The only thing we know without a proof is that they might be doing it. We don’t have a proof they do it but we also don’t have any proof they are incapable of doing so. A reasonable course of action would be to take precautions against it while not condemning them either, until they are either proven actually guilty or actively unwilling to up their security, which would also strongly imply the former.
Until it’s proven the data is E2E encrypted, it’s a fair assumption it can be read by a 3rd party, either now or in the future. E2EE is the only proof that matters, everything else is just a corporate “trust me bro”.
Making quality tools due to long-standing processes is definitely a different breed of tradition than oppressing minorities because they don’t fit someone’s “traditional” worldview.
To better illustrate my first post: The Victorinox craft isn’t high quality because it’s a tradition. It became a tradition because it’s high quality. If we subtract it being a tradition, we still have a reason to keep making it this way. The same cannot be said about oppressing people, unless one literally views human suffering as value added.
I think there is some confusion between tradition and well-tested processes. I’d hardly consider creating quality products a tradition.
If he’s being a putin stooge because it’s good for his business, he’s still being a putin stooge.
If you’re asking about a personal opinion: any policy purely based on tradition is worthless. Tradition is just peer pressure from dead people. Just like any peer pressure, it’s highly unlikely to produce anything but grief. If something is based purely on tradition without any other reason to exist, it’s unlikely to be an optimal policy.
Back to the initial question. I don’t think we can get infinitely progressive but we can keep subtracting the cruft of tradition until there is no necromantic peer pressure left at all. Mind that if something happens to be a tradition but still has a good reason to exist, it should be evaluated like any other idea in terms of being good or bad. I mean removing just one of the reasons to keep this idea. If it is left with zero reasons, it’s out. Otherwise it’s fair game.
I guess this is one area that AI can actually improve in our lives: https://www.summarize.tech/youtube.com/watch?v=jzQS9MmlEy8
If you’re okay with paying for it, Kagi is great and respects the user privacy.
Can you summarize their reaction to BG3? You got me intrigued.
Well, that’s certainly a color scheme.
Do we really own any games at all? We own licenses, nothing more. Even if it’s on a DVD.
I swear, soon the terms “fediverse” and “federated” will get muddled up like when people have been saying “open source” when they mean “free (as in free beer)”.
Well, more power to them then! Ernest can then merge back the changes at his own pace, so everybody wins. Forks don’t need to be treated with hostility.
Either FR or PFP. “FR” just feels like another filler word. PFP… I’m too used to calling them “avatars”, it just feels wrong and superfluous. I’m probably aging myself here.
Whether it was a successful coup is a separate matter.
Back in my day we called them avatars, youngster!
I love the idea of using RA for new game discovery or choosing which one to play! I need to try it out, even without actually using the achievements themselves. Thanks for sharing!
Don’t they have a “hardcode” mode already for that?
I have the Plus one, also very happy with the size, so all’s good. I just know I keep the wifi off almost all the time, so I’m quite confused by the RA craze.
You cannot let or forbid a 16yo to use stuff. You can only decide whether they will do it in the open or in hiding. Personally I’d rather have them talk to me about it than hide it from me.
