This sounds like the family basically has given an ‘okay’ to the authorities doing whatever to him, however illegal it may be.
Can’t say I’m surprised, my family is similar. Not as well off financially, but similar.
Pretending like you care about the guy… how rotten can these people be.
Technicians (not limited to people working with computers) always have it hard when they work purely in support capacity. This is like draining then fir everything they’ve got and looking for an opportunity to beat them down further so they stay in their abused state.
Once EVs become the main type of vehicles sold, sellers will lower quality to ‘encourage’ you to replace them more often.
Every industry starts off like this and ends off like that.
Of course. Really it is the opposite of ‘better’
Selling your soul for coin is real easy. No sympathy for this person in particular, this person didn’t even suffer for the evil deeds done.
Do you know how much of a scumbag you have to be to attack a hospital.
They’re quite proud of their actions rather, I imagine. And I do not doubt they proudly make it a matter of morality in some or another way.
Bolster the defenses, make it harder for the malicious.
Big corporations cannot survive in a real free market. For that very reason real free markets do not exist. So the ‘legitimate businesses’ which do not do things as well as others do can survive.
As horrible as it sounds, no regulation is what makes a free market. But there is no free market because when there is talk of free market, it just means extreme regulation to stifle small, extremely small business. These businesses run by people who work with their own hands are what give the large ones a run for their money. They’re the real obstacle to large entities which do things in not the best way (so almost all of them). What people are left with are legitimate small businesses allowed under regulation after everything has been restricted already… and with the methods these follow, they’re no harm to the big entities. The common human be damned, they’re forced to choose from the least bad option for anything.
‘Free market’ in politics is a joke, an intentional joke. It wouldn’t be a little bit surprising if the ones who advocate for free markets most have a laugh, outside of public view, at people who actually believe their points.
To be fair… real free market would see the crashing of many industries as things go back to being a bit more practical. A slow process which takes even luxury to be affordable—but the meaning of luxury changes. Things inessential for survival would then be deemed luxury and such things, good things which are also very accessible, would be fairly common around. The main flaw with that, however, is the purpose of luxury. Luxury is hardly used to refer to things merely inessential for survival, they’re considered mere vehicles of showing your status and power (even though a relatively simple trick would be to not pay no heed to them). They are objects to enable one’s pride, ‘pride comes before the fall’ be damned to them. One can have solace in the thought that the fall really does come, though.
Note: I do not support deregulation, it just means to allow big corporations to fuck around at the cost of other humans. But then, I do not really support anything.
Letting natural consequence play its part is better than accidentally making things worse. And doing things right the first time, in a skilled and quick manner, is better than letting a mess remain as it is.
Seems to me like they do not know how to make a good oven.
It is an odd choice to argue over such a thing. No one was harmed in the making of the first comment. Or the second. If anything, that person is being completely reasonable instead of demanding what others should do.
Whoever thought this was a good idea? What do they do if there are server problems or, just so happens, their internet service providers are having trouble giving service?
Audiobook narration iirc
I recognise this writer, but from the very successful videogames he has programmed and designed.
I like good stories as well so I might start taking a look at his books.
The comment section on this article is a little bit of hell.
Also, I get that this is part of Microsoft’s duties for its own OS security. But the role it has seems to be a bit too large. Currently it seems, even though it is seemingly working for the benefit of Ukraine in the conflict, that they could choose to aid Russia at any time. I don’t think I like them having such capacity. Being able to interfere in such events in such a drastic degree, if they choose to. Interference in politics in such a direct manner, even if aid with ‘intelligence’ is one of their offerings, cannot really be removed from their capability here. These are basics of state… just what are modern politicians doing. I’d say it is not so much the governments in specific places (like the US) running their regions anymore.
