My dream is a hemispheric common market, with open trade and open borders, some time in the future with energy that is as green and sustainable as we can get it, powering growth and opportunity for every person in the hemisphere.

RE: We need to be more user hostile to help them embrace freedom!
@blek There's a hierarchy.
- First there's normal people
- Then there's the standard open source enthusiasts that know their way around a Linux distro or two
- Then there's the hardcore open source believers that will try to school you of its virtues at every opportunity and insist that Cinelerra is just as good as Adobe Premiere Pro (and if it's missing some feature, you can just add it yourself)
- Then there's the people still doing things like install parties, using GPG encryption for all emails and probably still carrying a Knoppix 4.0 LiveCD everywhere they go
- And way up top there's Richard Stallman, browsing the web on a Minifree Libreboot T400 (certified free of binary blobs), reading websites in text mode via a script that wgets the URLs and sends him the contents by email

How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?
One. They're efficient and not very funny.

RE: If cold-pressed juice isn't for you, try some "raw" water
@jbert said in If cold-pressed juice isn't for you, try some "raw" water:
Call me a conspiracy theorist
Don't mind if I do.
Holy shit, people don't appreciate how amazing modern technology is. We can deliver clean, drinkable water to every home in every city in the (first) world, for like <0.001€/L (which is why we waste it by using it in the toilet).
Imagine travelling to the future, and discovering everyone has micro fusion reactors everywhere, like in Back to the Future, that can convert any matter to generate unlimited free power. And then these people install a noisy diesel generator in their homes because they prefer "raw electricity".

RE: More unified Windows GUI frameworks?
Too fucking late to get your shit together, Microsoft. Enjoy seeing Windows APIs fade to HTML5 and Android apps.

RE: Another GDPR? Electric googleoo?
@Zenith I personally appreciate the EU and its institutions and I find claims of "bureaucracy" and "unelectedness" to be usually exaggerated.
Except the cookie law, they messed that one up.

RE: 3080 scalping
Nvidia should just have auctioned the damn cards. The end result is exactly the same as with scalpers (for the end user), but the money goes to Nvidia directly (who probably deserves it more).

RE: In other news today...
@topspin said in In other news today...:
That in itself should be punishable
That's a slippery slope. You start with "no unenforceable legal clauses" soon it's "EULAs have to be actually explained to the user in simple terms", and before you know it, people can start directly knowing what's illegal and what's not without having to spend thousands of dollars in lawyer consultation fees.

RE: Random thought of the day
Transparent encryption is kind of an oxymoron.
Both etymologically and in terms of security.
