Yeah, but we have cookie banners. Take that!

I agree with the spirit of this, but let's not kid ourselves, the women competing are complicit, as they should just quit until this is resolved. By taking part of these compromised competitions they are announcing that they are okay with it. So what's the issue? Should I care if they don't?

Your website's home page slows my entire computer down to a crawl.

This is way too common with some people as they get older. They refuse to learn how to use a computer, a phone, or they even refuse to read utility bills or bank statements and ask others to summarise them for them. On the other hand they don't have a problem learning what all the buttons do in their new fancy car.

I say fuck that.

I don't think I understand. A court orders you to block certain IP addresses: you have no options. If that block disallows access to unrelated pages there's nothing either the engineer or the boss can do. Should the engineer lose any sleep over this? Am I missing something?

It would be my boss or boss' boss ordering me to block the addresses, wouldn't it?

>The level of desperation the ISP’s engineers have felt in front of such incompetence must have been through the roof.

If I was an engineer there I would block the addresses and call it a day. What do I care? After all it's customer service who will deal with the angry calls.

IP address blocking may have been banned, but DPI to block domains based on SNI is alive and kickin'.

I've seen people talk about encrypted SNI for a very long time now and it's still not working; someone must have dropped the ball pretty hard regarding that

They'll tell you that as a human you have every right to use public space but as soon as you get inside a vehicle you turn into Hitler.

I can't think of anything that is more processed than fish sticks or chicken nuggets.

I thought they were the same dog. I guess they all kinda look the same, huh?

It's possible that they keep selling them because the issue was silently fixed with a hardware or firmware revision. And of course they don't reply because they know anything they say will be used against them in a lawsuit. These days with the short attention spans of people it's more intelligent to do nothing but wait until things blow over.

It's tremendously hidden. Of course it barely gets noticed.

There are so many hidden gems in accessibility settings, at this point it should be called advanced settings instead.

I use an Apple ID, of course. I need it to download stuff from the store. But I don't buy apps or music with it. If it gets banned I just create another; no harm done, no money or data lost. (Luckily that hasn't happened yet). You can do the same with Android.

>Now you want me to sign up with Microsoft. What's the logic in Microsoft? They never ban anyone? Nobody ever loses their account/email from Microsoft?

You seem to miss the entire point of this conversation.

All companies can ban you for no reason. Therefore you have to spread your data as widely as you can so that when it happens, you lose as little data as possible.

You don't need to increase your "support budget" for using more services. Keeping your mail in GMX instead of Gmail won't take you any more time.

I'm into the wow emu world and it really isn't. There are several forks of mangos and people still don't share their changes.

It's absurdly impractical to rent several houses to keep all your offline stuff - most people can not even afford it. On the other hand it's very easy to use several online services to keep all your online stuff.

The only apple I use is an iphone but I don't use any online apple services or any kind of cloud storage of any company for that matter. Even in my iphone I use yandex mail services and I use the local calendar and notes without sending my stuff over to icloud. I also use spotify instead of apple music. Unfortunately as you say I am forced to use ios and safari but it's not that important.

Regarding degoogling, there are lots of free services that do everything you want. How many free email, calendar and contacts providers are there? You can create a microsoft account and use some of their services too - they provide online office for free, and photo storage as well. No alternative to youtube but you can choose not to sign in when browsing videos and use RSS to subscribe to channels. And so on and so forth. "sign in with google" is an awful idea - if they ban your account you will lose not only your google account but accounts on other services as well.

You have an Android phone and a Chromebook but you can still use these third party services on them.

>Get a life and pick on someone else. Your mindless hate is transparent and pointless. People make choices in life, and we live with them. I hope you can respect mine a little more.

I'm not hating, it's a recommendation for your own good. If you don't take the recommendation I hope you never get to regret the decision.

>Also, look at yourselves a little bit. Have you got two ISPs? Two routers from different manufacturers? Plenty of mobile providers and a drawer full of SIMs? [...]

I wouldn't have the same corporation provide me with internet access, routers, mobile providers, browsers, OSes, utilities, and my freezer, that's for bloody sure. Each one of the things you mention is provided to me by a different company and that's the way I like it.

If I browse the wrong website and mozilla decides not to allow me to use firefox I don't have my water cut off or my freezer thawing my chicken breasts.

From what I can see, you dug yourself into a hole. If google decides to close your account, you will be in some real trouble. You should start working ASAP in diversifying your online life.

As an Apple client: good that they keep working on anti-theft measures. I hope they end up serialising every last bit of the phone.

It's not really insane, what's insane is Apple refusing to run 32-bit executables.

No one uses 3 digits to represent cents, so nobody is going to interpret this as a hundred dollars a day.

>Scheme may be a small island, but when it has an earthquake, it makes waves through the whole archipelago of programming languages.

It's more like people are addicted to drama. Following something like this when you don't use Scheme is like watching reality TV. It's human nature.

There's something I don't understand. He's been a drummer for 40 years now. How can he still be "not good"?

It's an Agenda 2030 propaganda piece.

...in multithread workloads.

Not a fair comparison because Tile products have a legitimate use case and the overwhelming majority of those who buy Tile products use them in a legal manner, just like knives.

It's also Victorinox's and Walmart's fault you got knifed.

It doesn't even need to evoke the idea of FOSS. Software that includes licence management with keys and such should not be called "free and open"

A fantasy novel with Tolkien's characters' names is an evident copyright violation regardless of how it was generated. That's not what's happening here.
