They did. If I remember right it actually started with them kissing the Google ring first.

It worked on my box!

To be fair a certain security company was in global news for exactly that same send it behavior. Why waste precious resources on multiple instances? Investors hate waste. 😅

This. They provide outstanding insights and the articles they provide alongside the data are quite good.

It wouldn’t. It isn’t.

Dark humor has its place and purpose. You aren’t offended and if you are- get some thicker skin or don’t participate. We don’t need to sterilize the world to protect your delicate “sensibilities.”

Strange- the very tone of this thread is suggesting that the HA developers choice in how they distribute their platform is “incorrect” by your assertions. Further you seem to disagree with explanations provided as to why those choices were likely made.

Dismissing those statements and observations do not make them incorrect. Nothing I stated is dramatic: it is an observation and a comment on an increasing trend popping up around several projects. This particular topic and your responses within it align with that trend. My closing statement was directed at that. You are welcome to not like it but resorting to insults is a bit childish.

Honestly I really don’t think I am.

I’ve seen a number of topics over the last few weeks that are framed as this evil developer is doing a sinister thing…. And for what it’s worth I read the “clickbait” and then did my due diligence and followed the links / git responses etc and lo and behold every. single. issue. was stemming from that community.

We aren’t reddit. This isn’t 4chan. If your community is getting cut off because, frankly, it’s being unreasonable… don’t come here looking for a personal army.

Apparently the daily mail took your advice ;)

It seems to me they chose to provide a platform that vastly simplifies the installation of their software and maintenance of its code from a debugging standpoint. This seems perfectly reasonable. This appears to bother a particular community who feel entitled enough to demand multiple developers cater to their distribution’s needs. Shit needs to stop.

The “messenger” seems to have a lot of bias they are parading around as an objective truth.

From what I’ve read the “white knights” you appear to be referring to are pretty clearly either developers or people with programming experience. To my eye they appear to be pretty level headed and on point in their observations.

But that’s hard…

Agreed. If an operating system I don’t support for my software was redirecting its users with issues to my front door I’d cut them off too if they didn’t want to help. Two way street friends. If they wanted to vilify me over it I’d happily terminate communication with them.

From what I gather here you have a particular flavor of a distribution that does not work with a foss piece of software. This is not uncommon.

Developers have finite time and energy to put into the development of their platform and likely spend that time supporting their existing user base. Just because you took the time to learn esperanto and think it is a superior language does not mean everyone else must cater to your whims.

Based on your statements you seem to “understand” nix… Instead of demanding they cater to your needs: Perhaps you should undertake the burden of forking, modifying the code, and supporting the vast ecosystem of addons then. Surely it would be a trivial matter.

Yes that would be why caddyshack was over the top and funny.

I dunno the video seems to be of a groundskeeper just doing his normal rounds.

Coulda been worse… in a very wet … “I hope we wanted to paint that wall” sort of way.

They probably just flagged you for not being in the normal environment. For all their bravado their detection is dogshit. I’ve had issues with them just flagging something over a VM and… flagging a batch file closing their launcher. I wish I was joking.

Should be higher up. I knew instinctively it wasn’t the US for reasons … but I did kinda hope.
