  • You’re right I am, but I do stand by it.

    Mine is simply a more specific example of the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” argument that has been repeated here many times.

    It was a reasonable to assume OP frequently purchases food

  • Have you tried growing up?

    No, seriously.

    You support more unethical bullshit buying avocados and meat than you do video games. To even give the issues you’ve mentioned as much attention as you have, while ignoring the much less ethical things you purchase far more often, shows how disingenuous and shallow your objection to those products really is, and it leads to more problems than it solves.

    For example, Balders Gate 3 is a pretty fantastic game, with no micro transactions or as far as I can see any other form of end user manipulation.

    They’re also one of the few studios I’ve seen recently that the devs dont seem burnt out on, which says a lot about how they were managed.

    And they just license the content from wizards, to go “oh they’re tangentially related so it’s evil!” (Which you also did with hogwarts legacy) denies all the hundreds and thousands of passionate developers of a chance.

    Indie games are a great alternative, true, but as others have said indies can be as toxic as the big companies when they want to be. Not to mention the long term consequences of that direction being developers can’t work together to make AAA games anymore, because according to your rules if a shithead makes it to the top everyone else’s work should be thrown away.

  • Curious how this push comes after fairly set standards that passwords can't be compelled

  • What a weird way to spell "intentionally designed to track everything you do"

  • exactly. They lost their warrant canary, but that in and of itself isn't reason enough to abandon the platform or believe it's compromised.

    And if legal warrants are your concern, you shouldn't be using a cloud solution at all tbh

  • Any ones that do or would are quickly removed from the company

  • Said the person using an online platform for free, without ads

  • Bipartisan public support.

    We have no idea what their plans are behind closed doors, or how they intent to kill the bill while looking righteously angry about it

    Never forget who these guys work for (not you)

  • Many that i'm sure docker works tirelessly to keep in there, to prevent podman from gaining market share

    hardly a point in docker's favor

  • docker shill confirmed

    At least now we know all that rent seeking money is going to good use!

  • This is why our org enforces Kubernetes and Helm

    Compose is simpler, and has a much easier base use case, but we've found it more functional as a dev tool to get the service running before making a full deployment config, rather than as an effective production solution.

  • conversely, switching now means he'll be learning domain specific knowledge for podman, the thing he wants to work in, and not building it in docker, the thing he's trying to move away from

  • I can't help but laugh at this.

    "learn how to use podman" from someone who already knows docker is their happy path.

    https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/index.html#what-is-podman

    Most users can simply alias Docker to Podman (alias docker=podman) without any problems

    Seriously, the only two problems i've had are:

    1. makefile doesn't honor the alias
    2. need to restart the VM occasionally
  • Be the change you want to see

  • ah, i didn't even know about intel's telemetry in ME

    I thought ME was cancer for the other reasons, damn. AMD FTW (until TLA's force them to do the same thing)

  • Why are we talking about Intel?

    It's microsoft that keeps releasing telemetry infested OS versions, and then forcing users onto their new shiny plague ships.

    this and this this are both widely available tools to try and shut that shit off, and they only sort of work.

    Now i know you wouldn't recommend windows, but that's the exact type of spying OP is asking about

    (That said, i don't doubt intel either already has or wants to implement telemetry as well)

  • Of course we know they do

    A good portion of it is laid out in their telemetry docs

    And it’s why removing telemetry is so damn difficult

  • The social credit score is mandatory, and what you watch on it is absolutely used to adjust your credit score.

    So no, i don't have a direct source that says "you must use this app or your credit score goes down", i have a reasonable informed idea that it probably does, based on china's current treatment of it's citizens.

    Why, do you happen to a single or any even tangentially related source pretending it doesn't?
