>The disappointment is real when you tell the ransomware guy, "We're not paying. We just restored from backup."
Worked at a trucking company as a software dev and this exact thing happened. Got hit with ransomware attack but our IT team had daily backups of EVERYTHING. This was when ransomware was first "taking off" and they weren't even 100% sure if the attack was real.
I wish I got to see the ransomware's operator's reaction, but I honestly feel like they probably had enough people falling for it so I doubt they really got that upset.
Oh, I don't care if they do and never said they shouldn't, I just think someone should make a FOS version.
How dare someone want to use something free and open source, that's developed by a vast community of individuals instead of relying on 1 individual (who might disappear at a moment's notice) for every single update and bug fix. Tstst.
>2. This policy only can be set on managed machines.
What about kids in school? So only the poor kids who don't have access to their own hardware will be subject to these rules that prevent them from viewing source? Sounds pretty insane.
What's truly absurd is the apparent lack of critical thought that went into this decision.
Keep patting yourself on the back though, Eric. You're obviously totally 100% right on this one /s
It's REALLY easy to check what the browser is doing and multiple people have. There was an article floating around claiming it phones home but many people very quickly pointed out that the author was mistaken, at best (they thought some CSS or something completely normal being loaded in the background was brave "phoning home").
So is the argument from fallacy... If you want to argue against science then you should bring your own evidence because claiming that someone agreeing that their observations match 3rd party scientific observations is a fallacy is beyond silly.
I mean I'm not basing anything on personal anecdotes, I'm simply stating that my personal observation supports what a scientific study says. When there is evidence to back up an anecdote it ceases to be an anecdote.
And it's not like I'm making decisions based on my coworker's family members getting covid lol. This is a much more complex issue, and that really kind of reduces the entire thing to the point of absurdity.
Not surprising when all of the people around me who are vaccinated keep getting covid. My coworkers wife came down with appendicitis after getting the vaccine and her mom got covid after being vaccinated as well.. my boss's dad got covid after being vaccinated. I work in an office with 4 other people so it's not like there is a high chance of that happening, but it did.
Either the immunity wanes over time or people who are vaccinated are taking more risks or something
I like the concept but the desktop version makes me scroll horizontally to look through results. I'd rather scroll vertically on desktop, and come to think of it I'd probably prefer vertical on mobile. Scrolling sideways like that is really annoying.
Brave browser seems to have figured out a way to make money on ads without sacrificing user data/privacy. If you opt in to their ads they basically sync ad campaigns to your browser and then use local browsing profiles that don't get sent to any servers to decide which ads to show you. It all happens on your computer and it doesn't send your profile to anybody, so the only user data involved is "user looked at an ad, but we have no idea who actually looked at it".
I have no idea what you're on about. Just because I have criticisms of people that doesn't mean I'm taking sides politically.
What "catchphrase" am I even repeating? I feel like you didn't even read what I wrote lol. Like, do you honestly think the only way I could come to that opinion was if I was parroting some talking point? No, I have just met way too many fake activists who clearly only care so long as the only effort they have to put in is criticizing other people, while doing nothing in their personal lives to solve the problem.
I think we do have a pollution problem, I also think we have a hypocrite problem. I take issue with fake people preaching down to people while doing nothing themselves.
You can believe whatever you want about me bc of it, I couldn't care less
