Why is it bad that a company continues to provide services for customers and income for employees?

they commited the worst crime of all time! not using Ai to backup your files!

Someone I know said "software is made of decisions". <https://siderea.dreamwidth.org/1219758.html> Seems very applicable here.

You can also see a recent comment of theirs saying they "don't look at code any more" but in this comment they say they "still require a code review" for changes.

Pretty sus, bot or otherwise.

Doubles the reaction.

There are tons of hosts! Personally, I love Fastmail.

Haha, nice.

One correction: The link in "To be honest, I'm not even sure if I understand it, but it's on my GitHub." goes to the wrong file (01 instead of 00).

I don't have one either. No plans to get one, even with this.

I envy you. Before I degoogled my life, I tried going all in to no smart phone. It didn't last very long. I still would like to get there, but considering how difficult and slow it was just to degoogle, I anticipate that it may be a long time before I can operate without a smart phone.

The main thing that makes me think about getting a smartphone is navigation. But I never lost the skill of "looking up/writing down directions before you go" so it's not too bad.

(My phone is technically Android, but really old, not a touchscreen, you can't install apps, and most websites don't work in it, so... basically a dumb phone. But I did write a map web page that works in my very specific situation: https://lab.brainonfire.net/classicmap/ But mostly I just look up directions first and pay attention to signs, and the web page is a fallback that's nice to have.)

No cell phone period or no smart phone? I'm not sure how people manage the former. Do you have a home with a land line? What do you do when you travel?

Ah, I have a cell phone, not a smartphone. (Didn't notice that the parent comment referred to both.)

That was intended as a warning, not an aspiration. Some people misunderstood.

No, it was always meant as a good thing and was usually said in the context of censorship, which copyright is really just a form of.

Some people meant it as a good thing.

On Slashdot it was always a good thing. Remember slashdot?

I mean, if your choices are "propped up somewhat by Google" and "literally run by literally Google"...

Because it's huge and people were counting on having that disk space.

4gb? Maybe on a raspberry pie it’s a problem - I’m sure there is a chrome flag to disable

Come off it. People legitimately have limited drive space.
