An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card

That's the issue with all products and services being permissible only by service agreement.
You're always at the whims of the provider and as they start to implement more AI oversight the chances of a clerical error causing major disruptions in your workflow is a risk worth considering.
Stupid people do stupid things. Like putting all apples in one basket.
Sometimes the lesson that needs to be learned in order to appreciate backups is hard...

It’s taken me a few years but I think I’m bailable there on migrating all my services to my own domain
Why isn't this posted in Leopards Ate My Face?
... this person... trusted... all their files... on someone else's computer?
... they... trusted a giant... tech corporation... to... care about them?
How is this person a developer?
Normally I'd say "clearly this person has never worked in software developement"... but apparently they have, and are just very naive?
... Maybe he just somehow never once spoke with someone who worked with databases ... ???
I think you're forgetting that 90% of developers are barely competent at best.
If this upsets the reader and reader's a dev, remember I'm talking about the other people not you =)
Yus.
I develop software.
I was not upset at that.
I know I'm in the 10%.
Not even barely competent.
Hey I mean, honest self-awareness is far more respectable and admirable than blustering bullshit overconfidence and over inflated ego.
"If your cup is full then there is no more room. There is no more room for anything new to get in for any new idea, for any new feeling or thought and so you just have to continue to empty that cup. Continue to pour out and then you have the space for something new to come in and it does require awareness, it does require a desire to be present and to want to figure these sorts of things out.”

He also says that he has backups, so "lost" seems a little apocalyptic. Hard to feel too bad for someone who is that invested in a corporation though.
