False

shukantpal··on Investors Are Buying Mobile Home Parks. Residents Are Paying a Price
You’re right. But when 37% of the workforce can move out of the city, that means there’s more housing available for the 63%. I think that’s what’s happening when people moving out of cities lately!

Not a Christian here so I don’t know lol
shukantpal··on Have economists led the world’s environmental policies astray?
No, it would be the cost to negate the externality (like absorbing co2)

37% of jobs in US can be remote. That’s easing a lot of that pressure. God bless capitalism.
shukantpal··on Largest GDPR fines surpass $1.3B
I use NoScript on Google. Works fine. Most things work okay without scripts if you are just there to read.
shukantpal··on Largest GDPR fines surpass $1.3B
I’m talking at the meta level. The laws can start nationalizing every company. But I think it shouldn’t. The law can put the burden on developers — but shouldn’t.

I shouldn’t have to abide by some stupid rules to plug my server onto the Internet and listen on port 80.

shukantpal··on Largest GDPR fines surpass $1.3B
No it’s not. Rather it’s more like drivers should be held responsible for how they drive their car.

I’m not even saying responsible— just they cant reasonably complain when they drive somewhere new and they don’t like the road conditions.

Your original analogy is more like this: If a person's computer got hacked unintentionally, they shouldn’t be responsible for the damage it caused to others.

Then you can simply encourage competition to drive down prices lower.

Maybe users should be responsible for what they intentionally run on their machines.

These are reasonable generalizations.
shukantpal··on Reddit blocks posting any .ru links
Blocking links is not trying to "erase the existence" of a country. That's a particularly foolish comparison.

Looks like you didn’t get the point from OP.
shukantpal··on Running a private mail server for six years, easy peasy
The mail server can run for 25 years. And it doesn't require any maintenance. And you don't have to trust anyone else to keep your data safe.
shukantpal··on ‘Zero-click’ hacks are growing in popularity
And you don't realize their codebase must also be really large like their number of employees. They must have a lot of code per employee.
shukantpal··on U.S. posts $119B budget surplus in January; first in over 2 years
This is a not-so-smart analysis. The market doesn't think that inflation number will be sustained.

However if it does sustain, the $15,000,000,000,000 in debt maturing in less than 5 years will be very hard to refinance at the same interest rates.

shukantpal··on CORS is not meant to secure an API endpoint
> You are somehow wrongly assuming that only same-origin requests exist or are needed.

No they are not making that assumption.

shukantpal··on GDPR penalty for passing on of IP address to Google by using Google Fonts
Yeah like when you use a browser no where did you literally cause & consent to loading and running stuff.

False analogy.

Ironic that people use this line of reasoning to defend ad blockers (I'm responsible for whatever software I run) but then use the opposite argument when they don't like what the software does.

shukantpal··on Non-Consensual Personalization
I don't think so. Based on this article, Netflix is also forcing pixels on their screen to be color black -- and I want them to be green.
shukantpal··on GDPR penalty for passing on of IP address to Google by using Google Fonts
> Again, you're talking about an opt-out. GPDR (the law) requires an opt-in.

It is opt-in. You decided to use a browser that implements the full HTML spec. Just use a basic browser.

You failed to make a meaningful counterpoint; the legal/ethical distinction was made clear in the parent post.

shukantpal··on Dev corrupts NPM libs 'colors' and 'faker', breaking thousands of apps
That's a foolish hypothetical to construct; however, I don't have to refute it.

That's because the author themselves said in this case, that the reason to submit the malware was to give a "fuck you" to the big corps.
