> Does it matter that GitHub themselves is not open source?

That's for Apache to decide, but consider:

Git itself was written, by Linus Torvalds, because Linux (the kernel) was using non-open source version control at the time called BitKeeper, and the non-open source nature of it was causing increasing problems in the Linux developer community, both ideological and eventually practical problems too, caused by the licensing preventing some devs from building tools.

When Git was written and the Linux kernel devs jumped to it en masse, it was like a breath of fresh air.

BitKeeper has credit for many of the ideas found in Git before Git. (Aside: credit also should go to Mercurial for ideas). One of the things that made Git better than BitKeeper was people were free to build more tools on it, which is entirely due to the open vs. closed source licensing, as well as a general attitude of welcome vs. unwelcome towards those tools.

GitHub is different because it already builds on Git, and works with tools that anyone can build on top of Git.

But some things which are really essential to thriving developer community are locked away in GitHub, so it's still limiting what people can build with it. (For example, can you innovate on how Issues are handled? Somewhat, but not in every way that is useful.)

In some ways GitHub is like any other walled garden. You can't fork it yourself.
I think the Morris is generally a slightly more serious affair than square dancing.

Also I think most that of those mocking Morris dancing probably do it from a safe distance!
I found the big blocklist collection to really help augment the lists of blocked URLs. https://firebog.net/ If you login to the web UI of your Pi-hole instance, you can easily add more lists in the settings -> blocklist tab. Specifically the "ticked" lists: https://v.firebog.net/hosts/lists.php?type=tick
With some caveats today: You get them later than those with the subscriptions. Sometimes up to a week later.

I'd also point out that on the Nintendo Switch subscription program, there are a number of games (such as Tetris 99) that you can't buy or play without being a subscriber.

And so, I'd argue that the change is underway, today.
This game is incredibly difficult in the first level itself.
Not multi-year, but my mother has a culligan reverse-osmosis system (their tap water tastes horrible). There are three filters, the first two get replaced yearly, the RO membrane filter lasts 3 years. Tastes indistinguishable from filtered bottled water.
Yeah I use Lob for a lot of my "write up a letter, print, and mail it with a written record of what I sent and when" correspondence. They make it super easy to send letters about as easily as an e-mail.

I am very clearly not the intended customer and appreciate that they're willing to take my business anyway.

I also used them for holiday cards two years back, which was

* Fantastic -- super straightforward to write up a small script to call their API and send 1 card to each person on our holiday-card list

* A little weird -- sending 70 holiday cards involved instructing their API to download an identical .pdf holiday card template from a remote server where I hosted that one file 70 times

* Cheap -- they printed and mailed glossy postcards at a very affordable price

* Ever so slightly disappointing -- we got to see maybe 10 of the actual mailed postcards from this run (on family's fridges, in the test copy we sent ourselves, and in the 3 or 4 postcards that we thought were addressed correctly but which were returned to us with an invalid address) and every single one of them had the same printing defect, what looked like a big scuff across a photo. Not sure what the deal was or why it was so consistent on every image. We didn't write in to support because I am pretty sure we are not the target audience.

Great service, A+, huge time saver vs. manually writing so many addresses, still a big fan.
You also have an obligation to help the police solve the crime you reported by providing all and any relevant information.

The issue is that people don't always know what information is relevant / they think stuff is too minor to mention.

You wouldn't go to a doctors appointment and then say my body is private you cant examine me and expect them to go off just the info you provide. If the doctor asks to stick his finger up your rear to check your prostate you don't say er no thanks that's too private. You assume he has a good medical reason that he wants to do that and you let him confirm that you are healthy.
On an ethical argument (not a what-does-the-law-say-now argument), it seems defensible for kids (over a certain age, perhaps) to have reliable channels that their parents can't monitor. It's how you realize your family is abusive and get help when they are (the same arguments apply to people in abusive romantic relationships having their own digital root-of-trust that their partner doesn't have access to). It's how you find out that other people are queer too and it's not just you when your parents won't tell you anything.

Your argument also has merit, and I don't know where the balance is, but I don't think it's entirely one or the other.
I could see it becoming something like "dancing plague"--an odd bit of trivia that won't come up except among people who are looking at early 21st century trivia facts.

During your everyday life, you are given a range of choices you can make. Within that range is moral/immoral choices. However, you are limited with what you can do given the range of choices. The most effective action is to shift the range of choices so that even the most immoral choice is tolerable given the scope of the problem.

Groups like the Extinction Rebellion are having the correct approach. The problem isn't solvable through individual action but via collective action. We need to change the range of choices everyone can make instead of picking the moral choice within a small band of possibilities.

