Of course, the end goal (mind the word "end") is to replace them. However, in this current situation, where many people are struggling to find a job, it's not good.

Yep, this sort of behaviour translates to Windows paths also. Why would they name a directory "C:\Users\Example\Desktop", when they can replace "Desktop" with a locale-specific name, which is not just a link to "Desktop", but a completely different directory which breaks any scripts expecting "Desktop".
We know MS well, their choice is clear :)
The 3 AM programming syndrome. I know it very well :D
This looks like the final layer of hell. Your coworker writes their scripts in another language and now you have to decipher what the hell they mean. Who has a problem woth English for development tools, etc.? It's really not a monumental task to learn it, and I'm not even a native speaker.
Ahhh yes. In capitalism, if you create a machine that can replace say, 10 people, you don't give them 1/10 of the work. You fire them and maybe hire someone to operate it.
Machines and human workers can coexist. They don't have to replace them.
Edit: Of course they should replace them, but only after we get good living conditions for unemployed people, which are currently non-existent.
Yep. I don't even think it's legal. I'm an EU citizen and with the GDPR I should be able to browse the damn thing without cookies...
Healthline (or one of their sites with a different name)?
Who is it then?
Agreed. Whenever I encrypt stuff in bulk, I usually do it purely for archiving purposes and tar seems to be the most battle-tested archiving thingie
tar | gpg.
I'm pretty sure there are "better" ways. Can someone please recommend?
Yep, and when you try to troubleshoot shit, it all falls apart and you can't really tell what's going on under the hood...
