So if we encouraged people to make such terms to help with their end of month, looking at people would become immoral? Pieces of paper/text shouldn't be able to dictate what is moral outside of common sense. The world I describe a

What if I say "I spent a lot of time on my appearance, if you look at me you should pay". Do I have the right to bill anybody making eye contact?

Because these websites create expectation. If everyone is using YouTube, won't you be missing something by not going? If you started using the service when you felt it was great and it deteriorated since, would it really be unfair to f

I mean, if Google gets its revenue solely from ads. Doesn't it mean that you are paying for the ads you see? I would rather have all google products be paid, and lessen the incentive for business to spend a large share of their revenue

Is it even desirable to store data for millennia? What's wrong with humans wanting to destroy knowledge? As you said culture is probably the best method of preservation. But still fallible, and this may be a good thing!

How expensive is it to produce? Is it overwritable?

It is also due to how unstable software is. Is it possible nowadays to write a simple calculator function and ensure that nobody will ever need to care again for the rest of the century? Making software stable (including for example the web

Because we write extensible instead of composable software. We do not distribute functions, but apps. How many instructions do you need in assembly to compute `1+1`? How many instructions do you need to open your search bar, get the calcula

There is also a problem with how apps are made, they depend way too much on environment calls. And obviously adding 50 permissions isn't realistic. Now, making the base process manual doesn't mean that the user will need to do the

Personally I am not advocating for "protection", protection against what? Your own device? Why is your device harming you to begin with? The online data privacy crisis isn't really about data or the bad actors, but the lack o

That's understandable, and so perhaps that we need to re-think our computing model to replace yes/no popups with something a bit more involving. By "involving" I do not necessarily mean harder, the goal isn't to mak

It is easier to build automation on top of a simpler/manual/secure process, than it is to make a fully automated system secure. I am not saying that automation shouldn't be possible at all, but that platforms shouldn't b

What app developers want/do is irrelevant. I am saying that it should be impossible for any individual app to access or connect to anything without explicit user consent. We need to stop automating everything and then complain that com

by TheMode 3y ago
I assume that it is dependent on the platform, and what you are accessing. The problem is that we first design platforms/APIs to automate everything, and secondly try to make it secure/explicit. We need the opposite.

ISAs aren't stable. Can you guarantee me that programs will be compiled for x86 in 20y? What instructions will they output to access the environment? Linux, Windows, MacOS? Will any of these even remain in 20y? No standard last forever

Software maintenance shouldn't exist. Instead of fighting the source code to map the current trendy environment, we should compile our programs to easily interpretable formats that does not contain any environment specific code and the

The OS is the layer below applications. They obviously can control what data is being sent. Now perhaps that our software model doesn't make it very convenient, but blaming Apple is completely honest and understandable. We should stop

I am not saying that this is low effort either, the website itself probably took some time. I am saying that a lot of this effort is pointless. To be clear, not because the developer is bad (I did not try it outside of the website demo), bu

I am not complaining about this specific developer, I said the state of software development. In an ideal world, this app should be programmable in the same time it takes to read the website and buy it. Not questioning the reasons why such
