I think you're getting to the the crux of it. Exactly What actions make it seem like the other person has branded you as untrustworthy? Would a cashier counting the money you gave them be a sign that they don't trust you? Or an ai

I would expect someone with principles to behave differently. There certainly are principled people at Google (the recent-ish google walkouts come to mind). Maybe the principles I'm thinking of are no longer valued at Google.

As you alluded to, if you only judge something in its most optimal setting, then of course that thing seems very workable and successful. There are very few objective truths when it comes to WFH policies; there are only compromises that peo

If Google has their way, a big chunk of the web will be absorbed by AMP. I don't understand why so many talented people at Google continue to support this kind of takeover. It goes completely against the hacker ethic that built the int

It's ironic to see this news as social media companies fight against online echo chambers, and social media bubbles.

Unfortunately, this is not possible on their consumer OS branch (unless you hack the system, but I have found that it often makes the OS unstable because its in an unsupported system state). For me, our IT manages the systems. They get to d

Today's software is vastly better in UX than software in the 90s and 00. Certainly I don't attribute all of that to telemetry, but your opposite view is incorrect.

by ksk 6y ago
What are you basing this on? Are you talking about Windows or just random telemetry?

I fully understand the frustration after seeing people having their computers reboot in the middle of presentations and other important events. That's why they made multiple products. Consumer OS = you don't want to be the sysadmi

by ksk 6y ago
Agreed. I think MS has decided (for better or for worse) that the average user is not a good system admin, and/or a consumer OS shouldn't require one. Our IT maintains W10 pretty well. I have a test box in my office and I regularl

There are several ways to approach the curation/kid-friendly problem. You can have simple curation apps (which are banned in the current appstore AFAIK) that are not full stores but simply point to an app store (apple or non-apple). Yo

I agree with this policy in principle, but a ton of non-technical people in my office know that the recycle bin in Windows is never automatically emptied and rely on that fact (scary!). The 'expectation' can vary based on your exp

by ksk 6y ago
Well, then the good thing for you is that you have to simply not install those other stores, and keep buying from Apple's official app store. Why prevent other users/devs from using them?
227.
by ksk 6y ago
Or, you can have multiple app stores and kid-friendly app stores will specially curate apps to make sure there is no adult content, or other unwanted features. We already do this with a wide variety of physical goods. Apple doesn't get

That is great, you can avoid using app stores you don't trust. Why prevent other users from using stores they trust? Apple isn't the only company that can run an online store. There are countless online web stores selling all kind

If you build an OS + hardware, how are you assuming apriori that you have users and also developers who write software that targets your platform? But anyway, the answer is no you should not be legally mandated in your case of boutique prod

Its not on the outside of the box, its on the inside. Apple forbids in-app discussion. I wonder what Apple would say if the app had a browser component that directs users to a web-page. These draconian rules are such a clusterF* hope these

>If you do want to use Firefox on iOS (irrespective of having your logins there or not), Secrets is also able to fill in FF using iOS's Password AutoFill feature. Well, that solves my problem!

This is the first I've heard of Secrets. Seems like a cool product! I've been relying on FF to save my web logins, but annoyingly iOS opens up links in Safari and I have to re-open them in FF to get the auto-fill to work. Any futu
