I would also have appreciated a version that's compatible with a non-latest macOS release.
Then again, this app was written with SwiftUI, which hasn't received some handy features before macOS 12 and is still way behind AppKit.
When I see an app that's not compatible with the second most recent macOS, I assume the dev either didn't know better or they were too lazy to write workarounds / shims for the latest-and-greatest shiny stuff.
If you have ADP, Leave it on and have them automatically delete it at some point? Otherwise yes.
“Customers who are already using Advanced Data Protection, or ADP, will need to manually disable it during an unspecified grace period to keep their iCloud accounts, according to the report. Apple said it will issue additional guidance in the future to affected users and that it "does not have the ability to automatically disable it on their behalf."
Did you read the LA times? They were in full damage control mode. I wonder who sponsors them the most nowadays? It's not like the government just funded millions and billions post covid into pharma corporations (to the point where they became the dominant component of government funding and to the point where these corporations began to compete with the MIC for funding) that could just use that money to get journalists to "sweeten up" the blowback to their dangerous and negligent practices.
But that said, I still take the republican biased report with caveats. They were washing up their own vaccine related leveraging as a "success" in it, even though it also contributed to many problems.
The experience is quite similar with DHL when you have a non-standard question. The chatbot is utterly useless and there is no way to contact a human being if you're not a business customer.
There is a way, but it is difficult. Most companies don't want you to call. Operators cost a ton of money. And what choice do you have really? Choose a different parcel service? All others are worse.
The difference is they don't hand over the data of all their users but of specific ones, just like every other entity does if you have a warrant for that user.
The issue becomes far more pronounced if the state is able to determine your identity through your phone number, which in Germany is usually tightly coupled to your identity.
I don't need 3rd rate officials being in a position to judge my communication for some badly defined security benefit that allegedly would manifest for the whole society.
Plus Germany still has quite a bad record here. After WWII it didn't stop to invent new forms of totalitarianism through surveillance.
Democracy is not a spectator sport. You have to be vigilant for it through the years.
With that vigilance, it helps to be able to accurately assess the problem. In this case, Durov wasn't arrested for non-Western aligned subject matter. He was arrested for tacitly allowing drug trade and extremism on his app. Yes, Telegram is deleting many of these groups, but it is a token effort at best.
If Telegram ramps up the moderation of these efforts, perhaps the charges against Durov will be dropped. But if they continue to allow these whilst upping the moderation against.. say.. pro-Russian groups, Durov stays jailed. Hence, accurately assess the problem, and choose to work on it.
For what its worth, I lean libertarian with a progressive bent, so in my book anything that is not overly dangerous should be allowed to be communicated.
- Weapon sales? Probably not.
- XTC sales? Go ahead.[0]
- Nutella boycot? Go ahead.
- Infiltrating a local government to sabotage it? No.
[0] Yes, I am fully aware drug production funds violent organisations and there are tonnes of externalities like chemical waste dumping. That needs to be fixed via legalizing, it is not an inherent problem of drug sales.
If the rule of law is robust, we should abolish the police.
You are very mistaken. Democracy requires defense. Everyone can have its own stupid opinion, but that is not the point.
Actively sabotaging society via campaigns is something any sane democratic society should defend against (all western "social" media are relentlessly hit by troll bots and disinformation campaigns, funded by your favorite dictatorships like Russia and China).
It is no wonder that Twitter for example got in the hands of Apartheid Musk.
The paradox of tolerance, read it up. It is a __paradox__.
The paradox of tolerance isn't real. Laws are real. Someone could argue for whatever they want. If the law says it cannot be implemented, it doesn't matter if they win an election. It's just about the law.
This is about identity theft like selling credit card details, meth and child porn (telegram deletes 60 thousand such groups. Per month. It's a shitpile that attracts flies, evidently)
