You're going to sue Google for following the law of the land they're incorporated in? And demand that they - as a mega corporation - just ignore laws? How about making sure that your laws don't authorize ICE data requests? Ho

This isn't about you, it's about people who make videos for you. YouTube's competitive advantage is their ability to pay video makers, not their video playback tech. And to make a competitor that has any kind of traction, thi

When the number of ad blocking and downloading extension users grows enough to make a dent in their revenue. They're not in loss making business after all.

A competitor to YouTube needs to support paying the creators not demand content for free.

US army can deploy air force, tankers, soldiers and all the logistics together with Burger King anywhere in the world within days and somehow people that pay for it still think a simple rail in their home turf is impossible.

Yep, I was at a broadcaster when we bought a whole pack of their SDI capture cards... the only ones on the market really (everyone else wanted to sell you massively expensive enterprise "appliances") for a very affordable price (I

That's the default behavior on Android these days - using the share sheet strips location data.

Location data is off by default on pretty much all phones.

No, it's absolutely not the same.

Apple was massively praised when they started stripping location data from shared and uploaded photos.

In the 90s, as a program manager. And it's a big difference between building an application and a platform (I've done both) when it comes to API design.

No, I'm not - https://www.euronews.com/2025/07/02/france-and-switzerland-s... A lot of NPPs in France are cooled with river water and they need to be kept at low output if the rivers are too warm.

Having a continent-wide draught (or cold winter or other weather effect) is rather common though. Just a few years back Europe had a massive issue where draught caused both drop of hydro production and cooling for French nukes, causing ener

Joe Spolsky also never created anything as popular and widely deployed as Java. It's easy to bloviate about pure software when it doesn't need to literally run the whole world as you know it.

You're trying to make a difference where there is none. Yes, they didn't say "we'll attack wireguard". They said "we'll setup our processes so apps like will end up being abused to save us effort", wh

Android doesn't store message history unless you explicitly enable that feature and neither does Signal send message content to Firebase. You're angry about a huge amount of outright misinformation here.

Except that the system that removes culpability, visibility and consequences of this kind of abuse is set up deliberately to avoid liability and consequences of such actions. This isn't a tee-hee accident, this is deliberate organizati

Android also supports custom encrypted payloads so Signal doesn't have to give them to Google.

So you buy exact same generation of Intel and AMD chips to your developers than your servers and your cutomsers? And encode this requirement into your development process for the future?

Not assumptions, experience. I fully concur with that whole post as someone who also maintained a C++ codebase used in production.

If by invisible you mean "things randomly won't work and you'll smash your head in the wall trying to figure out why".

And yet you immediately started with an anti-cyclist whine while ignoring pretty much everyone else. These debates are so stupidly tiresome.

Yes, they still need to audit and whitelist the builds of GrapheneOS. That's what "standard APIs" are - they identify a build of OS, but someone still needs to make sure it's secure. If you don't want Google to do t

Did you consider that your talking about GROUPS of people where _some_ individuals from ALL groups regularly behave poorly and deserve criticism and action? Or is that too much of a nuance against tribal thinking?

It's a bit relevant to the conversation when the person making it has an incentive to deflect blame from their own corrupted country to evil EU.

This is exactly what the ID cards I'm talking about are. You tap them to the phone or a desktop reader and it works. You just invented something that already exists. eIDAS just takes this one step further and gives you an option to not

That's an interesting mindset, since those 30+ tech savvy millennials are the ones that actually still have some money to spend left on apps and similar crap.

What does your comment add to discussion instead of a pointless whine?

There's a small law called GDPR which makes this kind of pulls very illegal. Even for Schufa which doesn't forward your direct data.
