I'm not arguing for the existence of any specific deliberate conspiracy. So please don't misrepresent what I'm saying as conspiracy theory. Still, there are multiple plausible ways in which these apps and systems can be compr

There's arguably a lot more evidence against Google than Apple here. But Apple did lie about their involvement, or even knowledge of, the PRISM program. Snowden leaks. I highly recommend Glenn Grennwald's book No Place to Hide if

If one considers the whole operation of armed forces to be unethical, it's easy to find ethical and moral hazards with the first two points as well. Analogy: Would you consider it unethical to provide tools and services that make the l

Release the source code and provide some mechanism for users to have verifiable proof that the published code matches the application running on the device and we can start talking about trust. Given past track record of both companies, thi

Nothing the author brings up is really “bad UX”. “Bad visual design” or “ugly”, perhaps (though I don’t think so), but User Experience is only very loosely correlated with “looking good”. If the end result is good for the user, it’s not bad

This is getting OT, but could you elaborate on your issues with systemd? I’m genuinely curious. I often see people complain but haven’t seen or experienced specifics apart from it being complex and having higher learning curve than initd. (

I also think a more important qualifier is the primary focus being development of a proprietary product or service, as opposed to e.g. consulting or providing infrastructure. (Not sure exactly how to word it properly to make the distinction

I feel you, what I do is use chromium specifically for that and nothing else. Interesting that you didn't face the Zoom issues I did though. I wonder what gives.

I don't want to imply too much here, but I'm surprised by all the people here saying Zoom "just works" whenever Zoom is mentioned. It's a recurring mantra. I've had various really annoying issues (completely bl
