That’s been the oil company’s strategy constantly. Repress the technology as king as they can until it’s inevitable, and then all of a sudden their green and eco friendly

This isn’t that some architecture isn’t supported or there’s some new unseen dependency that failed, it’s a cert expiry. Something that happens millions of times per day and can be completely automated.

Welcome to the other side. Breathe the free air again

That’s all it is, which is why it’s so obvious they just want people to subscribe now. Very issue is the smallest thing they could do, and they can’t be bothered.

YouTube TV has this questionaire that says what brands have you heard of. It offers 4 brands and none of the above. However the Nimrods made it a checkbox instead of radio button. So of course every time I gladly fill out their survey. I say I’ve heard of all four and also none of the above. Anything to poison the data!

I see where you’re going, and I get it. Honestly, this question comes up a lot and would be great to have an FAQ. New accounts wondering why they can’t post horrific shit. I started nicer when I explained it, but it’s been so many times now, and the posters who do engage have always been insistent that they can’t possibly host their own stuff, that it’s the mean mods who refuse to host it for them. Its different here, when we are responsible, and I wish there was a unified way to explain that.

I’ve thought about it, but first no one would find it and then also those who read it are not those who would need to see it.

People who want to post more than likely illegal content and let others take the heat for it, and then get mad when they impose rules so they don’t go to prison. Let’s be clear, you want to start a cat community go for it, love it. You want to post illegal content that can get the server owner’s doors kicked down and hauled off to jail? Get outta here and host it yourself if you believe in it that much.

Essentially, if you aren’t willing to risk it yourself, don’t insist others risk themselves.

Hey sounds like there’s some optimization to the government that can be done right there…

Very accurate, why only make boat money when we could make megataght money at the expense se of our customers and reputation?

Sorry I was with you, but I take issue with the work an extra hour to meet a deadline. I did that just this week even.

We have a deadline, we had time for us allto get it done, but one member was doing things his own pace. That’s okay, but he needs it done by this date. I start checking in more and more regularly, he says it’s fine and he’ll get it done. Well it is Friday and it’s due Monday, and he says that he guessed it was harder than it was, and he didn’t have crucial component done. To which I said I’m sorry to do this, but it’s due Monday, let me know how I can help but sounds like you’ll need to work over the weekend.

I’m huge on work life balance, but if you’re slacking at work and dragging down everyone else, damn right I’ll ask you to work late. I’m not a manager so I can’t do reviews, but as a lead it is my job to make sure things get done on time, and if I don’t push one person, the the whole team is at risk when layoff season comes around

Yeah, as a developer who wants to not be homeless, I’ve had to take my fair share of dubious roles that I felt didn’t add anything to humanity. I’ve been disillusioned from college where I thought my tech would help people and humanity, I know what I do.

But, I can be proud that I turned down Meta. I was desperate for a job, and I got to the offer stage. It was a tempting offer, but luckily another job rolled in. Less money, but I knew it was a moment for me. Maybe my code has been less than moral, but at least I know I can draw a hard line there.

Fun fact, I asked about work life balance and the recruiter happily told me “oh it’s great! We have onsite laundry and sleeping pods, and the cafeteria is open all the time!” Great, hard pass. Sounds like something college senior would be excited about. Me, I want to go home to my big bed with my spouse.

That was just woke and political posturing. This is political posturing and not whatever wokes definition of the week is

Only correct answer. Where to host? That’s the fun thing OP, YOU get to host it. Just register your name, address, phone, and credit card with a hosting provider and they’ll set you right up, you can host all the gore you want.

Unless you just expect some other person to host your content, but that wouldn’t be very fair, would it?

You’re having issues with your gender identity? Well let’s see what Jesus has to day about it

Never thought we’d be rooting on Big Porn to help save integrity of the internet, but I’m all for it. They brought us HD, 4K, VR, now let’s go save the rest.

I feel you and that’s where I worked actually for my short time there. In reality, the hotel and third party systems are both ancient. Sure they get rewritten, and things get upgraded, but it moves at a glacial pace because anytime an update happens everyone needs to sign off on it. Even the “API”, last I worked there, was still SOAP if I remember correctly, and while we did our best to make sure what you were booking was correct, we were beholden to the ancient infrastructure below. So it’s not malice, but it is rather hundreds of small tiny issues that propagate and bubble, each of which usually require everyone agreeing on the implementation change, and all result in the customer being pissed at the front desk.

Long story short, when you add a middleman there’s an entire layer of complexity added, and so I recommend skipping that added complexity and booking with the hotel.

That would be the point of the article, yes.

Microsoft doesn’t know how to make software anymore. That’s not an anti-AI thing, or even an anti-microsoft thing, they just truly don’t know.

It’s not a tech company anymore. The people in charge aren’t nerds, they aren’t coders, their business people now. The org is so large and cumbersome that the left hand never knows what the right is doing. How can they possibly make software when you have to go through 42 teams for even the smallest feature request, miles of red tape, approvals, legal, everything. Small startups can build better things because they don’t have all the stupid bureaucracy of big tech, and Microsoft just keeps adding more. “Maybe even more overhead will get us operational!” It’s no wonder to me they’re falling behind, they don’t know how to make things anymore.

I feel like everyone thinks those sites are really great until they get burned badly.

Correct, as I said I worked there. However not going through them also closes you off to massive amounts of business. The alternative is that those rooms go empty and nobody stays there costing the hotels massive amounts of money. Some money is better than none.
