Yeah, despite the obvious attempt at “US bad” I agree with this dude… we need to go after every large corporation regardless of where it’s based. Implement consequences that’ll actually hurt these entities rather than just slaps on the wrist. Hold any member of the board or in any management position as personally responsible.

If it’s referred to as an “industry” it’ll eventually become problematic. It’s a shame companies and figureheads will never be held accountable for wrong-doings or misleading the public when acting as an “authority”.

Gave the kickstarter page a read and well… it sounds like it’s going to be similar to Starfield - vast but shallow. Unless they put in the effort to go around after all the procedural stuff for each of the “thousands of towns” and introduce bits to eliminate the cookie-cutter experience.

Genuinely hope it turns into something great, but it’s current competition points towards trends that don’t bode well unless this developer is willing to take risks.

“We have no idea why, so here’s our woo-woo explanation”.

No worries, it was more a concern over flavor than whether there was “salt” in it.

To answer my own question, after OP mentioned brand, I looked it up. The Kirkland Organic No-Salt seasoning does not have any salt/salt-substitute in it, according to the ingredients list.

Contains onion, garlic, carrot, black pepper, red bell pepper, tomato, orange peel, parsley, bay, thyme, basil, celery, lemon peel, oregano, “savory”, mustard seed, cumin, marjoram, coriander, cayenne pepper, citric acid and rosemary.

Not sure what “savory” is.

As reasonable the concerns are… it seems like there’s quite a bit of fearmongering over software and hardware that haven’t even really gotten into the mainstream yet.

Does the no-salt seasoning use a “replacement” like potassium (iodide?) or is it no salt at all?

I used to blame my cousin, as she has a raging drug addiction and does shady crap like steal people’s credit cards/checks and it was only after she had been over that I had noticed. But nope, still going despite time and resets. If I knew a way of pulling login info off the TV, I’d probably share it, because hell, why not.

I’m thankful Roku has had data breaches. Mostly because I have a Roku TV that was somehow compromised and now, even after a couple of years and several full factory resets, whoever used my throwaway account signed up for all the streaming services at the highest tier. Hard to be mad when I havent had to pay for anything.

And no, before anyone says anything, it’s not putting my home network at risk, as it’s just the Roku account that’s compromised. Nothing tied to me personally, not even a card/address on the account, so I just chalk it up to “as long as it keeps working, Im not worrying about it”.

Isn’t the “find-replace” mistake like… one of the first ones you come across learning to become a developer?

Seeing this statement makes me wonder - would Proton’s ecosystem be considered a juicier target for data, with thinking along the lines of “people adopt proton to have more privacy. Are they more likely to transmit more sensitive data because they think it’s more private?”

Or, just leave them. Hit them with the mower and mulch them right in. The leaves I mean. The insects are hopefully on vacation at the time.

Dig Dug, Battlezone (the wireframe “3d” tank game), and C&C Red Alert 2. Those 3 will always live in my head rent-free, and they’re more than welcome to.
