And then what? The owner of the code is entitled to license the software as they want it [1]. If you dislike the license, then use a different program or fork the last version before the license change. I can fully understand the frustratio

I am really looking forward to using Sway. I briefly tried the beta and it worked very nicely. However, one problem that prevents me from switching completely is that with 2x scaling, XWayland apps are scaled up from a lower DPI, resulting

So this is another step for Apple to try to get everyone paying them their software development tax, since "notarization" requires you paying the $100 annual fee. I don't think Apple really cares about the fee. I know that

We have been using KVM GPU passthrough of NVIDIA Tesla cards for machine learning two years now. Works fantastically and makes such machines much easier to maintain.

I agree that it does not make sense for them. But in 1995-1997 Macs were still largely their core business. Now Mac is just a small portion of their revenue.

My Dutch ISP gives me a static IPv4 address (besides an IPv6 netblock) and allows me to purchase additional IPv4 addresses. They also offer various levels of port filtering, from no filtering to filtering port 53, etc. (Combined with fiber,

Despite the shortcomings of the EU, national politicians are also using the EU for shifting the blame of their own failings. In the longer term, this undermines trust in the EU and gives rise to populism. That’s not to say that people who v

Of course, other operating systems are vulnerable as well. The problem is more that for a long time the security model of Linux was that an attacker is interested in getting root access. This hasn't been true anymore since DDoS attacks

Honestly, a same-circuit "camera on" light is my preferred solution to this whole question, and I'd be happy to see the mic get a separate light or be tied into the camera circuit. The problem is that this doesn't help

I don't see why it would be any different on Linux. There will always be legacy applications that will stay on old toolkits and they cannot fully benefit from sandboxing. However, a lot of widely-used Linux applications that are on o

This is a parody. From the original Dropbox announcement on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 Unfortunately, similar parodies are posted as a reaction to many Dropbox-related posts, so gets a bit repetitive.

Ways macOS handles the this problem: 1. the File Open dialog is itself the permission prompt. And yet, there are quite some applications that ask you to open the home directory once so that it gets symlinked into their sandbox. It's

This is fixable on android / chromeos by specifically having applications request access to data which is isolated from arbitrary code execution (e.g. "user files" which don't include .bashrc). I think flatpak may need

We use the mirror like any other country (but we do not forget). Except that passengers in the back seats do not have mirrors. Although I never learned the Dutch Reach (but I don't have a driver's license), my dad always warned

I think this is a useful promise for customers. But what happens when you disappear from the web, after you bought a tropical island ;). How are people going to get the source code? Do you use some escrow mechanism?

The key feature keeping me in Apple’s ecosystem is their unwavering embrace of privacy. But so do Linux and BSD. A stellar laptop with good Linux support may be enough for me to jump ship. I have been a Mac user since 2007, but it is clea

I use NixOS, which allows you to define machines declaratively. To the points that he raises: How do you deploy your application? Just rsync it to the server? Define an overlay for your application. For a typical application, this is just

You set up wildcard MX records, such as for *.yourdomain.tld. With Fastmail sets this up automatically if you let them handle your DNS, though you can (obviously) disable it.

If calling max() changed the sequence, max does not change a sequence, it consumes the iterator. I would expect it would have to be declared as mutable max takes self (and not &self ), so the ownership of the iterator is move

kbfs is a network filesystem, whereas Dropbox provides file synchronization. kbfs does not work when you are offline, whereas with Dropbox the files are always available locally on your machine.
