It’s like watching an online version of Brexit, without the referendum

Users are funneled towards actions exploited by both politics and greed. Many have no choice.

Your very welcome!!

I design systems similar to this; in my mindset the competency and privacy are the same.

There is simply no way anyone competent or knowledgeable would have made this series of mistakes in good faith. And it’s very hard for someone not knowledgeable about the tech to understand the magnitude.

It’s rather like designing and selling car with bad breaks, and your car gets into an accident which could have been avoided had the breaks worked. But nobody could test the breaks fully?

Sounds like a long term issue that will not resolve itself. The only relevant advice anyone can give here is tips about job searching or sympathy.

You have my sympathy

Indeed, how can anyone know?

I think failures like this will be readily apparent, within months after launch, to technically minded people only. But only if people have summaries in their news feeds or know how to research the opinions of others…

Perhaps non technical people should wait at least a year or two of before trying a new service? By then the worst of them will have crashed or be found out.

This will not be the last time it happens. With llm coding, I think there will be dozens similar to this in a few years

It is too bad all these people trusted a bad company which cared little about them or their privacy.

I agree with that other comment which argues to set it as the users expect. I think the 1 based is logical here

Yes, although I still worked on my own projects.

I have drifted from professional to other for many years.

Now that I have coded for two generations now, I often think I should have chosen some main occupation that was not a sit down job.

But it is what it is, and I will probably program more than anything else for the rest of my working life

Been coding for decades: burned out several times. I always return later after other jobs

I think the most job satisfaction I ever had was demolishing a house, another good thing for me was delivering pizzas.

I use templeOS btw

This is nothing to worry about

That does not have to be a contradiction

When it gets to 7%, is that when there is more malware designed for Linux desktop ?
