Comment Re:Why (Score 1) 11

If you used atlassian bitbucket server(self hosted) then they are forcing everyone to the cloud. The only options to keep using bitbucket are to keep using server without support(works for now but maybe won’t at some point), or migrate to the cloud version. I was looking for good alternatives but haven’t found anything yet that would be as good.

Our company just migrated to bitbucket cloud and we have it locked to only one IP address which is that of our internal network’s public facing ip address. So at least it should be nearly impossible for someone to access if they’re not on the company network.

Comment Re:China's Vaccines Work Better (Score 1) 311

I'd not take that as 100% true as the CCP is like 90% lies. However I do want to see more traditional vaccines developed and more widely deployed. It might help with the hesitancy and the insane distrust of mRNA technology. If there's a traditional vaccine type then the conspiracy nut jobs can just take that and it won't re-write their DNA as they claim the mRNA ones do. There is likely an advantage to the long lasting immunity as well when you get exposed to the entire virus rather than just the spike protein part.

Yeah just like those auto companies are setting me up to kill my self by selling me parts to fix the brakes on my car right? Some competent people do their own car repairs and some competent people will fix their own Apple devices. Just as some people will attempt to fix their own car and screw something up in the process.

The lawn care company that takes care of the condos behind us is here twice a week using these annoyingly loud leaf blowers to blow grass clippings for 2-3 hours at a time. I don't know why they can't just use mulching mowers or use mowers that collect the clippings but it's quite annoying.

Solar panel output degrades over their life span but they still work for a long time.
For example at this website you can buy used solar panels for extremely cheap. Depending on you use case you might be fine with having a larger array for way cheaper vs paying for new panels and getting the same output but in a smaller space

My sister in law is a vet tech. She had one client who tested positive for sars-cov-2 and the client had multiple cats all showing signs of respiratory illness at the same time. I donâ(TM)t think itâ(TM)s coincidence that multiple cats all showed signs of infection when the owner has Covid-19. Itâ(TM)s anecdotal at this point but I donâ(TM)t think itâ(TM)s fair to say that cats and maybe dogs wonâ(TM)t have issues from the virus.

I believe the quick action is based on the fact that people were posting violent comments that may pose an imminent threat to human life. Apple specifically asked them to impose moderation to comply with the app store content rules, but Parler decided to not do it in a way that would actually work(relying on community moderation as one system). Apple has not banned the app, it's a temporary removal until they decide they can implement moderation to comply with the app store rules which have been around for something like 8 years. Parler can create their own website if they don't want to comply with the app store rules. Then they are free to do whatever they want regarding choosing to moderate the content. Just because the app is pulled right now does not prevent them from still running(once they get a different hosting provider that doesn't care)

Let me ask you this. If Parler was a bunch of racist muslims that were posting the exact same stuff, including using it to plan violence agains american citizens, would you think any differently? I bet all of america would be for closing it down and banning it. However, it seems to be mostly white people doing it, so of course it's not 100% hated by americans.
