RE: What are the chances of solving this problem.
I had a teacher that would pull this kind of bullshit:
What is the fourth word of this sentence:
When it is midnight in New York, what time is it in Los Angeles?A) 9 PM
B) midnight
C) 3 AMMost people wouldn't read the question at the top and just answer the question at the bottom.

RE: Net neutrality non-neutrality

@dkf said in The official unpopular opinions thread:
There might actually be a technical reason for that. WhatsApp does the majority of traffic directly between peers, and since most people will be messaging others on the same network (and often people who are physically quite close) that traffic won't leave the ISP's own network and won't cost them much.
But think of all the messaging apps we're losing out on!
What the fuck is this comment supposed to mean? You say you don't support net-neutrality regulation because "It undermines innovation and competition." Then @wharrgarbl gives a specific example of the lack of net-neutrality regulation hurting competition. And you come back with... what exactly? Your comment reads to me like a sarcastic way of saying "nobody cares about innovation and competition in your example." I don't get how that supports your opinion.

RE: Kind of a cool app ...
@bb36e said in Kind of a cool app ...:
after using my credit card everywhere my signature deteriorated into a wiggly line
It's even worse now where I live, a lot of businesses are using iPads running square instead of a traditional POS. (INB4 iPads are a POS.) Drawing my signature with my finger on a tablet or phone is basically impossible, so wiggly line it is. My wife is really tempted to start drawing penises on those things...

@blakeyrat I know, right? It's about as silly as measuring length with the size of your foot or thumb.
Actually it's not your foot but the alleged foot size of a long dead ruler.
What's wrong with measuring things with a ruler?why not a dead ruler of average length?
And if everyone get to pick the foot size of any current or dead ruler, things will get out of hand pretty quickly.
What if your country's ruler says that his foot is bigger than it really is? Never mind, that would never happen in real life.

RE: Because there's so much wrong with iTunes

Ok, I'll try to be serious for a moment.
@accalia said in Because there's so much wrong with iTunes:
@kt_ said in Because there's so much wrong with iTunes:
I think @accalia's rant about Apple making SD card slot in their laptops half inside/half outside so that people can't easily extend their drives (cause yeah, sure, that's why so many manufacturers do it that way).
then tell me, why is it that "full sized" SD card slots are not full sized.
Are you even serious? There could be a hundred of reasons! A lot of them having to do with the way the internals are built and that most people don't really care about the ad card slots 'a construction.
oh, and i interact with apple products daily because about half the company laptops are apples.
we buy the apple laptops for 2.5 k$, and they are outspecc'd by the HP Elite books we buy for 2.2k$.
the elitebooks have a 3 year warranty, the apples have two, and an extra year is not available to us wholesale, we have to buy them separately. We don't bother however, because one in ten apple laptop makes it past the 2 year mark without needing to get replaced for damage, or under warranty.
the elitebooks on the other hand have a 60% survival rate well on into 5 years, although we replace them every 3-4 (depending on yearly budget) because after that they are underperforming to the point efficiency suffers.
Additionally our helpdesk spends 3-5x as much on replacement parts for the Apple products as they do for the PCs. and yes this is all itemized out and verifiable.
oh, and 3 out of 5 laptops that land on that helpdesk with issues that require diagnosis and resolution by our helpdesk technicians are apple laptops.
we pay more, for lower specs, for lower survivability and lower reliability, and higher helpdesk resource requirements.
I wouldn't know, I've never owned an Apple laptop. I've been talking mainly about their phones the whole time, however none of my friends who own MacBooks has ever complained about that and I know a few have laptops older than 2 years. Either way, I wouldn't know.
Apple may work well for you personally, and bully for you if it does, but from where I sit the only way to make apple work "right" is to have a completely homogenous network where the only products in it are apple branded. Otherwise, you will have issues.
I don't have any other apple piece of equipment and I've never had any problems. Are you talking iTunes? I use iTunes only for backups. Spotify rules!
That's nothing i'm willing to accept for my personal use, and it's the reason i am vocal against apple product (that and the business practices of apple and apple's board partners)
I wanted to say something about "then stop going around calling Apple users iDiots but then I realized it's not you who does that.
Yeah, sure, like any of that even matters.

RE: :wtf: How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread)
@Maciejasjmj said in How can this be so wrong??? (AKA the Discopocalypse thread):
Discourse happily wastes gigabytes of disk space tracking every single read post in every single topic for every single user, only to then completely discard that information.
Don't forget, they also track how many milliseconds every single user has spent looking at every single post in every single topic. That's gonna be really useful in some hypothetical universe.

RE: The right to fork makes open source software a breeding ground for innovation!?
So do you have an example of something open source has done recently that I might consider innovative? I mean you can at least try here.
Docker? While they didn't invent containers, they're the runaway leader in the field of container automation. Obviously you're gonna move the goalposts on me, but a normal person would say Docker contributes new and useful technology.

RE: The Official Good Ideas Thread™
the main line is the one that parallels Arapaho Road in Addison
I used to cross this line every day when I lived in Carrollton. Early one morning, traffic is stopped as a train is going by extremely slowly. While I'm stopped, I see a guy walk out of a gas station with two coffees and a bag of donuts. He runs onto the train and it speeds away. I guess even railroad engineers need their caffeine in the morning...

Now I need to learn how to write a device driver for Linux...
Status: Successed!
Status: I've debugged my module, and I can load it manually, but now I want it to load automatically at boot.
How do I do that?
Put the name of your module in/etc/modules.conf
.
Great, that sounds easy!
Fuck you, I don't have a/etc/modules.conf
. It's/etc/modules
.
OK, that seems to work. Now how do I pass parameters to my module?
Put the parameters after the name of your module in/etc/modules
.
Great, that sounds easy!
Fuck you, I'm gonna go ahead and not load your module. Silently.
Really?
Oh wait, the accepted answer had a comment that was hidden from you: You actually need to put the parameters in a new file in/etc/modprobe.d
.
