You're often required to complete 5-10 captchas, and sometimes even after that, you get denied. Had that happen to me multiple times.

Glad you mentioned it. This also has happened to me many time. It is unfortunate botnet and spam has give IP addresses bad names.

This is what happens when a charismatic leader of a tech company dies (2012). Who ever is running the company doesn't have the essence of what created iPod. Just mass consumerism now.

Quite literally, the only way to use HyperCard is to get a hold of an old Mac – or emulate it, but emulation always falls short of the real deal. That’s why HyperCard alone is a pretty clear reason to use Mac OS 9

Not to mention Beautiful Doreena! Misses Mac OS pre X.

this sites are the exact reason why I browse without JS by default. There is no business a site should know how many previous web site I have visited as well as my CPU. All these JS API ought to be able to disabled by default.

Not sure if we can trust anything coming from FB or Google type of large corp under US national security surveillance capitalism state (with conflicting business model against user privacy) regarding what they really do with user data. Any corporation with association with the intelligence agency and the military industrial complex can not be trust.

Big Sur has been out for 3 months now and the company I work for, like many others, has a blanket ban on upgrading to it because of mountains of compatibility problems with mission-critical software.

I have being a Mac user since Apple II. All these changes really saddens me. Can we start some kind group similar to class action law suit to pressure Apple into changing this kind of behaviour in Big Sur. If not enough people upgrade, maybe they will have skip a version and come out with something more light weight. I think that happened with Snow Leopard ( don't remember the exact one).

Thank you for saying that. There was an interview before Carl Jung passed away, where even he talked about how in certain situation where arch type changes. We all ought to view tests like Myer Briggs as a way to shade light on people and their ways of being.

That is why we should have a custom app for contacts with custom encryption (like keepass) to store our real contact. So not any app or apple or google has access them.

For some ppl like political of activist fundraisers, contact info privacy are utter most important. In fact some of them still store it on rolodex, and will not put any of that into digital form. And as a software developer I actually support that tremendously.

Route 53, S3 storage, load balancer, everything is encouraged to work other AWS services! Smells much like what MS was doing. Don't get me wrong, it is more open than Google Cloud and Azura.

Google Cloud, AWS, MS Auzra are made to lock you into their system. I guess if fine if you are ok with it and you don't have an experienced systemadmin/dev op on hand.

There are plenty of cloud agnostic platform out there that does VPS, load balancers. digital ocean, linode, etc.

If you want to be green there is also the Advania they use geothermal energy. And since it is in iceland better data protection policy than US companies.

I'm not affiliated with any one of them, it is just from year of cloud provider hopping.

Hmmm the main issue is not an App Store. It is rather how Android is packaged. There is F-Droid type of store out there, it is just that it is not in the play store. As for iOS there really no proper way to install except jailbreaking any way. The bottom we don't need another App Store, rather a FOSS distribution of OS for Android (e.g: https://www.replicant.us/about.php ) that kind like the Debian distro for desktop Linux. As for iOS, is Darwin still open source, maybe a distro for iPhone with an open source Darwin fork?

Yup thank you. Web is only now coming to terms with desktop application development world of doing things. While I support the movement, however there are too many legacy stuff in the web and how front end developer use JS like jquery type of thing to manage a document base page. Maybe there should be a mode like 'stric mode' to support two way data binding.
