I agree to some extent, but who should make parental controls reasonable then? What corporations deliver is both invasive and ineffective.

Honestly it's more or less usable already - maybe matter of display size compared to other comment. One thing that is killing the fun is that it's impossible to delete something. That or even undo button would make it enough to have fun with it.

Is it? A lot of parents uses Family Link and similar solutions, which are way more invasive than that.

The part where FAANG does usual Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, masses don't care/understand and we have yet another "sign in with... " that isn't open source nor zero-knowledge in practice and monetizes your every move. And probably at least one of the vendors has massive leak that shows half-assed or even flawed on purpose implementation.

Yeah, but then banks need to be pushed to support it. And while we're at it it would be good if people responsible for European eID also stopped recommending Google device attestation.

Doesn't matter if you have 500 microservices if only one or two take part in card authorization (as it should be if microservices were architected correctly).

There's ton of logic on non-critical path that can be extracted to other microservices and called asynchronously - settlements, refunds, rewards, all management and reporting functionalities - to name just a few.

Because someone managed to run LLM on an iPhone at unusable speed Apple won AI race? Yeah, sure.

It was added recently to Google dialer app. If you want to use external one or aren't on pixel which received this update then bad luck for you.

What's then left as Google's advantage? I'm really not interested in buying myself a cage, but if Google will make me choose between two cages then Apple has nicer one.

They could be, but they aren't. When they catch your political bias, they will push your flavor of propaganda to you as heavily as classical media.

You forgot to add that Ukrainian opposition leader supported suspension.

Honestly I don't think I did. I think I understand you. I would like to buy "perfect" product for me. But I'm small niche. There won't be one.

I don't think we should cancel people that want to do something good over a few mistakes, while Microsoft gets to be openly hostile to users, Google does developer verification bullshit and Apple does blatant corruption right in the oval office. Don't even get me started on Zuck running servers on your personal hardware to get around private mode.

I may or may not agree with DHH views, but all that is just one guy's opinion which really doesn't matter that much, against one of the few companies that did something good with hardware in recent years.

Keep everyone to the same standard.

Out of curiosity - which laptop did you buy then? If "one of the open source projects supported by this company has lead who says controversial things on Twitter" is too much, I'm afraid you may have troubles finding one.

It makes more sense if you are used to Ubiquiti ecosystem. Basically they assume you have Ubiquiti-based home/office network (they call it site). Then this device binds to this site and VPNs to it over Teleport (kinda similar thing to Tailscale, also built on top of wireguard). I would assume you can also configure Wireguard/Open VPN/IPsec manually as this is pretty standard in their ecosystem.

I guess it's nice if you are in Ubiquiti ecosystem already and want as little friction as possible. Otherwise it's probably similar to any travel router.

You were waiting so long to jump at me with ZKP you didn't even read my comment, where I addressed them...

So if we secure personal devices of children, with simple, standardized "child-owned" marker, we're basically back to 80s/90s, where children could occasionally get access to adult material via friends or irresponsible adults.

In my opinion that's more than enough, especially when you compare it to requiring everyone to identify themselves. It may be ZPK on the tin, but likely it will be close-source, corporation owned implementation, which will have holes. Then in a few years we will learn that Meta exploited them for years to sell your soul for ad money.

Btw - students occasionally steal teacher's cars. Should we block engine start with ID check too?

Where exactly children have this access in your opinion?

What exactly is unrealistic in marking child devices as a child device?

Because if this browser will have zero appeal to wider public it will die and you will have to pick between Chrome forks.

You would have to completely flip how funding works. As of now most VCs have abysmal returns, so heightening the bar is last thing on their mind.

I look at these people with fascination. We had digital nomads, guess now we have digital Amishes :-)

When I first earned money for coding (circa 20 years ago) it was small e-commerce shop. Today nobody does them, because there's woocomerce, shopify, FB marketplace. All dirt cheap and fast.

It isn't devaluation. It's good - it freed a lot of people to work on more ambitious things.

That, btw shows another problem - Huawei has really nice hardware and in theory, their os runs android apps.

In practice some apps run fine, but many are degraded or not running at all due to dependency on Google Play services, "security checks" and DRMs.

Google isn't much better and there's no more serious competition.

This bug prevents injecting magic handshake that enables all features. It wouldn't be relevant if Apple didn't block these features in the first place.

Btw it's not some magic feature set they spent years to research. Sub $60 Soundcores have most of them if not all.

You have to click that button and option to hide is right there.

How much time do you expect? People complain at least since FF4 release, which was 14 years ago. Today this is still most customizable browser on the market.

You really think these things are requiring significant development budget, compared to keeping up with things like wasm, webgpu, grid/flex layouts?

Can you really say with a straight face, that not doing vertical tabs or chat shortcut would allow them to operate on much smaller budget?

Why this is obvious extension workflow and vertical tabs or FF Sync aren't?

How do you propose they finance development if we consider simple integrations with zero privacy or customization impact "selling out"?

Making a very simple feature and enabling it, with option to disable it is no pushing down the throat, nor dark pattern.

Please don't compare it to Google or Microsoft products that give you "Enable now/Remind later" or just no option at all.
