There is no international Dog, the bounty hunter?

Private kidnapper services are pretty much a strictly US thing. And its insane that its legal over there.

And international bounty hunters will never be a thing because there are *serious* problems with juristiction.

If Dog turned up here in australia to grab someone, you could bet your bottom dollar the cops would be intercepting him hard and charging him with a conspiracy to kidnap someone.

Actual legal processes dont always succeed but they are *far* better than any of the alternatives.

The law is unconstitutional, as other similar laws have been found in the past. It hasn't been removed from the books only because nobody has been charged for it in a century, thus nobody has had a chance to challenge it on those grounds. The exception is for the military, which has the UMC which is allowed to have stricter restrictions on behavior.

But the life-ruining consequences of being divorced are quite outrageous

Not everyone is cut out for the marriage.

You're clearly not ready for it, and that's OK. Just move on with your life and maybe you'll get there someday.

YEah, none of this will happen. Let's assume they don't have a prenup (in which case the settlement of assets is dictated by that). The wife would get 50% of what was generated during their marriage at best. That may include the house, but its value would be subtracted from what she got in cash. Alimony... depends on a lot of circumstances, but it's more rare and generally a limited time. Plus we have no idea what the wife's income is, she may make as much or more.

Will he get a job again? Of course he will. Probably not as a CEO in the near term, but he'll absolutely get jobs where he isn't a visible presence for the company. And in a few years the CEO jobs will open again, because nobody is going to give a fuck a year from now.

As for going to jail- no. If the alimony (which is unlikely to exist) does exist and it is set high, he goes back to court to get it lowered. Because alimony is based on your income (with a few exceptions for example purposefully staying unemployed). Given that he was just publicly fired, his current income potential is very low, so any alimony would be matchingly low. There are formulas for these things.

So in other words, your just spouting misogynistic bullshit.

... what? :D

Well, at any rate, infidelity is the only real broad societal issue that features here in this story.

I don't think there has ever (2025? 1925? 1625?) been much expectation of privacy, when canoodling amongst a crowd of thousands ...

I work for a startup made-good, bought by a very large company you have heard of if you live in the US.

The switched us to Office/Outlook about a year ago.

Shit still doesn't work.

My only use of word is to format docs for the business types after I write them, so I don't really care about it. I mean, it is shitty, but whatever, I'm a Unix guy, I'm used to shitty UI.

What does bug me is Outlook. I get invites to meetings after they happen, mail gets randomly delayed for no apparent reason while I get other mail. And the UI does matter more there - they calendar will randomly refresh back to "today" when I'm trying to look at future things. The whole application randomly decides something is wrong and stops working until a restart.

And then there's the freakish "web" vs executable split.

Lots of Excel features don't work on the web, and apparently I use all of them. So after I share something and have to edit it again, I have to use this eunuch version that constantly tells me I'm doing it wrong.

Not too long from now I'll get the locked-down laptop from them, and not have any option to not use them. But that's fine, I expect to be laid off not long after that.

Unfortunately its becoming increasingly harder to find good software that isnt some sort of bullshit cloud service. Hell even half the open source packages out there are being munted into some sort of lovecraftian monstrosity thats half "open source linux package" and half shitful "cloud ai blockchain buzzword service".

Yep. They "added some language" (god I feel like theres something resembling a pun in here, but I'm not sure what. maybe theres a dictionary that can help me), that lets them delete features without refunding.

THAT however might not survive long in front of a judge. Particularly with Euro, UK or Australian customers. Hell even a US judge might find that obnoxious behavior and strike it.

If a judge decides that nobody in their right mind would agree to a contract that says "We can just kind of decide not to give you this thing you paid for" then chances are he'll decide that wasnt what the user agreed to and order a refund.

So yeah, good luck with that shit dictionary dot com

Oh I dont know. My workmates think I'm a goddamn horrible monster in code reviews.

That said, in 30 years in the job, you get a nose for that sort of things, cos god knows if theres something stupid you can do in code, chances are I've already done it and learned the hard way.

You could, you know, read the code and find out if theres any nasties there. Popular open source projects with malware tend to get caught out pretty quickly, in timeframes measured in minutes, not hours.

Yeah I'm regularly doing that. use inspect to find the DIV or whatever thats sticking the stupid paywall crap over the page. And then look at the body(etc) tags to find something like overflow:none or possibly a class tag that freezes the page. Works about 50% of the time in my experience.

Information wants to be free.

It was a bizarely hypocritical claim from the Kremlin since their previouslty favorite mercenary group was literally run by a neo-nazi. And pretty much any military anywhere in the world is going to have members of pretty much any political affiliation you could imagine, so yeah, that was a stupid accusation.

Regarding college kids discovering multiculturalism as more of a threat to free speech than Trump and Musk is... amazing.

You expect that nonsense from outright Nazis, Musk bros and Talebangicals.

This country had a good run, but it does appear to be time to leave.

SCO was indeed the worst, but are thoroughly dead as a result of their aggressive stupidity.. They didn't even have any customers to fuck over, so they decided to fuck over non customers. Thats end-boss scumbaggery.
