Surely this is exactly the kind of thing the EFF should be doing?
- notatoad 12y agomaking apps that send notifications over proprietary push-notification channels instead of supporting open, accessible, cross-plaform communication channels like email? nah, that wasn't what i donated to the EFF for.
- yincrash 12y agoThey made their own push notification server with an Affero GPL license (which means even server operators have to release source that they change), and as such I would not consider proprietary. Email is not a push channel in either IMAP or POP3.
- Nullabillity 12y agoSMTP is push, POP/IMAP are receiver implementation details.
- yincrash 12y agoThe parent of my post was arguing against a "proprietary push implementation" in favor of email, but my argument is that the receiving of email is not via push.
- MCRed 12y agoNo, the EFF Should not be writing articles full of lies attacking the company that has consistently defended consumer rights and supporting the company that has consistently violated them.
- MichaelGG 12y agoApple defends my consumer rights? Please tell me how I can make the hardware I've purchased run the way I want it to run.
- jshevek 12y agoDon't you see? Since we are all so very scared of malware, apple is our very best friend. This is the beginning and the end of the conversation on 'consumer rights'. If you disagree, then you support malware. Shame on you.
- newaccountfool 12y agoDoes apple pay you by the post? or hourly?
- jshevek 12y agoThe fanatical bias at play here is really astounding, and is especially interesting and sad when its coupled with ongoing accusations of similar directed towards everyone else. But I think we both know he isn't being paid. So what is the motive? This is a testament to the amazing cultural/social (not technical) feat that this company has accomplished this past decade.
- thought_alarm 12y agoYes, you're right. Where can I go to donate to EFF and further this important cause? Oh, wait. I make my money as a software developer, selling my work directly to people who appreciate it. The EFF wouldn't accept such dirty money, would they?
- jshevek 12y ago> I make my money as a software developer, selling my work directly to people who appreciate it. If you sell your work directly to people, then you don't use apple's app store.
