Without reading the case as well, the arguments in your linked article are that the person attending was there for fright, and the analogy given is similar to someone suffering a baseball related injury at a baseball game. Similarly, ski resorts are not liable for ski related injuries unless the resort acted negligently.

As a general theme park fan, I have my problems with Six Flags operations and generally believe they operate rides negligently, maintain the park negligently, and cut costs where they really should not. That being said, having been to many of their fright fest attractions, the staff are very cautious of crossing any unsafe lines. It makes their Halloween attractions relatively tame compared to the competition. Specifically to this case, they explicitly make it clear that you can’t touch the scare actors and they can’t touch you. So choosing to run when someone gets close is a personal decision, coupled with the point of attending an explicit fright attraction, the ruling makes perfect sense to me.

Agreed. The concept of judging vehicle quality by number of recalls is severely flawed for this very reason. My Subaru Impreza has had a number of recalls for a variety of trivial things, but I’ve had only one actual issue with it in 65k miles and have spent relatively little on maintenance. Comparing that to the Audi A4 I had before this car which required maybe one recall in similar mileage but I was constantly fixing major items from leaks, broken drive related components, etc.

Neither had any motor related issues so far, aside from burning oil in the Audi. But by number of recalls? That Audi was great! But they also had a number of lawsuits filed in attempt to get them to actually recall the multitude of problems. The one that it actually had was the result of them losing such a suit, but so many years later it really didn’t matter.

So yeah, terrible metric to track. At this point, I’d rather see that the company has a dozen recalls on their vehicles than zero.

Edit: I should clarify. That being said, I do believe Toyota actually makes a solid car the first time. Boring, but quality is a huge focus for them. I’m still hesitant to trust recall counts though and I don’t think I’d trust Mercedes number as a valid quality metric.

I use nginx to handle the routing to different systems and docker ports so it helps when I fiddle with that config to see “server online” that I shoved in a basic html page for the base domain.

I used to run Nextcloud there but I’ve had so much trouble with nextcloud that I barely use it at all now and I worried it was too easily discoverable for something I wasn’t confident was configured properly.

So I’m hesitant to mention this, but I have been noticing similar problems trending worse and worse over the entire Android ecosystem. I love the projects that are trying to solve this, but I don’t see them gaining traction or building top notch phones with high end cameras that compete with Samsung or Apple.

So I recently decided to start trying out something else: after avoiding it like the plague, I’ve been using an iPhone 14 fairly regularly and have been pleasantly surprised by the privacy and security features. Everything seems to be implemented to give you control over what apps can do.

I’m not trying to start and Apple vs Android fight, there are many aspects I hate still, notably all their proprietary nonsense. But that aside, what’s everyone’s opinions on the privacy aspect of iPhones?

Edit: forgot to chime in on the key question: no, I don’t see Apple ever allowing custom ROMs unless it’s legally required. But I don’t see that entirely as a bad thing as long as the platform is appropriately secured and privacy friendly, which is why I’m asking this question and hoping those who know better can explain more.

This sounds really good. Anyone actively using this that can share how it actually compares to Jira? I’m very intrigued.
