The real issue is that people are drawn to all these free services because no one has any money to actually pay for things anymore. You can make all the open standards you want, but if you tell people they have to fork over real money to get a server, they're gonna go "nah" and go back to being...

He was. But now that's Trump. Trump has turned almost the entire party into a cult who legitimately think of him as a literal god, and will gladly throw anyone under the bus, past or present, if their vision for America doesn't align perfectly with his. Anyone who isn't in that cult doesn't need...

I do wish it didn't have to be Democrats saying those things, though. Like, the most charitable reading of the situation is that Democrats have taken over the vacant position of the Republican never-Trumpers in the hopes of shaming the shameless, and in the process leaving a vacancy of their own...

It's a good start. I want to see violence against these Nazi death machines escalate to the point where they become uninsurable and owners are afraid to take them out of their garages for fear of their actual lives.

It really does say only bad things about us as an entire species that the only time we can get along is when there's someone else more worth hating.

...we're screwed.

No, the worst thing they can do is is the British Labour Party strategy of acting limply on the sidelines until the public get sufficiently disgusted by the incumbents, and then using their supermajority to push all of the exact same fascist policies that their rivals did. As cynical as I am, I...

Yes? I'm used to insane people doubling down on the worst ideas they've ever had and staying locked in there for life.

No, it's a pretty recent thing from what I can tell. The big social-justice movement didn't even get started until around 2012, and for a while it seemed like they were a united front of anti-capitalism and anti-bigotry. The first I noticed signs of infighting was that left-coast city where...

Unfortunately there's also a big issue with attempting to court the progressive left now: it's been split into the death-to-capitalism crowd and the death-to-the-white-hegemony crowd, each of whom are now convinced that the other is a tool of the right.

Well hey, maybe they won't have to kick us out, then.

Just so you know, Steam does have the option of disabling its DRM when publishing a game. It's not publicly visible which ones did and which ones didn't, and I doubt anyone even cares which ones are which (including the Steam fanboys who love to drop in and well-actually anyone who complains...

NATO needs to kick us out starting yesterday.

So, funny thing about that verse he's invoking. "The rod of correction" is extremely vague language, and there's a very good chance it was a metaphor referring to measuring sticks. Back in Bible times and for quite a long time afterward, it was common for people in charge of things to own rods...

At this point, the only logical explanation for why the files haven't been found and leaked by some agent of chaos, if nothing else, is that they've done such a thorough job ensuring that only people who are willing to help them with the coverup are allowed anywhere within the halls of...

Remember, folks: Only suckers "buy" things from DRM-locked services in the first place.

At this point I can't even imagine wanting to get one used, no matter how low the prices drop. Not because of the stigma—that's easily remedied by painting it yellow—but because it'd be impossible to maintain without continuing to give the company your money. Even if you were to hack it to stop...

That article got me to re-read the text of the tweet, and... somehow the bit about Italians makes even less sense. He's not bashing them; he's accusing the trans community of hating them.

How many papers are part of this particular one? I feel like this would be unconscionable even if it were literally just the Washington Post that's doing this.

So, we're asking them to turn themselves in so they can be locked up, with the threat of being caught and locked up if they don't. This man really just has no clue how to accomplish things, does he?
