It's unclear what point you're attempting to make here. You began by strongly implying that people should have known better for buying into a walled garden. My point is that people had no reason to believe there was a "walled

The "but what about emergencies" subject comes up often in the context of outright device bans. Such a feature would be no worse than a ban, nor do I think the concern about emergencies is justified. I realize that parents have be

I don't think we're using the same definition of invasive. To me, invasive would be a solution that compromises the privacy of the child or parents or both. Apple's work on driver's licenses comes to mind. The deep integ

When you buy a PlayStation 5 or an iPhone, you’re buying into a walled garden. People generally understand the implications of their choice of garden. Looking at this product on Amazon right now, there’s zero indication that there’s some su

This would require deep OS-level features from Apple/Google/etc. See my reply to a sibling comment for spitballing ideas, but I don’t think it’s necessary for this to be invasive. Another approach would be beacon-based, where the

Enforcement is definitely one of the sticking points, but seems solvable. The simplest option would be a geofence on school grounds, but I realize this comes with issues and kids will figure out how to bypass it. Another approach is to have

I forget who originally suggested this so I can’t take credit. But what if device manufacturers worked with schools to implement some kind of “School Mode” on these devices? Students could retain their access in exchange for schools setting

I think the key is balance. The people I’ve worked with who are the most effective and successful are really good at one or a short list of things, but have their hands in many other things. And often they’re really good at the one thing b

I appreciate that AirGradient has open source products, but the company repeatedly posting its own content here is starting to feel increasingly spammy. Air quality is a hot topic here so the posts often succeed, but why does this product h

I disagree. I do think it would incentivize new security products/libraries/services focused on helping companies fulfill their security requirements instead of rolling their own crappy solutions. If a startup cannot secure their

If Apple’s product is its users, who are its customers? > All of the privacy changes are not to protect the privacy of their users… This is reductionist, and multiple things can be true at the same time. There’s no doubt that Apple has

I’d replace “instead of” with “in addition to”. Going after data brokers seems like low hanging fruit, and necessary even if the ID system needs to be replaced. This is a top level issue that need to be addressed regardless. While I think i

Worth a shot! The first few days are by far the worst while all of the existing connections are accounted for, but things calm down quickly. One thing I wished I knew sooner was that the square [+] button on the rule dialog opens more field

I highly recommend you look at the UX before drawing any conclusions in that case, because what you’re describing does not resemble the OpenSnitch UX. The experience is much closer to the other common permission prompts I mentioned which is

Genuinely curious: how/why does that seem too often? I truly don’t understand. Have you seen the user experience and what’s involved? How do you feel about other common permission prompts, e.g. location, microphone, camera, share your

In terms of time spent, that amounts to about one minute per week for me right now. Sometimes less. The user experience is streamlined, and adding rules involves responding to a dialog that automatically pops up when a connection is attempt

Sounds like that varies widely by person/use case. I’ve been using this software for a couple years at this point. I don’t have to update rules all that often (usually a few rules/week), and when I do, it’s usually a 10-30 second

I’ve found that by using subdomain wildcards and/or subnets, I build up a stable set of rules pretty quickly and then only have to review requests to new endpoints once in awhile. To me, the peace of mind knowing that I’ll be prompted

Disruption without clear, specific and realistic goals is a distraction. I think the point is that many modern protests are pure disruption without any redeeming characteristics.
