It seems like you're agreeing with what's being quoted: risk of any sort is, well, riskier (in many cases, impossible) for the unprivileged. Maybe I'm misreading you or the quoted part.

Why do you say that it was probably introduced in the GM seed? Is something in this area known to have changed significantly around then?

This is true, though they do also explicitly restrict using other engines for web browsing: 2.5.6 Apps that browse the web must use the appropriate WebKit framework and WebKit Javascript.

So how about "Apache Clientless"? The name doesn't have to describe the entire functionality of the product, but it's nice for it to have some relevant signifier you can mentally associate with something.

Wouldn't the simpler explanation be that Gnome was correct in their belief of what Apple's philosophy is? :)

Come on. They produce multiple entire platforms including hardware (including CPUs and GPUs), OSes (kernel to APIs), apps, a browser, developer tools, services, etc. There are literally thousands of interesting things to work on at Apple.

Businesses that provide or allow iOS devices need to be ready when new OSes are released to the public, which can easily be done since Apple offers regularly-updated betas for months in advance. This is particularly important because even m

We don't have basements in Texas. Which has always seemed like a bummer to me because they sound useful, even aside from nuclear war.

The X is very close in size to the non-Plus phones. (As someone who doesn't mind big phones, I'm really hoping for an X Plus next year.)

Aside from being able to disable Face ID by squeezing the side buttons, it apparently disables and requires a passcode after 2 failures (compared to 5 for Touch ID). It's not clear yet to me what counts as a failure, though: if someone

There are also lots of people in abusive (or just "problematic") relationships for whom some privacy around their phone can be extremely valuable. That's why I'd prefer the societal norm to be NOT sharing credentials. Wh

They could make it so that the crown is used for text entry, but I don't believe any version of watchOS ever has done so yet.

Seems a strange complaint when janitorial positions (which aren’t often held by college educated white guys) are under discussion. Presuming we want people to have good lives who aren’t able or inclined to do jobs requiring much higher inte

By itself this doesn't prove that it's unsustainable. In fact, there's plenty of evidence around us that it is sustainable, since it's quite rare for states to collapse due to debt (that wasn't caused by exception

It's also (to many) a creepy usage of the data. It's reminding you that it's watching you — and not (primarily) to help you, but for somebody's profit.

My guess is those CEO's were flooded by "concerned customers" who were probably as fake as so many twitter/facebook bots. Thanks for adding this random made-up idea to the discussion.

I grew up with BASIC as a gateway drug, too (that's a great way to describe it on a number of levels!) and PICO-8 and the like are the closest modern equivalent I've seen to that kind of environment. Simple games with simple graph

I don't really see why a distinction would be made there. iOS's and macOS's process models are being made more similar as time goes on. And as a heavy user of both platforms I'd find it surprising if it didn't behav

I could probably be convinced that a bit of decline has occurred (though, its a different world with some different priorities/urgencies, too), but "shadow of its former self" massively overstates it IMO.
