I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.
Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.
Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.
The developers got hired by a company which is the latter.
As for your data, you can make a decision after reading this: https://blog.omnivore.app/p/details-on-omnivore-shutting-down
TIL there exists a thingamajig called Chegg.
Looking at some of the news and discussion surrounding the game, it is clear that there are significant financial transactions involved.
The game is also four years old, well beyond the stage of mere interest checks.
It could be argued that the hack was carried out without a specific goal or knowledge of what data might be gained (as a display of hacking prowess, for instance). However, in this case, it’s clear why this particular game was targeted.
Whether or not the users “deserved” it is a separate discussion; one where I would agree with you. Many of the people involved may have been too trusting or gullible in their investments.
The comment you are responding to had meant that a bad actor can cross check other breached datasets for the emails and usernames leaked from Earth2.
Since people reuse not just passwords but emails too, one may get access to other accounts of the impacted users, potentially even to accounts which have not been breached.
My previous workplace did the same thing around 2020 with the words whitelist and blacklist and some other words.
It was around the same time when there was news about GitHub moving from master to main/mainline as the default Git branch.
Lot of knee jerk reaction here, to the point of not donating and abandoning the greatest collective effort made on the Internet.
The specific suspended page directly relates to an ongoing lawsuit, where WikiMedia is the defendant.
Also, Streisand effect much? :D
If recent news about Antarctica turning green more rapidly is to go by, one might just find fruits there soon.
“… as of August 2024” is literally front and centre in the image.
I never found that to be a problem. In fact, I find the thumbnails distracting. But I can see it being a problem for others.
The rare occasion I work with image files, I just open it to identify, if I haven’t already named it properly.
It also helps that most of my workflows are not image-heavy.
For me, desktop UI peaked at Windows 98.
Installing the 95/98 GTK theme by B00merang is one of the first things I do after a fresh installation of Linux Mint.
I do try other themes once in a blue moon. But I soon realise it is a downgrade and revert back. The last theme I tried was the Arc theme back in mid-late 2010s.
Love it when software behaves in a non-deterministic manner.
