None of what Bitcoin Fog did appears to be money laundering according to the definition on that page, since it requires an "intent to promote the carrying on of specified unlawful activity". The people using Bitcoin Fog might

If you want to block your grandma from being able to install apps from outside the Apple app store, that's fine (as long as she agrees to it). Seems like a useful feature. Maybe file it under "parental controls" or something.

The thing people who are against crypto mining miss is that the cryptocurrency industry is economically self sustaining. Electricity burned on mining crypto is not wasted , it is used to maintain a system that is objectively more econo

But then wouldn't those new owners just avoid the notification entirely by buying the original developer's account so there's no way to tell that ownership changed? I'm pretty sure that's how it usually works alread

The GGP suggested "officially transfer the single extension to a new owner" which you can obviously already do (by giving the new owner your account, if nothing else), and "tell the user the ownership changed and offering the

Interesting! What's the advantage of Puter in this scenario compared to, say, Google Drive, or Dropbox?

I'm sympathetic to the idea that users should be able to choose to remain within a walled garden if that's what they actually want. There are benefits to Apple being able to use their market position to enforce certain rules on

How is this any different from, say, a gravel hiking trail? I see plenty of those in state parks all over the place. Makes things far more accessible with a very minimal impact on the overall environment.

Unless I'm mistaken, this is only a problem if you're forwarding ports from the Docker containers to the host machine, which isn't necessary if the test itself is running from inside a Docker container on the same bridge netw

I was wondering about this as well. Maybe the filter isn't for dirt, but ice? (Water or solidified methane.)

Honestly this doesn't bother me as much as some of the other malicious compliance Apple has been doing. It sounds like Safari had a pretty tight level of integration with the operating system in order to allow PWAs, and creating secure

So extending this logic to other platforms: if Chrome has a security bug on Windows... you believe people will blame Microsoft? And you think that would be valid justification for Microsoft pushing a "security update" that uninsta

Correct. But at the same time GP is right that without the freedom to have alternative "app stores" on Windows, Steam couldn't exist.

Correct, I'm not just talking about alternative OSs. I specifically had application-layer software in mind when I wrote that comment. iOS prevents users from installing applications or app stores not approved (digitally signed) by Ap

The computers themselves generally do work the way I want, my issue is that the manufacturers have put in place artificial restrictions to prevent me from using them in any way other than the way they want. I don't mind reasonably

They're not just wielding the value of their marketplace though. If that was all it was, then Netflix could threaten to distribute their application to Apple customers through a different marketplace as part of their negotiations. Bu

Hot take: I don't think this is okay for game consoles either. If I want to install a GameCube emulator on my PS5 I should be able to and there's nothing Sony should be able to do to stop me. If that means they eventually end up h

I don't think we need to decide precisely what dollar amount is reasonable for Apple to charge for the use of their app store; that's something Apple and the app developers can negotiate between themselves. The problem is that App

Yeah, this is the fundamental issue at play here. I don't care what fees or rules Apple puts in place for developer access to its app store. I care that I'm digitally restricted from running anything other than software approved b

There's less space to build apartments in the city. So even if demand is lower, it could simply be that supply is lower still.

My definition of judicial activism would be ruling in a biased manner to get a politically desired result rather than solely on the basis of the facts and the law as written. You can rule in a biased manner in favor or individual freedom or

I would posit that the vast majority of that is you reading court decisions through the lens of your own political biases. Roe vs. Wade wasn't reversed because the judges thought abortion was wrong (though they may indeed think that).
