Let me share this story: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html

The guy even has the police explicitly clear him off any foul play, but Google still won't budge. Consumers have zero rights to something as fundamental as retrieving their own files or emails

Rookie numbers, they're aiming for 100

True. Breadtube should stop with the slogfests

Then you don't know present day Germany 🙁

Great movie

Mandatory reporting strikes again. This person didn't get the medical help they needed because they didn't want police involved. This is exactly why doctors can't share your medical information with anyone: because then people will keep secrets from their doctors and the entire medical field suffers

Chrome got popular at introduction because it was much faster at loading and displaying websites. Sure, there was a marketing push by Google, but it succeeded on the products merits and not some unfair business advantage. It still is a great browser.

We do need antitrust protections but not always because consumers are getting a bad product. It's more about the balance of power. Maybe their products are good now, or their business practices are fair now to other market actors, but you never know when that will change and then it's too late. It's like you need safeguards against autocracy also when they're genuinely doing good job of running the country, because it's never worth it in the long run when they inevitably start doing nasty shit

I don't know who downvoted you, but they must not have heard of Iron Dome

Type 12 liberal?

Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)

They're also as mysterious as crop circles in programming. I know how it works but I'm not going to explain to the next poor sap. Such an antipattern. It's in the name, don't do this sort of shit. Stop being clever. Your code should be dumb as fuck

I think this should be default behavior. Countless times, blocking is used to silence disagreement rather than actual harassment. It's used offensively as well: By blocking your political opponents, they can't tell your followers that they're in an echo chamber

I wouldn't know, I'm a filthy casual. Parkitect never did it for me, but Planet Coaster did. The point is nobody's making a new Rollercoaster Tycoon under that name, but that doesn't mean there aren't worthy successors from competitors.

Cities Skylines is a better example, I remember how much Sim City sucked, but Cities Skylines knocked it out of the park
