Comment Or maybe the Disney star wars movies are crap? (Score 1) 340

With the exception of the excellent Rogue One, all disney star wars movie (I haven't seen ROS, not going to) feel like fanfiction. Re-hashing the main beats from canon, poor writing, no overall plan for the trilogy.. The last jedi pretty much killed what was a guaranteed event movie every christmas if it had been handled by semi-competent writers who love the material. When you see what can be done with The Mandalorian, disney is almost taunting us that they could write a good trilogy the whole time if they felt like it. And that has nothing to do with streaming: the Mandalorian is a thinly-disguised western, but it is well written, with approachable characters that do believable things. It's fun to watch. Imagine that! I haven't been entertained in a movie theater more than twice in two years, and that was Alita Battle Angel and Ready Player One.

Comment What's a good alternative to Slashdot? (Score 5, Insightful) 727

I've been reading daily since 1997, but I can't condone pandering to a professional victims and hatemonger and giving out a patreon link to fund more of this crap

Reddit was destroyed by SJWs in a matter of weeks, if Slashdot wants to follow the same route and promote safespaces after almost 20 years of being a respected destination, fine.

Any good suggestions?

The Wii Balance Board was one of their top sellers, so the health angle makes sense. It's not like they would lack a market for that.

Comment Q10 or Wiko (Score 2) 303

If you're really bent on having a hardware keyboard, the Blackberry Q10 is pretty decent. There's zero apps for it, but I guess you didn't mind if you held on to your N900 for so long.

Otherwise, get a ridiculously overpowered/underpriced android phone like a Wiko. They got for like $200 without a plan and run a recent Android on very decent hardware. This way you can try it out without sinking too much money into a samsung or htc phone if it turns out you can't stand Android.

Comment Greg, you should know.. (Score 1) 211

It makes much more sense to teach a programmer sales skills than to teach a sales guy basic programming knowledge. Programmers are honest and appear honest to customers too, which is a massive plus when selling to other programmers in particular. You should know that in your experience of say, Krishna vs. a guy like Cédric or yourself :-)

Submission + - Dell censors IdeaStorm Linux dissent

thefickler writes: It seems pointless seeking ideas and feedback if you 're going to ignore and delete the ones you don't like. That's exactly what Dell is doing with its IdeaStorm web site, which has been set up by the company to solicit ideas and feedback. It deleted a post that linked to an article that criticized its handling of the "preinstalled Linux" issue.
