The random board on 4chan is a good indicator for how that would look like (very NSFW and depending on your location illegal content there)

Crowstrike offers staging like this.

The update ignored the stagings set up by the customers.

I fixed a bug in an open source project we use and got into trouble for it :|

In Germany we say “If you want to murder someone, do it with a car”. It’s infuriating how car drivers get away with it or get incredibly light sentences for maiming or killing people by using a car here.

Which apparently needs an account just to use it and a subscription to use it well. Don’t think something like that can be a lord and saviour over LaTeX.

I’m definitely guilty of that sometimes.

Please no. :( I do like 99.99% of online payments through them because the convenience they offer is really great, especially with recurring payments. :/

Yeah, being able to seamlessly switch between the desktop app and mobile is a must for me so that’s something I already prefer in Signal.

Though now that I’m more awake I think it’s probably unrelated, I haven’t seen this circulated around that much.

I wonder if their recent blog post promoting conspiracy theorists and right-wing people turned away more people from telegram than they expected and now they feel the need to spread FUD against their competitors.

Most responses tell you to add them yourself which is a solution to this problem. But I think the reason why the state of businesses on OSM and Organic Maps (which uses OSM as a source) is so dire is interesting too:

OSM must not use other maps as sources. In fact, they must not use any information that hasn’t been licensed in a way that specifically allows OSM to use it. As such, they can’t just go to Google Maps and copy all the business information over because Google has not licensed that information in an open way. Information like streets, paths or houses can be gleaned from satellite pictures that have been provided to OSM and can be put in easily so they tend to be up-to-date. But for businesses, someone has to actually go there and confirm the information.

Now why is Google so good at that? Because almost every business owner makes sure to put their business on GMaps themselves and keep that information updated so it doesn’t depend on one person going through the area regularly.

I don’t know what happens if a significant amount of yt users used freetube. but that probably won’t happen.

Look at what happened with Nitter (alternative Twitter frontend). They’ll start changing around things so often that alternative frontends break every few days.
