Is PHP still unhelpful when it comes to writing secure code? I remember when escaping SQL input data was "the correct way" to use your mysql database. Parametrization? Nah, just use mysql_escape_string or whatever it was called.

When you think of old phones, think of the touch interface on a printer. I don't like Apple either, they are DEFINITELY rent seeking and violating their users' privacy at the same time. There is no excuse for that. I think what th

Even when the so called "ad-pocalypse" happened, this wasn't as big of an issue as it is today. What's going on with Google being extra stingy seems to correlate well with the AI boom (curse). I suspect there are compani

If there is a kernel level feature to throw sections of a process memory into other namespaces then yes, that may work. If you mean running a xen hypervisor for sqlite.so, then no thanks.

The situation with bitnami is getting fixed, but it takes time for all the holes to be plugged. I knew bitnami were trouble when I saw their paid tier prices. Relevant article: https://devoriales.com/post/402/from-

This is a really good post that people should reflect on. There is something particularly dark and unjust about supporting the persistance of tyranny through the blaming of (solely or not) those who defend themselves.

Allowing users to sIdEloAde apps will compromise user security and privacy. Furthermore, Apple has always stood in solidarity with marginalized people and will continue to do so. /s

Lots of private companies do not want to be forced to pay Apple and Google a hefty chunk of their earnings either. That's what drove Epic Games and Spotify to fight Apple.

There is a lot of money to be made in locking down Android and iOS. We should be surprised if companies like Google and Apple are not spreading lies and trying to decieve the public. No morals can be expected from publically traded companie

What advice? I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean that there is no valid use-case where you wish to interrupt a blocking thread due to I/O, for example? Or maybe you think Python can do that. Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as

The assumption is that they never share memory. Any time you have an arbitrary independent task that can be started and then stopped by the user, you will need processes in Python. Java is a lot better at concurrency and has a vast library

Allow developers to distribute their apps outside of the app store, the cost apart for firmware maintenance and development will be 0. Apple is not bringing its users value by prohibiting sideloading of arbitrary apps. Rather, this is an ex
