This is a small step in installing an app, but a giant leap for digital freedom. I hope that non-UE citizens can achieve this goal by the end of the decade, not because it is easy, but because it is hard.
Its hard only because greedy corporation execs decided to milk its userbase dry, while giving them massive FU in the face coupled with a tasty spit. Technically, they already done it without breaking a sweat.
But amount of pass apple gets from mostly US folks even here on HN and elsewhere, despite all their intentional missteps and fuckups is staggering. Main reason for me to stay away from whole ecosystem, price wise they are just in upper middle tier, functionality wise it depends what you need/expect - from great to pretty much horrible proposition. If google would be chinese corp I would get it when crowds get into us-vs-them mindset, but this fanatism has no base in reality, its more like blind political support of candidate X despite massive character flaws, just because you already invested yourself heavily in given party direction for topic Y.
They will keep doing it exactly and only to the point when users will start voting with their wallets, hoping for some apple moral auto-correction is a pipe dream with some serious stuff in that pipe. Or leave it up to regulators with some morals, but I struggle to imagine this working anywhere else outside of EU, and I am not positive about the future change (hoping to be wrong of course). Until apple does something both nasty and visible, they will continue to be uncritically celebrated.
Well if you look at the uBlock Origin comment thread that I started on this article, someone told me you can have that on iOS in theory. Turns out they were just assuming as well.
I've installed every update and I've never had an issue. I don't use iOS much, but I don't think I've ever seen a bug. I have seen some weird behaviour, but that could just be me mostly using Android and not knowing how iOS does things.
Homebrew Cask's uninstall scripts are basically a community-maintained "best guess" at to how to full uninstall each piece of software. It's generally pretty reliable, and I do use it to remove non-brew installs sometimes.
Note: I have contributed casks to Homebrew Cask before.
You can add `--force` and zap will also work on non-brew installs. The paths are community-contributed, so watch out (you can print the paths with `brew cask cat <name>`).
No. Homebrew sends a per-installation unique identifier to a third party (Google), tracking your location across different IPs, whether you want it to or not.
Popcon is first-party, and is entirely opt-in. It doesn’t send anything unless you want it to.
My dad's factory in the 80s was managed by s360. I do not understand why, but 1 out of 4 companies in Italy I talk to, are still running AS400... This must be something like Maya architecture :)
