It is.
Even mozilla firefox is banned on the premise that it can run arbitrary code and yes, that is the official apple instance.
The fact that they apply it when they see fit and allow other times, and that it is totally arbitrary and opaque based on their own private interests, is exactly what everyone with common sense tried to explain when criticizing the walled garden.
YOU do not complain about those.
I complain about my TV showing me ads. I complain about my car not resetting one annoying light when i change the oil. I complain about the proprietary connectors on my generic batteries that restrict me to one brand of power tools (that get's discontinued for new proprietary connectors every 2 years).
It's fine if you love exploitation capitalism. But don't go assuming crap about others.
or just respect reasonable limits?
Does it make sense to destroy one feature for the illusion of having both?
Elements.io and telegram (to a much lesser extent) are safes. You place something there and it is locked. Signal, whatsapp, et al promise to be safes, but as soon as you place something, a hidden camera scan all the documents and print copies in a hidden printer at your home safe.
Would you trust that safe? would you still even call them safes? Yet some product manager/marketer convinced you that these are essential features for a "easy of use safe".
This is for the new calculator only.
for the former case: do you think former gnome contributors (who started the project exactly because their feared the ossification of window managers trying to copy windows, see their https://web.archive.org/web/19990224084927/http://www.gnome.... manifesto) would be happy with designers that ignore users and copy everything from osx?
for the second case, just look up how much linus fought against tainted kernel and still ended up giving up because of corporate/funding pressure. Also how google employees do whatever they want to chromium, for example, removing every single contribution to restrict referrer because that is how they made money from clicks on google search ads.
Absolutely none of those justify fat apps as they are already fat apps in themselves! I don't even...
GPL was the fight against device manufacturers using linux et al and not giving back/selling closed source linux devices.
We completely lost with tainted kernel and such, as they corrupted the only software that they couldn't live without and was promoting an open source license. Case in point: you cannot build 1% of your android phone software, proving GPL code (android, linux kernel) is as useless for open software as MIT (ios, darwin)
Now the fight moved from OEM manufacturers vs GPL to cloud providers vs AGPLv3. And source-available licenses are the tainted-kernel compromise all over again: get the thing you cannot live without but is fighting you with a pro-opensource license, and offer a carrot so they change, and they all changed.
Without the change the article talks about, cloud providers would have people using the AGPLv3 code in their derivative work of projectX. while they paid the closed source version from the company dual licensing it. With this new arrangement, they can use all derivative work at will with zero consequence, for the same low price.
Just like tainted kernel was a hard blow in the face of everyone who contributed to linux (heh, specially the GNU folks porting their stuff) with open source in mind. This is nothing but a greedy bait and switch on the community.
or maybe the n900 had less esoteric peripherals than android phones. I don't know... as I never got my hands on one despite actively trying to buy one for a couple years when they were announced.
In a few months, when games start to get awful performance on those cards, they will claim they can't fix it because it is in the silicon and can't be patched.
But this is on everyone hoping graphic card driver authors would know anything about anything. heh.
Yet those companies provide zero contributions, rebadge open source projects, and just re-sell taiwanese white-label computers while going great lengths to hide that and fake innovation.
if pcpartpicker.com adds a single checkbox to their searchs: "[ ] support in mainline linux kernel", it would make more good to linux support than all those companies combined.
Also, barrel charger plugs? ugh.
and for under 15" it is just a waste for 90% of people.
I bought one, and didn't like the keyboard. Send to a relative overseas. Months later the Mobo died a few weeks under warranty. Called HP and told i was overseas. They provided a local support number. ship by local post. upgraded new mobo. no charge.
This was a non-business $300ish laptop.
sadly, their shopping experience is abysmal like every other PC manufacturer :(
if you visit site A, you click OK, get all the cookies, get screwed, and annoyed.
you visit site B, you don't see the popup, you don't get annoyed (and screwed with invisible tracking, but you just said you don't care about that)
In the long run, we should hope site B will get less attrition and keep more users, by being less annoying (as a consequence of not tracking you)
as they should.
At least it is in their face now and can entice curiosity.
They ought to be annoying. so sites that do not track you for advertising can just add your cookie when you actively sign in, without the annoying popup on first visit, and receive more traffic because they are less-annoying.
hum. this is a telltale that you know very, very little about latin america.
There is actually 4 options. And you left the TOP TWO out.
1st is boleto. where you get a payment slip with the total bill split in monthly payments, with instructions to pay at the bank with special cases for late payment, etc.
The 2nd most used is to write pre-dated, pre-signed monthly checks. That work like an informal version of the boleto and gives more leverage to the seller.
Would be nice if they had a couple hand mande puzzles instead of random ones.
OSX is like using windows in the 90s. You need a dozen weird apps for basic stuff.
iterm2 still steal Option-tab on all of them.
and replacing command-tab breaks in other apps.
There's no solution other than to suffer it.
sarcasm aside, I wish there was something that was the exact opposite. I tried to map cltr+c/v on OSX but it doesn't work on some applications, like firefox. And using Switch application that fixes alt+tab to all windows (not programs) for some reason the default shortcut (Option-tab) is stolen on iterm2 which is exactly where I wanted it to work.
man, having to use OSX at the office is like having to use Windows with Outlook in the past. So silly.
in simple english: It is the dream project of whoever come up with cookies. basically cookies as first party data that you can download, upload, shared. All while having either the trouble of hosting a lot of infrastructure (just like the creators of email protocol thought everyone would do, ha!) or relaying all that info to a 3rd party like google or facebook. The nightmare scenario to everyone saying 3rd party cookies are bad.
Every time you open a site and it shows a popup for picking your cookies, just open uBlockOrigin from your browser toolbar, click the quick element picker (eye dropper icon), click the popup.
Done. Now you will never see the popup for that site (even if you do not save cookies, or clear your cookies), and you are technically guarantee to not accept any non-essential cookies ever (if they follow spec)
here is another idea: proper ranking of player abilities! crazy right? something so simple should be a day-one feature right? that would put all the hackers together and they could even compete in their own hacking league... 100% of clients satisfied!
now think about game companies failing to put that single feature to work correctly, what changes do you think a AI that detect human behaviour have or working well in that space? :(
They would not have gotten off the ground in the early days without it.
oh, and pirates and global warming the canonical reference for your point around here :)
multiplayer game have the choices: a) ship game with malware/trojan to try to prevent cheats, or b) open up for cheats (even if client side only, like see trhu walls)
Most popular games chose option A (and still fail preventing both client side and remote hacks)
The world of open source have already settled for: "nit" or "nitpick" for things that you can live with without changing in a code review.
Everything else is just noise. Either you must change, or not. Anything in between is just harming communication.
for the record, most other industry that offer APs that run on standalone will work with all features, or only advertise that feature on the package. For example, you don't see cisco(?) unleashed mode APs advertising guest portal, unless they can do it on unleashed (stand alone) mode.
Unifi is intentionally misleading.
