I’m curious why you’d consider it a good conversation if this was the result. Clearly it wasn’t for them.

They’re not behind the trilogy, they’re behind the shitty remasters of the trilogy.

Look, I’m satiated, I don’t need to discover new apps nor great content through Google Play. Most apps are trash and I’ve never bought content through Google Play.

Yeah, stupid, peddling fear mongering

Despite what others have mentioned, running a different LLM locally, it’s also possible to get ChatGPT to do this sort of stuff by telling it to participate in a “debate exercise” and giving it its talking points.

No, they’ll just see the management summary that Firefox occupies less than 0.5% of their users’ marketshare and prioritize their budget accordingly.

If you use a third-party analytics service such as Google Analytics, as almost all serious parties do (with their nice dashboards and reports), then you’ll notice Firefox is severely underrepresented because the request never reaches Google

Wonder why they wouldn’t use OSM.

Also, Firefox is in a tough situation where they have to purposefully shoot themselves in the foot, because their builtin tracking protection means Firefox usually doesn’t show up in a lot of browser usage stats.

In practice, CrowdStrike very likely tests Falcon on various hardware as parts of their tests before shipping updates on it, as it’s used by a huge amount of enterprises; and a fuckup like that would mess the trust they’ve built with those enterprises. Enterprises are trusting them to run ring 0 code on their computer, so they can have a malware-less experience after all.

This is good for Bitcoin

Please, enlighten me how you’d remotely service a few thousand Bitlocker-locked machines, that won’t boot far enough to get an internet connection, with non-tech-savvy users behind them. Pray tell what common “basic hygiene” practices would’ve helped, especially with Crowdstrike reportedly ignoring and bypassing the rollout policies set by their customers.

Not saying the rest of your post is wrong, but this stood out as easily glossed over.

Fuuuuuuck

I mean, it must be very difficult to checks notes host a static document in a scalable way.

But still, if only they had an asynchronous, distributed way of publishing this information. Like old school letters, only digital. That would help them decrease the load on their infrastructure…

At least one per week, in various ways. Websites that no longer exist, obscure media I want to study… It’s great!

You think they’re not doing both?

That is patently false. It was developed to help develop the Linux kernel, which famously has multiple decentralized repositories managed by different maintainers.

The fact that most companies use it in a way you describe, with only one central repository, does not mean that git is not distributed.

It’s alright. I use both their desktop backup service and B2 extensively. Their desktop client and web interface is very basic and a bit rough, you don’t buy their service for the well-developed UI. The service works as advertised though.

The headache comes up when multiple third party repositories start conflicting with each other

Which is traditionally why you needed the distro to package your software…

So, only passwords, right? Not associated with usernames?
