The entire concept of this is fucked up, both in terms of the hereditary control and the mere existence of a "media empire" to begin with.

Anti-trust law and inheritance tax should have made every single aspect of this impossible.

Next semester I'm sanitizing the computers. Students will use LibreOffice and they'll like it.

Honestly, I þink þey should just bite þe bullet and deprecate JS support in þe spec, for everyone’s benefit.

FTFY. Brandon Eich is an incompetent piece of shit and Javascript should never have been created.

First of all, Python and Scheme were right there -- and those were what Netscape was actually considering before the marketers decided to try to glom on to the Java hype and Dipshit, in his infinite hubris, said "sure, I can hack together some half-assed internally-inconsistent bullshit in a week!"

Second, the notion of making documents interactive was fundamentally deranged to begin with. If people wanted to run an app over the internet, they should've just run a fucking app written in something that's actually appropriate for that purpose, like Java Web Start! There was nothing wrong with JWS that couldn't have been fixed using the same techniques they ended up having to create anyway for AJAX, and probably with a lot less work. Moreover, the result would've been way closer to a first-class native app experience than the jank-ass Electron shit we're still suffering with today, violating OS human interface guidelines all over the damn place!

Yes, obviously. Why the fuck wouldn't it be?

Streets are for people. That means:

• Walking in the street is an OK thing.
• Roller-skating in the street is an OK thing.
• Skateboarding in the street is an OK thing.
• Riding a bike in the street is an OK thing.
• Riding a horse in the street is an OK thing.
• Driving a horse-drawn carriage in the street is an OK thing.

So why should driving a kids' plastic toy car, which has similar performance to the above, be any different?

High-powered fast vehicles like cars and motorcycles are the exception in requiring a license, registration and insurance, because they are the interlopers. Everything else is there by right.

This is tyranny. Literal and explicit, without exaggeration.

Understand that and act accordingly.

at least until the decision.

Exactly. Now watch them not actually make the decision, allowing Trump de-facto dictatorial power while the issue officially remains in legal limbo.

USB type A plugs are spin-1/2 particles. They have to rotate 360 degrees, not 180, to be flipped over.

I expect less AI and more effort.

So what I'm hearing is that some more "fierce criticism" needs to be applied to force them to put it back up.

My guess is that it isn't the firing that's temporary, it's the permission. As in, the President can do that as long as it's Trump, but it stops being allowed if a Democrat gets in office.

(That's probably not what they'll claim it means, but I bet that's how it'll work in practice.)

Republicans are lost causes. Principled non-voters had some capacity for rational thought left, at least in theory, and thus should've been open to seeing reason.

Nice to know I'm not the only one thinking it!

It's anti-property-rights propaganda.

LOL, guilty as charged!

On a similiar note…can you put the ! link in the sidebar?

If it's the best solution to your problem, sure! But is it?

There's nothing specific to !fuckcars about your request, so I'm not sure individual action by me is the right answer. Do you know of any examples of other communities that do the same? Have you made a thread somewhere like !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml or !fediverse@lemmy.world proposing it as a standard convention? Have you filed a feature request suggesting that the built-in community link at the top of the sidebar be changed to display the fully-qualified name with exclamation point, or that a button be added next to it to copy the correct text to your clipboard, or something like that?

• I want OpenMW but with the improvements from Skywind.
• Some of the Star Trek point-and-click adventure games (25th Anniversary Game, Judgement Rites, TNG A Final Unity, etc.)
• I can't decide if Tyrian deserves a remaster, or if it's so good it doesn't even need one.

Tim Berners-Lee already sold the soul of the Internet when he approved web DRM.

This is just two twats arguing; neither deserves our trust!

You must be an electrical engineer or something, since you're apparently so used to thinking about flows backwards.

They should display all your accounts as a word cloud and have you draw a line (directional arrow) from the source to the destination. Yes, using your finger (on a touchscreen) or the mouse.

Hmm... I bet somebody could make a tool that references the Sponsorblock database to download all the sponsored segments, apply some AI to figure out who the sponsor is, and then insert it into another database of statistics about who is sponsoring Youtubers, on which channels, and how often.

Then folks like @ExtremeDullard@piefed.social could avoid them easily simply by checking that handy list.
