Re: It's all fun and games...

Who is stopping them from creating their own venues?

Besides nobody.

Re: $40m to the extortionists

This. All of this.

$40 million to pay extortionists but not IT security? WTF?

Able to deliver without faffing about. Did not need to consult a committee. Able to quickly align his vendors. Created a product easily and quickly understood by the target market that was accurate and of high quality.

He'll never be able to get job anywhere.

Not even joking.

Re: So you might say ...

They know nothing of any kind of brevity.

Using more words makes you sound smarterer!

Re: "Ride sharing"

Ride Sharecropping.

I am stealing the hell out of that.

Re: Tax avoidance costs

You forgot the /s tag.

Re: And now a word from our sponsor

What flavor is that kool aid you're drinking?

Re: Share my phone number?

Exactly. I have to give my phone number to far too many places as it is and the amount of spam calls I get has long since forced me years ago to stop answering my phone if there no caller ID.

Which is more than inconvenient. It has also been costly.

Re: End of life

Planned obsolescence has been a thing for almost 100 years now.

We are all sheep to be sheared.

Re: Really ?

74 million to be precise. Or almost half.

Scary, innit?

Re: Or, ya know, just issue people a government digital ID?

Nailed it.

Re: So he waited

Lawyers aren't free. In fact, they are quite costly.

And the American labor dept. can easily take that long to process a claim. If you're lucky they even process it at all.

Not evening exaggerating.

Re: What! You use an App?

While I have sympathy for Droidscript for many reasons, this is the correct response.

That's why I never get tired of saying: how's that cloud thing working out for ya?

Never, ever, rely on cloud anything. Use it, but never reply on it.

People seem to have forgotten they have control. Build your OWN websites. Use your OWN PC, servers and local indie or municiple ISP (if you have one). NEVER give control to large companies like Google/MS/Apple/Cisco/Adobe/BT/ATT/etc. You WILL get screwed if you do.

That was the whole damn point of PCs in the first place. Freedom and control for the average person..

Except extreme right wing supporters NEVER, EVER debate in good faith.

Far left wing fanatics aren't much better, but at least they aren't advocating wholesale death and depravity as a general rule.

One group is just numpty annoying wankers. The other group is outright dangerous.

Re: Buried the lede

Have you actually seen other drivers?

Re: claiming it’ll help reduce fraud

Exactly. Fraud they say? The calls are coming from INSIDE.

Re: Is there a positive side to this?

Well at least elected to Parliament, right?

Re: Traditional infrastructure is all well and good but...

Yes, but basic infrastructure is still needed.

As for the world moving on, it moved WAY past the GOP (and all the other extreme right wings in the world) decades ago. They are dead men walking and know it. Hence their desperation and cruelty.

Linux desktop deployment is larger than most people give it credit for. While small in comparison to Windows and MacOS, it's still an not insignificant number.

Then there are Android phones, which IS huge.
