The account of time and money ppl put into building and maintaining systems built with scripting languages has never made sense to me.

> Luckily this is JUST a local exploit

Its very rare for only one exploit to be used when a system is compromise. Multiple exploits will be used, one for entry, one for escalation of privileges, etc.

What were you using Discord for? Were you using it for more than personal voice chat with friends?

The problem Newman/postman have is the same for every GUI based testing application. They almost always produce non human readable config files. Making any kind of code review of such changes at best extremely painful and at worst impossible.

IMO any testing tool that does not save it's test classes in a human readable format is DoA.

I'm in the same boat, I do think we are in the minority. At least the market trends point that direction.

& I agree, I'm still rocking a pixel 4 because I can't bring myself to buy a new phone (when there really hasn't been any note worth advancements in years), especially when the avg phone these days are just mini tablets IMO.

As of now I am waiting for the Nothing Phone 2 announcement to see what I get. But this Zenphone 10 is now a contender.

Which state are these big US tech companies based in again? I may have missed it.

Designed with different goals absolutely, they have very different use cases that they individually accel at.

This however does not stop people from trying to use their one preferred language fer beyond it's focus area.

IMO one of the major turning points in a developers career is when they learn that finding the right tool for the problem is always the game you are playing. But this almost always takes learning this lesson the hard way by pushing a language one know very well past its breakpoint.

Let's not act like both companies haven't bought up every independent studio they can get their hands on. Hell Sony just bought Bungie in a multi billion dollar deal.

IMO the only of the big 3 that can truly be said to "built is library" is Nintendo.

1. "reasonable" is going to be different for every person. In this case it seems that the accepted "reasonable" telemetry to be on by default is None. 2. There will always be group of people who will never accept any level of telemetry.

There is really no reason to comment if your vote is to shut down the sub. The position is already known and well described. What would the posts be? "I agree"?

Vs if you want the sub to stay open and are against the shutdown, your position is not obvious, and has value in explaining why you are against it.

I don't disagree with you, but this does seem like a pretty obvious move for Reddit.

I don't think Reddit cares about appeasing moderators. Though with or without this move it will be very interesting to see what will happen to Reddit if there is a mass exodus of moderators. Moderation is IMO the hardest problem in social media, all other platforms (Twitter, Facebook, etc) are objectively terrible at it. Reddit on the other hand with moderation at the micro level vs macro level seems to work. But its 100% on the backs of charitable time from unpaid users. If that falls apart, I can see it having a devastating effect on Reddit as a whole.

Because they want user's off of 3rd party apps completely. Their API pricing is such that its not realistic for anyone to use it, that is entirely intentional.

They want to completely control the experience, so they an extract as much user data as possible to drive ads.

So long as user's are in 3rd party apps those 3rd parties control the relationship, which Reddit has deemed is unacceptable.
