Ah, so they won't be able to ID a little girl by her face but sexual assault is still OK with them?

These people are sick in the head.

The problem of airplane terrorism was solved over a field in Shanksville PA ninety minutes after a plane hit the North Tower.

You'll stop when you get less value from it than the fee is worth.

It sounds like they're lazily destroying their value proposition but Subjective Value Theory says that set point will be different than everybody else.

FWIW when I was a teen I probably spent $100 a months (in 2024 dollars) on music so I can see why so many people subscribe.

I had some problem with a gitlab-ce install some months back where an update failed to install and then new updates filled the disk with the apt cache on it.

I used their docs to clear the problem and get current but there was nothing inherently wrong, just an upgrade error.

This may have preceded the security patch; if it's a common problem people who thought they were OK with automatic updates might be in for quite a surprise.

I am glad gitlab exists but goodness it's up to about 20GB for a half dozen very small text-only repos.
