Unless the IT dept tried to implement security and proper backups and were denied, this is the IT departments fault. Some random employee with a weak password can't cause the loss of a properly implemented network.

What is your basis for thinking LLMs don't improve? Genuinely, where does that come from. All the charts and benchmarks and records I see are going up every time there is a new one.

If computing has taught us anything, it's that they tend to improve in capability

Ad hominem and gaslighting much?

The actual issue is that a payment processors should NOT be able to dictate HOW a payment is to be used. What's next, banning purchases over books? movies? Payment processors should NOT be arbitrators of morality.

You DO realize that adult games are hidden by default AND you need to be logged in to see them, right?

yes, but google bad apple good

Apple only enforces its rules when it's profitable. Allowing these superapps is more profitable than forbidding them, so the rule are not enforced.

Indeed. Popularity is a shitty metric.

By Stack Overflow's "Logic" then McDonalds must be #1 because BILLIONS are served.

Popularity != Quality. i.e. Javascript, Python, and PHP are clusterfucks of bad design.

Customers don't care what language you implemented the solution in -- they just want shit to work.

Path of Exile 2 is an incomplete, boring, tedious, Ruth Souls-lite grindfest.

Disney has pleasantly surprised me with how they're dealing with Star Wars. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now.

Sometimes, they write love letters to the fans.

Given that this video is already 5 years old, The Deeper Metrics of Christmas, Deep Fake Poem by Impressionist Jim Meskimen, I'd say we are already past the uncanny valley.

I could see a day that SteamOS runs natively on PCs. Linux under the hood, Proton on top to run Windows games.

HBO might not mean anything to Gen Z and later but for us Gen X and earlier, there was still a level of prestige associated with the brand.

It was stupid to throw that away.

I called it out on another branch of this discussion but I'm talking about things like, someone posts a question that goes something like this:
"Am I The Asshole for declining a second date with the chick I met on Tinder after she told me she was trans?"

Topics like this are ban honeypots because even getting too close to a verboten position will get you banned by Reddit.

I have seen it. I have been threatened with a ban for expressing the opinion that 8 year old children shouldn't be given sex reassignment surgery.

Reddit is toxic.
