Comment The desktop itself is dead (Score 1, Insightful) 108

There will never be a "year of the desktop", because the desktop is dead. The reality is that such a large percentage of the population use mobile devices for the majority of their interactions that whatever happens on the desktop is irrelevant. I find it bizarre because the mobile experience is so abysmal compared to a proper desktop. But I've never understood the mainstream, and I guess this is just another example of that.

Yeah I don't see any criminal convictions and no court would ever be able to convict him of what the media have lied about. Why do you think they haven't shown his exact words fully. Why did social media delete the videos where he called for calm? Democrats are lying traitors. Always.

It's too bad you're a clown and he never said "bleach" he was talking about disinfectant and asking questions of some experts nearby regarding UV light and other interesting things people were testing out. . you're an petulant toddler. But keep crying, and I'll keep enjoying.

"anyone that is lost on what I was saying, you are part of the problem" "You're part of the problem." "You're part of the problem." "You're part of the problem." Ok millenial lefty douchebag. Get some fucking new material. Thing is you're wrong and that article you link to is unresearched. saying "this doesn't exist" just because you look both ways across the street doesn't mean shit. We know for a fact that people, who have been at antifa gatherings HAVE been arrested for starting fires. We know that antifa gatherings have set buildings, dumpsters ablaze. Now whether you want to argue how strong of ties any one individual has to "antifa" guess what. Let's use YOUR measurement stick that the left love to do. If there's even the most remote association, it's antifa. Justl ike you pull the same shit when you label people "far right" or "neo-fascist" See the thing is you're a hypocrite and you're a clown. And if you are lost on what I'm saying, you're part of the problem. So STFU you rodent child.

Comment what is this "white" thing people are saying? (Score -1) 290

I've never met this so called "white person" people are always complaining about. Unless we mean albino, but they are kind of gray in fact. So some cross albino race is out there in the world that thinks it's the best? I heard about this other race, called "personofcolorTM" not long ago, these were people who seemed to team up for some reason as a clique and express 'personofcolor' supremacy constantly vying for their own special segregated spaces and constantly making racial remarks against the fictitious"white people" and 'whiteness'. Seems like this website Vice is ignoring the vastly larger mainstream hatred of whiteness, some sort of boogeyman made up while attacking the fictitious boogieman instead. Weird fiction. Even to the point where they have people creating hoaxes just because there's no 'white' people to be found. https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wtoc.com%2F2020%2F05%2F1... oh well maybe this will make sense one day.

Comment Companies always tech-ing up, yet..... (Score 1) 232

Fact is, we think things are getting more simple, but they aren't. There are things that come and go. for example I think there are aspects of social media that have come and gone for certain companies. So things abandoned mean, less tech, but if anything, products and services are becoming more integrated and that's not making it easier requiring less intervention. And that comes from the drive within a company to progress in some form. Some of it is the drive for higher numbers. Some of the drive is to take on or improve the creation process or value-adds for customers. I think certain people who grew up with Star Trek always have a strange impression of what tech debt and tech maintenance is. As if a team of 10 or 12 on a Starship of a thousand people is enough to maintain all those systems including the propulsion hardware, medical facilities. You can crawl around in those clean hallways, point a diagnostic probe at a part of the system, maybe pull out a chip and reseat or replace... then all done! Yah right. More and more devices with potential connectivity, and more software and entertainment and facilities and service provisioning. IT is not going away. I'm not sure what peak IT looks like but we're not really close or going to see a downward slope just because Cringely feels like he needs less in HIS life and is getting long in the tooth and simply doesn't foresee where things can go.
