This is what the anti-piracy companies do to try and dissuade people from torrenting. Just create a custom rule to give .exe files a -1000 weight and never worry about it again.

As someone that loves docker compose and doesn't mind services with the benefits of software better than sqlite, I guess I'm the minority here. I wish more apps were based on postgres. I also have never had a problem with my publicly exposed applications. Not once in 8 years.

whether it’s new or not doesn’t matter. it’s more propaganda and it should be exposed. really glad they wrote this article.

This is just another case of a business insisting their people should be in charge of the evaluation of the safety. Worked really well for Boeing right?

Also I find it incredibly difficult to hear any company in the US worry about repression of people when financial repression is happening here. I’ve been to China and seen what the services to the public are like. Meanwhile the US funds and employs AI weapons in an ongoing genocide.

Apple was already on the edge of "too expensive". Now it's obscene. I think this really opens the door for the new intel framework 13 pro.

Opt outs don't even exist at the top level, only on the people search ones utilizing the data.

Linux + Website needs to return as the ultimate form of self publishing. Back when an internet search was the platform.
