Probably there are many places with no specific provisions against that but surely that would count for authorities as some sort of disruption of traffic, which are intentionally vaguely defined to cover such ambiguous eventualities.
Amazing how every single part of your comment is so wrong.
It's actually a really good analogy,
Not an analogy, an example. Those two are different things.
because it can only run on
No, it can run on many things, including open source collaborative hardware that exists.
fully-capitalist hardware.
What the hell even is that? Fun fact: until very recently most of the computer hardware was made in communist China. I know, scary. And now that a lot of effort is being made to get that production out of there, those efforts are being sponsored by public money to an incredible degree. Billions of dollars of taxes (you know, community resources) are being poured into that because big corporations are the biggest lovers of government handouts.
Probably not what he meant, but it has happened twice now to me that I wear shoes that had been stored for a year without use, but in good condition. After I used them for half an hour or an hour, the rubber sole crumbles literally in little pieces.
that would be great of course but you know who's very ready to double down and lose billions instead of saying 'uhmm you know what I think I was wrong and I need to correct course'?
not directly making money but they can keep creditors at bay by showing not so ugly MAU numbers
i'm not gonna say to anybody that they should stop using twitter right now or they are morally evil, but I would say to everyone that it would be so funny that banks took twitter from him if things declined too much
Been using it for a couple of years now I think. Haven't seen a reason not to like it.
There's a thread in GitHub where the privacyguides.org guys discussed some flaws in the encryption but that was at the very beginning, I remember reading those have been solved apparently.
Pricing, well, it seems cheap but honestly I think it's just because we are used to seeing outrageous prices for ridiculously small amounts of storage. Thinking about it, 30 eur for 100gb is not cheap at all, like some other comment says when compared to physical drive prices. Plus, offering lifetime is a common marketing technique to attract customers used by small or starting businesses. I don't know if that is the case here but it certainly isn't an automatic red flag for me. I don't know if they are gonna be around next year or 5 years from now, but I'm willing to take the risk. They claim to have lots of users and be cash flow sustainable, plus they keep developing and are getting into business features to attract that kind of customers, certainly doesn't look like a business on life support to me.
App and code-wise, they are much better than they were a year ago. Android app is still a bit janky sometimes but I don't use it a lot so I got not much to say, other than I can see my files and upload something small once in a while just fine. The desktop client is amazing, the best functioning client for Linux that I have used from any service, or from the few services that have a Linux client at least. The clients are open source and since the service is e2ee you don't really need to see the server code if the client encryption is done correctly, which apparently there is no sign that it isn't, as mentioned before.
Overall I would say you can use it, but keep a backup somewhere else just in case, which is just the thing that anyone should be doing anyways.
Well at least I'm gonna get to see it since now the vaccine will kill everyone who took it 'within 10 years' instead of 2 as it was originally predicted.
I've seen that before and the 3 hours without shelter always cracks me up. Someone really needs to come up with a suitable replacement for the 3 hours part.
The tragedy of edge is that it is technically a fantastic browser for windows but made by Microsoft.
Just thinking about the engineers that built such great memory management and security features that no other browser has just to have the marketing guy come in and say 'yeah put these three layers of bloat on top oh and don't forget to add the new backdoor we need...' only to see that all their work is basically a tech meme...
I guess they must get home and cry while hugging their stock options and 300k/y contract the poor guys...
Let this be the regular reminder that any time that a gigantic for profit corporation seems to be doing the right thing it's a mere coincidence and they are following their bottom line. The moment those two depart, they will look after their bottom line right thing be damned. There are no moral corporations.
Maybe those good things they do while are convenient to them are moral and bring real benefits and can be followed and celebrated, but ultimately they are a convenient mask to trick customers. So don't ever be loyal to a brand, be loyal to principles.
Thanks for the useless assumption, but I already figured out that when seeing in mobile the bullet points loaded text from a previous version of the article when it was '250'. It can be seen in the archive.

Yeah I've also been having issues with fedora and been thinking of switching to Arch... Looking forward to it
