It’s a one time $5 fee, integrates with the files app and generally has a few features that are not part of the base OSS app, such as the background syncs. It also sometimes gets affected by bugs that are not do not affect the “vanilla” syn

Not sure how the apple rant is related to the post but; I use syncthing (via mobius sync) on my iphone and am quite happy with it. It seems to be OK with enough background syncs as it is, but to top it off i added a shortcut that keeps the

If you want to run with this argument, they have been at war since 1948, when all of Israel's neighbors including Lebanon invaded Israel following the UN vote to grant Israel statehood and Israel's declaration of independence.

I’m sorry, this argument is not worth my time. Please go vent your anger elsewhere.

I looked at the several of the links (1,2,3,5 to be exact) and unfortunately they did not support your claim, so I didn’t bother with the rest. That is, unless you start with the premise that an app store on a closed platform must be open.

FWIW emacs org mode, arguably one of the best note taking applications, supports gpg encrypted notes out of the box.

It is usually the onus of the person making claims to substantiate them, not others to find contrary evidence. So far you have completely ignored/missed my argument and are using your premise that there is preferential treatment to pro

One interesting point that I think is often missed, is that solar and wind produce energy roughly at an anticadence to each other and so storage is of significantly less of a requirement than one might imagine.

by shwouchk 3y ago
Can you substantiate this claim? And explicitly, the OP is not a valid example, since it is the subject of debate and that would lead to circular reasoning - I don’t see the current ruling as preferential in the least.

by shwouchk 3y ago
Indeed. And if a company wants to deal with US consumers, they need to comply with US law. That’s reasonable. And if/when some companies get referential treatment, you get (justified) uproar.

The difference is that apple is and always was, explicitly a closed platform. Take it or leave it. Google on the other hand, tried to market android as an open platform with eg many OEMs producing hardware for it, but the reality is that th

FWIW I don’t use FF on the machine where I have the certificates installed, and before I setup network adblockers, had only clienside ones in chrome, and used edge mostly for the sites that needed them, for the past several years. The UI ca

Could you provide some references please? I use client certificates since they are required in my line of business and had the impression that they are only presented when asked for by the website, only I explicitly allow it. Other than the

Not sure I follow your point re global government, so I’ll return to your double down. If there’s a fundamental property of the universe that disallows public cryptography then it’s a fact of life. What baffles me is someone’s desire to rea

Do you forsee any sort of positive impact from destroying the ability to transact online?

As a consumer of paid products (as well as simply human), Im against being lied to by those who sell them. However, advertising is not contract, and I wouldn’t want to hear the legalese of a contract whenever someone tries to sell me someth

But that’s precisely what drives the reasonableness decision. If you are paying for the product directly, do as you like. If you are paying for “unlimited”, expect an eventual harsh wake up call if your usage costs above and beyond what you

Please. Last time I had to solve a captcha it was wasted 15 minutes (not exaggerating!) of my life, clicking on an endless stream of bikes, motorcycles, buses and stoplights. As punishment for using a vpn.

As I and others mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, there was at least a year of warning. At least I was aware of this for about a year out. Tape is cheaper but not free. A quick search[0] quotes it at ~few $ /TB/Yr. Even if

They did have such a plan. In fact, to get unlimited storage, an individual had to buy 3 (And I think later, 5) seats. And it was indeed not limited, at least as far as I could tell. Until these got abused, my guess by pirate crowd to sto

I believe the object of discussion was google who /did/ have a Chuck-A-Rama like offering. Specific common sense amount is an unreasonable demand. How long should a customer be allowed to stay in a buffet? Is it an hour? 1:30? 3 h

> What matters is if not thinking the data would be deleted is a reasonable interpretation. Full stop. In what world would it be reasonable to expect Google to pay thousands of dollars per year indefinitely to store your data for free?

I respectfully disagree. They were clearly given enough notice - from personal experience as I’ve commented already, as well as from sibling comments. If you are still “figuring this out”, I daresay it is simply because you haven’t used the

Sorry, but I call FUD here; Had a very similar experience with google, except with maybe 20tb rather than 200, and no data loss. They gave warnings at least a year in advance about the transition to google workspace from google for business
