Haven’t they done it twice before? Something like 2006 and 2014?

They refused to respond to an Australian government investigation. (Because Elon fired the two people who interfaced with Australia.)
The fine is not directly because they haven’t cracked down*, but because they couldn’t competently answer if they’re handling it at all.
(* and they’ve probably fired enough trust and safety people that they’re also having trouble there, but that’s not exactly what the fine is for.)
As a software dev, I don’t think there really is a better way. One thing you could do to avoid this is to install a second drive and boot to completely different OSes. You could boot to a Linux drive for personal stuff, and only use Windows for gaming.
These gaming companies are pretty aware that they go bankrupt if they either get a reputation for abusing anti-chrst data OR are full of cheaters. They have some incentive to use data ethically. But it’s still a good thing to keep an eye on.
Probably Netflix, YouTube, and streaming apps first. I’d say banks, but banks are slow. Games won’t take long. If there’s not enough blowback it’ll spread to every website that uses captchas today.
Download your data while you still can.
John Oliver just did a great episode on what a scam prison healthcare is.
On the Fediverse, you can go to a different instance.
Documentation tends to be “you take what you can get” on both sides. Are you going to turn down a PR because there aren’t supporting docs? That’s a good way to drive off developers too.
Generally someone who is annoyed with having to figure it out is the one who writes the documentation.
I forgot to mention Mumble as an example. It was many years ago, so hopefully things have improved by now, but the dependencies and setup for that were insane. I felt like I’d made a mess of my primary OS by the time I was done.
He forgot some of the biggest reasons.
Developers, open source or otherwise, should generally be excited about people “taking their jobs”. Because you’re going to have churn of developers over time, and if you’re not bringing in fresh blood, then your project is eventually going to die. Do you really want to maintain every project you work on for the rest of your life? Encourage new blood. Do what you can to accept new ideas and directions unless you have very good and explicit reasons not to. If someone has a sightly different vision and is willing to hop that initial barrier and is willing to put in more work than you, don’t undervalue that. Be willing to compromise a little to bring in a new developer. Sometimes you have to say no, but consider that you’re saying no to a person who wants to volunteer their time to do work for you.
On the other hand, there are tons of people who say they’re eager to work on your project. You invest a little time into them, they provide nothing, and then vanish. It’s easy to get jaded when you keep running into people who are more words than action. Be very careful what you promise you’ll do, and if someone invests their time to help you, try to actually do what you said you would.
Grand Jury issues indictments, can put you in jail until trial, and there’s generally no defense or judge present. They only need probable cause.
Advertise. And Geocaching is a great way to do it.
I’d recommend a post in the community encouraging people to put a url and/or QR code into some geocaches. Maybe with a sticky at the top of the community that explains what Lemmy is.
Consider the point of view of a person who finds the QR code in the geocache.
If you can open it, they can open it. There’s not much of a point if it’s something you can undo.
enshittification is an inevitable late stage consequence
Maybe, but I don’t think it is. Enshittification is a direct result of our tax policy that encourages cashing out, only looks at the short term, and requires constant growth.
There was a time when companies built a reputation and held onto it for a hundred years. We could go back to that.
Tax the rich.
Which is kind of weird because most C# devs aren’t doing games.
Is she just starting college? A relationship with someone who’s not at her school might be rough for her. I’d be forever disappointed if I didn’t have those life experiences.
Yeah, there’s really nothing wrong with a 50 year old dating a 19 year old. Age is just a number. There’s no power imbalance there or expectations. It’s perfectly healthy for the 19 year old to get into a long term relationship where their partner is going to be 70 before they’re 40.
Or, maybe, half your age + 7 is a good rule. It’s pretty lenient.
It’s hard to take that seriously when you use “xeeted”.
Not if you want to push the site hard to the right!
I was in M2-XFE. That whole experience certainly taught a lot about the power of narrative and propaganda. And the later blockade showed what leadership failures look like.
We always had the advantage in that blockade, and could have stayed there for another year had the allies stuck together. Or we could have executed real plans to break them and end the war. Instead we did the worst of both.
