I don't know what to think of partnering with Bing and Yahoo or for using AWS. I don't see those as particularly bad for a search engine that's starting from scratch. Maybe we should expect more from DDG since it's no lo

Some rambling as I try to figure out what I intend to convey. During normal times, humans behave in irrational ways. During testing times (with a pandemic, unemployment, violence, corruption), humans seem to behave irrationally and exhibit

TL;DR Encrypting is still better than not encrypting Normal delete operations on common file systems don't wipe the stored data with zeros or random data either. They just mark the space as unused and make the directory entries invisib

The only authentic point I saw in this entire article was the one about the lack of documentation by Apple in implementing this across different platforms. Everything else applies to logging in with Facebook (or can be dealt with in other w

Obfuscation of the email address is an explicit choice by the user when using Sign in with Apple. It’s not something forced by the service. If users are choosing to do that, it says something about the lack of trust the users have with what

Honestly, your first question stands by itself for all times as far as Facebook is concerned. Facebook is incapable of and disinterested in taking moral stances for any reason.

It’s not funny when you understand people. Many people would never pay for something if they can avoid or bypass that. Some people would pay for something if it were cheap enough. Some people would pay for something if the payment method is

Even if that's added in watchOS 7 (which is what I'm guessing you meant, not iOS 14 alone), what would be required is a software mechanism to alert the user below a particular threshold. Given Apple's history, I doubt if this

It's still true. You'd be lucky to get updates beyond two years (so choosing the brand with this in mind is more important within the Android ecosystem). There are also devices that don't get updates after a few months of lau

Android had install time permissions for a long while. The user either had to allow all permissions asked by the app during install or not be allowed to install the app. On the other side, iOS had runtime permissions (nothing during install

That model was pioneered by Apple in iOS long before Android started taking it up with Android 6 (runtime permissions instead of collective install time permissions). Android took a few years to catch up and increase the range of runtime pe

The content itself might have specific signals or links to who that person is. Those cases also deserve to be covered during deletion. For the sake of being complete, even the content must be allowed to be deleted.

If you have been careful all along, this would help. But it wouldn’t solve the problem where someone has inadvertently added some personal information or hints/links to who they are or where they are. People may also not remember where

I’m with you on this, and don’t like the fact that delete windows for comments and posts is quite short and that accounts (along with content) cannot be deleted. This is why I never put any personal or demographic details in my comments her

Though Apple isn’t relenting on this front in the default experience, you can change the appearance in Accessibility options (look for Button Shape). That could help keep these distinct and easier to recognize.

The UI and UX seem to be getting worse on macOS with the “iOSification” of the OS. I thought Jony Ive’s exit would stop that trend. It’ll be interesting to read perspectives from John Gruber, M J Tsai, Marco Arment, etc. I still haven’t upg
