My life has no meaning and I need this to feel something. Anything at all…

He’s been a libertarian douchebag as long as he’s been a public figure.

Yes that’s a concern here as well but it’s pretty easy to run your own instance in Docker or whatever

Facebook paid kids $20 a month to run this app: https://www.vox.com/the-goods/2019/1/30/18203803/facebook-research-vpn-minors-data-access-apple

These kids most likely didn’t see it as a VPN at all

@nifty I have nothing against Ruby and think it’s a nice flexible language. At the peak of RoR though, all the asshats were all over Ruby.

My problem with Ruby wasn’t even RoR, it was with the way the asshats valued ~~creativity~~ “cleverness” which seemed to mean writing code in the most cryptic ways possible. These folks took what should be an expressive language and wrote scripts that rivaled Perl’s worst “read once and never again” scripts.

This is the game I play on my Steamdeck the most. Great for five minutes or 45. I’m at ascension 14 or so.

Is that not what Matrix is? I haven’t been to really understand Matrix so maybe I’m wrong.

  1. There will be scores of people looking for evidence this new device is doing something Apple has not disclosed. This is how security researchers make a name for themselves.

  2. The engineers on the team building this product will not want to be associated with building something nefarious. These engineers are just regular people. You can find them online and speak with them. They look for jobs at other firms just like we all do. Unless they are being paid so well that they won’t ever have to work again, they can’t ruin their reputations.

  3. If you really believe what this post is purporting, I’ll remind you that you are most likely carrying a device with you every day that has a microphone and internet access. If you aren’t, you are still surrounded by people who are.

The claims this post is making will simply make people tune out or ignore real security concerns.

I don’t know any Netflix devs but I’ve spoken with devs of other apps that had to disallow iPad apps running in compatibility mode on macs because the iPad apps were very buggy as Mac apps. This isn’t true for all iPad apps but you have to make sure your app will run well before enabling compatibility mode.

I also follow a dev on mastodon (I think it’s the guy behind the Channels app) who made an interesting observation. He makes the case that it’s actually Apple TV apps that should run on AVP, not iPad apps.
