I’ve worked for large corps before, all had backups, and whenever money was at risk there were cold backups as well.

Even the clients who were failing and going bankrupt kept backups, actually.

Didn’t read the root comment? This distinction was already made.

Unless they are truly incompetent, there’s no way they could do that regardless. They’d need a no-backup solution, or at least no cold backups.

If your internal hardware is connected to an active internet connection, that’s kinda on you…

The first is not just wrong, but also dumb.

It’s wrong because anything this website builder can make, an existing template system would be able to do with admittedly more work. No designer needed.

It’s dumb because this is the argument used for literally anything that makes things easier for the layman. Would you rather we live without refrigerators so the milkman has a job? 🤦🏻‍♂️

The second is an ongoing argument with any AI model. And while it brings up a good point, it’s really just the same argument but with “freelancer” and “developer” instead of “artist” or “author.” It doesn’t actually have anything to do with the tool.

And the third is just… someone complaining in a non specific way that is both oddly condescending, while also ignoring the fact that companies (and people) can work on more than one thing. Shocking.

If these weren’t opinions, I’d say they were wrong. I mean, they are wrong to be clear, but I won’t say it.

It’s not the services, it’s the push notification itself. It’s like a book, where the push notification is the cover, and the app is the pages. The government can’t open the book, but they are able to look at the cover all they want.

This is apples move towards putting a cover on top of the books cover… kinda. The metaphor breaks down when you get into what Apple is doing here to be honest.

Yeah I feel like this is the important bit. Has it happened? Yes and no. Yes, because two slates were sent, but no because there was never a plan to submit the incorrect slate. It was literally a CYA procedure to make sure they weren’t holding things up by having sent the wrong slate.

They likely already signed the ToS while going through the surgery paperwork.

Actually, no joke, most drug companies will happily give you coupons or even free meds. They already got everything they can out of your insurance, they’ll happily bump that $700 out of pocket cost to $10.

Because toxicity tends to falter in reality. Not to say there is no toxicity offline, there absolutely is. But you’ll find most of the toxic people have small dog syndrome. They’re all bark until they are face to face with someone. Excluding mob mentality of course.

Nope.

Because “rootkit” sounds more ominous and scary than “kernel level anticheat” and the communities complaining about such things aren’t known to keep hyperbole to a minimum. Gotta push that FUD.

This article for instance, using language that insinuates a huge gap in performance between the Linux distros and windows, when it’s a 6% difference between the best and the worst, on one set of hardware.

It was that easy for an ex cop to agree that acab in a different comment. They agreed to the point that they said they themselves weren’t even a good cop.

When the cops themselves are agreeing with acab… I mean, believe them.

Which is weird because they have a larger market share than Google >.>

It likely was the fault of denuvo, which ironically piracy would strip improving the experience.

This isn’t “punishment” in the eyes of the law. There’s really nothing preventing a site from banning an entire state, it’s happened before, it’ll happen again the way these laws are going.

But yeah, in the specific case of Wikipedia I doubt they’ll do it unless things get pushed to the absolutely limit of what they can handle.

I don’t believe “location you currently are” is a protected class.

You’re catching on!

That wasn’t an appeal to majority. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You’re kinda just making it obvious you don’t understand what is being talked about here. Half of what you’re talking about has nothing to do with premium, or adblock. “The right thing to do” is a crock of shit. And the appeal to majority doesn’t help your case either.

You want premium, good for you. But don’t make shit up to strengthen your position. It just makes it obvious you don’t know what you’re talking about.
