Should still be doing phased rollouts of any patches, and where possible, implementing them on pre-prod first.

I don't get why twitter wouldn't just comply & implement measures the moment it knew it's platform was being used to distribute CSAM.

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."

Ita also trivial to come to the same conclusion at a smaller scale.

You can run a LLM at home and see the amount of GPU & power resources it takes to compute the larger models. If I ran that full time, your household bill will most likely be 3x alone.

Same stance the UK Post Office took with Horizon. A fucking stupid stance...

That's my secret, I always sign off my emails as "Regards".

The key differences is utilities you're paying for the generation & maintenance of key resources - without gas, water and electricity we wouldn't be able to survive. Road tax you're helping to pay for the renewal and upkeep of the road surface (among other local services)... Left alone the road will degrade & will become unusable.

Suspension as a Service is milking what should be a perpetual cost when purchasing the vehicle. If the hardware is already installed, it should be available for the owner to use. They're not paying for the upkeep of the vehicle, or even ensuring the suspension remains functional... All they've done is placed the function behind a pay wall. They can argue they're maintaining the software, but it's utter bullshit and I hate the fact this has become a norm within B2B (for example network appliances)

At least with luxury subscriptions such as Spotify, Netflix, NYT, etc you're getting access to their content, which they renew. Here you get access to something you should have had access to from day 1.

It wouldn't stop against volumetric attacks...

They'd still fully consume the WAN bearer regardless of Crowdsec protecting the endpoint. For that you need a scrubbing centre to dump the traffic onto.

Why? Its hardware is dog shit.

Like most of my work's processes... Shit goes in, shit comes out...

Whilst I agree in the spirit of the petition, the wording isn't great.

Server infrastructure has significant opex costs to run & maintain - it's impractical to demand publishers to keep them alive, especially if the running cost far exceeds the player demand & potential revenues. What happens if that publisher goes bust? What happens if a significant security vulnerability is found?

Might be better to have legislation for software publishers (not just games) to both plan & implement a sunsetting strategies when they intend to retire software.

Eg. If the online component was just performing license checks, make software publishers remove the DRM. If it's to host a DLC store, release all DLC items for free & remove the store. If its for multi-player mechanics, release both the client & server software as limited open-source license so the community can maintain those assets going forward.

Execs don't give a shit. They simply double down on the false cause fallacy instead. They wouldn't ever admit they fucked up.

Last year the company I work for went through a run of redundancies, claiming AI and system improvements were the cause. Before this point we were growing (slowly) year on year. Just not growing fast enough for the shareholders.

They cut too deep, shit is falling apart, and we're loosing bids to competitors. Now they've doubled down on AI, claiming blindness to the systems issues they created, and just made an employee's "Can Do" attitude a performance goal.
