pretty much this. NEVER stay just because you are loyal to a company/team.
also if you changed jobs and still feel like a nubie after 1 year because the project is shit or undocumented or a complicated mess of historically made errors, consider leaving.
im forced to use windows in the office for one year now. i feel so handicapped its no joke, the people i work with just dont use any unix goodies at all, they would rather write a native java app to sort shit for 2 days instead of some magic cli oneliner, or a bash/python script.
when you read "... an investigation by BuzzFeed News " it means somebody somewhere investigated something, then buzzfeed news found that investigation and copied it now claiming they investigated that.
a) its only wrong if you get caught
b) you only get "caught" if you dont let the others do their stuff in your country (like the netherlands a few weeks ago)
out of ca. 195 nations only like 3 get it all the time ?
"we would not sell technology to the nazis would we? but before anyone else does, we wil sell to the nazis..." also "we feel obliged to think hard about this problem and take a longer-term view" pretty much means "fuck you we will do it and we dont care about your concerns". this machine kills.. it will collect data and will get you killed.
the same software i helped to develop 20y ago as a student to track cancer cells was later sold and used to track other "interesting" things. you sometimes dont know what youre working on until people in uniforms run around shaking your superiors hands.
well, these days i help people in the adult entertainment sector getting richer, wasnt planned - thats just what our system can also do as an unintended feature.
you can kill people with holy water you know ?
lack of rules, proper education and loads of stupid people, and this is not only car safety problem.
why can i drive 230+ km/h (~140 in retard units) with my old shitty golf5 on the autobahn? better and stricter rules and lots of mandatory driving lessons for everyone.
drm means you dont buy stuff, you buy the right to use stuff. you dont own products anymore. if you dont like it, remove politicians who are constantly bribed to allow such nonsense.
"the lawyer industry has shifted its focus to fashioning new forms of copyright liability that would require ISPs to act as the copyright police." - here fixed it
maybe in the past a lot of people died to socialism (lot of other factores played a huge role), but you dont have to be a genius to figure out that with capitalism like this everyone will die, humans on this planet wont survive.
while googles tracking is widely accepted, any 3rd party tracking mechanism that suddenly pops up and tries to establish outbound connections is not. especially without any notification. yes, a simple "this game will send telemetry..." and a simple op-out box would probably do. but if you know product owners they just dont care about stuff like this until it falls flat.
the link between browser and game ID is the main problem here. its too intrusive. but it is needed for publishers to track affiliate advertising and to measure advertising campaign performance. (in simple words : Advertisment-A got me 1000 players and i paid X money for them, Advertisment-B got me 5000 players... and so on). without data your marketing people can just screw around and blow your money.
redshell is usefull for ingame tracking, something you would have to implement on your own. and it is not the only middleware solution for this.
steam wont help you with this, afaik you cant even distinguish between "installed client" and "added to library"
titles of the same genre have always been somewhat similar, its just that the industry figured that a few mainstream genres are worth it, and the rest not. compare this with comics, books, games, movies, series,... . few popular exceptions can divert this a bit (increase of synth use after title xxx, mistery series after stranger things or more gore/crime after breaking bad walking dead,... ). and ofc people want money, means artists will copy popular stuff all the time. everything is a copy of everything at the end
learned this years ago (in germany): the Federal Ministry of the Environment does not exists to protect the environment, it is here to allow the max amount of damage and the maximum amount of exploitation of the enviromnent by private orgs before people start to riot against the current government. translate to other agencies and you know whats up.
Slashdot Mirror
whats next ? wont allow virus scanners or fresh air ?
afaik only retina scan isnt defeated yet ?
there are examples where people have been acquitted but still appear as murderers/rapist etc. in old articles and ofc in google results.
"right to be forgotten" is shit, a duty and obligation to be correct should be there.
a general right to be forgotten just makes it possible to get away with murder depending on your personal ressources.
pretty much this.

lets just join all the tables ... still faster than one with everything

trolling your own people is fine (like fox news ok, rt is not)

you get what you pay for, in this case stealing drivers ..
drm means you dont buy stuff, you buy the right to use stuff. you dont own products anymore. if you dont like it, remove politicians who are constantly bribed to allow such nonsense.
where you dont own commodities you paid for anymore, you just pay to use them (until we decide to not let you anymore and youre basically fucked)

but guns dont kill people ?
professionals can write shitty code in any language
sure, lol
just the tip of the iceberg, the shocking truth comes in small pieces.
its not stupid if you get paid a lot of money to look the other way
