    1) This is a legit point although i don't see Valve as a big problem in that area. They invented lootboxes but refused to be as bad as others who followed them. Today with valve th…

    Isn't that like saying there can never be a language with safe concurrency since the code could interact with C code that segfaults? I dunno this kinda reminds me of the 10/10 Rust…

    Thanks for making me check. Did not know this: "Offline Vault sessions will expire after 30 days. Except for mobile client applications, which will expire after 90 days." But for m…

    Me and some friends have each been hosting vaultwarden casually for years now. What problem do you see? I mean if the Server goes down and gets completely corrupted, worst case, al…

    Aren't you agreeing with him? He pushed the boulder up the hill, thus he is responsible and liable for what happens. He is the author of the work of pushing the boulder up the hill…

    No it is not your point. You're just arguing about a strawman that holds both of those contradictory positions.

    Insurance and worker rights probably takes care of that here. What is it that personal injury lawyers usually do?
