This would just give companies more incentive to lobby for more lockdown laws.

"Look, the previous laws weren't harsh enough. People are breaking them anyways. We need way more harsher laws to protect our things! Btw, here's another 10 million dollars for no specific reason"

You know, I was fine with LTT for a while (many years ago). I knew they were clowns, but they seemed genuine and well intentioned. Their first Linux challenge made me raise my eyebrows at them, because I was a long time Linux user and knew much of what they said was either off the mark or disingenuous.

Then their storage server video came out and I almost fell off my chair with the levels of bafoonery I had watched. Even the real experts that helped them out had a hard time keeping their words civil while discussing the postmortem of the situation. That's when I lost respect for LTT and Linus Sebastian as a tech "expert".

Then all the other stuff about the lies, the made up metrics, the years of garbage test data from negligent and lazy practices, and the cherry on top which was the Billet Labs thing. The arrogance of Linus Sebastian to do the test in bad faith on a GPU that was explicitly stated by Billet Labs to not be the target device, and then Linus whine on the WAAAH Show that it would cost him too much money to do a proper retest, and then just selling off the prototype. Then doubling down twice in a forum post that LINUS SEBASTIAN is somehow the victim in all of this! Poor Poor Linus Sebastian.

And the moron couldn't even do an apology video without making some wise-ass joke. Couldn't read the room the one time he needed to do it.

He's just an ass-hat.

I refuse to watch a video with Linus Sebastian. I'll get better tech advice from my cat tripping on catnip.

What I do is just take out the card a plug it into a little USB dongle thing which I can plug into either my phone or laptop.

What's wild to me is that anyone would do it any other way. I'm astounded that this is somehow a "tip".

Not even 10 years ago it was simply the way to do it.

I've had someone tell me with a straight face that I'm "basically taking meth".

This is the same kind of person that says "American cheese slices are one molecule away from being plastic!"

It's not gamification that's the issue. That aspect really held my attention and gave me consistency.

It's the push to a pay-to-win model that made me quit. They made the challenges harder and harder to complete without using boosts, and to use the boosts you had to use gems. And gems were really hard to get unless you bought them with real money. It doesn't matter if you have a super subscription (or whatever it's called), you still had to pay to get the gems.

And the prices for the gems were just as predatory and the disgusting mobile gaming industry. Never should there be an option to spend over $20 for in-game consumables, nevermind over $100. It's sick.

It's actually astonishing how fast Tesla went from the most sought-after brand to becoming the most hated brand.

There are going to be case studies on this for centuries in all kinds of sciences.

Thank goodness they cleared out all that snow and ice so that we can finally see the pretty mountains.

Long time "old-school" kernel maintainers don't know Rust and don't want to learn Rust (completely fair and reasonable). But some of them don't want to work with the Rust guys for lots'o'technical reasons.

It's by far not an easy situation technically. Like this is a huge challenge.

But some of those old-school C guys are being vocal about their dislike of Rust in the kernel and gatekeeping the process. This came to a head at a recent conference (Linux Plumbers Conference?) and now one of the Rust maintainers has quit.

The big technical challenge is being confounded by professional opinions.

What the user was doing is that they don't trust that the system truly deleted the account, and they worry it was just deactivated (while claiming it was "deleted"). So they tried to do a password recovery which often reactivates a falsely "deleted" account.

I've done this before and had to message the company and have them confirm the account is entirely deleted.

Why should Amazon be liable for stuff sold by third parties?

Even when proven dangerous products are reported to Amazon they continue to sell it.

Louis Rossman talks about it a lot.

JSON data within a database is perfectly fine and has completely justified use cases. JSON is just a way to structure data. If it's bespoke data or something that doesn't need to be structured in a table, a JSON string can keep all that organized.

We use it for intake questionnaire data. It's something that needs to be on file for record purposes, but it doesn't need to be queried aside from simply being loaded with the rest of the record.

Edit: and just to add, even MS SQL/Azure SQL has the ability to both query and even index within a JSON object. Of course Postgres' JSONB data type is far better suited for that.
