Yes but it’s the principal of the thing I’m mad about

Side note: I am angry I can’t log in to my cbc gem account without adding my age and postal code.
It asks for gender but you can put “prefer not to say”.
Birthday and postal code are not skippable though.
- Comment on Can someone ELI5 RSS/Atom feeds? 4 days ago:
They do not need an account ever.
There are a few companies that run reader apps that do require an account.
RSS was very common until Google created Google Reader, everyone centralized on it for some reason, then they killed it. Then Google and Apple and Firefox removed rss feeds from their browsers.
There are independent apps not is hard to find good ones
- Comment on Rainbow Six Siege ravaged by massive server breach that gave its players billions of paid currency for free 4 days ago:
I’ve rebuilt databases from logs and snapshots several times.
It should be pretty easy (and by easy I mean labour intensive and exhaustingly detailed) to pick a snapshot, identify real money in, then undo all skin/item purchases and revert all money to the original amounts.
That’s kind of best case scenario to the user base. Nobody gets screwed.
It’s also possible the hackers didn’t just modify the tables so there’s an audit trail, or they have change data capture enabled, or can replay the database transactions out of the box.
This is all very stack dependent.

I’m very lucky with my nice skin.
One day someone will wear it and thank me.
- Comment on Attitudes 2 weeks ago:
I want to retire early, but I would still keep working because I find what I do stimulating and rewarding.
Retirement for me would be working small jobs that I want to do, and taking classes that I find interesting. I’d probably be taking jobs at small businesses and charities.

- Comment on Word. 2 weeks ago:
I wrote latex template files that the markdown rendered into, that way I could use my own macros and styles.
- Comment on Word. 2 weeks ago:
I used it a lot for university… and I did not know that.
I did migrate to pandoc and markdown for a lot of stuff, with custom template files.

- Comment on Word. 2 weeks ago:
I miss the Steve Jobs era of iWork.
I won’t say it was the best (why were there no pivot tables in numbers?? And why is the current implementation shit requiring manual refreshes that you can’t rely on?), but the software worked very uniformly and was straight forward.
If he hadn’t died he would still be yelling at them to make keynote and numbers work, and he probably wouldn’t have missed the collaborative editing boat.
- Comment on Word. 2 weeks ago:
I would use word for this, but I can’t close vim. I guess I’m learning LaTeX.
- Comment on Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues? 2 weeks ago:
You don’t want a person on a contract with multimillion dollar injury payouts to get invited and have to also pay someone else to fill their role.

- Comment on Google AI summaries are ruining the livelihoods of recipe writers: ‘It’s an extinction event’ 2 weeks ago:
The other day pig tail was on sale at my local store, and I bought a bunch to make soup.
Apparently boiling them all into soup had way more gelatin than I’m used to from regular bone broths and the broth is like nearly solid jello.
I feel like I was getting closer to glue.
- Comment on Google AI summaries are ruining the livelihoods of recipe writers: ‘It’s an extinction event’ 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t recipes been commoditized for a while now?
DDG has shown recipes inline from Allrecipes for like 10 years now.
I’m more interested cooking advice and techniques and styles, which AI can’t actually qualitatively try and document.
Whenever I ask ai for cooking advice it just says whatever I’m doing is genius and great. Even if it’s fucking stupid or wrong.
