this kind of stuff happens all the time across major companies with minimised support. sure your google account is likely to be there tomorrow but it's only a very good chance that it's not locked forever. i would be surprised if

Blaming only people is also incorrect, it's incredibly easy to see that once the cost of submission was low enough compared to the possible reward bounties would become unviable Ai just made the cost of entry very low by pushing it ont

yeah the thing about dev tools is that devs love writing them and your market is just devs

oof, that looks like absolute trash. i don't get why you want to use something less readable than css but to each their own i guess

honestly i think they got the low hanging fruit already. they're bumping up against the limits of what it can do and while it's impressive it's not spectacular

i tried wireguard and ended up giving up on it, too many isps just block it here or use some kind of tech that fucks with it and i have no idea why, i couldn't connect to my home network because it was blocked on whatever random wifi

yeah, i have a couple older machines and tried xfce and it wasn't really worth it memory wise, sure xfce is probably lighter but it's easily less than 100 meg difference

facebook literally obfuscates their UI to stop you turning off "features" they want to push on you it is a UI designed to be hard to use

I've worked in schools, we only have analogue clocks, phones are banned and I'm still constantly asked the time as they don't want to read them. Teaching them to do it is tough because it's incredibly uninteresting to th
