Sorry, but this is just not adding anything. I have run fleets of Macs before and borked installs are rare to say the least. To suggest it’s a meme is simply ridiculous. As to app compatibility, similar things happen on Linux. From years of

So should why should I trust anyone ? The crux of these arguments is essentially anti-capitalism. That’s fine. But be upfront about it. There is a debate to be had around the ethics of privacy in a capitalist free market economy. In this i

It’s still about trust.

Or what you’re saying doesn’t add to the conversation. Simply blaming ‘fanboys’ isn’t useful. I don’t think any of the responses to you post believe that Apple are the “be-all end-all” of privacy, but they are arguing that for the typical

You do know that iCloud isn’t owned or operated by Apple in China? Much like Microsoft/Office 365, it’s owned and operated by a state owned business. This is true of a lot of large cloud services that run in China. I’m not saying it’s

Yes. I know. He has literally articulated the fact that is straight out of Jobs’ playbook to. It’s ironic that Apple find themselves on the receiving end! And just too.

According to the OED and paraphrased from the 1989 edition — arguably before spellcheckers were widespread; the use of -ize, for instance, is dependant on the root of the word. Words that stem from Greek, with the transitive sense of ‘mak

Saw this on YouTube last night; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XLZ4Z8LpEE A facinating video that is part of a series going into the restoration of a 1930 Model 15 Teletype. In this video, they use it as a terminal for Li

Another issue with encryption is the other aspect of security; malware detection. Since E2E encryption happens at the MUA level, and most spam/phishing/malware scanning is done either at the MTA level or by a gateway, detection be

I'll totally accept that "privelege" the wrong way of phrasing it. However, philosophically the difference between what should be an invoidable right and weilding that right is decided by the commons, or at least it is how

Again, point is totally missed! Simple terms, and perhaps a better way of framing my point. Whichever way you choose to look at it, freedom of speech is a responsibility granted by society that is taken too lightly. Society needs to reframe

You have missed the point I'm making. I actually agree with what you say, but I'm suggesting taking a different point of view, and placing ethical and moral value on speech, by dropping the clearly emotive "free" and

What? How is that an attack on “free” speech. I’m saying that people abuse free speech. Its a privilege to be able to voice your opinions openly. I’m not suggesting it should be curtailed, quite the opposite — it should be revered and treat

For what it’s worth, we see this level of “smugness” from GPL proponents everywhere. Especially the self-superiority. It’s what puts me (not that that has a massive impact on what anyone thinks!), and I’m sure others, off being part of the

Its a wonderful idea, but I fear there are too many blocks in place at the moment to achieve this, technical literacy being the main one. The reason that people go to GMail, Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail) and other services is For the con

Exactly this. In fact, I’d suggest it’s a massive circular argument. A lot of the vehement ‘defence’ of Apple I see is usually in response to some outlandish claim being made against them, which is often made in response to a gushing anecdo

Trouble is opinions can take on a life of their own. Not everyone is sensible enough to read opinions as just that. A lot of these articles are written with a tone of authority; espessially the ones from data scienctists. Discussion is fine
