Most of the points are only applicable to smaller companies. At larger companies the typical employee is far removed from the actions of executives.

One should be careful not to confuse an unknown reason with the non-existence of a reason. One of my prior companies suddenly became a target for digital espionage and I only knew about it happening at all because I worked closely with our security team. Others in the company had no idea except that security policies were suddenly changing.

I agree with your main point but leaving food outside was probably to protect the computers, not the integrity of the test.

I think the point is that an alternative installation method is already provided in the browser

You're right, but also, commit signing is useless if there’s nobody on the other side verifying that the signature can be trusted. GitHub is doing that right now but that also ties projects to GitHub. It's Microsoft's way off ensuring OSS development has to go through their gates.

It will be less than a decade until there is news of a massive data breach where one of the affected companies improperly stored PII.

Take it from an older software engineer. Eye strain is one of those things that creeps on you and suddenly realize it's affecting you in ways you never thought possible.

I agree with the sentiment of your post but also want to make the case for outliers. I work from home and have to frequently need to make very large data transfers (hundreds of GB in many cases)

It's the same thing through a different lens. Customers willing to pay more for better service could be less willing to pay for standard service.

That's rough. Thanks for sharing your experience. On the other side, I hope your life came together in other ways.

Agreed. The quality in not only GAs responses but also its ability to understand intent has seemingly been on a downward trend for at least a couple of years now.

This is exactly where I am with FreshRSS. Having it "installed" as a web app is OK but not quite what I want.

Sad to see the Android app hasn't been updated in 5 years
