Have you ever thought about becoming a Wikipedia contributor?

Sounds like something subresource integrity[1] could be expanded to include.

I told you so's are rarely helpful.

Have you actually spent time in the Amazon android ecosystem?

It's absolutely terrible. Total amount of available apps is not a good metric for quality.

If they're enjoying it, and do so regularly, are they really playing it wrong?

It's entirely possible to criticize closed source software without suggesting someone leave the community.

I think it might be a little uncharitable to say they prefer closed source software, it might be because it's often the easiest to access/use for a lot of people. I mean, that's been the struggle, no?

I've seen large houses framed out and the scrap loss didn't fill a trashcan. Running jokes about the tags weighing more than the actual wood scrap.

That largely depends on the builders, and in particular the project managers.

It's always been a ghost town for a large amount of popular apps. Last I checked, they didn't even have alternate browsers.

> Also, I didn't find any privacy or data policies on multiverse.

Another site asking for people to sign up using only their email address, having no TOS/PP, and the people from the project acting like trolls instead of answering simple questions.

FWIW, Cell carriers will do this as well. They don't require you to take a local number when signing up for service.

> It's way too heavy

It's basically the CPanel of ticket systems.

The kind that starts with Disney pulling all its advertising from Google. Companies this size move a lot of money between them, and that becomes leverage in pissing matches.

I'm curious about the browsing figures. As someone that used a Surface Pro 3 for browsing, js or flash pegged it. I'm curious on a i7 desktop what the real average is for my browsing habits, and I'm going to have to test this. bah.

>...theoretical universe where banning crypto is possible...

Money grows on trees, there, too.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts that if you made crypto illegal, there's still a whole lot of countries that won't give a shit and the problem will only get worse.

All these situations are nebulous and complicated, something as simple as legally banning crypto is not going to solve the problems.

The ransom side is already a crime, and it being labeled a crime doesn't stop it from happening. Laws don't prevent crime.

FWIW, You mentioned in the OP that you added billing information, but unless their account is very very old: billing information is required on sign up, afaik.

It's possible they did something goofy with a card that expired or a prepaid card upon opening the account that's causing the current issues.

You don't have to expect, Amazon's app store is filled with shovelware already.

I'm wondering what the magic in accounting is doing with this incentive structure.

Not to mention the possibility of a widely deployed moderation bot being used to attack the servers/channels they're running on, en masse.

Revoked in the way of changing the license for future releases, he can't retroactively remove the MIT license from previous releases. Revocation isn't the ideal way to frame this.

Right. You're talking about incentivizing a subscription to your newsletter. You have no TOS, nor PP, for it. You're providing scraped content while either time-gating it, or putting it behind a subscription. Everything together appears questionable to me.

Here's a question: If this isn't to be monetized, and this isn't about lead capture; why are you incentivizing subscriptions with current content instead of adding it to your feed?

This made me laugh.

Also, at least one eggdrop.

Pointing out that it's cheap for you, while you couldn't get it right, isn't a good look.

Why are you delaying the content to newsletter subscribers?

Considering the source of your content, and lack of attribution; now it's looking shifty.

Most of the time, because they can't capture leads with a freely accessible rss feed.

I would say it's more obvious than confusing it with something erotic.

I owe you drinks sometime.

It has never occurred to me to see that idiom as an analog for effort. It may sound silly, but in multiple lifetimes I've never seen it that way.

Do you honestly believe only California techfolk use Facebook?

To your point:

You can have the best plan in the world, well rehearsed and battle tested; something in that last patch bugged out and took the system with it. Now you're getting cursed out because the email, ivr, etc all said 1 hour downtime and it's been 4.

Weekly scheduled downtime has value, but it's not a good idea for most.

Out of curiosity, what do you use in AWS to keep a running live backup of the data you'd need to migrate in the worst case scenario?
