jmcs,

There were musicians far before passive income for creative work was a thing. And it’s not like the €0.003 per play Spotify pays is making bank for most musicians.

jmcs,

If we forbid things just because they are mildly toxic, we would need to forbid almost everything. Including oxygen and water.

jmcs,

But nothing beats Discovery’s mushroom drive (incidentally that’s also what the writers had before writing it).

jmcs,

What you are saying is that in domestic violence cases we should ask if there’s an ever-so-slight possibility that the soup was a bit cold. It doesn’t fucking matter, Ukraine is a sovereign country and has done nothing against Russia’s sovereignty and that’s the end of it - unless you want to entertain Hitler’s excuses to invade Poland over their alleged policy towards Danzig/Gdansk too

jmcs,

That’s also how the most damaging attacks on proprietary software work. At some point all organizations need to trust their members and co-workers need to trust each other - I can’t think of a way to be more miserable at work than having to second guess everyone around you.

jmcs,

Just the hide tabbar button would be amazing when combined with the existing vertical tab extensions. I know you can use custom css to hide the tab bar (that’s what I do), but the option would make it accessible to regular users too.

jmcs,

Not it’s not. The problem is that Oregon only did half of the work and never invested in public health solutions to handle drug addiction (as the article points out). This is not about being progressive or conservative, it’s about half-assing policies.

If someone tried to build a house without a roof the problem is not that houses are too progressive but that the guy building the house is an idiot.

jmcs,

The European Commission is not amused with Apple’s attempt at malicious compliance and already opened the non-compliance process, so if the ECJ doesn’t fuck up Apple will either comply or get out of Europe.

jmcs,

Passive voice found to be not enough to justify “criminal” behavior by the nice police officers.

Either that, or the police officers were so bad at distinguishing the gun’s front from its back that what they did can’t really qualify as shooting at anything in particular.

jmcs,

You probably could make a 3rd printer capable of printing the steel components for a bridge. If you pour enough money and time down the drain, there’s no reason why you couldn’t have some robots handling the scaffolding and “3D printing” the concrete too. It would be several¹ orders of magnitude slower and more expensive than using the normal processes, but hey why build 10000 bridges when you can build just one that tech bros can masturbate to.

¹ this “several” is breaking the world record of heavy lifting

jmcs,

Yes like they fixed cookies. It is not the EU’s fault that users don’t realize that cookie banners aren’t required if the service is not doing anything shady.

jmcs,

When your entire security model consists of obfuscation and sticking your head in the sand, sweeping the vulnerabilities under the proverbial rug is the obvious course of action.

jmcs,

Racism vs laziness. It’s like an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. They would need to fill an entire form.

jmcs,

Not all American nationals are American citizens. For example people from American Samoa, are US nationals, but not US citizens, so they need to check the non-citizen box when getting a passport.

jmcs,

I mean, their entire argument is that islamist movements wouldn’t do jihadist actions in the month when Mohammad waged the first jihad, which is probably the dumbest thing anyone ever said about Islamic terrorism.

jmcs,

Hey, scientology is completely different, scientology has aliens flying in DC-8s and using mid 20th century police hats. @Spendrill theory is at least 90% more believable.

jmcs,

Even Google and Microsoft ran into this problem. Microsoft dropped Singularity ages ago, and while Google’s Fuschia made it to literally a couple of devices its future is uncertain since Google laid off a significant part of the team working on it.

jmcs,

spoiler for a Scalzi bookThat’s literally the plot of Redshirts by John Scalzi

jmcs,

Of course they deserve it. Democracies give a great power to the people, and with great power comes great responsibility. If people neglect their responsibility they deserve the consequences.

Xbox claims mass layoffs were the outcome of a ‘concerning’ lack of industry growth | VGC (www.videogameschronicle.com)

In a message sent to staff when the job cuts were announced, Spencer said the decision was taken after Microsoft and Activision’s leadership teams “set priorities, identified areas of overlap, and ensured that we’re all aligned on the best opportunities for growth”....

jmcs,

That’s a funny way of saying that the industry is run by imbeciles that aren’t aware of the law of diminishing returns or that demand has hard limits even on the best of times.

jmcs,

How the fuck is no one in jail over this?

jmcs, (edited )

Talk for yourself. For example, I’m forever grateful to the suckers trusting souls that effectively paid to alpha test Cyberpunk 2077 and gave enough money to CD Project Red to fix it before I played it.

jmcs,

With Trump and the judges’ general lack of courage to enforce the law against oligarchs, these tend to be more like gag suggestions.

jmcs,

And it includes a provision demanding Hamas release the hostages. The resolution is pretty good for Israel in general. Netanyahu’s problem is that he doesn’t want to recognize the UN’s authority or the legitimacy of international law in general.
