Re: anti-Apple-tards

Aww, was the nasty website mean to your favourite mega corp?

Re: Morons announcing crap too other morons isnt vital.

Thanks for that announcement.

Re: experienced C and C++ coders can bang out reliable code without too much difficulty

Why the FUCK don't they then?

Re: Trump hasn't chickened out... he's wised up

I'll have some of what you're on, that shit is STRONG!

re: police (will turn up if you dare to misgender a toddler

Oh no! Was your conservative voice silenced??

Re: A sizeable chuck of my income comes from rent of the building that my company rents from me.

Your company rents your building from you and that makes you money? That's an episode of Married with Children. Peggy becomes a Patty Bright girl (USA Avon Lady) and buys herself tons of her cosmetics so she gets a massive commish.

That's not actually making money.

Re: Had I designed the ladies' sweaters.....

Ha ha ha! Because women have breasts!

Saucy but hilarious!

The Twitter files.

If you're talking bollocks, best to post AC.

Re: People seem to have lost the ability to sift through junk themselves

Is that what you think, people just can't be arsed with the truth any more?

Or does 15 years of education cuts mean that critical thinking isn't promoted any more? Surely the government wouldn't deliberately try and keep the populace uneducated just because that makes them easier to manipulate....

re: Greenpeace are one of the organisations most responsible for climate change

What, by noticing it?

Re: there's no way he didn't anticipate this kind of scenario.

He's rich so he has to be clever, right?

If Elon has taught us one thing......

re: On the whole I expect a system administrator to be something more than a GUI jockey.

Like what, a CLI jockey?

I don't give a fuck what tools my sys admins use, their job is to keep things working, not evangelise for a particular style of user interface.

Re: I have this browser open to read El Reg and nothing else

So you need a browser per site you visit.....

Sounds like your cure is more of a pain in the arse than the problem.

Re: show ads to non-tracked users based purely on the query they just entered.

Then why the fuck don't they just do that?

Re: farm or likely

I think it's far more likely that you meant a different turn of phrase.

Re: which I've used for perhaps, I dunno, 30 years, had disappeared

Technology is changing you say?!?!

Fuck! Time to get out of this business.....

Re: The ones they do pay are on a knife-edge

"Content creators" decided to make content for a massive corporation in the hope that they'd get paid enough to live on.

That's not a viable business model.

oooh!

Less dodgy than morphine? That's an endorsement.

re: I don't understand the mentality of anyone using or endorsing Apple products.

Maybe you should try using "empathy"?

Re: So, very much like the wildly popular Raspberry Pi series.

Except it's about 8 times as expensive. And Pi's dont have ports on both sides of either the short or long side of the board.

So not very much like a rapberry pi at all if you think about it for a second before you hit "Submit".

Re: hacks that write the drivel that gets published here, HATE anything to do with Apple

On an article explaining how Windows 11 is bollocks you're moaning about an anti apple bias.

You don't complain about the drivel hacks have written about MS, Google, IBM or any of the other tech giants.

What's so special about Apple? You think el Reg should take the piss out of everyone else but leave your favourite tech alone?

Millions of people do manage to work with Windows, often on large deployments of hundreds or thousands of pcs.

Not sure "I can't work with this OS" is the brag you think it is.

re: I am quite sure that he will have the figures to back it up

Really?

Why?

re: Here is the uncomfortable truth: almost all "social media" channels are unnecessary.

Here is the uncomfortable truth: almost all social activity is unnecessary. Most people prefer to have a bit of it in their lives though.

Being able to easily communicate globally is an incredible feat of technology.

You kids don't know you're born.....
