That logo design though, 🔥 fire fire fire

This is such a great way to look at the situation from a different angle. This is actually insightful.

Wow. For real ???

You learn something new everyday.

But yeah, I never saw divers getting stunned/ killed even when diving near whales.

It could be that it never happened, but that’s like such a high variance to have never happened.

Spock on a chicken on a rock. 😅

Yeah, so what ?

Do you know how Gnu / Linux makes money ?

At some point it is not about individuals but big corporations that need their services, and they buy them.

They should have built their business model as per their financial requirements from the outset then, if that was the problem for them.

But that should not justify or excuse them for doing things that are immoral and unethical.

Sounds more like a greedy approach than anything.

If I was an ethical and moral CEO of Google, and sought it costly to maintain such a huge infrastructure for millions of people around the world that are using their services freely, I would have made measures to shut them down or close them, instead of maliciously inserting things and harvesting stuff from them.

Then if they have such data, then they should be held accountable and responsible in the future for any damages as a result of their work processes, and that happened many times historically speaking. And any crime that happens, they either offer evidence or be complicit to hiding fugitives. Which alone is a process that will cost them alot, just having to do it, and cooperate w them any governmental party.

If I get in trouble in the future, I sure would love to have Google assist me in proving that I was innocent, by providing evidence through data that it has. But would they be willing to do so?

This is very interesting in a way to think about, as it shows where their weakness lies in their business model, and where they are strong.

But it goes to show how monopolistic they are, and, if anything, neglectful to basic human rights. Where I’m from, privacy is a human right. So there are many dimensions to take into consideration here - but ultimately they are only a small aspect of this whole complex dimension to boot.

Ultimately, it is their fault for not setting up their business model to meet up with their own financial requirements. And not ours.

So then we shall propose to let them in at our own terms ?

That’s quite reasonable to me, and less radical in my humble opinion.

But I also see how one may arrive at such a conclusion, as all parties may not be as welling to accept such terms and conditions, or even be able to make such terms and conditions enforceable.

One instance may accept favours from meta, and then it spreads out uncontrollably… And then … Its gets more complex.

Perhaps the safest option is to limit their present shares to a maximum of 40% in our servers. That is, they cannot be allowed to have more than a set amount of API exposure to the feeds - and they must allow us to reciprocate, like wise, by being able to have access to theirs by more than 40%. The value of assets can surely be established and estimated par costs of maintenance and OA, etc…

Still not convincing me to open an account with epic games. Lol. Maybe I’m lazy … Or don’t have time !?

There are teachings I have read/ discovered through YouTube (can’t remember exactly where) about the reasons and the philosophy behind moving to docker, or having it as a state machine.

Have you considered looking into dockers alternatives, also ?

Here is 1 of the sources that may give you insights:

https://www.cloudzero.com/blog/docker-alternatives/

– There has been some concerns over docker’s licensing and, as such, some people have started preferring solutions such as podman and containerd.

Both are good in terms of compatibility and usability, however I have not used them extensively.

Nonetheless, I am currently using docker for my own hyperserver [Edit2: oops, I meant hypervisor ✓, not hyperserver] purposes. And I am also a little concerned about the future of docker, and would consider changing sometime in the future.

[Edit1: I am using docker because it is easy to make custom machines, with all files configurations, and deploy them that way. It is a time saver. But performance wise, I would not recommend it for major machines that contain major machine processes and services. And that’s just the gist of it].
