That would also work for cancer then, wouldn't it? Since the mutated cells hide from the immune system you can mark a few to get the immune system to take a look and realize that shit is happening, or am I oversimplifying too much?

Dito. I would want to deal with technical problems, not social ones. If people start to fight over social norms in my technical community, I would advise them to take that elsewhere. (Of course same if people behave like assholes.)

Then again I wouldn't create a fucking discord "server" for a technical topic in the first place.

Elsevier is probably the worst of them. When even authors want to stay away from a publisher due to their behavior, that means something.

It's so obviously illegal that the best course of action is to try to get others to voluntarily stop using it? Ah yes.

I would be fine with it, if they were not allowed any other incomes during the time they get payed by the people.

Oh and of course they should be forced to do their jobs. If they don't fully attend sessions, cut their pay.

Stakeholder meeting: "We make lots of profit. It was the best fiscal year ever!"

Internal employee comms: "Sorry, we missed our goals this year. Therefore we don't hand out bonus payments."

That rule also exists.

In general if you are the one to turn/leave your lane, you have to yield to everyone you would somehow cross. Also pedestrians, cyclists, etc. Which IMO also makes sense, since the one who turns knows that he will turn and can monitor his surroundings more closely than every other one affected.

Now what you spoke of earlier: if a crossing has no signs whatsoever, the rule is that you always yield to the one coming from your right. So unless there's someone on all four streets that lead to the crossing, it resolves itself. Otherwise one of them has to give up their right and let someone else throughs. The rule I mentioned before has still precedence.

Then again, the people in all countries pay for the lifestyle of the politicians... in addition to the bribes they get for deciding in favor of whichever corporate and/or rich person needs a specific law passed or vetoed.

At least the monarchs do what you pay them for .... entertain you.

I pirate what I can't get by reasonable means within my boundaries.

I pay for three streaming providers constantly. If the one series I want to watch is on a fourth provider, they can fuck off and I'll just download it. Same if the offering gets moved out of a provider I use (because their license expired or whatever).

Games I typically don't pirate, since Steam is just too damn convenient. Epic Exclusives though... well, if possible I just avoid them.

Most books can be bought via Kindle store so that's also convenient and I just do that.

Music is basically close to equal on all streaming providers so I am mostly good with that. If something isn't I either buy them on beatport or just rip them off youtube (so pirate).

I basically live GabeN's theory: piracy is a service problem. Give to me without having to bend over and I gladly pay. Try to fuck with me and I shrug my shoulders and go elsewhere.

Many security experts I know consider AV software to be snake oil. I do so too. They are so complex and need so far reaching permissions to be somewhat effective, that they become the attack vector and/or a large risk factor for faulty behavior.

Add in lots of false positives and it just numbs the users to the alerts.

Nothing beats educating users and making sure the software in use isn't braindead. For example Microsoft programs that hide file extensions by default is a far bigger security problem than a missing AV tool. Or word processors that allow embedded scripts that can perform shit outside the application. The list goes on ...

Also updates were typically incremental to save bandwith. So not only do you need "the update", you may need a cascade of updates you need to download and install, in order.

Maybe they got pranked by someone who suggested the idea.

Happy to help.

Replacing a python service (searxng) by one written in rust? Count me in.

He's named "Hunter" for a reason, no?

Is it much different from other savory food that comes with a sweet side dish? Just as cranberry fits to venison, the taste of pineapple fits the ham those pizze typically are covered with.

You get downvoted a lot, but I understand you, I think.

I don't have the need to see people, and it feels extremely comfortable to just stay home and save the time it takes to and from the office (and the food is cheaper around home).

But days I am in the office or at company events are also very satisfying and I basically overcompensate by talking to people all day. It completely drains my energy and I don't need any other interaction in the evening. Still I like it. So I somewhat miss the in-office work, but also not.

Seems to be bigger and heavier: https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=11104&idPhone2=10893

But if you consider that both are drunk, it gets even more complicated. Sure, you can't rely on the consent of a drunk person. But if you are also drunk, you can't even rely on your own judgement of the situation... and you likely are not aware of that.

Did they at least get physical?
