In this case IBM is involved tangentially but enough that I fear interference. Fedora already is opt-out rather than opt-in to diagnostic feedback.

I am also concerned about the priorities of the person who posted that. The comments indicate somebody who isn’t willing to listen to the fact that basically every output in the article is wrong.

A spokesperson for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said that both the victim and her husband work for the LASD.

Windows 7 wasn’t Microsoft’s choice. It was the last version they produced under the injunction from the late 90s that prevented them from bundling services with Windows. Otherwise Microsoft actually had Microsoft Accounts (then called .Net Passports) ready to go for XP but had to make it optional. They had planned to tie activation to an account back then.

This also represents the last time the US gave a shit about antitrust.

I was wondering why Marvel wasn’t on the list. Turns out there is apparently a difference between a private equity firm and a holding company. So there is at least part of your answer.

My grandparents still had dial-up in 2016.

You aren’t even trying. Both of your examples require human interaction and imagination at the time of creation.

Player pianos aren’t black boxes of plagiarism and kaleidoscopes don’t show amalgams of other people’s works.

You didn’t even need the trailer. The teaser poster was cooler than the whole movie. 9 year old me was fucking stoked just seeing this:
