I will never understand how people expect software to gather no telemetry or metrics whatsoever.

ferralcat@monyet.ccto Technology@beehaw.org•Apple will require notarization for apps from third party app stores, and will disable updates for apps installed via third party app stores if staying outside EU18·1 year agoSigning doesn’t provide security of privacy protections. It just means you paid apple a fee.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•*Angry programmers noise getting louder and louder*1·1 year agoIsn’t that what a form is?
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible1·1 year agoGoogle and apple both allow pwas right now though, don’t they? I don’t think it’s a threat. It’s just apple trying to say fu to the eu. The eu will slp a billion dollar fine on them. They’ll pay it.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Open Letter to Tim Cook: Sabotaging Web Apps Is Indefensible4·1 year agoThey’re actually secure too. It’s always interesting to me how iphone owners are so concerned about security and privacy, right up until Apple tells them not to.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Chinese AI - Double StandardsEnglish82·1 year agoIt’s weird the us but wouldn’t even mention human rights abuses perpetrated around the world.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The fact that this double standard exists (I did this search today to confirm)English81·1 year agoMany people in abusive relationships don’t “fight back” because they’re emotionally abused as well, which seems likely relevant to someone searching for “x is yelling at me” (whatever the sex race or age).
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Games@lemmy.world•ELDEN RING Shadow of the Erdtree | Official Gameplay Reveal TrailerEnglish43·1 year agoHeh. I’m still waiting for them to discount elden ring enough that I can buy, play to the first boss, die a dozen times and then put it down to nevenr play again like I do most souls games. $10. $10 is my limit from.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•If Architects had to work like Programmers5·1 year agoLol. I pitched getting these last year and my boss laughed. “Have you worked with these people? They’re incompetent. They can’t tell you how a single thing works, let alone the whole system. It sounds nice to have, but we’ll have to do it ourselves”
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Firefox@lemmy.ml•Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy938·1 year agoReading this new CEOs job history on linkedin is kinda infuriating. She goes from intern to head of consumer products at Skype in less than a year. Just… Frustrating to read that while I am and manage really good people who struggle for decades in the trenches to get even paltry job opportunities.
But she got her MBA from Stanford so nepotism ahoy I guess.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Is anyone else worried about the apple vision pro?267·1 year agobecause it probably can’t get less bulky and look less dorky,
Airpods are probably one of the ugliest pieces of tech ove seen in the last decade and yet somehow it doesn’t seem to matter. Never overestimate apple’s customer base.
I thought this was disallowed by the app store.
Even that seems kinda half ass in this version. Like you think you’d be able to drag a window from your monitor outside the monitor. Instead, it just… Shows your monitor again.
I am not the target market for this device though. I’m not really sure who is, beyond the diehard apple people.
I do find it funny how quickly apple pr moves from the “when they do something they do it right” to “well this is first gen so we expect it has some flaws”.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Apple@lemmy.world•Apple asks its San Diego Siri quality control team to relocate to Texas163·1 year agoI’m just shocked to learn that Siri has (had) a quality control team.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Games@lemmy.world•Xbox Slammed For AI-Generated Art Promoting Indie GamesEnglish93·2 years agoI think basically every industry has been dealing with automation for 100 years now. Art is only unique (imo) in that they’ve been avoiding it for awhile. That’s why I only ride in vehicles where every part is hand made and assembled.
This guy’s argument would literally be that Mario maker is encouraging child labor because it doesn’t pay kids who make levels in it.
ferralcat@monyet.ccto Linux@lemmy.ml•Filesystem Hierarchy Standard - Reference Poster / Cheatsheet [Dark mode in details]101·2 years agoI’m surprised to hear /home is non standard.
Languages with null in them at all anymore just irk me. It’s 2023. Why are we still giving ourselves footguns.
I think they probably learned this number from the iOS tracking opt in. It’s not as large as people like to think. People don’t like being tracked, but they’ll trade it for free stuff pretty easily.
Firefox shipped sandboxing on Android years ago (before chrome) and then removed it. I’m not sure you gain much from it on Android. It eats up ram making performance crap on cheap phones and apps already run in their own app user context to isolate what they can access.
