What is the problem with this?
- SimianSci 1y agoThere is no problem with this if you have any understanding of modern platforms and accept the current paradigm we all live in. I imagine such things might be shocking to people who dont understand how connected the world is at this point, or who may have been living under a metaphorical rock when it comes to their computing.
- gchamonlive 1y agoIt's the problem with the benevolent dictator. It's no problem as long as the dictator is benevolent. Also benevolence is a matter of reference. Something that might be ok for most, might not be for you. There is also the question of ownership. Do you really own something you bought if you don't control its behaviour? Is it even moral to sell stuff to customers if they won't fully own it, or if the nature of ownership could change over time without user's having a say in it?
- st3fan 1y agothanks that is just a random rant do you think it is a problem that the "benevolent dictator" operating system contacts an endpoint to keep its anti-malware list up to date?

- gchamonlive 1y agoDo you have the option to change the list if you want to maintain your own? What happens if it starts blacklisting legit applications because it poses a threat to Apple's business model?
- brookst 1y agoCan you explain how it would be less of a problem if Apple out every service begins one DNS name? That’s the complaint, right? Too many DNS names?
- gchamonlive 1y agoNo, the problem is always choice and ownership, not complexity.
- astura 1y agoDepends on the company. When Microsoft does it - most evil thing ever. Literally Satan. When Apple does it - it's good, or at least benign. It's what the user expects.
