I interpret that as saying "the data you're granting Spotify access to, they can access while you're not using the app", i.e. not broadening the scope of the data, just when they can use it.

The advantage is it means arbitrary programs can then interact with the Keybase filesystem, as opposed to having to manually copy the files you want to/from it.

Google Meet is a video conferencing app, not a telephone replacement. AFAIK there's no way to "call" someone. So Web Push seems to be rather irrelevant. > Network bandwidth on mobile devices is inconsistent, unstable, and

I didn't actually realize Apache 2.0 was "self-executing". That's pretty neat. My usual tactic is to just have a section in the README that says > Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally

While it's true that Safari only supports H.264, Google already produces quite a lot of H.264 video. In fact, Google has a Google Meet iOS app; I don't suppose you have any idea if they push H.264 to that app, or if they've a

My personal license choice at the moment is to dual-license my work under both MIT and Apache 2.0. This way the user can decide which license to use. Personally, one of my favorite things about Apache 2.0 is the license doesn't include

To be honest, I think it's pretty bad that the company with the largest influence on the web is also the company that controls the largest web browser. Chrome should be moved to a different Alphabet company and Google forbidden from pr

Google Meet still doesn't work with Safari, with no explanation. Safari supports the latest WebRTC, and AIUI Google Meet uses the current WebRTC standard, so why does Google refuse to let it work on Safari? This has to be deliberate.

That's simply not true. An accidental package is not "unordered merchandise". If it's got your address on it, but someone else's name, it's not your package and you're not entitled to it (in fact, you can&

What I "find reasonable" only applied to the sentence that contained it. Receiving accidental packages has nothing to do with "reasonable". If you receive a package that was not intended for you, that's an accident,

Given that most consumers don't have any reasonable choice in their ISP, it's counterproductive to blame the consumer.

Pretty much guaranteeing improper disposal. I highly doubt anyone who steals packages off doorsteps is going to bother to dispose of substances like that correctly.

Serving up ads that are known to be offensive to the user isn't just a lost opportunity to make money, it's also going to encourage that user to start blocking ads, which the advertisers and Google/Facebook don't want.

The appropriate defense against this is to simply not collect any information that’s not necessary for the product, and any information you do collect, immediately anonymize (ideally client-side) and never keep the original data. Unfortunat
