There's a link to this article. I haven't vetted anything, so take it for what it is.

Imagine the Super-Bug that would be created from this kind of thing.
Either it would destroy the world, or New York would become a complete haven of people totally immune to nearly all diseases.
It is definitely this. "You're not profilable, how do you expect us to sell you to advertisers?"
Being able to pull up or peel something without peeling back your thumb/finger nail is kinda nice. I don't carry a specific pry-bar, but some things I carry have a pry-bar-esque utility that is super handy.
That's the truth. Unless you're sporting a trusted linux distro, and a dumb phone, something is always liatening.
Only log into these websites in a private browser you trust and they can't "peek" in as readily.
Reading the whole Section, it seems they are leaning on this one phrase:
"SEC. 505. (a) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, any citizen may commence a civil action on his own behalf "(1) against any person (including (i) the United States, and (ii) any other governmental instrumentality or agency to the extent permitted by the eleventh amendment to the Constitution) who is alleged to be in violation of (A) an effluent standard or limitation under this Act or (B) an order issued by the Administrator or a State with respect to such a standard or limitation,
Which is duplicated here in some part here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/33/1365
They're very good at looking at the letter of the law without considering the context or purpose of why it was written. Any number of logical fallacies are used to jump every shark possible.
It's almost like, as users we need to actually pay attention to things and know how our tools operate. Weird. Cold batteries don't charge. Know what the limits are and make sure you have some kind of charge before you're on 0% and it's -40.
Sync dev said that it was either switch to a subscription model and provide less services or shut down. There isn't any wiggle room from the discussions that are being made public.
That's true. Since the site became a "company" people have begun hating the direction it has been going. I have an 11 year account that is my second after deleting my first account that was around since the beginning of the site. I've seen sites come and go. This is just the end of another in the long history of the internet.
So, are we hoping this gets deleted as well to keep the tradition alive, or is this hopefully going to change moderation? I'm confused on how to feel about this.
