Also it is for a reason that the term FOSS had emerged because unlike "Open-Source" it's not subject to interpretation depending on your agenda.

The fact that this pretty accurate comment (written in layman terms) is so downwoted tend to actually reinforce it's accuracy.

Yes but in Netflix case and html5 we are precisely talking about streaming service. Download should be DRM free for free for vidéo that's true but don't blame Netflix for using DRM on a streaming service as every music streaming s

So they supposedly maintain duplicate version of core functions in plateform specific branch and never merge them to master... That would only be slightly less worse than the sabotaging theory.

Except that in real world you can't automagically create cross report from separately defined data structures. If you want cross report you will define a super-data structure able to talk to both monoliths. They incidentally become &qu

So if some layer gather enough evidence of "redacted" return complains this should provide a ground for a big class action?

In the OP case copyright laws are sufficient. So yeah is it to much to ask from amazon to respect trademark and/or copyright. Specially considering they are the dominant online book sellers. I think people should start considering that

I don't get why this haven't made it to the main page. This device is starting to look like free tv Chanel's in the USA, constantly interrupted by ads. This is freaky.

I believe carefully crafted update should mostly mitigate that risk. Also current policy don't prevent app developers to implement a "kill switch" that will prompt user to update (or wait for update) at splash screen and abor

As a client I'm pretty baffled that some developer had specifically bypassed something that I see as a security measure. If an app is modified on the fly to use an undocumented and maybe "forbidden by apple" method in order t

Tab are actually more eco-friendly than space. Just think of the energy lost sending 4 characters instead of 1 in every uncompressed json/xml actually moving around because lazy people don't mind suppress them before sending it ov

Theoretically what you are describing is Apple iCloud business model. But some might say that because it's not open source you can't trust them. Personally I trust the money I give them, they promised me privacy, I pay monthly, if

Well, here is the point of view of a back-end developer (database) that scratched his head on Jekyll last week trying to figure out how to just make a damn god simple (but customisable and multilingual) blog using almost only markdown... I

Indeed but what about when your skills set don't involve software developpement? What's interesting in this question is actually that what work for FOSS might be working for other tasks. Like for instance à project like "let&

And that's what I did, but I would gladly have paid a few bucks or give a % of my monthly Netflix subscription to spare me the slow conversion from DVD to MP4 (because I only have an AppleTV and yes converting owned content is legal in

It also boils down to the prices they try to charges you for dematerialized goods. While music and videogames industries now seems to have find a good balance, Tv/movies is lagging behind.(except Netflix) Do they really expect me to sp

You are so lucky! I can't even look into a mirror since I learn 3 years ago that a NoSQL ninja will soon stab me in the back and steal my job because I work with that declining SQL old stuff!

I'm not sure about the feature you talk about, but maybe have a look at accessibility settings of MacOS. They putted a lot of advanced settings in there targeted at various kind of handicap. However these feature can also be used to im

What bother me is that they use net application data only... However I tend to question that source as we have now reached a strange situation where MacOS market share is around 6% according to netapplication (netmarketshare) and around 11%

Can users at least opt-out of persistent chat history? Or define a timeframe after which message are deleted? You are basically confirming that your company is storing a lot of personal data without user specific encryption. This is pretty

I'm very outraged that you are right. Just checked with a dubious app that let you display current clipboard with no user action. Yet you still have to bring the app to the foreground, but this is potentially a huge privacy leak IMHO.

But with a chat app the "classic" behaviour is as far as i know, to guarantee that each participant got all the message they ought to. Thus what are those billions of messages they store in the database? Is it only a very detailed

by Twisell 10y ago
So technically that mean that sysadmins at discord can freely browse the billions of message that are stored on your DB? And if you are ever hacked all this chat database can be sucked up for free due to lack of encryption? I must be wrong

I'm actually very curious to find out how that will turn out in the long run because another source of the same kind definitively show quite a different trend for MacOS (and IMHO more continuous & realistic) : http://gs.
