May as well claim torrenting is used for downloading Linux isos so its not a piracy problem.
- lambda_obrien 6y agoWell, i personally always use the torrent when i download an iso... But I also have gtm black holed.
- harry8 6y ago>May as well claim torrenting is used for downloading Linux isos so its not a piracy problem. May as well claim the internet is used for something other than piracy so it's not a piracy problem. See how silly that is?
- waheoo 6y agoNo because you're using the reverse of my example to make my example look silly but infact you just prove my point. May as well claim it's silly to not try to prove negatives.
- harry8 6y agoA) Here is a computer communication protocol that can be used for many things. One of those things is infringing copyright. B) Here is another computer communication protocol that can be used for many things. One of those things is infringing copyright. The internet, being the IP protocol and the bit torrent protocol built on top of IP each are described above. Differentiate A from B identifying which is IP and which is Bit torrent. This demonstrates the silliness of the argument made. You either have principles and rules applied equally or you don't. I'm very, very much for the former. Being a an utterly essential foundation of functioning democracy, the rule of law and opposition to the tyranny of government by whim.
- davb 6y agoUnfortunately it is indeed used for non-ad scripts. For example, Hearthstone on iOS fails to render the login page if GTM is blocked at DNS.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 6y agoIndeed, one perspective on using GTM is as another avenue to customizing websites without using a developer.
- quicklime 6y agoYep, that's exactly what a tag manager is. It lets the marketing department make changes, without the IT department getting involved and slowing things down with non-money-generating activities like code reviews or testing. It's used to add tracking and advertising. But I've also seen it used for chat bots and chat agents. I've even seen it used for bug fixes that designers wanted to get out the door quickly.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 6y agoPrecisely
- waheoo 6y agoI'm sorry, you lost me, where is the problem here?
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 6y agoThe problem that he seems to be alluding to is that general problem of WYSIWYG cp. bespoke software - in particular, when tools like GTM are used in a way that adds to requirements cruft and detracts from software reliability.
- LocalH 6y agoMay as well claim air is breathed by non-pirates as well so it's not a piracy problem.
