that would likely turn on him in a heart beat.

Again, what happens to him personally or to Facebook as a company is irrelevant when it comes to how our lives are affected. The regulation of social platforms is good for society regardless of the efect regulation has on the owners or the companies owning the platforms.

Your argument is built around the wrong desirable outcome.

A minority that probably hates his guts.

How is this relevant to us? The subject here is about the platform's influence on society, not of Zuckerberg.

my experience with iCloud is pretty bad. I worked in a startup at some point which was giving Macs to employees and sort of expected them to figure it out. We had a few people quit and that's when we figured out that the macs became shiny useless things since we didn't have access to wipe the associated account and Apple didn't help in any way. So, from my experience, this is a horrible "feature".

Now i find out that it's even worse and it gives 3rd parties means to harass you... I really think that avoiding theft comes at a far to high a price

Sure. My point was that exposing someone to scams like social engineering is really really bad and far less desirable than keeping an open line of communication for a purchase

ISIS? Hamas? any number of such organizations would happily use some mass murdering weapons if given access to them. Putin has shown that he doesn't care about what happens to russian citizens if he can win something out of their suffering so empowering terrorist organizations to harm people, even russians, is not a big price to pay to make his point

Is it though? The author of this article knows what they're doing, but a regular person would probably not be as relaxed with some of the threats. I didn't see this in the article, how does the thief have the ability to contact the victim?

No. I also checked to see if I refused any cookies too and I didn't

I haven't noticed it being small. Any app recommendations?

 

The title really. I tried Firefox, Safari and Chrome, they all behave the same way: I have to re-enter my credentials almost every time I refresh the page or navigate to a new link within Lemmy. Especially on iPhone this is very annoying (since accessing your saved passwords requires entering a code). Is there a way to extend the life of the session?

Edit: I'm not seeing the same issue on my laptop, btw.

The type of investors who invest speculatively in the money grab that this move is aren't the types that invest into heartfelt projects which may or may not bring any money. There's a reason why the fellowship had a budget of $94 million and an unexpected journey had between $200 and $315 million depending on source.

There isn't a fixed budget somewhere that all these projects are competing for. Whomever is financing this movie is not going to finance whatever projects you're talking about. However, it might just be that if this is a success and brings a profit and visibility, those other smaller projects will get more funds thrown their way.

so what? It will either be terrible or interesting. Either way, we, personally, have nothing to lose from this being made and a lot to win if it's not terrible.

i don't think the nukes are where the drills take place, that would be quite stupid
