Step away from hardware constraints for a moment, and consider the OS:

If the OS says a file is deleted, under no circumstances should the OS be able to recover it. Sure, certain tools may exist to pull it back; but it should be unavailable to the OS after that. And yet, apparently a software update was enough to recover these files. Thus, the concerns about data safety in an environment where the OS cannot be trusted to remove data when it says it has been removed.

I'd be happy with just the silver spoon, myself.

Straight to victim blaming?

The agreement that was a pop-up you could only accept?

My dog answered that before I got a look at it. Is that legally binding?

Often you can still find out what it does, but the “why” gets lost and because of that people are afraid to change it.

I feel like this is what gets lost whenever documentation is talked about. Yes, you should probably be able to work out what something does by looking carefully at it - but why can be so easily lost!

I would rather say it’s “predictable”, rather than “understandable”. Perhaps even, “no better than we can expect”. Calling this “understandable” tends to normalize greed for greed’s sake.

This isn't hate for the investors, but for what they've pushed for. Discord was already profitable, this is just driving enshittification; per the article.

Yep, airships aren't overpressurized like a balloon - any leak will be extremely slow, as the heavier ambient air gradually displaces the helium inside the airship through whatever hole might be created. As I understand it, one of the big maintenance issues they have is even finding the holes from normal wear and tear. The usual failure scenarios involve storms with huge pressure changes.

Pretty sure this is why they keep training it on books, movies, etc. - it's already intended to make sense, so it doesn't need curated.

Pretty sure they're talking about the anti-universal healthcare propaganda in the States. Downplaying the wealth gap happens here plenty, too.

Honestly, that part doesn't strike me as any stranger than talking to someone wearing aviator sunglasses
