  It was having to use the marketplace, and seeing the deliberate control of data that ensured the highly inflated costs were paid.

  I do not know if they ever allowed a full export of data: but what data was entered was used like a hostage later, blocking exit or integration with other tool chains.

  For anyone reading this who are considering this set of services: run.

  Having been stuck for years in the atlassan ecosystem, changing my opinion from cool, this is nice to … burn it to the ground.

  This is interesting and I hope it takes off

  • Trump — I wanna buy it
  • China — no
  • Trump — I’ll do something bad
  • China — here is x million, go away and come back later
  • Trump — yay
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will Texas Be an AI Powerhouse from its Energy Mega Campus?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are so many things wrong with the situation in the article.

  I don’t want any misunderstandings, if I were a corrupt mess of a politician who would receive money from this, I would love it.

  But as a small Texas citizen, I just see less money going to my community later, and worry about the increasing corruption that is more and more upfront

  I wonder how many members of the Texas government enrich themselves from this.

  I will also hazard a blind guess and think this will be run like a Ponzi scheme

  I’m guessing the Supreme Court will eventually rule that it’s an American right to crash sites with poorly designed AI bots, resolving this quandary.

  To opt out, do I have to pay the a subscription ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube will “protect free expression” by pulling back on content moderation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hoping for the best, expecting attacks on science while still demonetizing videos talking about climate change in geography

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting your own media considered harmful according to YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it can also be seen as breaking anti monopoly laws ( or equivalent) ; many people depend on these services to get free stuff, but these are the tools to create competitors.

  Setting up a large video stream service is definitely different from the above tools. But small interconnected services in their thousands are probably the stuff of nightmares for any self respecting you tube middle management type

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta plans to replace humans with AI to assess privacy and societal risks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That, and top management really does not care about the issues this will “help”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xAI to pay Telegram $300M to integrate Grok into the chat app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like a virus, infecting each system as it can

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit will tighten verification to keep out human-like AI bots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Slightly amusing because most of the active users are perhaps AI powered bots now, run by Reddit.

  If that is the case, then it seems to me that this is a repeat of the locking out of third parties, done by the api change was two years ago, but for now for those that use bots?

  It’s too early to say it, and I hope it never comes to pass, but I hope somebody made future contingency plans to transfer this to another country.

  My internet service blocked this site: says it was a threat

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google adds end-to-end email encryption to Gmail⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just see vendor lock-in. A closed source solution?

  End to end encryption already exists for email without everyone using the same service. Using open source solutions.

  How many services has google canceled through the years? What happens to email send by this when that alphabet department looses a turf war? Unrelated : how can anyone reasonably trust this company to keep secrets?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit adds new tools, including Post Insights and Rules Check, which lets users see if what they are posting potentially goes against a subreddit's rules and will suggest communities for your post.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Strange they can only introduce new user tools now, for this. I thought they were absolutely incapable of innovation or improving any if its service

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Booking.com says typos giving strangers access to private trip info is not a bug⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not familiar with the site, but perhaps this issue could have been solved by only allowing friends to book other friends.

  Then friend lists are built by mutual consent only?
