That statement is true for the users that both bought and didn't buy a Macbook (with Linux support). The difference is, the one who bought has paid money for the Macbook. I am not an Apple user. Do you _have_ to pay for iCloud if you b

It's not like users will just stop using the services. Rather Linux users will start considering MacBook as a potential laptop to buy. How could that possibly disrupt their Software/Services infra?

Wow. I'm a Linux user and I have to use Mac for some work related tasks. I genuinely hate Finder and was going to lean back and enjoy reading this article. This went into a direction I didn't expect at all.

A bit weird to observe how the facade cracks when they're talking about it. Maybe I'm wrong but the whole thing felt very weird to me. Can't put my finger on it.. I want to say immature, but it's probably just unempathet

I understand what you're saying, but corporation is made of people. How is this communicated to my hiring manager and why do they agree to play this stupid game?

Any non X source for this so people who don't use X can have a look?

It's not invasive generally speaking. My healthcare provider allows me to access e-perscriptions via the app. But for that there are certain security requirements which this particular Healthcare provider equated to "Android good,

I highly doubt companies who did that reasoned out of supporting GOS, so I'd be surprised of they reason back in.

Some (European) banks/healthcare apps block GOS and require stock android. Just saying

Ask me in 10 years. If I call it now it will make the prophecy fullfil itself even earlier.

I don't and never have used twitter/X so perhaps my view is skewed. But unless this is software running on my machine it being open sourced doesn't really give any insight into what is running on the server. To be clear: they

Why would apple care? Eu is what a quarter of their business? And where exactly will those people move? They're locked into the Apple infra.

So you are saying we need to conduct trials on a representative set of bayesnets of say.. 200k and then it'll be conclusive?

does it ease the strain on the eyes? I believe that's individual and hard to measure. If it helps OP then I see no issue with it being useless for sleep. I tried using f.lux a decade ago or so. Deemed it not helpful for myself

That's not my point. Rather that any self-hosted solution would. Encryption is completely optional and can be illegal in some places. As long as you trust the endpoint you only care about encryption in transit. If your devices are seiz

Encryption in this case is irrelevant. If they get the encrypted backup they can already charge you if you don't decrypt it. Self-hosting is the way obviously

What's the difference between this and wiping when under duress using the special PIN? If you aren't being checked you don't wipe and are gopd to go.

What am I misinterpreting? OP literally said they don't understand why a journalist would carry these data with them. As if the data is a file on your phone. Data can be a contact book on your phone, or a messenger with E2E encrypted m

So delete messengers, email apps and other comms? Delete the contact book? Clear calendars? Where exactly should one stop?
