That's not true, copy and paste hasn't fully atrophied for most people yet.

FWIW you can just about always pick them up will-call. Ticketmaster will tell you this is impossible, but the venue always has a way around it, for in case you lose/drop your phone, etc. And it helps reinforce to the venue that ticketmaster is not perfect.

Call the venue directly to verify ahead of time.

How expensive are GLP-1s again?

Not all businesses have the same requirements. My company jumped ship months ago. We didn't consider switching to have significant cost, we did consider staying to have noticeable opportunity cost. Easy decision.

What? No. The people that stay are the ones that don't care, that doesn't mean no one cares. That's a selection effect.

The people that care left months or years ago. I'm one of them. It was really easy, Github doesn't offer anything special.

Try and run a Pagerduty with the same level of attention to detail as Github. Far fewer people use Pagerduty casually. That Github has casual users and lazy users does not mean fault tolerance and high availability are 'completely irrelevant'.

It's to get people used to the idea without giving enough surface area to fight it socially. Same thing happened with the body scanners at airports in the US, now with facial recognition at airports, and a number of other privacy concerns. It's a well-worn and proven playbook.

At first it's a trial, experimental. Then it's standard, but optional and with incentives to do it. Then it's standard but you can opt out and there's lots of signs to tell you how. Slowly they make it more uncomfortable to opt out, and the signs disappear, and they berate you for trying it. Eventually it is no longer legal to opt out.

Any one step is hard to fight back against without looking like a loon to people who don't care about this kind of thing, and over the course of a few years you can take people gently through a process that, had it happened suddenly, would never have succeeded due to pushback.

The rest of the world seems to believe that if the government doesn't mandate it, it doesn't happen.

There are more than the two bad choices for behavior here.

It's not "no matter what they do" it's really that everything they do is wrong and there really are much better alternatives than the choices they continue to make.

I run self-hosted email for more than 80 domains across three VPSs, almost all of which are one-offs or joke domains and then a handful of old and new personal and business domains.

No deliverability problems. The issues with self-hosting email are drastically overblown.
