  1. Enjoy having your identity stolen after yet another data breach.

  2. If you have a complaint, direct it at the numerous organisations throughout the world who have been disgracefully cavalier with people's personal data. The GDPR exists thanks to the people at those organisations who decided that it was too expensive to give a shit about their customers.

    Please explain then. I'm not getting anything beyond

    Are their customers really this fundamentally stupid?

    when I have tried to show you that availability of applications is why people buy Microsoft. If you have a superior alternative that can run the same software then feel free to tell me what it is.

    You assert that MS customers are stupid, I give you several reasons why people use MS software, you respond with insults and avoiding the question. What should we be using that gives us the same availability of software and ease of management? This is the question my management will ask me and "some guy on Slashdot thinks you're morons" won't go very far.

    As expected, tiresome insults. Just out of interest, is there a Linux equivalent of Active Directory or Group Policy or a mail client that integrates with things like Cisco WebEx or Condeco?

    Let's see now: Active Directory and integration with Azure, hundreds or maybe thousands of software packages that only have a Windows Server version and no Linux equivalent, lots of ASP.NET bespoke applications, plenty of desktop Windows only apps knocking around. I could go on but I'm interested to hear how you could possibly replace all this with a Linux solution. I expect insults and demands for people to be fired though.

    You put your business logic in the database? Wow, let's party like it's 1999. Do you use lots of triggers too? Again there's nothing stopping you executing stored procs with EF if you're desperate to do it that way.

    Yeah who'd want to use strongly typed objects instead of loads of strings everywhere. There's nothing stopping you using raw SQL with EF in any case.

    You don't understand the point of an ORM do you? I'd suggest reading why they exist. EF isn't perfect (and there are at least two mainstream alternatives) but it exists for other reasons than developers being too "lazy" to have code full of SQL strings. There's plenty of old .NET code with that if you're desperate to work that way but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Yes he did. The taxpayers requesting that their money be spent on something they're interested in also earned that money that they paid taxes on. Are you suggesting that people who pay taxes should be required to pay the full amount for everything before they get a say?
