Rubber hoses still exist. I think GP was trying to correctly point out that having a single point of failure is a weakness in any system, cryptographic or otherwise.

I blame them both: The company that choose to use this awful law, and the ones who actively choose not to repeal it.

It doesn't. It only improves Apple's control.

If a comet hits CA tomorrow and the company collapses, do you think I would still be able to "control" my device? What about patching it up or installing a new system? People who buy iOS devices don't control them. Full stop.

The argument here is that most agree that including fine-print in a contract most people don't read, can't realistically understand, and can't even renegotiate to allow yourself to do awful things is abhorrent. Well, most do

But this isn't what GP is saying. No one is claiming that Greenwald is infailable. What I believe GP is pointing out is that someone who has worked on stories of similar caliber, like Greenwald, is likely to be a better judge of whethe

Your understanding is not correct. Open source does not only mean than you can view the source. If you're not familiar with the term, look it up. Don't make things up.

by hda2 6y ago
Open source was coined by the guys at mozilla to avoid the ambiguity people are trying to create. Open source has a clear and well-defined meaning and it's not defined by whether the source is viewable.

What about a commitment to providing customers with proper hardware schematics and detailed datasheets? (yes, even if the board itself isn't opensource) I lost faith in using raspberry pi 4s because the foundation is very tight-lipped.

Wishful thinking buddy. It already happened so many times for so many media formats that it /will/ happen with Spotify. Unfortunately for both of us, downvoting some random post online won't change this outcome. Cheers!

Don't worry. They'll add the ads back a couple of years later just like cable TV. Ads are far too inciting to be left on the table. Costumers be damned!

Not only did it work well for the linux kernel, but it also worked well for the gcc, blender, gimp, inkscape, vlc, and so many more. The GPL works.
