The way you laid out the beats of your original comment made it sound sarcastic if you read it expecting the usual off-hand snark that's prevalent on the internet, so "makes perfect sense" would turn into "makes no sense

I looked into Sia since it's something I'd love to see working and I'd heard of them before. Last time I'd found that the biggest tutorial about how to practically get started had a big red warning and a huge manifesto a

I literally have never met anyone who spent that much time daily with their family while also having an intense job. Taken at face value it's nothing short of marvelous.

I once thought git for humans would be a great idea but never got around to speccing it out. Later on, a lawyer friend showed me the software they used 'for backup' (that they paid thousands per month for) and it turned out everyt

That is precisely the same idea I ended up on, that feels like the best option. Basically, as a caretaker, nowadays it is most important to curate 100% the kind of media your kids have access to, as otherwise it is impossible for them not t

I'd like to thank Microsoft. Their constant bloating and nagging and hostility has finally convinced me to move to Mint and it's been just great. I don't think I'd have done it without their help, but now I'm glad I

Like the article writer mentioned, this is a very important lesson, but if you're in the 10% of cases where you do require native functionality (like a chat app for example) you're screwed with Apple.

But it's a time bomb when you do that, your app'll expire and stop working after a short while. My dev friends who've never used an iPhone think I joke when I tell them that.

Your intuition is correct. According to [1] it can take 2 hours of browsing and interacting with transphobic content to get straight into neo-nazi content. Many people don't ever see such videos, and don't think it's on the p

I was actually referring to developer story with that CV thing, sorry, but most importantly it's not clear to me how or on which of your websites to apply if I were, say, a Colombian developer, and how to filter for jobs who'd acc

Millennials now nothing BUT inflation now. It's not a way of life, it's an agonizing, debilitating continuous death by a trillion cuts. There is currently a mass exodus of professionals from the country due to it - massive, and I

While talking to a lawyer is the best option, wouldn't this be one of the few cases where HR is relevant? You're specifically bringing to attention a potential liability/lawsuit from external sources.

But that's not the case at all with Android and has never been. I don't think any of that would happen, the vast majority seems to stick with the default app store, while the rare technical user who wants to sideload has the freed

It's sad but if you search for 'cereal', you're going to see the one with the awful title higher up in rankings.

But the question is why you shouldn't be able to sideload an app at all. Having a curated store is pretty cool, and you can have that while also letting users install their own apps manually (even with barriers, making it as hard as th

The reason is of course money. The profit per user on the Apple garden is light years beyond any other platform. I've seen the exact same app make 100 times as much money on iOS than on Android with half as many users.

When you're big enough, there's a chance that the boss's boss at Apple uses your app and will come talk to you and save you from The Process. Also, if everyone uses your app, when it breaks then people will not necessarily co

You can follow his own advice and deface any of his pieces you're forced to see until he stops doing it to you, morally. I wouldn't touch the legality of it with a 10 foot pole though.
