what a strange way to announce your database is old and you probably aren’t hashing your password with anything stronger than MD5. Or worse.


Gnome 3 was a regression of what I still believe is a perfect UX metaphor for computing. Gnome 2 was perfect in every way. I’ve since gone to Xfce, but it feels like Gnome 3 and beyond is trying to make using Unix fool-proof for a touchscreen paradigm, and you really can’t.

You should give people the keys without difficulty, but give them everything they need to not need them. And you’re never going to run Gnome on a tablet. There’s no point in making everything pronounced, you’ll have an input device that’s not a finger on a screen. Emulating something else like Windows or macOS doesn’t make you seem unique, it makes you seem similar and if the paradigms aren’t the same, its confusing. Have some audacity to be different.

It’s important to remember Gnome exists because KDE was in a license fiasco of its own making. And we’re in a new fiasco with GTK over mismanagement.






It’s a shame that the ACLU has to defend horrible people.





Literally anything else? ACH transfers is a reliable mechanism to send money. It’s not as user friendly, though.


I’ve told companies that use PayPal to register as a business, not as an individual. If you’re an individual and a lot of money comes through, they will lock you down for “regulatory reasons.” Which is hilarious because they are technically not a bank (But I think they are a NA). You’ll never see that money again.


Unable to find other sources of income, PayPal is now squeezing the margins for money. The detachment of the stock market from reality marches on.


It ain’t called Cerbal Space Program.


Blaming the Americans is a signature “Russia has fucked with this company” trademark.



No sweaty, angry, sexist, racist, sub-human filth League gamers on Linux? What a shame. How will Linux users ever recover knowing the trash will never leave the dumpster? I for one am completely devastated.

I feel like this information is going to get sold to GOT–sorry, ‘voter suppression’ efforts and general databrokers.


I agree to never give Nintendo my money again, I hope they also shut down someday.


There’s two I believe, HDCP which has been around since the DVI days and only now people bothered to implement, and another form of XOR-based on the actual cable itself done with a secret key, again, its DeCSS all over again but the HDMI Forum has never promoted the secret key.


The big reason for HDMI’s non-freeness is the use of on-protocol encryption. They learned from DeCSS, and the forum can’t let it happen again.

I’m sure similar requirements stop DisplayPort and DVI from going open source.


It took them how many years to monetize their user base? This company is run by complete idiots.




I worked on a CCPA project in a non CCPA state for a big media company. Company’s lawyers just wanted to make it so if anyone applied we complied, its cheaper in terms of labor to build it out and comply.


The man who is CEO is a shitter who gave us the blessing/curse that is JavaScript

They’re relying on a cryptocurrency for growth

They use Chromium/Blink
