> The commission fee that Apple charges, 30% is partially to cover operating/marketing etc. Then by all means, please charge me separately for these things. Because I don’t need them. Apple doesn’t do marketing for me, never promote

Thanks for clarifying this. The link is quite interesting.

What's good about these pictures? If you released them on Instagram on an anonymous account, nobody would give a shit.

Why not read the post? Because you are technically wrong. It’s about iCloud backups containing the decryption keys. iMessages are backed up encrypted.

I don't get it: How do credit scoring companies in the EU even get access to browsing data or my search history? Wasn't the GDPR introduced to prevent data sharing like this in the first place if I don't explicitly opt-in to

The value of Google Maps is real-time traffic data, because this affects navigation heavily. Osm is nice for biking and walking, but not for driving by car.

It depends on the software. Is it an isolated thing? Then yes, you can continue to use it. But apps that read from APIs or scrape data are one version away from not functioning at all. Hence, regular updates. Hence, subscriptions to justify

Cordova predates Electron. Webapps in a WebView container were on iOS first and still have quite a market share. This has nothing to do with payments.

You can’t autocomplete "shit" via the iOS keyboard and several other swear or politically incorrect words.

Most devs with a computer use their device 8-10 hours per day, don't you think?

The verbosity around Zettelkasten baffles me. It is a simple system, but most posts explaining it are like 5,000 words long.

No OP, but yes. I expect that my emails can be read and that my files on a cloud service can be accessed. And I don’t even use Gmail. I expect that my ISP tracks and stores my DNS resolutions (if I use their DNS) and has a good understandin

I see it like you. So I guess it makes sense to evaluate the ROI of American universities based on the guild you’re joining. Kinda sad.

Strawman. I choose no cloud storage plus device that doesn’t scan my data. You argue for the former, which isn’t implemented, vs the latter, which I assume is reality anyways for all cloud storage providers. We can have this discussion if A

Is it so hard to understand? Some people don’t use cloud storage for precisely the reason that the photos are not encrypted. Now they can’t even use their phone for storing photos. The thing with "only when iCloud is enabled" is o

I guess B2C has some advantages. If you have 10,000 customers, you have no boss, only an obligation to deliver a good product that most/all of them like. One single customer can't make you go broke, just because you don't imp

Social life and work life don't have to be the same thing. I'm a Solopreneur as well. I make a lot of money, but I also work maybe 2-4 hours per day only. If I want a social life, I go to the rock climbing gym in the middle of the

I'm probably not in the target market, but the slowest thing in a browser these days, for me, is the obnoxious closing of cookie banners and newsletter popups. Hence, uBlock Origin + cosmetic filter list. The productivity boost is more

How does artificial intelligence help to identify causality, when AI is basically "throw everything in a matrix and see what correlates"?

You just quote some survey stats. They are bullshit. What people want and what they say they want are two entirely different things. Small example: I run a small app. The number of GDPR-related requests is zero. The number of emails like &q

What? No! Apple is the company that refuses the FBI to unlock an iPhone. Admitting that you are just the puppet of surveillance government is exactly the same thing as is happening now.

Maybe we need to poison the well. Create a botnet that downloads CSAM to millions of devices so that millions of reports are generated for innocent people so that it’s clear that all of this doesn’t work as intended.

Of course, you are not forced to accept the new ToS, but you also don’t get the newest iOS Version if you decline. So sooner or later, you probably need to accept them if you don’t want to be stuck with iOS 14 for the next 7 years.
