The SDK has now been relicensed as GPLv3, so it looks like the CTO did see the problem in the end.

It's the exact same GPU as in the MediaTek MT6855/Dimensity 930/7020, it's just the memory interface and clocks that might be different, slower or faster depending on what Eswin have done. It should run some games. For

In other words: bitwarden/clients is GPLv3; any Bitwarden client as a functioning whole is proprietary; the CTO does not see a problem with this; issue locked.

The KeePass ecosystem has gotten a little bit better. It's still not exactly seamless. File sync across all of Windows, Linux, macOS, iOS and Android seems to involve either proprietary user-hostile sync tools or dealing with lots of j

The mobile clients also have this proprietary dependency, from what I was able to tell.

So what you've done is redefine "application" to mean half of your backend? Meaning your privacy page, which claims "we don't & cannot observe what you are doing", is outright lying? Meanwhile you're

But this is a web app, so the encryption happens in a blob of JavaScript that you can update at any time. Users still need to trust you as much as they would if the data was encrypted server-side. You could maybe claim "application-lev

Okay, but permission prompts as such are not why people complained. Sure, of course you don't want apps to record your screen without permission. The problem is Apple has taken away your right to even grant this permission, for more th

What Apple are doing is significantly worse than UAC.

This is an incredibly bizarre view. Most people who play games don't consider them disposable trash. I don't quite understand why you would post this, given the context. You don't personally care about games, therefore the in

No, I think the current buzzword for that is "time theft".

Does the Nintendo-Tropic Haze settlement not count as court precedent? It was signed off by a judge after all.

My absurd pet theory is that this was related to their 2017-2020 dispute with Imagination. Apple started (allegedly) violating Imagination's IP in 2017. They were, at the very least, threatened with a lawsuit, and the threats were comp

There's likely to be very little funding for GLSL moving forward, and I would expect no major spec updates ever again, but vendors will probably keep publishing extensions for new GPU features and fixing things up. GLSL still has a fai

That seems backwards to me. Airlines are far more important than Slack, which is why they are regulated and Slack is not. They deserve no forgiveness for denying you service if you use an ad blocker, making you jump through ridiculous hoops

Safari on iOS does not support WebM.

There's no actual reason. The test is to see if you can invent convincing-sounding rationalisations on the spot. Or, in practice, to see if you've read any books about interviewing.

They were using Starlink to get live video from small maritime drones. As in, things that you can only fit a tiny non-directional antenna onto. I can't imagine trying to talk to WGS with one of those would go well.

Facebook execs have willfully enabled genocide campaigns. It hasn't hurt their ability to hire one bit. Why would this?

These points are only valid if the research isn’t bogus nonsense. Social science has a very poor track record in that regard, I suspect because bogus nonsense gets a lot of clicks.

It's not patronage if you don't pay. Google would rather not have you as a user if it costs them any amount of time to support you. The relationship here is adversarial on both sides and pretending otherwise doesn't help anyo

You claim in your other comments to not experience jealousy. This is the same as not valuing monogamy. That’s completely fine, but it means my comments aren’t for you. They’re for people like me, who don’t have your gift, but are perhaps vu

Browsers have decent backwards compatibility for regular webpages, but there’s a steady stream of breakage when it comes to more complex content, like games. The autoplay policy changes from 2017-2018, the SharedArrayBuffer trainwreck, gati

You can't just choose not to feel a certain way. It's quite difficult, and often a bad idea besides. Feelings aren't meaningless noise. We might have different ideas of security. If you don't value monogamy anyway, maybe

You might find it difficult to stay secure when your partner says you’re no longer good enough. Of course, some people don’t seem to mind this much. Or maybe this fancy new Bay Area “polyamory” memeplex works really well. I find it hard to