So what I think will work is to get into politics and civic life.

a) Join and help political parties make climate the #1 issue.

b) If you are in the USA, join the Bernie Sanders campaign as the climate is at the top for his campaign.

c) Do civil disobedience, Join groups like Extinction Rebellion.

e) Talk to people about the problem and have them join the fight.

d) Write software to help a,b,c, and e!
Fasting has several benefits not related to caloric intake. It honestly has too many to list here, suffice to say that you should look into it a bit more.
I started writing PhotoStructure because I got tired of being burned by failed open and closed source media apps. I wrote more details about it in a top level post, but this blog post describes why I quit my job to do this full time, where the project is currently, and where it's going. https://blog.photostructure.com/introducing-photostructure/

I'd love to have you try out the beta and have you share feedback!
Yep, you got it right. That's what I meant. It was really hard to find the proper wording, there.

In any case, I am absolutely against slaving yourself for your employer and that is not what I meant at all.

Heck, I think 40 hours a week is too much -- I'd much rather see something closer to 32 hour work weeks, realistically.

Apple most certainly makes money off of ads. It isn’t a major profit center but according to the following article it is on track to rake in $2B by next year. Also they make a nice cut of sales via app purchases an in-app purchases. They. Definitely want you using your device as regularly as possible to capitalize on that revenue opportunity. Their stance on privacy and security is a marketing angle capitalizing on the fear currently out there as a result of people awakening to how much of the web is monetized (I.e. with ads).

Why go right to Saudi Arabia? Are they going to do more about spousal spyware in the US and Europe? It's a popular product, and in many places in the US the law is as tolerant of spousal abuse as they are in SA. We see thousands of examples every year of domestic abusers in the US and UK getting slaps on the wrist for things that would have been assault charges without a marriage license in play.

I agree, SA's culture promotes a toxic repression of women. But before Apple goes world policing I'd like to see them take a domestic stand, because last time I checked spouse spyware apps are still in the store and aren't auto-banned. Please correct me if Apple took action since then.
Can you? Please demonstrate.

This is one of the silliest arguments that comes up every time "SSL All The Things!" is discussed. The "you" in your story has to be both a Bad Guy and your ISP, and needs to come up with a way to sabotage a site that shows you cat pictures in such a way that it shows malicious cat pictures that somehow do anybody any harm.

So yeah, please MITM this site for us real quick so we can see all the Bad Stuff you're talking about.
But isn't this the opposite of À la carte? You have 2-3 massive "cartes" with content and all you can do is eat everyting on one menu. Or switch between them. If you like showA and a family member likes showB it's now not a fight over the remote, it's a fight over which month to subscribe to which service.

Also since HBO/Netflix et.al don't carry regular live TV, most of us still keep their regular TV subscriptions for news/sports etc., making it not a replacement for TV but an expensive luxury extra.
> how much does knowing Great-great Aunt Ethyll’s thoughts on Karl Marx actually affect us on a daily basis? How much will your predilection for the song stylings of Kim Kardashian affect future generations in a meaningful way?

I'd expect a lot in both cases. The first is part of ongoing conversations in society. The second, well... An AI historian or at the very least an AI-assisted historian will likely be the one reading it all, and it'll be extremely interested to get the precise pulse of what went on in people's minds in our day and time.

Contrast this with, say, 200 years ago. We have diaries, letters, newspapers, pamphlets, books, etc. But the data is spotty, and won't allow you to comb through what went on in a typical person's mind. Data from Facebook, Google, Amazon, and so forth allows to do just that for better or worse.

The real problem with this, besides the privacy considerations for as long as we and whoever we interacted with live, is the risk that the data is lost in some way or another before historians get to analyze it. 50 years from now we'll either be in a historian's utopia (ubiquitous data) or in a modern day regression into the dark ages (with much less data than before everything became digital).
Apple's long-standing policy of rolling out a new feature then criminalizing whatever subsequently competes with them doesn't need defending. There's maybe even too much defending - broken keyboards, bent iPads, anti-competitive practices, and not enough honesty or ethics in that company.
I generally agree, and it's something I asked myself very often too. It's the kind of problem that makes you wonder: "why don't I hear more people talking about it?". Well, I would expect to hear it more, at least from clever people tackling complicated problems. At the same time, I also noticed that the more complex problems you tackle, the more problems that could use solutions you start to see. So maybe you get into that loop of "there's so many things to do!", that even if you think about complexity from time to time, you are just too busy dealing with that complexity already, or learning/studying/getting into something new, etc.

I don't know, I think it's very interesting, I'd like to read more opinions on this.
Is AirWatch in the non-enterprise market?

What are the differences between the legitimate apps and the others?

Is the difference publicized by Apple somewhere?

