Wasn't their last spat just a distraction from larger news?
Wonder what they're "look at the birdy-ing" about now.

Yep, they are explicitly not banks or traditional financial institutions and therefore have none of the standard protections. They don't only lack the protections of credit cards, but also of banks in general.
There are countless stories of people losing access to over $10k in their PayPal account with no option to appeal because PayPal decided their Twitch revenue looked too much like money laundering. Or because a single transaction involved a card later reported stolen. Or... just because. Some people aren't even given a reason.
hiss!

Especially from Gartner of all places. Maybe this will finally start tempering the hype in the executives.
Panel #2 makes for an excellent reaction image on its own.
It's been hours now (and a very busy day), but I swear that half of that comment (including that section) wasn't there when I commented regarding safer seas.
But there's no mark showing the comment has been edited either.
Scurvy must be eating me brain.
Good news! No need to wait for unofficial servers. Over a year ago they opened a feature called safer seas where you can play without PvP!

100% true, and a great counterpoint.

That's well beyond even power user (imo) and into the forensic analysis realm though, where you should probably be using dedicated tools. I'm pretty sure there are still ways around this, ways to back up and restore the ACLs, but I haven't ran into a need to not touch the modified timestamp in the decade or so I've been doing tech work professionally nor in the decade before as simply a young enthusiast. There's still ways around that timestamp too, and arguments to be made that adjusting the ACL is touching metadata rather than the file itself.
I do what I can to stay out of ACLs at my workplace.
Windows ACLs are far more complicated than they have any right to be, and file perms are generally far simpler on Linux.
I don't see how these cases could be prevented even with regulation. It would take a massive change in how these things work on a fundamental level.

They want all the potential benefits for themselves with none of the responsibility for any downsides, while simultaneously preventing everyone else from using it due to potential downsides.
I'm a hard worker and a good person that can be trusted with special privileges. When I use tools like AI notetakers to skip a meeting, I'm maximizing the value of my hours to the company by leveraging cutting edge technology to enable me to be in two places at once.
You're a lazy fool who needs to be prevented from making mistakes for the good of the company. When you use tools like AI trascription, you're trying to delegate your critical job duties to an untested, unproven technology gimmick that can't actively engage with the meeting and acts as a de-facto blocker to any business critical decisions being made, negatively affecting company impact and accomplishment of corporate goals while creating a chilling effect towards effective interdepartmental collaboration.
I get all the benefits with none of the responsibility. You get called to account for every potential stumbling block, real.or imagined.
