"- One object going out of scope may mean calling free once, but it also can trigger calling free billions of objects, even for the exact same object - Even freeing one object can …

The squeaking [spare] wheel got the grease.

It is painfully obvious that the "age assurance" push is to limit anti-zionist propaganda. I wonder who or what will abuse this infrustructure when they fail.

"or the culture shifts to reinterpret the thing" Yes. You see it already. "Actually it is good that I can't run programs that haven't been approved by Google on my own device."

Are any of those actually pauseless like he asked for?

"99% of apps would request it & not function without it" Apple could refuse to publish them, then. Isn't that why we are forced to go through the App Store? Because Apple ensures e…

Even that is overkill if all you're interested in is if a change occured.

I think something like a per boot delta added to a (per app?) random base would preserve such functionality.

Volume creation date is pretty egregious. I don't see any reason that and Pasteboard changeCount should be so granular. The "Installed Apps Probe" leak also surprised me. It is bet…

You didn't write it, though. And it is slop. If you had actually wrote it, you might learn from some of the criticism or be able to engage with it on an objective level.

On the contrary, you're only defending it because it is AI. If it were some other feature that many didn't want or ask for, you would empathize.

Wouldn't it be something if, given all the surveillance already in place, law enforcement punished the scammers instead of the innocent?

The keyword is "intentional".

Here's to hoping for a smaller phone with a fingerprint sensor on the back and a removable battery, as it's a given graphene will get the chipset right.

If the owner of a device can't sign and install their own software, then your definition of PKI doesn't "work" at all. The first party must be able to entirely decide that "some th…

Strange claiming you "called it', people were saying this far earlier than 8 days ago.

"once you set the watch up" This does require an iPhone though, right?

The sideloading change doesn't protect against abusive household members, though. Simple lock screen hygiene and periodic reminders about invasive permissions (e.g. accessibility &…

A straw man in your favor, maybe. Shall we compare the 100 least popular of each store? Those are more likely to be outright malware on Play.

Let's ignore all of the preinstalled programs, which are signed by Google and do a great deal of spying. Do you think the 100 most popular F-Droid apps do more spying than the 100 …

They are signed, though. Just not by Google.

It sounds like we largely agree, then, so I'm not sure what you were arguing in the first place. That because the companies are legally able to do this and that [hardware-based] ja…

It was an analogy. You're moving the goalposts and ignored the latter point. And I'm not a foss advocate, I just want to be able to run software of my choosing and without spyware,…

By analogy, if food was sold with poison in it, "hey man, you bought it, just remove it if you don't like it. not a chemist? crack a book buddy". And now imagine you had no means o…

You cannot (generally) install and run apps that aren't (recently) notarized, though. They do owe the service inasmuch as they require it for installing and running apps.
