Except that FileZilla does come with bundled adware from their sponsors and they do want you to pay for the pro version. It probably is the shittiest GPL-licensed piece of software I can think of.

It also says that they might have planned a second expansion featuring it. Doesn’t really say when the content was made, just that it would have been DLC.

I’ve played Phantom Liberty, going to the moon would fit that story. Maybe this is cut content from that expansion, not its own thing.

The sheer waste of energy and mass production of garbage clogging up search results alone is enough to make me hope the bubble will pop reeeeal soon. Sucks for research but honestly the bad far outweighs the good right now, it has to die.

Time for an anti-dog moat, I’d say. Full of robot sharks.

Okay, but this can’t go through doors on its own either unless it brings an arm buddy.

I don’t find that scarier than the cheap suicide quad copters we’ve seen in Ukraine.

“What should we do to get more people working in the health sector?”

“Better pay and more manageable shifts!”

“Roll back privatization to shift the focus to sustainability over profits!”

“I’d just enslave the youth again.”

It isn’t always deliberate, I can guarantee you that.

You are making it sound like China and its large corporations weren’t also very interested in profits and market domination.

That’s true, the reason I mentioned it is because you asked if it’s our place to interfere, prime directive style. I don’t think we have a moral reason to not interfere with some¹ species in our cultivated/managed spaces. It makes a lot more sense to me to have large national parks and other conservation areas where human interference is minimized.

¹ Usually it’s only some, not all. Probably because wolves, in this case, capture a lot of people’s imaginations. Which is awesome, but it’s also a bias some people have.

Is it really our place to interfere?

We already have, massively.

The lawmakers still lacked foresight. The real mistake was to not either force browser vendors to solve this on their end (cookie options SUCK on all browsers) or to make Do Not Track legally binding.

I find the political discourse, at least on some topics, very juvenile on Lemmy. You know, screeching about how billionaires aren’t people but parasites and need to die, hundreds of upvotes. That’s some edgy, frustrated teenager bullshit. Or at least it should be, guess some people never got the memo about inalienable rights, equal treatment, vigilantism and how two wrongs don’t make a right.

Seriously, this thirst for blood is disturbing and if it isn’t just venting then, well, look how the French Revolution turned on people. That wasn’t very poggers.

There’s also this idea that everybody who isn’t 100% on board needs to be defooed and marked, preferably as a fascist. Which plays into the hands of the actual fascists because the non-fascists hate each other too much to collectively tell them to fuck off, despite their differences.

There, that’s my venting done for today.

I hear the voice of the machine spirit!

It’s almost like marketing makes it sound like it’s a fully-managed, worry-free service where users can just call up Bill Gates himself instead of hundreds of management portals someone has to babysit.

Man… in a better world Nintendo wouldn’t have a case because liberating encryption keys is the basis for interoperability, which is good for, you know, competition. Competition is good. Or so I’ve heard.

Then it’s looked like that for at least a decade, nice.

Imagine they have new versions with new UIs, but legacy businesses ain’t gonna pay for those upgrades and retraining and re-integration costs!

Imagine that they want every customer to move to their new “cloud” system, S/4HANA, come hell or high water. Because that’s happening, apparently.
