The robots are there to replace the apologetic delivery driver, not the rich asshole. They'd never let that happen.

Bots can just as easily be programmed with an address blacklist. At least a delivery driver with a spine could choose to ignore that list, if his livelihood wasn't on the line...

So the cats were in the bathroom, with no one else inside, with the door closed? Cats are flexible sure but I've never seen one get under a door jamb.

Critikal created a great tribute to his mentor on YouTube, should go watch it. RIP

The flip side of that same coin is that, IME, fediverse developers champion data privacy, anonymity, and decentralization. These developers believe that users should never offer that much personal data to one platform, so they build and advocate for platforms that don't require that data. Building a lowercase-f facebook on the fediverse would betray that foundation.

I think few open source projects enjoy the user satisfaction that VLC does. Even Linux itself is not as friendly to its users.

VLC (by cause or by effect?) also doesn't have evangelists trying to push it. It doesn't need them. Contrarianism is a strong motivator in today's culture.

I was going to reply "at least the burning of Alexandria was an accident," and then I thought to look that up. Seems egotists destroying public collections of knowledge is just baked into humanity. We'll never be free of its scourge.

That's journalism right there.

I don't know, I think a rag calling itself Windows Central might have a bias towards Microsoft...

Even the tone of the article sounds like their arms are tired from carrying their water.

One thing after another, Microsoft is forced to respond time and time again to ongoing rumors that it's leaving the hardware space.

A new Xbox rumor started this weekend that's now blown out of proportion, as usual.

Can you bitch any harder?

"No. { Several paragraphs of argument that's not mutually exclusive }"

Arghh hate that shit. I don't know why online argumenters love to start with "No and." I don't block because of it but man, nobody learns how to have a constructive debate anymore.

 

This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh
