What…why…how?

These sound a lot like “trust me bro, he’s bad” arguments

That is the problem they get promoted as the one-size-fits-all solution on everything. And people are using it as it’s promoted

I usually go for if it has a / its probably US date formate…

We use dots in our Locale

Ohh you are in for a treat 🫠

Did you get it to run? I tried it for about a day or so, and only got it kind of working

You all get it totally wrong, it’s not part of enshittification, they add the landingpage so you can securely check where tue link is going…

And if there’s a landing page, why not use it to show you great deals…would be sad to not use that real estate

That’s \s by the way

What helps a lot for apps with multiple config files:

• if you tell the user to “add code xy to the config file” : tell me which file. is it the main config file? the one of the reverse proxy etc.?
• provide a sensible example library of the config structure. For example: duting the implementation of an importer for beancount I was struggling with what goes where. The example structure was really, really helpful.
• also, if you have configurations which allow different options: TELL ME THE OPTIONS! If I get an error during startup, that for config.foo the value “bar” is not allowed, I need a list of options somehwere, so many hours lost to find out what I can write to config.foo

It is at the scale they are working on, there’s a reason you can’t get an actual person to contact you… It’s too expensive to have actual people working these cases

Also, everybody started the round the same, and it was your skill, knowledge of the map etc. Which made the difference, not if you had unlocked some better scopes or weapons

Yeah, they are more leanient with their customers than with their products…

Yeah our law teacher always stressed that there is a big difference between having a right and getting your right

Jake from the corridor crew did a video speculating what the reasoning is behind it: https://youtu.be/u2dIvUAd5QE?si=rC2Kg_c-hCy0niYF

If a person set the rule it is definitely not an AI…

I went exactly the same route as you, loved his old videos, HI. At some point I started to listen to the one with Myke (Cortex - had to look up the name) . The first few episodes where quite interesting, but it got repetitive at around episode 50 or so…

Now even the few videos he releases don’t really get me anymore

And what do you do if you want to reference how fast the field moves, or why certain methods are not done anymore, but where found ‘good enough’ back in the days. You would still have to use the old source and cite them…

An absolute cut off doesn’t teach you anything…a guidance, how to identify good sources from bad or outdated ones would be much better

Yeah, that’s why nobody does it that way, but that strawman you got there looks mighty fine…

Yes but forwarding data to 700+ third parties is not what I would see as “privacy valuing”

Even if you can disable it…

True, but usually you buy them from retailers… This way they cut out the middleman. And the chance that you use 3rd party inks (although, that “security risk” got patched with firmware upgrades)

Also, they don’t just send you ink… It’s a monthly plan where you have x pages included. Unused pages are rolled over 3 times [1] and afterwards they probably are just lost.

Further, if you cancel the subscription, containers you received within the subscription wont work anymore.

Damn, I knew it was bad, but now that I read the details it’s even worse…

They probably are waiting to not be alone…
