I can’t reply to eloff directly but you are wrong, which is why we should base law on hard numbers and not „guesses“.

How do people reconcile that Snowden, who should be lauded as a hero finds refuge at a country where Vladimir Putin is president is frankly a much more interesting question.Btw: He doesn’t need to be a martyr to be a hero.

Providing a link to Resetera, the most self-aggrandizing and obnoxious gaming community that will whine just about anything.

I actually did that for my parents and in-laws and it went as you said. But there’s no alternative to Windows for a lot of professionals and gamers and that’s an issue. There’s no need for Windows to be better because they own that segment.

That’s not really the point here. The UI on command line apt is instant, regardless of the package size you always know what apt is doing at the moment. Compare that to any recent updater that just throws vague status messages at you with n

The juice is absolutely worth the squeeze. Everybody and their grandmas think Windows is a mess, yet theres no real alternative for most people, so there’s no real incentive for MS to make it better (or for a start, stop making it worse wit

Similar to how quora forces you to sign up if you click a link coming from a Google search. I just avoid these sites altogether. Unfortunately, I’m but a drop in the ocean.

It’s reasonable to assume it won’t, when you see how legacy UI was kept mostly unchanged at least since Windows XP.

If this would work we‘d all have speakers on while we sleep to learn languages, quit smoking etc. it doesn’t though so the scenario is just fearmongering.

Ah yes, sockpuppet. The term people use when they have good arguments.

The name lends itself for innuendos, so what? I can assure you that a person with sleazy intentions will find many ways to do that without a funnily named programming language. The name is not the problem. Also, a person's offense is n

This is harmless banter and anyone not resilient enough to handle this will face much greater distress during their working life. Adults should be able to handle childish humor and this movement towards infantilizing women seems a much grea

Why? To appease puritans? I‘d rather have them release a library for coq named tits (after the birds of course).

It’s also highly dependent on Luck and gambling is dumb.

Because Google still tracks me. With Google, even as a customer you don't stop being the product. That's the only reason stopping me really.

On the other hand there’s this tendency to put down any kind of criticism as dumb, implying the person “just doesn’t get it”. No, I get it, I’m just not impressed. It’s a low-tech handheld with a gimmick. My gut feeling is that the novelty

A pencil would be pretty ridiculous for the iPad, after all artists are not Apple's target group. Oh wait, we have have one, and suddenly the iPad is one of the best devices for artists. For developers it's even easier, because th

I remember when Apple treated developers like first class citizens, now they see them as a cost center that cost them 70% of App Store revenue.

What stops the iPad from being able to do these things? What actual restriction is there?

Did you hear about the epic trial?

This should be the top voted commen. This is similar to their claims about App Store security, on which they continuously fail to deliver. They want absolute control but don't give you absolute security and they are only ever liable if

That wasn’t true for iTunes where copying MP3s was trivial. Of course theirs still piracy, but why did the DRM-free Witcher 3 make millions of dollars? Your argument just doesn’t hold up with real life data.

Phrased differently you'll find these kind of statements in the testimonies by Apple execs in the Epic case. On the other hand your claim that: >Sellable desktop software became obsolete due to piracy. Is unfounded. Games are sella

Not on iOS. The biggest issue are indeed native notifications which I don’t believe will ever happen (unless Apple is forced to by legislation). Web Bluetooth is also unlikely to happen. Storage is another issue that is heavily restricted o

Yes you’re right of course, I should’ve phrased it differently. I didn’t see any criticism geared towards MS, so it kind of felt like shooting the messenger.

I’ve read some criticism towards this script and/or these kind of scripts in the comments. The criticism should instead be directed towards Microsoft, which decided to treat their customers (even alleged „Pro“ customers!) like babies a

Good point, bad framing. We should scrutinize Apple just as much. And they're doing it for much longer. At the same time Apple forbids Apps to push ad notifications (unsuccsesfully), which is even worse.
