the government does, and what they do with it is harshly regulated.

the TSA is part of DHS but operates outside of DHS and can do whatever it wants with your information if you give it freely. it’s one of the reasons how that facial recognition apparatus works. it was developed by a contractor to USDOD and delivered to DHS for the TSA to use on the public.

DHS cannot investigate the general public without probable cause, TSA can. so what information they gleam from the general public is then shared with DHS, DOD, and sold back to the contractor as a part of the delivered contract. what they do with it afterwards is entirely up to them.

both accepting and rejecting the scan is harmful to your privacy. by accepting you are now indexed in a database and that information can be used in multiple government sanctioned investigations. by rejecting it, you are flagged as a concern and your profile is then processed through and algorithm to identify your threat level.

the TSA are doing more than just looking at your passport when you reject. they’re waiting on that threat level response to identify if you should be taken for further questioning.

conservative Americans be like

it’s a data collection point.

can’t scan AI recognition on your passport, so they get your consent this way and with an updated photo.

it’s the only thing that makes sense if they’re taking photos and checking passports.

yeah, r*st.

now you know why

if it’s citrix you used to be able to modify the local connection config file to allow access to the clipboard regardless of what the server allowed.

been a few years since I needed to do it, but it was possible at one time.

that’s so easy! /s

technically any vehicle can be remotely shut down if you’re high enough on a wanted list.

just ask Ayman al-Zawahiri, wait… you can’t.

I got a Note 2 at launch and was showing it off at work to people interested in it.

someone asked about the background and where I got it. said I took it and left it at that.

took the pic of the top of my bathroom trashcan while dumping some toxic waste.

pic is the same trashcan now, like me it’s a bit dented, dirty, and doesn’t open as well as it used to. but, it still works.

I’m keeping it just long enough to harass his ass. I’ll be all over him like Joe Biden on an ice cream cone, or Elon Musk on Trumps dick.

congrats, you’ve had a far better experience than I have. just because you haven’t had the joys of experiencing Jira in its true form doesn’t negate the atrocious UX many others have. if Jira was the perfect product that you claim, then why is there so much vitrol and hate for the product at all?

I started my career as a big supporter of Jira. It made the work so easy to manage and report on. then sometime in 2020 an update came through that absolutely shit on my already over-burdened workload.

I used to deal with the sprint problem every kickoff, and yes I did select migrate to new sprint. no it doesn’t work when the process breaks in the middle and doesn’t recover or rollback. now I don’t handle kickoff, so not my problem anymore but I witness it happen literally every kickoff.

I also used to deal with the WYSIWYG issue daily. now I don’t post updates to cards outside of one-liners like “check the logs at this time” or “fixed upstream in xy branch”.

I get why people share their hate online because misery loves company, but I just don’t get why anyone would waste so much effort on defending it. example; I use spaces over tabs. lots of hate either way online. never have I defended or argued over one vs the other. it’s a preference much like Jira. forced to use it at work and have to make the best of it.

so, why be a white knight for Atlassian if you’re not employed by them? and if you are employed by them, why be so dismissive about the issues brought up?

I got a degree in chemical engineering at Poop U.

Jira is great software if you ignore all the insufferable bugs in it that Atlassian ignores just to make their on-prem option so clunky you have no choice but to use their SAAS offering. I know, I know, “ThEy DrOpPeD sUpPoRt AlReAdY!”

ever had to rebuild a sprint because Jira failed to properly migrate the old cards over to the new one, but instead throws them all into the backlog randomly and now you have to hunt them down over the next hour?

how about when you’re writing an update to a card and you’re two paragraphs in with log examples and the UI decides to dump your entire content when you accidentally click outside the wysisyg?

But how can I forget the worst one! have you ever had your session timeout while you’re writing a detailed bug report with screenshots, logs, and example data, and when you finally submit it you lose EVERYTHING because you need to login again and you can’t go back?

I have, and you know what, I’ll still use Jira because even the best trash can be better than the worst trash.

yeah, I’ll take a fat dump on shitty products all day long because the negligence of Atlassian product development is abhorrent and deserves to be called out.

is this this same repair manual they follow in the store?

you know, the one where they break something else and/or claim it was your fault and refuse to repair it and only give it back to you in pieces.

I absolutely love how this implies that the team is happy before going to Jira.

so not only can Atlassian not write software, they can’t develop a usable product, and they can’t even market it without insinuating how shitty it is.
