    What I don‘t understand is how they differentiate this sort of „insult“ from “satire”. There are some protections around artistic freedom and you should be allowed to make fun of s…

    I assume what they mean is that - they might have to log connections to their service (like with ProtonMail), but they won't have to provide what data that user account has accesse…

    Well, yes and no. Currently, Swiss law doesn't support this and providing the IP is based on specific requirements for telecommunication providers as far as I know. But yes, the la…

    Ok, that‘s cool! But the client get‘s to download the encrypted master key without authentication, right? Doesn’t that enable easy offline attacks or is the decryption too time-con…

    Well, depending on legislation, they could be ordered to change the code to send the user password to them on next login for that account and then decrypt everything…

    Since it‘s a paid service with user accounts. You would be able to ban users that have been reported to use this service for illegal means. The same question can be asked to WhatsA…

    Well, actually Singapore is listed as #2 in "Top Overworked Cities in the Ranking"

    Yes, but I assume the rationale here is that they will only have to refund that month and can reset the clock for the next month. So if they have serious downtime it won't cost the…

    Yes, the same could and has been said about YouTube-dl. It depends what you do with the tool. If you are using it to download videos that specifically allow this, then there is not…

    I really wish there was a third party - the customer - actually represented in this trial. Apple and Epic arguing over what is best for the customer, while clearly they are having …

    True, you could stop using their products, but you could also argue that when you buy a product (and not a software license), you should be able to do what you like with that produ…

    I agree that R has it's benefits, but zero of the points in that article appear solid when you actually spend time with Python. Have to choose Python 2 or 3 for a new project? Gues…

    Yeah, it's the problem with that article in general - the author doesn't appear to have decent experience in Python and if she/he really thinks PyCharm is not a decent IDE, then I …
