"Tumblr CEO announces he's really, really bad at his job."

I'm finding they are stealth restoring them. As in, I've deleted all my posts/comments, but every once and a while, I'm finding someone replying to a post I've most definitely deleted. And my profile shows no posts/comments associated with my account.

They want to destroy the Left's ability to share ideas and congregate.

GM doesn't have the expertise to pull this off.

If you quit with no notice, do they fire you or something?

Palia just announced they'll have a gameplay first look on July 18th, from 1pm to 2pm Eastern. They'll stream it on Twitch and YouTube.

Tech involves a lot of do x, y, and z to get outcome a with no ambiguity. That appeals to a lot of the right wing.

Directly from the Palia.com website.

I'm looking forward to this one. It is going to be different from the run of the mill shooter mentality that has taken over the MMO scene.

Sure, if Meta isn't going to act actively malicious, and they will. That is their standard operating procedure. How anyone can look at how Facebook has operated and say, "Ah yes, they'll be a good neighbor," is beyond me. We should be walling them off and let them be a cancer onto themselves, rather than let them in the ecosystem and then turn malignant.

The guy that sold Bannon the user data he wanted under the table?

I got a fiver that they'll implement "ActivityPub" in a way that breaks things.

Beats the hell out of the Republicans deciding it. The Pandemic outed them.

Change for the sake of change. If it didn't look significantly different, users would question why the upgrade. Doesn't matter if they made significant, positive (being charitable here) change if the user experience didn't change. Been there, done that.

For home use, maybe. It will upset corporate customers to no end with a 2-3 release cycle. The app vendors won't keep up, keeping the workplace a mess and well behind the new release curve. Deal with this on the Windows server side of things all the time. We're trying to drag our app vendors off Windows 2012, and they are only coming kicking and screaming. Most only support up to 2016, which we find insane.

Too many people turned off telemetry data. They couldn't get enough of it to just upgrade under the 10 banner. They're forcing more and more online bits and slowly not letting you turn the other stuff off.

How is Linux with flight sticks? With Steam now available in Linux, lots of game compatibility is taken care of, but I would love my peripherals to work as well.

Linux always had the problem of highly technical people building wonderful things with a GUI that looks like it was designed by a third grader. Mainly because the majority of Linux contributors think the GUI is some fad that will blow over soon. I'm exaggerating of course, the last 10 years has seen some massive improvements. But the GUI being an afterthought still has a bit of truth to it.

Aren't summaries and reviews covered under fair use? Otherwise Newspapers have been violating copyrights for hundreds of years.

At my grocery store, they added in a ton of self checkout, but they didn't give you enough room to bag your groceries. So you have a cart of food, but a mini-shelf to store them on. And yes, they are no limit. They typically now only have two manned lanes open during peak shopping times. I'm sure some theft is part of it, I'm also convinced most of the "theft" is from the stupid setup and the scales on the mini-shelves. Only place I stop for a receipt check is at membership places like Costco. Everywhere else is a firm, "No thank you," and I keep walking. Go ahead, call the cops. I have a receipt.
