The back alley cat line was probably the most intelligible he said the whole time.

The day your machine is compromised is also the day ALL your passwords get stolen.

It’s funny, because a quick online search shows gitlab runs operations in Saudi Arabia. But at least a bunch of idiot westerners get to feel good about themselves 🤷‍♂️

Ugh this kind of BS virtue signaling is so pointless

With such a broad definition you could call even Haskell an oop language

I can just as well say that the screenshot above is the top 0.5% pushed by people trying to sell the tech. I don’t really have an opinion either way tbh, I’m just being cynical. But my own experience with those tools hasn’t been impressive.

So you are anti natalist (whatever the fuck that even means), congratulations

Ah yes all those white people with German names in south america, their grand parents definitely moved there for the scenery.

Is mint slower than Ubuntu? A bit surprised to hear an Ubuntu derivative called slow

It really sounds like it. And then idiots will say apple was right when exploit come out

You just described a website…

I see, thanks for the explanation. After asking you I kept on reading the comments and understood how tpm helps with the auto decryption.

I still think full disk encryption with auto login is more than enough, at least that’s what I have, and as you can tell anyone can set that up easily.

But I’m confused, the decryption of the home directory needs the owners secret to be entered at some point? I don’t see how this solves Op’s problem (which I also don’t understand, you want encryption, you need to decrypt stuff at some point)

Lol you think they would just leave and pray everyone follows them? I reckon it would be hilarious to see who wins between iPhones and Instagram when influencers are shown a huge warning about untrusted apps.

No, the truth is that there would be two versions of the app with two different prices, to attract people to the alternative store. Which would probably be Facebook’s own closed garden, so again, a low risk for the end user (who would have also to opt into that “risk”).

I’m actually wondering, what does Facebook care about that. After all their revenue comes from ads, not in app purchases. Or am I missing something?

Having to pay a fee and then hope to have it waved is very different from what I’m saying. What about that hypothetical kid I mentioned, if his parents don’t care about paying that fee? Or if he doesn’t run macos?

And yes there would be malicious apps, that no one would ever install unless they wanted to.

Both of those have, again, absolutely zero impact on virtually the entire ecosystem and its users. The expections being the people actively looking to leave the garden.

So, I’ll ask again, do you have any actual argument to defend apple’s policies?

None of this would change. Congrats, you talk about a topic you don’t understand

Normal users are unaffected. Completely. A hundred percent.

People on Android don’t know they have this option at all (how many people are not using the play store?).

But sure, your ecosystem is going to be destroyed because a kid wants to try developing angry birds on his phone.

If only :(

German humour 🤷‍♂️

Up until 2 years ago it was illegal for doctors to advertise they performed abortions.

And there’s a difference between abortion being legal, and it being decriminalised (as if the case in Germany)
