- mistrial9 10mo agowhat social effect does this have if personal screen silos are Business As Usual while social interaction is halted?
- reaperducer 10mo agohow do you get from no school/work/shopping to no websites/servers? Servers perform work. For people. My oven (KitchenAid) is a machine, yet has a setting that makes it non-functional during certain religious events that require people not to work. Similarly, B&H Photo's web site won't take orders on the Sabbath. They'd rather take the revenue hit than violate their principles. A foreign notion to the tech industry.
- llbbdd 10mo agoChick-fil-A too, has this principle. I'd rather have no principles than stupid ones.
- herewulf 10mo agoYour oven doesn't work on Sundays? That ranks high among the stupidest things I've ever heard. So, how do you get around that? Constantly messing with the clock?
- pseudalopex 10mo agoThey said it was a setting.
- embedding-shape 10mo agoNo, I was clarifying because another commentator seemed to misunderstood that this shutdown was specifically about the EFF and potentially about their website, so probably others could have read it the same way too.
