I don't know much about macOS development, but I am a linux developer by trade. Can you elaborate further on how linux doesn't do long-term healthy platform maintenance? I also don't understand how long-term maintenance can b

The same with Samsung printers division which is actually owned by HP. I think punishing a company for selling their trademark so that other companies can mislead their customers is a good thing. In my eyes, GE is just as guilty as Haier &a

The solution to leaking private information has been known for a very long time: Don't collect beyond the bare minimum required to render a service. Microsoft should not have collected anything beyond an email and a password. Payment i

No demand for work is being made here. I'm simply saying a project that isn't a toy project will be criticized if it doesn't behave according to community standards. I'd consider it to be social norms. It certainly isn&#

I don't know how to word this so I'll say it bluntly (and probably bear the blunt of this community as a consequence): If you're a developer of a project that is used in a security-sensitive context, you either be receptive

That's why I never use my real google account with my phone. Android phones offer too little control over what is perhaps one of the most important digital asset I own: my google account.

It's amazing what credible competition can do. If only C had the same kind of pressure.

Exactly. I've never considered voice assistants because I don't want recordings of me or my family being used for who knows what. I've just looked over the docs. I'll probably be playing with this very soon.

zero demand for a PAID Photoshop? If that's what the study really concluded then it completely failed to take into account current customers who want to switch to linux. I would love to read more about that study.

Even if the number of boards was small, there should be some form of tangible proof instead of them just going off statements of unverified "sources". I haven't read a single bloomberg article since they published that story.
