Yeah, embedded systems for military applications is exactly the same as consumer software. You’re right.

No amount of in-house testing is going to catch everything that can be experienced on a nearly-infinite amount of hardware/software configurations that are tested once a large userbase gets a hold of a product.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I haven’t and likely can’t think of a good solution to handling the scenarios you’re talking about. They are good questions that someone smarter than me should address. However, to use those scenarios to completely admonish advertising platforms for blatantly obvious scams is asinine. “Well, what if a legitimate business starts scamming people?” should have little relevancy to the question of “Should we accept this ad from a user advertising that they’re going to double your money if you give them access to your financial accounts?”

I’m not saying it’s simple or quick to solve, but there is very obvious low-hanging fruit that could be dealt with but is somehow not because these platforms aren’t held accountable whatsoever. It has to start somewhere.

Uhhh maybe they should find the time to do that then? How is “we don’t have the time” a valid excuse? Either hire more staff to do so, or sell fewer ads.

Oh yeah. Marlboro Reds and black coffee got me through some rough fucking mornings in my early 20s.

It makes food taste like shit and by extension you want to eat less. At least, that was my experience with smoking for years. When I quit I gained like 40 lbs.

I think you’re severely underestimating how much time, effort, and resources game development takes. Especially when the devs aren’t doing it full-time.

Tolon is an absolute shining gem of food in Fort Wayne and I’m thoroughly amused seeing it mentioned here. I’ve never had the burger but the duck fat frites are always great.

Well, we have literally no insight into this so it’s kind of strange to speculate about it with nothing other than “these pictures exist.” I’d rather save my outrage (and I’m using that term very loosely in regards to this whole matter) for actual problems that have been demonstrated.

If they want to and voluntarily do it, what is the issue? I can’t imagine anyone is being forced to.

Classic over explaining to cover up a lie.

I never send anything other than “I’ll be out of the office today” for every PTO notice.

Your passive-aggressiveness is very off-putting.

With that being said, it’s not FREE to use if I’m getting ads, I’m just paying with something other than money. I’ll continue to use one of the many alternatives.

The Sync dev is currently charging $20 USD to remove ads, or $100 for a lifetime subscription to “Ultra” which includes some additional features. I have to say, the app is really nice, but the dev is out of his mind.

Oh hell no. Permanently drunk it is.
