  • It's a joke on the headline phrasing of moving everything to a single "French cloud".

  • What an ephemeral solution.

  • Go right ahead. My comment history will dictate otherwise, but again, you're account age combined with your behavior here, makes you seem suspect.

  • Yawn, I’ll say it again

    Ok, 1 day old account spreading doomerist defeatism.

  • We're talking about Brittain idiocy right now. Not everything needs to be about how much more idiotic the US is.

  • Which TCG does she prefer to get Deck pics of?

    I've got a killer red/blue mtg deck she might be interested in seeing.

  • Oh the PROFANITY!

  • I disagree.

    Rewrites can happen due to new feature support.

    For examlle: It's entirely possible that a synchronous state machine worked for the previous needs of the software, but it grew to a point where now that state machine is unable to meet the new requirements and needs to be replaced with a modern fam with asynchronous singals/delegates.

    Just because that system was replaced doesn't mean that it wasn't maintainable, wasn't readable, or easy to understand. It just wasn't compatible with the growing needs of the application.

  • It's missing the arm that has the gun pointed at themselves.

  • I'm glad to hear that you don't have a family, a pet, or other unit that you need to support other than yourself, and do not have an illness that requires medical insurance in a country that requires it for care, that a capitalist can exploit you for.

    The rest of us, we are not so lucky to be as chronically unattached and healthy as you.

  • Unfortunately for her, he's wearing polkadot instead of heart boxers.

    Buddy is feeling great with himself and isn't looking for anything at the moment.

  • I don't have kids, but I had heard that people with kids and dogs had noticed that their dogs were watching Bluey too. So I started putting on episodes of Bleuey for my dogs when I'd have to go run errands. Yep, I've now watched quite a bit of Bluey, and it's a damn good show.

  • Behold.

  • I hate bottle episodes. After watching "Fly" I came away still hating bottle episodes, even if they are done well.

    Best bottle episode ever, imo, was done by Community. And still, fuck bottle episodes.

  • So fighting against this new understanding of the term is either pedantry for the sake of it, or you have some sort of stake in Google perhaps?

    Great use of a bad reason fallacy with a touch of ad hominem in an attempt to discredit.

    Your claim is that the term has been used to mean something negative. You present no evidence to back this up other than your feelings.

    I don't discredit that major corporations do evil shit.

    However, I presented you with the experience I've had with the term dating back nearly 30 years where I, and the people I talked tech with, was sideloading files onto our PDA and Rio MP3 players.

    The term started out as a technical distinction in the circles I ran in (Detroit area) back then.

    Aside from your feelings on the term, I see no valid justification to stop using it when I'm trying to clearly communicate something. I work in tech (and no, it's not Google or Apple. Fuck publicly traded companies) as a lead on the platform support group, and I need to be able to clearly communicate with my peers and reports. Sideload is a widely recognized term in the spaces I have worked in.

    I'm not going to stop using a precise technical term because some internet strangers have unfounded negative feelings about the possible marketing connotations.

    Present me with evidence that it actually means what you're saying and maybe I'll consider working on making the language change. Just like I've done with actually real problematic industry terms (master/slave, black/white lists. Etc).

  • I've been using the term side loading since the late 90s/early 2000s for installing software or files to a device via a transfer cable. And by the time Android came along, the early app development community was using the term to push the app to your device via ADB. And from there it's expanded from transfer cable push to download and install from an unmanaged 3rd party source on a mobile computing device.

    So the term has existed in some form throughout the tech/power user community before modern mobile computing. Now did Apple and Google usurp the term? Ehhh, possibly? I've yet to encounter somebody that uses sideloading to mean something negative, but I'm sure there is a group out there that does. I'm not convinced that group is large enough for me to stop using language I started using nearly 30 years ago to mean something specific. "Why use more, less precise, words when this single term says it already?"

  • There is.

    It's called Parental Controls.

    It also does a fairly good job at preventing stuff from getting through.

    One of the big issues right now is that there's a lot of sexualized content on social media right now that's bypassing parental controls because the social media services are doing a poor job of limiting that content when encountering a parental controlled device.
