Do you hand out the keys for free? If not you are still punishing people who have the moral high ground.

Did anyone force you to use either of those to complete your education? No? What's your point again?

The security of their personal devices on which they must install Microsoft spyware and accept it's terms, before being allowed to complete their education.

The school should be providing phones if the students require them. I strongly believe 2fa is important, but it is even more important to acknowledge that not everyone owns the gadgets that you do. And they may not want to. So if a service requires 2fa they should also supply the necessary hardware to all of their users.

Nah, I think you might be. Most people I know have locked themselves out once or twice.

As always the law is about intent. It doesn't care about your technical arguments.

I'd like copy-on-write hardlinks, or deduplicated blocks, that are made automatically on a schedule as to not incur the constant overhead of dedup, but still reap some of the benefits for archival.

Guy has made 226M in a year. He won't have to work another day in his life. What reputational risk are you talking about?

Why would he possibly need 226M/year? Believe it or not, most of the world manages fine with (much) less than 1M/year.

Perhaps I misunderstood you? What did you mean with

I assumed you meant that people will be welcomed because they are a blank slate that can be written upon by those seeking to influence them.

Re:Google Colab has started banning Stable Diffusion WebUI users

Are they banning Google accounts for this?
Not sure why I got downvoted from this. The link shows the message:
> You may be executing code that is disallowed, ant his may restrict your ability to use Colab in the future.
Is this restricted because your google account gets deactivated or something more reasonable?
