That's a fair point, small-d-docker should not be a thing.

I'm not going to support the general thesis of this article, but I want to address something you said. You're right that containers are not VMs, but that's only really relevant as pedantry of technical details. I think that w

Yep, I played a couple of the Arkham games on streaming services, the first one way back on OnLive before Sony bought them. It was fine. I now play games with some friends and while I'm using a local PC, they use Shadow PCs (ie a VM wi

I've had this on lots of laptops, but the worst was a thinkpad, whose only exposed metal was a little fingerprint reader that lined up perfectly with the softest, most sensitive skin of my wrist. I hated the little shocks from that thi

It's voluntary until it's not, like when valuable services become locked behind it.

> people can sell their property for as much or as little as they want This is correct, and when you figure out a way for people to sell only their data to FB/whoever, I will be right onboard, but while companies like FB are sucki

Well said, we have to get past this "well you have a choice" nonsense. Data is too easily acquired and cross-referenced for that to be remotely true anymore.

This is a fairly pointless comment, but since you asked, it's Section 2.1 of https://download.developer.apple.com/Documentation/License_A... which you may need to be a registered Apple Developer to view. So, a rel

"Oops, we got caught" is exactly the explanation. Everything about this app, from how it was coded, how it was signed, how it was distributed and how it was documented on google.com was done with full knowledge of what was going

I'd put an asterisk on "totally", considering the app is still available for Android[0]. They acted quickly when their hand was caught in the cookie jar, they didn't suddenly grow a conscience. [0] - https://p

I'm not looking down my nose at anyone who chooses to sell their data, they are very welcome to go and do that on Android. What I am doing though, is keeping watch for erosions of my privacy, and the privacy of the people whose data

This kind of program doesn't just suck up the data of the people who opted in with (theoretically) clear knowledge of what it means, it also likely pulls in data about the other people they communicate with using their phone, and none

Very much agreed, the friend-of-a-friend aspect of privacy is very rarely considered in these discussions.

Apple isn't specifically saving anyone here, they're specifically enforcing the terms of their Enterprise app distribution program. If, however, you want to make a wider argument about whether or not it's reasonable for Apple

Yes, Amazon Fresh does the same thing for grocery delivery in the UK (which is functionally equivalent to Ireland for this sort of thing).
