The court order, which was previously reported by TorrentFreak, was issued by Judge Michael Watson in US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. “Plaintiff has established that Defendant crashed its website, slowed it, and damaged the servers, and Defendant admitted to the same by way of default,” the ruling said.

US court. Where is Anna’s Archive located?

Because with the state of America right now, every country should be giving the US Courts the finger. We’re pretty much a rogue nation now.

People don’t realize how difficult it is.

Not only do you have to do a lot of feature replacement (getting off of teams and using zulip and jitsi. Getting off of outlook and using Zimbra. Using next cloud over whatever the hell Microsoft’s version is)…

You also have to deal with all the Microsoft chucklefuck IT people who never touched a command line before. The push back I had in previous companies is lazy IT folks who don’t want to learn anything their Microsoft certification didn’t teach them.

Silly question. Is Reddit still banning comments that say Lemmy?

I don’t have an account.

I don’t think we played the game because Anthem was boring. I enjoyed being Iron Man but after an hour. But after that, it was kinda same ol’ for the next few hours.

I had more fun with Suicide Squad, because the city was awesome and the story was at least passable.

I did like the first hour - no question. But I think Anthem needed to cook some more. A lot more.

Agreed!

NMS kept listening to feedback for years before it turned around, slowly building up good faith with each free release.

But let’s say Anthem Next magically turned it around. All that good faith will be gone when EA will try to shoehorn more looter shooter microtransaction BS and fuck everything up over and over again.

Yep! My windows 10 is not hooked up to a real Microsoft account. It tries to force me to create an account every few months, which I laugh at.

I made the mistake a few years ago on my win 10 gaming tower and creating an account to play Xbox live, and suddenly, I was getting that garbage one drive shit.

Dropbox has a policy about two years ago that all of your data will be shared with AI, no opt-outs.

I immediately cancelled my plan and dropped to the free service, which I use to backup photos of my poop.

Because it’s easier for these psychopaths to believe that there’s a cage of children in some random pizza restaurant basement rather than believe a billionaire has a group of children in their mcmansions.

Asbestos. Lead. Microplastics.

They’re not to blame directly, but they’re letting their shit thoughts run wild.

I was contributing to SO in 2014-2017 when my job wanted our engineers to be more “visible” online.

I was in the top 3% and it made me realize how incredibly small the community was. I was probably answering like 5 questions a week. It wasn’t hard. For some perspective, I’m making like 4-5 posts on Lemmy A DAY.

What made me really pissed was how often a new person would give a really good answer, then some top 1% chucklefuck would literally take that answer, rewrite it, and then have it appear as the top answer. And that happened to me constantly. But again, I didn’t care since I’m just doing this to show my company I’m a “good lil engineer”.

I stopped participating because of how they treated new users. And around 2020(?), SO made a pledge to be not so douchy and actually allow new users to ask questions. But that 1% chucklefuck crew was still allowed to wave their dicks around and stomp on people’s answers. So yeah, less “Duplicate questions”, more “This has been answered already [link to their own answer that they stole]”.

So they removed the toxic attitude with asking questions, but not the toxicity when answering. SO still had the most sweaty people control responses, including editing/deleting them. And you can’t grow a community like that.

Sorry, stupid question because I don’t pay attention to embedded hardware stuff. Not at all trying to be offensive or start anything. I really am ignorant.

In the software space, many FOSS run for-profit to keep the open-source version funded.

What’s different in this situation?

I was there and I went from not knowing anything about U2 to absolutely hating it all.

Until I expanded my music tastes, I only had rap and hip-hop in my playlist. And suddenly this Bono guy just shows up? 🤬

Their most idiotic name ever was whatever the Xbox branding bullshit was. It was so bad, customers didn’t know which one to buy.

Soon to be Walmart “People keep stealing out etags because I told homeless people they have rare metals inside, oops”.

Odd how Costco, which pays people well and takes care of their employees so much that people proudly share how long they’ve worked there on their name tag, doesn’t suffer from this problem.

Don’t forget science and scientology!

One time I pissed off a bunch of people because they wanted to create a community where food is shared and work is divided.

I said, “Oh that’s a commune!” And they all nodded proudly.

Then I said, “Which is the foundation of communism.”

And they immediately started flipping the fuck out because people get triggered by that.

I expect the comments below to be the same.

Which is kinda my favorite thing to do as of late, and what I prefer AI be used for.

I’m not taking about building a suite of black box tools. But tiny scripts to scrape, shape, and generate reports. Things I used to pull in a dozen node libraries to do and manually configure and patch up.

You know, busy work.
