    @phenomlab well I hope that a better company steps up and puts in a higher bid. If I had the money I would buy TikTok. That platform is a money makers dream. So many people on it now er or was.

    I think MS will just mess it up like they do everything else. Hell, they can’t even get their own software to work correctly, how would they even keep that one up and running.

    @phenomlab this is good. I see this happen a lot. It is unclear because usually it is a group talking and going over things and trying to plan according to the knowledge that they have with what is working and not working now. And yet some time down the road, something new comes out, something changes and now what was possible isn’t and vise versa. I have seen these kinds of situations, and I encourage taking very good notes and making them so they are always accessible to you/your team so that way a search can be done and the notes appear and you know exactly why, what, how and where the decision was made. When I say you, I mean anyone in a position to make decisions that bring about change in whatever area it might be.

    @Madchatthew I can’t see it happening either to be honest. It’s one of the most mature programming languages there is, and given the figures, it’s clear to see is not going anywhere anytime soon.

    @Panda said in Ross Ulbricht pardoned by Trump: So @phenomlab are you arguing that a ‘Double life +40’ sentence is what you would have been in support of, i.e. no release at any stage?? Yes, exactly. Let’s not forget the reason for the sentence in the first place, plus the fact that he created Silk Road with the intent for it to be used for nefarious purposes, and stood to make a lot of money from it. He fully intended to take advantage of the profit being returned at the expense of those people who died, and couldn’t care less about the demise of others as long as he was able to make money.

    @phenomlab said in TikTok fined £12.7m for misusing children’s data: Just another reason not to use TikTok. Zero privacy, Zero respect for privacy, and Zero controls in place. https://news.sky.com/story/tiktok-fined-12-7m-for-data-protection-breaches-12849702 The quote from this article says it all TikTok should have known better. TikTok should have done better They should have, but didn’t. Clearly the same distinct lack of core values as Facebook. Profit first, privacy… well, maybe. Wow, that’s crazy! so glad I stayed away from it, rotten to the core.
