Don't corpo accounts leave logs for auditing though? I wouldn't like HR going over my personal notes I (accidentally) shared there.

This is why I always save contents as a new file instead of overwriting the original one when I'm using a machine that isn't mine. I've been burned so many times by flimsy newline characters, proper unicode support, legacy encoding and many other stuff you assume it should be already in place.

Many films and tv programs survive only thanks to a total stranger keeping their own copy. For a long term survival of any media it has to be copied and distributed far and wide.

No joke. A decent gaming pc can be built around that price and be used for so much more. Even cheaper if you hunt for used parts.

It made me wince when Android did away with its dessert based codenames and now they're just 'Android 12' etc. It really went corporate after that direction.

A tragedy for the afghan people. Even more so, since there's a sizeable chunk of their own population supporting them.

I'm worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.

Didn't they learn that taking away what people grew up with for more than two decades already will result in outraged customers? (Windows 8 - start menu removed and replaced by start screen)

Scummy practices that should be outlawed, like retail stores raising prices just before a big sale so they can slap "80% off!" on their stuff.

There's also the issue of self-censorship. No way of knowing if any Russian folk interviewed actually agree to what they say.

I remember the days of google being a cool startup that had just made news releasing gmail with a whopping 1GB of storage making everyone go crazy for the invites. It's a strange feeling.
