Piratebay is blocked in a few countries (like the Netherlands[0]). So proxies (with their own ads of course) are good business. [0] https://blog.iusmentis.com/2017/06/19/eu-hof-verklaart-the-p...

Can we stop using and finding bugs in the close-source Zoom and direct that effort to finding bugs in the open source Jitsi (or any other open source solution) instead? Even though it's free and open source there will be bugs and usabi

It is, from an Apple developer guidelines point of view. They have detailed docs on what situations to avoid[0] in order to elevate privaleges as safe as possible (ie: to not leave gaping holes). Granted, the best solutions they propose are

My dad owns a base station that uploads data to WU and since the takeover I've not been able to get a proper API key to have him pull his own data from the WU API. Luckily the base station is easy to scrape for the raw data locally, bu

For meetings I host I'm trying to evaluate Jitsi as well, so far without much luck. I'm not hosting that many meeting and the one I did was with someone using Linux not getting screen sharing working. But Jitsi is on my shortlist

This is what I was getting at with my parent comment, it "just works" for everyone. But it doesn't fit some of the niches technical or privacy minded people have. And in the end, we are bound by the common denominator. I can

I think it's interesting to see the outcry when Apple poses new restrictions in the application distribution process (like signing and sandboxing) but conversely the same cries go up when there is an App that seems to be abusing loose

Which standard way? You have: - Install from App store - Drag and drop the .app from zip/dmg - Using a .pkg installer (mostly based on Xcode templates) I'd argue that a lot of users don't know all of these and some even run m

We just had a corporate presentation with around 250 people. Normally we use Teams or Slack for internal communication, this was also stated by management, that Zoom should only be used for 'big' meetings like this. I think they k

Not that I'm in favor of this practice, but the one key feature that conference software must have is: it just works™. Nothing turns you off more from a conferencing solution than: any problem getting it working right now. When there i

What's I found even more frustrating about google maps is that one time it promted me to perform a survey about the app itself. During a trip, whilst driving. It was not a local guide thing or a play store thing. It redirected to a pag
