Forgive me for getting angry at the wilful ignorance of so many useful idiots. I'm just kinda done with being "nice". Over a decade of vetted, verifiable leaks exposing the unbridl…

>Criminal charges are handled in US District Courts, and are Constitutionally guaranteed to be public. If you think that the US DOJ hasn't spent a million man-hours to find some wa…

>He would be sent to USA to respond of his alleged crimes in front of a public court of justice. Haha, no. He'd be sent to a secret FISA Star Chamber. There's no way he'd be tried …

>WikiLeak's big coup was cablegate Don't gaslight. Wikileaks' big coup was Collateral Murder, which showed to the entire world how US soldiers enjoy committing war crimes at the be…

Strangely enough, there's the same sort of renewables-only electricity choices in oil-obsessed Alberta, Canada. The city of Calgary's rail transit system runs solely on electricity…

>What we don't want is for the rock to end up in a state where we can't live on it comfortably. This is what drives me crazy about climate change deniers and their continued delusi…

I didn't know that Andrew Askins ran Google.

In fairness to Asimov's laws of robotics, he invented them as a device to illustrate how fundamentally flawed those sorts of rules can be. His robot stories are about how unforesee…

>I really wish uBlock Origin at least had the option to enable a blacklist model It effectively does have this capability. Just disable all the standard filter lists, and manually …

Exactly. Technology exists to solve problems. One of the greatest problems in today's world is the metaphorical tsunami of advertising sewage flooding our mental shorelines. Browse…

Spotted the true Canadian. (Or possibly Michigander.)

>There should be a word for "overly concerned and judgmental about what other people do in their private life" How about "vegan"?

>By this quiz rationale, your average vegetable wouldn't be vegan because it may rely on animal fertilizer... Heck, this could be extended to the use of oxygen to breathe. It's ano…

>Vegans own smug and 'ethical checkmate' inanity I maintain that the Vegan Police from Scott Pilgrim are one of the finest satirical concepts I've ever seen in fiction.

KDE these days seems like configurability-overload. I appreciate the flexibility but it just feels excessive to me. I think a lot of the options should be tucked away into an equiv…

The recent extension-disabling problem made me realize how awful the unfiltered web is. Trying to use mobile Chrome for the first time ever was a dreadful experience. I legitimatel…

>Tumblr used to be, it might as well be dead now, it's going the way of MySpace (sold off a few times, passed around, until it's hardly valuable at all). That will turn around quic…

>GPay I'm very happy to live in Canada, where Google Pay is completely irrelevant thanks to Interac. I can walk into any business with a payment terminal and know that my debit car…

I've always found it disturbing how Gargron rarely makes any attempt to disabuse people of the incorrect notion that Mastodon was the start of, and the canonical example of, open a…

>I suppose after that would be New Sagan Oh, I don't know. Sounds like that sort of rocket would cost billions and billions of dollars.

In fairness to SpaceX, Falcon Heavy's long delays weren't a result of mismanagement or false claims. The delays were due to Heavy turning out to be largely unnecessary for routine …

It's also easier on the learning curve. I've just gotten back into coding as a hobby after a two-decade-long gap. In that time every few years I've tried to pick up C, and always e…

This is like the software equivalent of Red Letter Media's video library.

I did see and disable the telemetry option in the preferences the first time I used it, and so far it seems to behave itself and not quietly re-enable telemetry.

When I discovered VS Code a few months ago (I'm a hobbyist just getting into coding, not a professional) after many recommendations from friends who code and are die-hard open sour…
