> If this guy has the money for a season pass (!) he has the money for a smartphone. It seems like he just likes the nostalgia of paper tickets. But that's not a reason to add a separate ticketing flow just for him any more, like they had been up till now.

If you have money for a tea or coffee, you have money to send to me. Just because someone may have the means to buy something doesn't mean they they should be excluded from participating in cultural events for not purchasing and maintaining that particular thing. (Citizens often times over subsidize the stadiums in which the team is based in)

I think it's the golden state warriors that forces you to give them your biometrics to enter the stadium.

Oracle is not a high payer of salaries.

I disagree that its a "signal that they overhired". Laying off people means:

1. They didn't plan well enough

2. Their business wasn't attractive enough to customers

3. Their business people aren't good enough to support the people who are developing their product.

If anything, it should be a red flag to investors that they're working with someone they can't trust to give money.

Unemployment is not enough for people to live on. In some cases, it barely covers health insurance which can be 800$/month for a single person. (You can get cheaper plans but they start you back on your deducible)

You shouldn't blame them for things where their environment is bad, and that makes it hard to qualify when blame is unjustified.

But I think this is a great thing to show that they're pushing to outsource coding to a bot and to shame them that their plan isn't working out so well as they're trying to force people to believe.

I think it may help if we start personalizing these trends with the people who are amplifying it. I.e. Jassyslop, Siemiatbot (Klarna CEO was bold to brag he dropped 80% of a role for AI) etc.

This isn't just some guy that's overzealous.

Theres a lot of smoke here.

> This is honestly some of the dumbest false equivalence I've ever read. Entering a birth date (that doesn't even have a check for truthfulness) during account setup when the system is first installed equals returning escaped slaves or turning in jews? I'm actually baffled by this comparison. And no, I don't particularly care about North Korean laws.

Dylan M. Taylor's GH profile claims that he's from Durham, NC (which does not have this law). He also references to a draft to xdg-desktop-portal which has not been accepted. (Add parental controls to the Accounts portal: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922)

I'm asking:

- What is this guy's personal interest in pushing this through? (It seems non-neccessary and is questionable at what the end goal)

- Who's political agenda is he sponsoring for this?

- Is he getting financially incentivized to do this?

Companies get away from this because they distance themselves from their customers and they have systems to hide feedback.

(Also tests can be focused per defect.. which prevents overload)

From some of the changes I'm seeing: This looks like it's doing style and structure changes, which for a codebase this size is going to add drag to existing development. (I'm supportive of cleanups.. but done on an automated basis is a bad idea)
