Oooohh nooo look, that guy walking by just stole my Wifi name and Bluetooth information, how scary 👻! /S

So an Android or iOS phone?

So they’re phones that people hold slightly more vertically?

How is it fundamentally flawed?

It’s a company with no morals, but the product isn’t stupid, and neither is the way the company operates or the people who run it.

Don’t underestimate your adversary.

How are smart glasses evil?

No, he said that when the audio command came over the speakers, it triggered the smart glasses of everyone in the auditorium.

Yup. The most satisfying beauty is found in nature.

Yes, and pizza with real crust reheats fine in any oven.

I seriously doubt it’s the most common pizza sold.

It’s thin crust nature makes it economical for selling hot slices, but horrible for delivery and for reheating.

I personally consider New York pizza to be A tier; S tier I reserve for pizza with a slightly thicker, slightly sour, focaccia-like crust, and regardless, the baseline should be B-Tier.

I feel like this graph needs a line that indicates your baseline normal pizza

I assume this suggestion will get me torched for reasons I don’t understand, but why not a multi-paradigm language like JavaScript/Typescript, or C#?

Why are you even on here if it hasn’t?

They didn’t care about this system. It just got caught up in their news sources.

This isn’t funny, it’s just a thing that happened.

So it’s funny because the fediverse is so niche that no one designing automated copyright systems care about its odd and unique addressing system?

This is honestly a dumb post. It doesn’t say anything about “Microsoft” understanding or not understanding anything.

It just shows them using an automated system to try and take down an account that they think is infringing on their trademark. There are legal protections for parody accounts, but they are not absolute and it’s possible that Microsoft could get a court order compelling the owner to cease control of the account.

It seems a reasonable guess that a person whose hobby is building custom mechanical keyboards probably does keep it clean. I figured people using an encrypted messaging system with backups enabled would probably go to the trouble of ensuring those backups didn’t live in one place.

The point is that encrypted messaging is not a hobby for anyone but Moxie Marlinspike. It’s just a tool that people use for communication. WhatsApp and iMessage are both encrypted and have relatively seamless backup solutions and do not require any extra thought or effort.

Are people not copying their backup off their device periodically?

Do you change your air filter, clean your keyboard, floss your teeth, derust your tools, organize your files, respond to all your messages, keep on top of available tax breaks and deals, dust under your bed etc?

No one does every random maintenance task as often as they should meaning that everyone is letting some slip occasionally which means you should expect that no, not everyone is periodically backing up and transferring their DMs to a different device.

I think it depends a lot on the specifics of the situation.

Did you buy a single family home / house that you’re living in, and renting out part of to help pay your mortgage? Then it depends on the rent you charge.

If you charge market rates and you can afford to charge less than market rates, or if you hire contractors and maintenance people for the unit that are cheaper / worse than the ones you use for your own unit, then yes, you are being exploitative and hypocritical.

If, however, you treat the unit like your own and charge below market rates then no, you’re not.

If you build an addition on your house, or build a laneway house or something, then it’s more reasonable to charge market rates for rent because you’ve actually added new housing to the area, an act that in itself should help to slightly drop rents. Same thing if you buy vacant property and build rental units on it. However, if you continue charging the most you possibly can long after you’ve made your money back then you’re back into the territory of being an exploitative hypocrite.

And if you’re just in a hot market and buying up houses / condos, and renting them back to people as is, or just doing the cheapest and shittiest job you can turning them into apartments, then yes you are being a hypocrite. At that point you’re just using your capital to buy up a limited quantity item and sell it back to people at exploitative rates. It would be like being stranded in the desert and buying up the remaining water and then selling it back to people for a profit. You’re providing no value to society, just using past success to force people into a corner where they have to pay you for a necessity that’s in limited supply.

I honestly cannot fathom why people buy body wash… Shampoo is basically the same thing.
