Same question - why aren't businesses responsible for maintaining enough security, with damages due for those whose information they misplace.

Was it a stupid question?

So I got a notice from Ticketmaster that my identity was accessed by an intruder and my name, contact info and /encrypted/ payment info was compromised. These notices are more and more common. Why aren't companies accountable for damages when they fail to protect all the myriad data they collect on people without consent? I never asked them to store these things..

Practice good hygiene and it'll be fine The trouble is that modern apps are forced to adopt features which depend on the new OS. Your old one will be incompatible, on purpose

The security aspect is secondary to the monetary growth and recuperation of investment in the new OS.

They spent all those monies to make it "AI" betting that you will eat it up and pay up. Now there will be significant pressure for them to "increase adoption" or someone gets fired

If it isn't meant for others to see, what's wrong with a .txt file you just add notes to?

Could Biden order Trump's execution and win the next election?

Raising this dead article as Microsoft now delivers extended support pricing details for those who choose not to migrate to the newer version of Windows. The one they were told they'd not ever have to migrate to

Same been running netdata for years. They're monetizing now where it used to just be free. Good for them, it's a great product. And it's foss

This perspective is really interesting to me

I have admit,I tend to agree. I make comments like "individual people are smart, but people at large.. they're idiots" it's the way I can rationalize how we're facing a rematch of Biden v Trump in the US the year.. And other things that defy reason

But in weighing the positives and the negatives of the totality of our impact - how many good small acts does it take to overcome a Khmer Rouge? What about when those loving families are torn apart by religion, patriotism, morality etc and the angels fight? Conflict, like death and taxes, seems undeniable - maturity, much less so

I agree that existence is truly a wonder.

Yet I don't see how everything else being great around us means we're so great for just seeing it all.. I'd ask, a net positive to what group? Our own, of course, because we procreate. But.. at what cost? Does the cow share your zeal for humanity, you know

Is the point of existence merely for wonders to be observed?

He said to Neo that humans are like a virus, breeding and infecting the world with our "stick" and general disgustingness.

I look around the world, at the state of society, the environment, international conflict and the enshitification of humanity - I've gone through my life blindly accepting that life for life's sake is beautiful, and worth it.

But as I see the state of it all, our perpetual need to destroy each other over ideas and resources, I struggle to come to grips with it. Societies around the world are facing population shrinkage... Do they all know something I don't?

Is human life beautiful, and objectively worth perpetuating? Or are we a blight? Why should we be?
