Most devs of most OS X desktop apps are convinced their junk is important enough to pollute LaunchAgents with and none ask for permission. Be a "normal" user, install software you think is useful and you'll end up running a h

A small, idiotic part of me wishes this actually passed. Let's just get this over with as quickly as possible. Let the EU purge their bottomless need to "save" the world and write as many regulations as they have in them, or

Serious or not, here's hoping it will once the feature is out of its infancy. Tangentially, Ace[0] appears to be the only editor outside Vim proper that has managed to implement a half decent Vim mode. It's the only such editor I&

As far as I can see, the request that asks for the font is a simple GET. So does this mean that an HTTP request to third-party X, who will log the user's IP, User-Agent and possibly the origin, will now require an agreement with X and

If the regulation in effect forbade anyone from using a service that did not do that, then yes, it very clearly would be. That doesn't mean the two (the GDPR and a fictional law that did just what you said) were equally prohibitive, in

The point of the GDPR, as I understood it, is to protect the privacy of users. It does this by limiting users to services that fall within the constraints defined by the regulation. In this sense, your own preferences and will have no mea

If you and the small group of people are the only living creatures on the planet, then absolutely! That is to say, this isn't really comparable, for obvious reasons.

But I'm not railing against _a_ privacy protection law, I'm railing against the GDPR. Fundamentally, for the simple reason that I want the freedom to with my data as I please, regardless of whether or not the service I want to use

To be clear, I'm annoyed as a user too. Partly by the discrepancy between the claim that I now have control over my data, but can't actually use it since the small independently run services can't accept my data even if I wan

In the specific case of XMPP, wouldn't I need to have an agreement with every other admin who federates their XMPP server and work out what exactly our roles are as defined by GDPR? XMPP still has active development community around it

My biggest _annoyance_ with GDPR and its advocates is the constant touting of "giving users control over their data" when in reality it is hindering voluntary actions that by their nature require some of "my data". If I

Slightly off-topic: Is there a short history of the GDPR somewhere? History might be an odd word choice given that it isn't even in effect yet, but I'm simply referring to something that documents and chronicles what parties or in

Ulysses has a custom markdown feature that I thought was great. The only problem was that you couldn't use it without opting in to use their own file based storage schema. So if you wanted to store your writings in "regular"

It seems like you're suggesting that it's a non issue because of the assumed benevolence of the regulator.

I've made the same observation and I'm very bothered by it. People who make positive generalisations based on ethnicity clearly have no qualms about judging individuals they know nothing about based on their ethnicity and this is

The only issue here is that WhatsApp lets you see the status of people who don't have you as a contact. The rest is utterly underwhelming. One thing I loved about ICQ-esque IM services was that you could clearly see whether a contact w

Fastmail's Standard plan also includes up to 600 aliases and up to 100 domains. Even if you've only got one domain you'll use, I can't understand how anyone is willing to tie their main domain to servers that will only l

Sure, those seem like good reasons but for a different use case and different from using ProtonMail as your main platform for daily email etc.

I was looking into possibly switching over from Fastmail while I happened upon the 5 alias limit and couldn't help but chuckle. I'd have to have an acute need for encrypted email to overlook that.

This is still the case as far as I know. This is not a viable option for a business entity. Probably not even for an individual depending on what you do with it and how ok you are with breaking the EULA.

Mapping caps to ESC is not really an option when you have it mapped to something else already, and I'd imagine a lot of devs do.
