This is just a backdoor way to tie real names to online accounts.

Someone think of the children! /s

So, show me a photo of your driver's licence to prove you aren't one.

Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.

Worst/Pragmatic.
If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.
That's the rarer event - normally it's more like "the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it" and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won't be met.
Is my position arrogant? This is the job.

Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.

I'll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.

It IS bespoke internal development, not for deployment outside of the facility.
The computers running the software exist only to run this software and have no business talking to the internet at all.
IT is provided by an external third party vendor who operate on an inflexible "best practices dogma".

In a rapidly churning startup phase, where new releases can and do come out constantly to meet production requirements, this one size fits all mentality is impractical.

If you refuse to whitelist the deployment directory, you will be taking 2am calls to whitelist the emergency releases.

No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.

I am more than willing to have a chat; you, me and the CEO.

Purnell Real Estate principal Nick Purnell, who bought an apartment in Canberra as an investment property in 2020, said people will stop investing in property if negative gearing is abolished.

Don't threaten me with a good time.
Investors, with their ability to outbid potential owner-occupiers are a significant component in the current rise in housing prices.
Those rising house prices are DIRECTLY related to the raising rent prices.

Negative gearing was implemented to achieve a change in the market, a large thumb on the scale by the government.
Now it's time to step back and reassess the market and figure out what we need to do to achieve our desired outcomes.

Million dollar plus shoe boxes, whole suburbs dominated by short term rentals, people using the 15% equity on their 4 investment property to back a 5th in a giant house of cards gamble are NOT HELPING.

I have a friend group that insist on all events being planned through facebook.
I've missed out on events in the past due to not taking part.
It's no longer a hill I wish to die on.

I agree and use Signal myself.
But people like the extra features of WhatsApp like desktop/web clients with seamless history sync and all the other little things that WhatsApp provides.
The average Joe doesn't even think about security or privacy, they just know that the results of using WhatsApp are superior than using SMS.
iMessage is a non starter everywhere out of the US, it just doesn't have the market penetration.
As an Australian, no one I know (many of whom own iPhones) talk about the blue-green bubble stuff.
They recognise where the fault lies and simply don't use the app.

In certain places like India, WhatsApp is the default means of communication for everyone.
You can use it without phone data if you are on wifi, it supports better quality than sms for sending images, you can video chat with it, it's cross platform, etc etc.

What's more amazing to me is that it's not more popular in western countries.

Nah, that was worth watching.

Just one example of the lies and misinformation out there:

Smart people I know believe that we have to go Nuclear because it's the only green way to achieve baseload.

When press on what baseload is, they seem to think it's the minimum amount of power needed to keep the grid up.

Which for anyone listening in, is backwards, baseload is actually the minimum amount of load required because it's un-economical to spin old coal burners down. That's why people used to heat their water at night on the cheap, because the power HAD to go somewhere.

And these are smart people, just disinterested in the how and why of electricity generation.
They flick a switch, the lights come on.
Every 3 months they pay a bill and tut-tut about how expensive it is now "because of the green obsession".

Have you told the library to rescan after making the change?

[–] Mountaineer@aussie.zone 9 points 2 months ago

Funnily enough, I've got a few friends who are long time iPhone users, who actually point this stuff out themselves:

"OMG! Have you seen the eye watering price of the new one?"
"Yay, I finally get stuff you've had for years."

Neither party would ever consider anything else, and they both buy the new model every year. 🤷

At this point I admit that my reasons for choosing Android all those years ago no longer exist or matter, but I can't imagine changing ecosystem either.

It's not $238, it's $238 OVER the level of rort that would simply get him a slap on the fingers.

What sort of "crime and punishment" message is sent if this doesn't get him booted?
