  • FCC Chairman Says His “Easy Way Or The Hard Way” Comment About Jimmy Kimmel Wasn’t Meant As A Threat To Pull Licenses If ABC Didn’t Fire Him

  • FCC Chairman: Someone should take care of Jimmy Kimmel.

    FCC Chairman: Noooo! Not like that!!

  • Las Vegas mayor says the city is suffering from a serious drop in Canadian tourists: 'We need you, and we miss you' | Fortune

    Jump

  • I have an idea! What if those filthy Canadians were just stopped at the border and customs can just search them and confiscate any cash, then send them back to Canada and send the cash to Vegas. Then we don't have to deal with those annoying foreigners and we still get their money.

  • ‘This Isn’t Normal’: Psychologists Sound Alarm on Trump Dozing Off

    Jump

  • Trump should be forced to do what he wanted Biden to do. Where's all those cognitive tests now? What happened to all the concern about elderly presidents in the last 3 years? It was a #1 crisis when Biden was president and every yawn in public was dissected, but now that Trump is dozily walking around, suddenly age doesn't matter.

  • Trump Says ‘Smart People Don’t Like Me’

    Jump

  • The stupider you are, the more attractive his platform becomes. Smart people tend not to vote against their interests, but stupid people do it, do it proudly, and keep doing it even after it bites them in the ass.

    How many times have we seen where someone's spouse has been deported or their benefits have been cut and they STILL support Trump.

    Trump's #1 skill is telling people in the room what they want to hear. He's just pretty bad about following up. His followers tend not to hold him to the fire. For example, if he promises thing X and doesn't do it, later he was "trolling" or "that was a joke to rile up the Democrats". Of course, when he does get a win they trumpet that from the rooftops.

    He's probably the first one with the combination of charisma and lack of ethics that makes him exploit his base.

    It continually amazes me that he's been so successful at capturing low-income voters. When you look at Trump he was born with a silver spoon. The man lives in a literal gilded house! Yet, he manages to stay "relatable" to his base. If you're really wildly rich, I can see why you'd want to vote for Trump because he's done a lot of great things for the extremely wealthy. However, for the 99% of us that are not wealthy, I think he's made times pretty hard.

    I wish I could say people are learning as we go along, but it seems like the voters are getting spanked and coming back asking for more.

    So, I agree. Smart people mostly don't like him.

  • Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann

  • The openness of Android is the thing that kept me on the platform. Now that the openness is being removed, iOS is now more appealing.

    Sadly, I think most of the customers that use Android never sideload a single app at all. I don't expect this to create a mass exodus, but a smaller one with power users.

  • This will only be effective so long because gradually apps will require greater and greater API levels. Staying stuck in the past is, at best, a temporary solution.

  • If those other sources make more money and get more viewers, why did it start on YouTube?

  • Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus

  • $$$ that's why. YouTube gives the greatest return. If they post to multiple platforms, not only is it more work, but they then also subtract from the number of views they get on YouTube. It's all about the $$$.

  • Matt Walsh is one of the most smarmy fucks around. I swear, some people listen to him because he has a nice haircut and smile.

    I only wish he was older, like Trump, so we wouldn't expect to have him on the earth for another two decades.

    Trying to rewind the USA back to when we were all smoking cigarettes and drinking whisky is insane.

  • Or... let them stay on Reddit. I like lemmy much better, and it's possibly due to the people that are not present and the lack of commercial interest.

  • Mozilla under fire for Firefox AI "bloat" that blows up CPU and drains battery

    Jump

  • Much like electricity, lazy boards seek the path of least resistence. What's easier, building a world-class browser and properly marketing it and maintaining profitability, or just setting your default search engine to "Google.com" and cashing the massive check?

    At this point, there's very few people even left at Mozilla that could even reverse the trend. Go back and look at their past few years. Other than some minor activity to Firefox, almost all their initiatives are little side missions that last for a few years and then are sunset.

    Stuck like Pocket, Mozilla Social, Firefox Send, Firefox OS, etc. The list goes on and on. They invest heavily in some flash in the pan initiative and then ax it off a few years later.

  • Intel CPU Temperature Monitoring Driver For Linux Now Unmaintained After Layoffs

    Jump

  • The problems at Intel haven't even begun. When a big company does layoffs like that, there's a certain amount of institutional knowledge that just evaporates.

    There are going to be a large amount of dropped balls at Intel and this is just one of them.

    Sadly, I think instead of the market responding and Intel going under, Intel will mutate into a government subsidized technology company. At least for the present moment, they serve as an example of what could be domestic manufacturing.

    To me, their attitudes strongly resemble Blackberry just prior to the iPhone coming out. They have a certain amount of arrogance and are resting on past glories. It's pretty clear that just cranking up the wattage and shipping a new product isn't a path they can walk forever.

    It's a shame that Intel was actually on a plan to get things fixed up. Their former CEO pay Gelsinger had told them they had to endure some years of pain before things would be better. Unfortunately, the board was not so tolerant and kicked him out before the plan was fully realized.

    Their board has some really questionable members on it too, so all around not a very good situation. Probably the only thing in Intel's favor is that starting a new microprocessor company isn't just something you do in the basement, so they have some room to turn the ship around.

  • Kent Overstreet winning hearts and minds in the LKML again.

    Jump

  • The problem is 100% Kent. Linus and the rest of the main contributors have a certain way they like to run and operate. Kent has again and again shown that he doesn't like working that way and keeps sneaking stuff into patchsets.

    You can be a 500% genius, but if you're working as a team member (which anyone doing a sizeable contribution to the kernel is), then you have to learn how to play in the sandbox.

    I can't see any possible future where BCacheFS stays in the kernel. Kent is starting a fight he cannot win. If he doesn't want to play nice, then his FS will have to be maintained as a kernel patch, which will forever be a limiting factor in its adoption. It's too bad he doesn't just swallow his pride and play by the rules.

    btrfs is no perfect piece of software either, so it's good to know there are alternatives out there.
