ByteDance is a privately-held global company, roughly 60 percent owned by global institutional investors (such as Blackrock, General Atlantic, and Susquehanna International Group), 20 percent owned by the company’s founders, and 20 percent owned by its employees—including over 7,000 U.S.-based employees.
I’m not in the US so that’s your first fuck up.
Secondly, the misused ‘they’re’ was me not proofreading autocorrect too closely while I was on the train this morning.
You are an insufferable elitist bore.
for what is essentially uncharted territory.
Neoliberalism has been very well explored for the last 45 years and has failed. It is a dead ideeology that needs to be assigned to the dustbin of history as a terribly shit idea.
That’s them being an elitist prick, full of English exceptionalism.
You could look through their previous comments and probably find that they invariably wear the badge of “political moderate” but their world view based around their superiority seeps through eventually.

There appears to be a lack of “centrist”, non-political, or right-wing voices (and I don’t mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions).
TBF, they don’t exist.
They’re might be some that on appearance hold reasonable views that are considered centrist /moderate conservative but if their privilege is questioned or their fragile egos get scuffed, they always and invariably go full on far right.
Their moderate views are just a veneer that are held to appear as such and never stand up to pressure.
The cliff thought as much. Why else would it yeet him like that?!
(Doesn’t sound like he was because he also held patents for an insulin pump & a wheelchair that could climb stairs so his mind was definitely working towards solving real world problems & not just reinventing public transport)
Reddit admins have already put things in place to counter editing or deleting comments.
I deleted an account from 2011 yet when I searched on Google for “site:reddit.com account name”, it listed loads of posts with their previous content (I used the script that changed all the contents before deleting).
All SM sites have been doing this for a while: they’ll shadow delete your account but will retain all the data.
Old man shouts at clouds hating on democratisation of music production tools and digital distribution, while sitting in his $x00,000 studio, wanting to consume music that uses laborious methods of manufacture and distribution and seeing it has no value if it doesn’t.
Exactly. If critical mass is achieved inorganically, it would result with a reverse in uptake & possibly even a revolt against it.
You can lead a horse to water… (but a pencil must be lead)
No, it’s all good. We’re on the same page about disaster recovery!
as long as there is at least one other backup that isn’t with this provider.
Which is exactly what I was saying.
Any services used with a cloud provider should be treated as 1 entity, no matter how many geo-locations they claim your data is backed up to because they are a single point from which all those can be deleted.
When I was last involved in a companies backups, we had a fire safe in the basement, we had an off-site location with another fire safe & third copies would go off to another company that provided a backup storage solution so for all backups to be deleted, someone had to go right out of their way to do so. Not just a simple deletion of our account & all backups are wiped.
That company had the foresight to do something similar & it’s saved them. [edited - was on the tube when I wrote this and didnt see the autocorrect had put ‘comment’, not ‘company’]
It may have been more devastating if they relied exclusively on google for backups.
Which is why having any data, despite the number of backups, on a cloud provider shouldn’t be seen as off-site.
Only when it is truly outside their ecosphere and cannot be touched by them should it be viewed as such.
If that company didn’t have such resilience built into their backup plan, they would be toast with a derisory amount of compensation from Google.
I was reading a good blog the other day from a guy that runs his law form entirely from a FOSS stack from home & uses ‘hugo’ to generate flat html files from markdown for his blog & mkdocs for static files.
