Which law, and how does it disagree?

If you’re a contractor, sure, same as always. If you’re an employee, you are selling a quantity of your time, not your results. Of course you will have to work the same amount of time. Your issue is with employment as a general concept, wh

Hackers are irrationally anti-corporation. This is where the nonsensical AGPL came from, too.

Why? In both cases the SaaS downloaded the whole web and derives 100% of revenue from content they didn't make.

So a private company sees a full set of PII for people in more than half of the states, with no opt out bc everyone MUST have a state ID to function. Time for a federal law banning the DMVs from outsourcing this stuff (or selling the bulk d

This is precisely what it is, which is why 27.0.1 will come out so rapidly, and will fix the immediate jank, and then 27.1 the next month (tbh it is probably already massively underway right now and 27.0.1 is likely in testing).

This is GREAT! It’s not possible to enable local-only dictation on iOS with the OS alone. :(

Apple’s scatterbrained OS-bundled software is just embarrassing at this point. Half-baked release after half-baked release. I’m convinced that modern Apple simply can’t ship good software any longer. The “headline features simply must not

Reminder: you can’t use any Apple gen AI without enabling Siri, and enabling Siri will upload your entire address book unencrypted to Apple each time you use it. You can’t use CarPlay without Siri enabled, so you can’t use CarPlay without d

Inflation over the last five years accounts for the first 25% of that 61% price increase. This means it’s only about +36% and not +61% as claimed. Huge difference.

The 2 party state thing is for phone calls. Outside of phone calls, you are generally allowed to record anything you can legally hear, same as you can photograph anything you can legally see.

The market didn’t decide it was needed, the users just downloaded a bunch of free files and free docs. There isn't any indication there was ever a real market. Using something free and paying for a product are entirely different thing

You don’t own your username on the systems of other people. People using Instagram usernames as identity is so insane to me. Why does everyone love sharecropping?

No CPU is sufficient for standard desktop UI these days. All UI is 3d accelerated now. Your statement would have been true 20 years ago.

The production of documentation is not free. As an Apple shareholder why would I want them to spend money doing this?

1Password is doing an integration with Meta? Good enough for me to stop recommending them.

AIUI, the successors used a hash of certain system configurations or directory listings to serve as the decryption key for the malicious payload, so that if you found the binary but didn’t have a target system also, it was meaningless.

GPU firmware interfaces being proprietary and heavily guarded secrets is in no way whatsoever an Apple thing. Even the Raspberry Pi is in much the same boat. Most of the time it’s an upstream vendor NDA. In Apple’s case they own the whole

Why wouldn’t bringing up an OS on new hardware be necessary? Apple has no obligation or incentive whatsoever to write Linux device drivers… Do you think Apple should be funding this work out of revenue? What possible justification could t

No, lack of GPU acceleration. Give me a laptop with sleep and HDMI output that has no 3d acceleration and I will give you back an unusable laptop.

How is it not? A platform deciding on a whim what sort of content can get your hosted site banned? That’s the definition of arbitrary and the definition of censorship. It’s not government censorship, but it’s censorship nonetheless.

No, the general concept of arbitrary censorship by web hosts isn’t fine at all.
