I know that’s what they are saying, I guess I think they’ll blink when a large percentage of users don’t buy a whole new computer just for a new Windows version.

I’ll believe that they’ll stop shipping security patches when they actually do it. It would obviously be a terrible idea for the reason you stated.

Reacting extremely violently to public fuck ups is not the same as a robust safety culture and inspection process.

No you’re right, nobody has precious photos or videos on their phone 🙄

I have never understood this attitude in the open source community. You’ll mouth off all day about how profit is bad, but so many projects can only survive with the backing of invested companies. You’re chasing the perfect at the expense of the good. Would Wine even exist today without CrossOver? I think no.

He literally did say that he doesn’t have the time to maintain it anymore, in large part because of entitled users like you! You clearly didn’t read the article, and responded to the headline.

The kid is 18 and in college, you think this should be his full time job? And the “evil paid app” in this situation contributes all their work upstream to Wine, so the definition of a positive actor in the community.

What have you done by the way? What’s your contribution?

Or possibly just more drugs

The facts: An IBM subsidiary removes a reference to work done from its website.

Your take: A BRAZEN ASSAULT AGAINST ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE

How is this a relevant question? Nobody said anything about some governing body. There have been discussions on many instances about whether to federate with them or not, and it’s accurate to say that some people think we should.

What they’re actually doing is super shady, and reason enough to cause concern without exaggerating.

Agreed, but the article title implies that they are in fact currently revealing names, which is just not the case.

I swear some people are just contrary.

It seems as though nobody in this thread actually read the article. They are not revealing user names on the site. The objection here is having the real name as part of your private profile data, in case of a future data breach. It’s a real concern, but orders of magnitude less serious than what everybody is assuming.

Shame on Ars for the misleading clickbait headline.

hate to be that guy…

Are you sure?

Or clever grifters can post content to entice a gullible demographic into paying for some confirmation for their beliefs.

If anybody tried to shoehorn AI into game development, it would be those same out of touch execs!

The downvotes are for your hot take on AI, not that people think the studios are fine. Of course I’d prefer comments explaining why that’s a silly thing to say instead of everyone jumping on the downvote bandwagon…

Rolling out? Maybe I’m missing something but you could pay to boost your posts on Facebook for many years now…

If we could explain it, it would just be another rules engine 😅
