If someone doesn’t like Apple‘s system, there are at least dozens of different phone manufacturers to choose from. Anti-trust laws are written to bust monopolies, which Apple doesn’t fit the definition of in any way, shape, or form. It is a

I could name two dozen Linux distos that can support a 4g modem, a touch screen, a desktop environment with an app launcher, a web browser, and the capability to install arbitrary software packages. but it would be a waste of time because a

I don’t think Apple should be forced to make changes to their own platform at behest of government orders. Today it’s forcing them to open up payment gateways, tomorrow it’s forcing them to put a police backdoor in iMessage. I don’t agree w

Ummm, you’re being ridiculous, and not supported by evidence. there are plenty of open source OS’s with accompanying hardware platforms wherein this doesn’t happen. Take PinePhone for a example. They aren’t being sued by any top players, an

Sorry but I don’t buy into the Apple hatebonering. If someone wants to make their own competing OS and platform as good as Apple’s, they are 100% free to do so.

In most cases it’s easy to social engineer hosting company staff into granting unauthorized access (even the major ones) all it takes is a bit of know-how and maybe a photoshopped ID. The weakest link in any security stack is always the h

It’s because of an inner city gang culture. It’s primarily just one specific demographic in the US that glorifies gang violence and shooting. If we eliminate this demographic culture, the gun violence issue will be solved.

How is this a problem? They get free clothes they would otherwise never be able to afford. Perhaps they should be grateful instead of expecting everything to be free forever.

Github has established a scary new paradigm for open source developers on 1/09/2022. Now developers are obligated to not introduce breaking changes into their own programs, otherwise their accounts will be suspended.

Good point however developer could still have decided to remove the MIT license and licensed code and re-write or remove those licensed bits entirely, and then start charging money for it. I wonder if Github would have still considered that

Seems a bit paradoxical how making your program cease to function for users who don't pay a fee (say $10,000) is considered fine, yet making your program cease to function entirely is widely considered a malicious act of malware distri
