0.1% of the users isn't exactly a threat to their model.

They asked about laminated glass not tempered glass.

How does it compare to boost?

Yeah but the subverted expectation actually has to make sense with some double meaning or unintended logical resul. If it doesn't then nothing was subverted and no such joke occurred.

That's what they're asking about.

This is even more toxic than Reddit holy crap.

The person above you is just saying that we shouldn't celebrate the death of random people.

And you're over here calling them a boot licker for having empathy for another human like a petulant child.

We're not here to argue the merits of how this person went about their life were simply horrified at the celebration of death because they are rich. That's a seriously fucked up stance, a person died, a preventable death, we should be looking at Tesla for building unsafe vehicles which are coming to a Toyota Corolla near you.

Or even regulations that require a physical shifter so you can't accidentally fuck it up by swiping a touch screen to go forward or back...

It's simple but it's not easy, because it's complex.

If there's anything we've learned in human history of engineering and design it's that complexity kills when relying on human nature to control.

Nation state cybersecurity threats are a big deal, and heavily targeting Microsoft is definitely part of a larger game plan by Russia.

If Microsoft is struggling, imagine how helpless "smaller" corporations (Even 10/100's of billion $ corps) would be.

I'm interested in how this plays out, and the kinds of postmortems we'll get from this. Will we see any shift in security culture and best practices?

We're on Lemmy are they afraid of being censored because they are writing software catered for NSFW uses?

Other social media's chilling effects are pretty deeply engrained unfortunately...

If you see him again you should advise him to not use diphenhydramine as a regular sleep aid due to it being a Anticholinergic which have negative long term effects on cognitive function.

For real. I would expect this separate to have a marginally better understanding of software development than your average Joe but I've been quite disappointed in this thread.

Maintaining software is extremely expensive when it's as expansive as this. We're talking hundreds of millions per month for something like Windows just in salaries. Long term support has to be financed, that's the dirty reality, people have to be paid to do the work.
