I attempted to delete my posts and my account for you but there does not appear to be such facilities.

There is no such thing as unskilled labor. Put a fucking normie from the street into any of these 'unskilled' jobs and find out just how many skills are needed just to do something like customer service.

Looking down on those people is what will lead to another internal conflict. They'll be the ones you depend on when society goes to shit.

What are your thoughts on false advertising? What part of "unlimited" in the advertisement should be allowed, if the resource itself is not unlimited?

The guy in TFA should be a warning to others: you cannot trust other machines to handle your data responsibly. They'll turn on you and demand a ransom when it's convenient. Self-host, and own your infrastructure.

Did you even do the math before that tripe escaped your fingers?

I don't see how it's less of a concern that he has 200+ TB of video. Perhaps don't advertise a limited resource as unlimited; then you won't get people like this guy.

He deserves the ability to get the data off his account. Google acting like their hands are tied are simply being malicious.

Try to think of a project that either needs infra like that to get started, or another one you can deploy in a homelab or a few VPSes or something.

Maybe VMs are a good idea, to give yourself a good place to test things without committing bare metal to anything.

What software system architecture interests you? The scale you're interested in may matter, too. For me, system architecture means which distro (and which set of packages), configs, and other settings that create a cohesive server/client or groupware system. I think a lot of those challenges lay mostly in understanding how computers are being used within a given organization, and designing things in ways that make adapting easier and workflows smoother.

What that looks like, I would imagine is different for every organization.

I'm sure it's just an accident.

I guess it's representative of the demographics here. Nobody capable of conducting themselves honestly.

I agree, if you can't justify trust with reason then it's hard to trust your argument that relies on trust. Trust can be broken, and your stance doesn't address that concern.

There's the old saying of knowledge being power. If you want this information about people being spread, then you're advocating having power over these people over that information.

It takes very little imagination to see how humans would misuse this data.

I think actuaries will care an awful lot about this data and could use it to negatively influence your risk factor, and thus insurance premiums.

I'm not sure that's ever happened in this country. They pay all sorts of lip service, but when challenged or under pressure, the US makes a lot of excuses for leaving its own people behind.

Thankfully we can repay that favor and see how they like it when there's nobody left to defend them.
