BoboDupla··on Proton spam and the AI consent problem
Fastmail is an Australian company.
BoboDupla··on With all social media fucking up severely, what's next?
Discord is a walled garden, but on the other hand it is quite enjoyable. If you find smaller servers. I am only on a handful of servers (none of them is gaming related) and the experience has been stellar so far.
BoboDupla··on A practical guide to incident management
This is all nice and great, but what needs to be said, that this guide is tailored for small-ish companies, mostly tech oriented, primarily facing customers. As someone who is working in a relatively big company (1500 employees in Europe) and worked in a corporate before, you need to have much more defined processes and definitions. Anyone who ever dealt with ITIL and is reading this must be very confused.

What also needs to be said - in my time I have seen orthodox ITIL bros, who got all their certificates and wanted to transform every ITSM process to the letter of ITIL and these people would probably get a panic attack from this guide. Nowadays I am seeing Agile bros, who want to do everything the Agile way, replacing one mess with another, just for the sake to be up to date with the newest frameworks.

I like that people at incident.io tailored the Incident Management to their needs and are not sticking to some predefined "rules" which are popular now. What works for them might of course not work for the rest.

BoboDupla··on Reddit ‘antiwork’ forum booms as millions of Americans quit jobs
Some posts in that subreddit are genuine and I support them, but some others and mainly the comments, man, that is basically an edgy teen's communist era playground. One of the mods even said, that the subreddit is for socialists and communists and everybody else is just conservative.
BoboDupla··on Google Photos will end its free unlimited storage in June 2021
but the result is a mess - why can't Google just give me all my photos in a logical folder structure, but instead I get duplicate folders with .json files and pictures which are in a completely different folder.
BoboDupla··on Apple just kicked Fortnite off the App Store
I might be mistaken, but wasn't this the policy Apple had since the beginning of AppStore? Every developer and user knew from the beginning what they are getting into. With Windows it is different, no? It would be a drastic change to a product, which operated differently at the beginning.

Yes, these laws can get abused very quickly if they don't fit the narrative of the ruling parties in Europe. However, how are you going to make sure what is hate-speech and what is not? Like the first example - when is supporting Palestine activists normal and when does it border on supporting terrorism? And when is boycotting Israel OK and when is is antisemitism? Hard to say and that is why these laws are only effective if you have an authority which can really determine this. Also, what is so left-wing about supporting Palestine? In many Central European countries far-right activists are also supporting Palestine because they hate Israel. And their messages are not left-wing. Also, don't forget, that left wing and far left can be as dangerous and filthy as far right. In short - I don't think these laws are effective unless the law lists specifically all the situation when it applies, otherwise it can be applied to whatever situation based on who is applying the law.
