Your posts here seem of the “just asking questions” variety—no substance other than being counterculture. Do you have any proof or resemblance of any logical reason to think this?

> pay $9.99 for the ability to actually consume and enjoy printed books that don't have pdf/eBook editions You mean pay $9.99 for the ability to listen to half or less of a book, because there is a ridiculous 250 page per month

“Scan up to 250 printed pages per month for $9.99/mo” I’m sorry, but LOL. Not even a full book. That has to be one of the most terrible business models. I guess it’s in line with most app subscription models these days, only much worse

That’s why I’m back to pirating almost all content these days.

Ouch, a seven hour downtime for a paid search engine service. Maybe “every startup goes through this”, as some comment here stated, but not all startups are created equal. I wonder how much this incident will cost them long term.

No, in both cases, use something that is better than JPEG and Webp: JPEG XL.

They are “actively working on a solution”, because it requires a Google-sized brain and 28477382 work hours to maintain an RSS feed of a blog. What a silly company.

Because it’s not “sexy” anymore. Now “sexiness” lies with web crap, so Electron is a “great tool”, while Java is “terrible”.

Your comment is a flippant one, but let me be flippant about your comment; I would find the world sad if there was no porn in it. ;-)

That framework’s logic has not changed in years, and neither has Apple’s static analysis checker. It’s just security theater at this point.

I don’t know. It’s a cat and mouse game, and you can only win in such games if you don’t play. By moving the security from static analysis to kernel, Apple has sidestepped most malicious API mishaps. My project isn’t malicious, it just uses

See my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37667740 Static analysis is very easy to be fooled. iOS security comes from its kernel enforcement by means of entitlements, which you can’t easily break.

I can hide any private API usage already for normal store submission. If I am the tiniest bit careful, I will get away with most private stuff that is still not protected by the kernel using entitlements. For example, https://git

I’ve been using Windows for 25 years now. Please don’t lecture me about its reliability, especially in the last 15 years. I’m also having a weekly kernel panic on my M1 Max Mac, a sight unseen on any of my Windows machines for more than a d

Facebook’s shady coding in the past was all using sanctioned APIs, including the VPN it was using to spy on teens. With a private store also goes the static analysis of private API usage, which can enable software some looser restrictions (

All of that is already accounted for and protected by in the OS. An app cannot normally register daemons or agent (or even an XPC service). Installing is already limited to FrontBoard standard installation mechanism. All that will remain in

Like on a possible iOS future, “don’t support what you don’t want to support”. You have the choice. Unlike current iOS, where some boogie-man chose for you.

One could argue that once Facebook moves all its software to its own iOS store, all users would follow, installing any insecure software Facebook decides to shove down their throats. But people should have the choice.

Yes, let’s ignore the macOS elephant in the room, and jump to Windows and Linux to straw-man an argument. There are “no restrictions”, one can “install anything” and “run any app” on that, and still it is … “reliable”? But actually both Win

I will stick with my BitTorrent subscription. No retarded geo-restrictions, no ads for paying customers and the pricing model is a real winner.

by LeoNatan25 3y ago
BitTorrent is a protocol that has taken over pirated content distribution (in the context of ThePirateBay). “gnutella” is something most people have not even heard of. I’d say that’s feature enough.

Those are public capabilities that require explicit approval from Apple in the form of an entitlement. That’s not what I am saying. I’m talking about capabilities Apple officially denies having, or only gates to “partners”, and vends them u

Security companies should be much more open about these issues, rather than quake the notion that if they go public, they’d lose their hush hush secret contacts at Apple that give them private entitlements for private functionality. (Source

Here is the sad truth for you: they still don't exist. Open these apps in a Chrome tab and you get the same shitty experience. Open them in Firefox (or a WebKit based browser), and you get the same experience, with much less resources
