Security is hard. Especially at the scale of those companies. Since they are big, they get a lot more hacking attempts. Makes more sense for bad actors to attack someone with millions of customers than your mom & pop store that might have hundreds, if everything being equal.
More and more people and compa ies wants to store things “in the cloud”, (read: someone else’s server). It is for the most part a good thing as it makes it easier to access, but it also opens up bigger and other attack vectors.
So, I think the number of breeches will only increase. Not always because the companies have bad security (though sometimes it is 100% that), but also because the attack vectors keep growing due to changed business decisions and user preferences.
The problem is that it is almost always just one lf them. Let’s say that v0.20 is called “Fuck Spez” and v0.21 is called “YouKnowWhatFuckMuskToo”.
Most people are going to refer to them by either the number or the name, almost never are both used. The biggest problem with names is that they are rarely sortable (google did it with android, for a bit but not anymore), so in the future it is hard to know which is which without resorting to looking at a list of releases.
For example, in the future when we are on v0.30 someone might say “ah, but this has been an issue since “Fuck Spez”.” And then most likely you have to look it up to know what they are talking about. If we coulld force everyone to alwaya write “version “Fuck Spez” (v0.20)” then it would be great, but that never happens.
I personally prefer just semantic versioning for this reason.
The original idea was to take back control of our money from greedy and corrupt banks and politicians. Very very very few people use it as that now though. Most just see it as a get rich quick scheme.
As we are in the privacy sublemmy: All of the privacy issues have already been solved, those that keep saying that it is a log of everyone you ever paid kept forever have no idea what they are talking about. Just simple thing like that you should (almost) never use an address twice removes a lot of the privacy concerns. There are also other ways to obfuscate and stay anonymous.
I got super tired of google a few months ago. “Ah, you searched for these terms. But I am going to ignore that and instead show you results for these diffetent ones, because fu.”
So I started using bing instead, I wouldn’t say it is worse. Just differently bad. Some search things are much worse, some are much better.
Quite annoying how they keep pushing for “AI” all the time though, so might go back to google soon anyway.
For every year that passes Silicon Valley slides further and further from comedy to documentary.
Or maybe it is a feeble attempt to annoy people that sign up with foo+service@somewhere.com
and then sort it into different inboxes (of course you can filter on other things but + is built into gmail). You can also use it to see who sold your info when you get spam on that adress.
Some countries have different age restrictions for hetro and homosexual encounters too. Not to mention that in a lot of countries it just outright illegal, and everything not condeming it can be seen as encouraging it and hence illegal too.
We humans make some weird laws around sex.
I think it has the hallmarks of a classic hype cycle.

We are probably at around the peak of the hype cycle now. I am preparing the popcorns for when the next phase hits.
In some countries all forms of description of underage sexual activities are illegal. So the sentance “She was having sex” is perfectly legal, but add an age marker and it is illegal. “She was having sex on the day before her 18th birthday”.
It is hard to legislate around as there will always ve ways to avoid it and get around it. But all this just sounds like the normal hype => fear => hype => fear, etc cycle that all new tech goes through.
Factorio.
What do you mean, there are other games? No time for those. The factory must grow!
SSDs have a limited number of lifetime writes.
Yes, but in the real world it is not a concern. The number of writes you can do is so huge that you will never come even near it, and the speed boost from SSD far far outweighs it.
If you live in a city and have no backyard or similar, you should not be allowed to own a dog.
Like the old joke, “What do you call alternative medicine that works?” “Medicine!”
If some herb, plant or extract has a proven effect it will be adopted by real medicine, and all that is left in alternative medicine is the scams that do not work.
Well, we have detected those that have been detected. It is possible that there are some sleeper repos no one has detected yet.
But it is not really a problem or something bad with FOSS, just have to be careful when including and updating libraries, which you always have to be!
Yes, and it also pioneered many features we take for granted now. Like tabs, customizable interfacez etc.
But now it is just a reskinned Chrome.
There is a reason clickbait images and titles are used, they work. If they didn’t work, no one would use them.
Also if you don’t trust either of the ends, it doesn’t matter much if it is E2E.
That could be a workaround. Also maybe include a “edited” text or icon
No, the main point of standing desk is that whoever has one talks about them all day, every day. At least, that was my experience 10-15 years ago, which was the last time I spent in an office.
