I agree, the support crew often is just part of a support loop of doom. No escalation paths. You have to have connections on twitter or reach out to corporate after failing to resolve the issue. Its designed to eat up your time while provid

Unfortunately, this is just par for the course. Running professional email servers in business is an ongoing exercise in extreme risk management. There are so many moving parts if you don't have systems in place you end up getting fall

I agree, this is a dark pattern that needs to be addressed. That and the other thing where they arbitrarily changing the bar colors from Orange to Red or something else. Its very manipulative, and serves no legal purpose as you haven't

This should be more appropriately labelled. Looked like historic account until you read a few lines and realize the absurdity. Some people don't have that kind of filter, as evidenced by all the conspiratorial stuff online these days.

Can't you disallow external links that will redirect to a dynamic error page? Things like HTTP Referrer, coupled with a set of rolling dynamic headers so actual site visitors aren't impacted, or significant rate limiting, or a sim

Seems to me like a misattribution of an underlying factor. Correlation also isn't causative, and its more likely that the process of digestion is what's causing the difficulties. It takes a lot of energy to digest stuff and that c

Not amoral, it was composed and communicated like a nation-state propaganda piece. Writing structure set up was a false dichotomic structure coupled with several of the more subtle tactics that play on psychological blind spots which are in

Birth rates in general have declined in that same timeframe... no conclusion can be drawn. Props on the expert level propaganda that went into that article though. You can't go a few lines without seeing some of the more subtle psychol

This is a cleverly framed false dichotomy akin to cancel culture only with the added twist of compulsion of speech. There's no debate here, its wrong, you strip voice, and that strips agency. There's nothing good about this, no co

Are you sure they were dumb? Maybe they were simply brain-damaged from exposure to various products that were certified as safe, but weren't. For some reason, that reminds me of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cr

Don't forget the heme. It has the heme, and 40 other things self certified as safe. https://1bps6437gg8c169i0y1drtgz-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-... If that link doesn't work, https://foe.org/wp-con

Looks like a propaganda piece for the food industry to me. Why is there nothing about the heme, and its 40 other by-product compounds that they self certified as safe instead of getting FDA approval as part of their bio-reactor process? You

Yeah it is, they are more big brother than Microsoft is. What's even worse, it happened in 2016 or 2017 (from memory) and had made quite a big splash in IT. They basically had an issue with a load balancer or manifest server not being

That is correct, Apple products check in with the mothership at each app launch and other important events. They have the ability to prevent applications from launching on a device you own in a targeted way. There was a SNAFU a few years ba

It is possible to remove parts of the system, but you have to know Linux fairly well to do it, its time consuming trial and error. I did it, but it was by no means a simple task, and there are still some areas I had trouble nailing down whe

There's a difference, as an individual you wouldn't own a large percentage of the local real estate, just a small part. Investors who buy up 40% of the market, blacklist tenants, and price fix to set a price floor or remove supply

Unfortunately that is often the case. The question that naturally comes to my mind is, shouldn't corporations who are acting on behalf of government be bound by the same rules as government.

I agree with the sentiment that you get what you pay for, but there is so much market fluff that most of the time true gems aren't recognized, and 90% of what you see, a true professional in that area would rank, hard down. That being

This was not a surprising outcome. Rossman lobbied for it for years and all he got for his trouble was a year long audit with potential fines in the six figures for a 0.11% error rate according to the accounting records, and then having to

I don't get why so many people like the ThinkPad X1 Carbon. They don't come with SODIMM slots, RAM is soldered directly to the board. If RAM goes bad, you have to do circuit level repair which requires a potential reball. The X1 E

That's what they would say, and anyone that's older than 12 would know people lie, and for corporations it a constant state of being. We live in a no trust world now where credibility is a thing of the past. There's a reason

Shadow banning doesn't work. Trolls will do the same regardless and they have multiple accounts to do it with. They also know that they can run a separate window in private mode to view their own posts for suspected shadow-banning, and

From what I heard, there have been a number of historians that aired concerns of factual issues pre-print who were ignored, and its marketed as a history book despite not being a history book. One of the goals of propaganda is to cause disu

by than3 4y ago
Well, all I'll say is, it is not surprising. Subversive content in general tends to get that reaction from intelligent people and that book is more rightly considered propaganda than actual history. If you understand what propaganda is
