The geo-exfiltration of personal information needs to be in great big banner lights; and not just because you’re outside America, or China, or wherever the bot happens to be where Firefox is exfitrating your history as queries.

Exfil is bad; geo-exfiltration is next-level bad.

communities here I suppose

Yes. Never call them ‘comms’.

Nice. That’s my favourite colour!

So

1. Unenforceable
2. Inaccurate
3. Over-reaching
4. PII not protected

What’s wrong with it then? By the numbers, it seems everything is wrong with it.

When you go order something from Amazon, you’re using about 15-20 computers in a row; probably more. PROVE you have the right. Yes, the server farm you’re using to make an order is included, and it’s a lot of machines.

Who pays to make sure Ticketmaster server farm is ‘used’ by age-appropriate customers and the code to check that is installed and maintained? Why, you, of course. The order panel at the burger joint? You, eventually. Toll ticket at Airport Parking? You’re gonna love this. Guess what’s in your cable box? Guess how often you’ll have to have your face scanned just to turn on the TV? TV too. Fancy thermostat? There’s a computer Nesting in there. Scan that face, bucko; on the new unit you have to buy because, dude, that and your microwave just became e-waste.

The list is unending. The implementation is shit. The data leak has already been shown with … discord, right?

If your business is critical for modern human living, it should be non-profit. It should be guided by the best management plan of the time, debated and approved by the majority of shareholders. It should open its books and stay open.

Really, it should be government.

It’s monstrous, but gitlab installs from one big RPM on a base box; and with one config file you’re up.

For me it’s the apostrophes

Warm Bodies is an homage to the Shakespeare Cinematic Universe. Just, with zombies.

How old is the Shakespeare Cinematic Universe? Does it count if it started out live-action?

But…Crash was a pic everyone needed to have seen. Is OBaA the same?

Crash was a hard watch.

Nuh-uh. What about the matrix?

Shit. You’re right.

Mmorpg is like a weekly TV show but you get to control it. It’s very addictive.

The guy who wrote this is an idiot, but he became so in a world where “LoC” is a metric – one that Goodhart would love, but alas.

This is honestly the road to hell and the ~good intentions in one.

Yay! More places where devs will just say you can’t run their stuff.

I’m pretty sure I don’t need to use anything built by a company so preoccupied with my birthday.

… And based on usage, it’ll be run by a religious group. They consume the most porn, after all, and I bet this kind of bill is virtue-signaling or offloading of responsibility.

Thank you for not letting it slide.

Can we also work on mass nouns pluralized with an S (eg e-mail), missing delimiters after sub-clauses and lists (the “American Ghost comma”), and also “please bellow find following”?

most of the world have Android

Heck, most of the Known Universe. This is how I say it to my fanboy sibling who moves those goalposts just so only America is in-frame and the numbers show a small advantage for the Home Team.

It’s called the universal operating system for a reason.

If they call themselves that, it really doesn’t count. It’s like how trump ended like 10 wars to get his FIFA peace medal.

It’s just really not very good

So it’s a faithful homage to the ribbon mess, then. Yay!

looks like it hasn’t had any visual update at all since 2003

You’ve pointed out another great feature – no change-for-change’s-sake bullshit.

Document editing is a solved UX : except for occasional minor changes, there’s no need to fuck with the UI. Compare Tesla fucking with cabin controls in the cars and how the planet is going back to having the fucking knobs in the cars instead of in the design meetings.

This fails Hanlon’s.
