that was forced on some cheap androids between version 3 and 4.

after 4.4 they dialled it back to instead of required now they only apply some seven dark patterns to try to trick users into thinking it is mandatory.

same effect to most users, zero regulatory consequences

Firefox 75.0 6 years ago

and companies copying features no user asked for from the top competition is even more expensive and dumb.

it's like gnome giving up all its good differentiating features during the great rewrite just to mimic osx, no matter they were in a cargo cult mindset copying even the flaws, shortcomings and bugs.

here Mozilla is copying Chrome's abusive forceful use of google's services from the UI, no matter if the user wants or not

again, i hate apple. but you are being disingenious.

if I replaced your screen with a malicious one that stores images and touches to later steal your pins, i could just wait the low time limit, give it to you and hope you never checks the buried down setting screen.

this way it brings the evil-maid-attack down to zero, as the user have 15 days to see the atack. and the forever-setting is only meant for ppl buying a new device.

wait, if i read that rigth it will just show a notification. what's wrong with that?

I hate and never buy apple devices for many reasons, but telling me the device was tampered with, with no side effect (heck, they used to brick devices before for even less than replacing the display)... but I mean, if they really cared about the users they would also show the new serial, hash, whatever they track so that the user can keep the same tampering protection after they got one replacement

my hot take: this is all because we are engineers designing social networks.

think about it. email, twitter, etc. it all works like any network protocol meant for machines. it is cheap to spam. there is no middle ground between anonymity and spam. each node must handle their own peers. etc.

what if it was designed by actual sociologists or people that actually deal with human, instead of engineer. one would hope in such world tweeter would reduce exposition to all those accounts, because people around me that I trust do not engage with or outright block them. also I could have means to benefit of all that network without rendering all my information to the service. etc.

in summary, we are to blame for most of it.

who pay for a service like what they offer?!

makes no sense. unless they have the best salesman in the universe for a very niche market like legal or health. is that the case?

yesterday a german ship rammed a Venezuela navy ship.

a month before an oil tanker went down north of brazil, still zero clues which tanker it was, at all.

the sea is a very big place. we barrely hear all the weird stuff in the mainstream media. well, maybe not the baltic, that one is not so big and have too many eyes... i see your point.

elixir is npm for erl.

the single example you need to know to snub it:

   x = 1
   x = 2
thats valid elixir. you're better off using javascript or php at this point

the only thing C missed was a stdnet lib, with things like starting a network daemon and http parsers. oh and a decent list stdlib that everyone could agree on and build the rest on top.

had that happened a while ago, we would never have seen php et al.

by your logic everyone should have been living pay check to paycheck when interest rates get low.

but that's not even the craziest thing in your comment. it's that you are probably a salaried worker making excuses for the boss. it's a crazy crazy world.
