There is an assumption these people are making that I am not sure they are aware they are making. They are assuming the cost of running YouTube is increasing so the cost of YouTube premium needs to increase. Every public company is driven by maximizing share holder value, the goal is to extract as much money as possible from the user.

I am not going to shit on the man. His views and opinions about free software are worth knowing and understanding. I just would invite home to a dinner party or ask his opinion on any other topics.

I agree with most of Stallman’s views on proprietary code. However, the one time I met him in person I found him to be off putting. I am not going to get into details because this is the internet and I know how people are.

I have met Stallman, I don’t like Stallman, Stallman is right about most thing related software licensing.

Yet I only need an integer when using the imperial system, and I don’t have to repeat 3 into infinity.

When you can divide a meter evenly by 2, 3, 4, 6 we will talk. Until then take your crappy base 10 measurements and stefu!

I find people who try to stand out and play up their work insufferable. What I find more insufferable is that this works for getting ahead

These are my grandfather’s words not mine: no matter how much of an idiot your boss is, he is still your boss

I watched a Director level employee get let go during a round of layoffs because he caused to much trouble by fighting for his employees.

A corollary to your first one: if you take on extra work people will forget it is extra work when it’s not delivered on time or has issues. It does not matter how much the first three people fucked it up, you touched it last.

If I was the architect of the system that is how I would do it. However a high enough score could still be sufficient in this case. The system made an assertion that lead to damages even if the assertion was 60% match.

It’s not the woman it’s the police officer/department that would agree. So, if there is language saying the user knows and understands that the system is not accurate then it becomes harder to go after the developer.

There are 4 things that need to be true for a defamation case. The statement must be false. The statement must be presented in away a reasonable person would believe it. The statement must be published for at least one other person to see. The statement must cause harm

The hardest part will be the second condition. The software publisher probably has all kinds of disclaimers in their EULA to cover this one. It also depends on how the software presents the information to the user.

I am sure they are also seeing a growing demand for more privacy, the only reason own a pixel is because of GrapheneOS. If I could buy a phone with the OS pre installed I would, don’t know if they are going to do that. Also, by patterning with GrapheneOS they don’t has the development cost and they can trade on Graphenes name

I was sorely disappointed to learn that the site did contain titties

How would I go about finding a Flock camera?

Right now I suffer through SOX. I would like to be doing stuff with CMMC and NIST SP 800-171.

IT compliance regulations, even IT people’s eyes glaze over at the topic.

The IT Department knows about all the problems it’s the administration that does not care and won’t let the IT people do anything. Also, you don’t want to know how bad the procurement process is with most school systems.
