You would think they would have had time to develop such a program before launching this change.

What a great mode that would be. I would probably skip a lot of movies during this period like “do I really want to watch this?”

Of course there might be other reasons to scrutinize big companies like Apple, Google etc. but isn’t the best policy the one you don’t even have to implement because the actors in the market acted beforehand already?

Wouldn’t a properly diffed CRL list be much smaller than a hash payload on every app launch? Say, a request like “give me all the revoked certificates since I last asked.”

I don’t know the answer to that, but I would assume they are all Tor related so that tells me everything I need to know about a user anyway.

MOS could license their software to handset manufacturers. Or charge apps a fee for using their services such as a software store, hosting etc.

And where you drive it since they track IP numbers.

For anyone who wants to do this, you can do it here (at least if you are in the EU): http://privacy.apple.com/

Not all in one place, and not everything. See for example https://superuser.com/a/1512224

I’m surprised more has not been made of the claim that all this information is being sent unencrypted.

If that’s really true, how can anyone take the claim being made by one of the largest and most privacy-touting companies seriously?

If they send, in real-time, location and which program is being run unencrypted over the Internet for anyone to read, this should get a lot more traction. Especially because of it being Apple, making this a huge double standard.

The privacy-invasive tracking in Windows 10 is much more obnoxious and tricky to workaround (since it is spread out and hard/impossible to disable). This tracking in macOS is at least under the guise of security whereas the Windows tracking is pure telemetry.

There aren’t many (if any) realistic options. It basically boils down to Apple, Android or some extremely niche third party special phone (Fairphone etc.) which are mostly Android anyway. So either you pay Apple for premium hardware and software quality but loose out on repairability. Or you get Android which is a potential or actual privacy nightmare. Or you get an obscure other phone which is less supported and usually not as good value for money.

The only thing that can really fix these problems is proper regulation. That’s the only language these companies understand.

If you just aim to provide static content, i.e. public web pages and articles I think you’d really have to “go out of your way” to break GDPR (which in this case is likely tons of ad network code among other shady things).

Agree. We also only do it at home (but use less energy since we’re drying them on a rack). Here it’s quite dry so the added humidity helps.

That doesn’t prevent you from using them at home though.

So if I develop StreamApp today that runs apps in the cloud and just streams the view over the net, and somehow polish the integration with iOS so it is good enough (sharing etc.), would this argument change?

For open source, you kind of are in a weird way. Open source projects need contributions, for example in the form of bug reports, feature requests, proof reading and (in the rare case) source code. Many ousers provide these benefits to open source projects, which make them thrive.

On the other hand, looking at the coin from the other side you could also argue you’re paying with your time and effort and not your money.

Would love for Jepsen to take a stab at Erlang’s Mnesia database as well!

That both has and hasn't happened with Spotify.

On the one hand, there are no 10 hour songs with some great part spread out randomly throughout that listeners have to find (obvious, and I think such a book wouldn't be successful either).

On the other hand there are tons of generated crap on Spotify, than sometimes sneaks into your playlists (even things contained text-to-speech advertisement).

I think all such platforms would need some kind of spam filter functionality and a good rating / statistics system so that quality content could be surfaced.

As long as you don't empty your browser cookies.

Yeah, this is my philosophy when developing Erlang software as well (also seems to be shared by most of that community). A few dependencies less are always worth a few functions more.

Wouldn’t the alternative simply be bigger libraries grouped around common functionality or extension points? Like jQuery or similar (only an example, not sure what is hip today).

I’d rather trust a fairly big library with an organized open source group behind it than thousands of small libraries by unknown developers.

Not in my experience in Germany:

Ordered items on the 24th (a Friday) and they said normal delivery was expected on the 30th (next Thursday) and premium would show up on the 27th (next Monday). Didn’t want to pay for Prime, so went with the standard shipping. Received the items the next day on the 25th (Saturday).

I’m not complaining, but I’ll never trust the Prime/premium shipping again which now just feels like a scam.

I took this to be part of the joke, since the new iPhone SE has exactly the same form factor as the iPhone 8.

Once I started using one normal and one eSIM on my iPhone I found the lack of dual SIM slots a lot less annoying.

You can also change so that PrtScn directly opens the snipping tool which is far superior by checking “Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping” in Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/398094200710889482/68...

This equivalent to the new macOS Mojave shortcut Command+Shift+5.

It’s even weirder because 80% of the screenshots are of the mobile app.

I tried this route as well first, since I had an Pi 3B lying around not being used. However, after having the Pi-Hole FTL service crashing multiple times a week and completely stopping the whole network from getting Internet access I ditched it. This was using the latest Pi-Hole version on latest Raspian. Some searching the Internet turned up some results about memory usage and such but the logs never showed anything actionable and I gave up on troubleshooting it and just went for NextDNS instead.

My biggest pain point with the iPad camera has always been that it isn't aimed against your face:

But the OS can. So if photos are accessed for example, the OS can popup the same old dialog asking for permissions as always and you as the user can decide.