Granting access to sensitive data via an app, under stringent but fair conditions, would be a compromise. For example, implementing a controlled device mode, where the "spy" data is on-device only, and spy mode is clearly notified in the status bar, or what-have-you, so the person being monitored knows the rules at all times they are on device.
He can't be.

Headcount vs. FTE: What’s the best resource management model for you?
Do any of these open-source solutions support Apple's Live Photos and videos alongside ordinary photos? I don't really want to have multiple applications for my family memories stuff. Just want to toss them in a directory and let on-photo/video-file metadata tags sort it out. Face auto-tagging and geo- and time-based grouping a must. Otherwise, can (ideally, would, in fact) just serve up dead-simple ugly HTML, if it's gonna be a web-tech thing, to minimize the developer workload if I have to take it over because the project dies.
Being a parent doesn't mean you own your child. Particularly by the time that they're teenagers. I can justify a great deal of authority over my four year old because she still doesn't quite have the capacity to avoid running into traffic.

Similar thing, I had a nest camera in my daughter's room when she was under 3. Now I've removed it, because she is old enough to have time to herself. I know one parent who demands to have a camera in their kids room and one of those kids is 14. That's beyond awful.
>So Apple's stance here is really that parents should have less control over their children's devices than employers have over those of their employees?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't used any of these apps, but I thought the point here is that it's not the parents running an MDM server. I mean, I personally have long made use of MDM and profiles on iOS devices for myself and family, it's super useful (and necessary for some things like using S/MIME certs in native Mail). But I've done it via actual MDM, myself (you can also do a lot via simple distributed one shot profiles made with the free Apple Configurator software). There is no 3rd party involved.

It sounds like here that it was 3rd party apps/services that were making use of MDM functionality. "On behalf of parents" sure, but there's still a fundamentally different relationship and set of expectations for loading an app via the general App Store vs specifically enrolling a device/loading a profile from an employer someone has contractual agreements with, or someone running an MDM server themselves on their own behalf. There isn't really any way around the fact that MDM offers enormous power over devices, much of which happens without any user interaction or much (if any) exposure via the GUI. That's much of the point of it after all. That power certainly offers avenues for abuse that are different in scope.

I'm sure many of the 3rd parties are trustworthy and hopefully at least trying their best in terms of not themselves being hacked by malicious actors, but I think Apple also has a genuine legitimate concern here. A real goal for iOS is that someone can browse through the App Store and install absolutely anything they see and think looks interesting based purely on descriptions/reviews and face a known, fairly minimal and easy to reason about threat profile. Of course it hasn't always been perfect, but it's been a lot better at this then the general free for all. If some of those apps make use of MDM powers outside of normal MDM usage that breaks those expectations, that's not made up.

FWIW I personally think Apple should be required to allow other stores and permanent device owner created master signing cert loading capability, even if only via offering a more expensive "developer" model of phone with that capability not fused off. But the security and privacy tradeoffs there are worthy of consideration and efforts to find the best balances, and even in those cases I'd still be fine with Apple having their own curated App Store that remained as strict as they wished.
Please be careful to separate the principle from the implementation. What the app developers had done was unquestionably against the developer terms. They would have known it was wrong. And Apple was right to stop them.

These apps were dodgy. They effectively became a new and incredibly convenient vector for an app developer to spy on children. It's disgusting that people defend them.

I also struggle with this. The best advice I've found is a 9 years old blog post by Derek Yu [1]: "Treat finishing things as a skill rather than a step in the process".

We all have different skills, we can be good at programming or at graphic design or at music composition or at communication. Having these skills give you advantage, but you have to remember that at some point you didn't have those skill, those were cultivated. If you treat finishing things as a skill that has to be cultivated, where you suck at first, but with enough practice you get better and better, then you get into a mindset that will allow you to be more and more disciplined. So start small, take smaller projects, as small as possible. Make sure you finish them, slowly increase the difficulty level, you will get there.

Try talking to potential clients before you start building the product. Client confirmation is the best motive by far. The reason we abandon projects is because at some point reality hits us in the face and we realize that the product might flop. If you know beforehand that there is demand for it you have all the reasoning you need to keep going.
Completely agree. I read your comment as: "There exist OPs so far into the stupid space and senior colleagues far enough into the competent space that good advice may not be immediately apparent to OP, even through the lens of a first implementation." That's spot on and the example you cite is a good one.

It's just so hard to advise here without knowing more about OP and the senior colleague. (That should be the title of the novel "OP and the Senior Colleague.")
> "As part of the new law, those with prior convictions could now seek to have them struck off their record."

I really don't get the thought process that leads to this kind of thing. "Let's make it so we have to have to implement a new system that people petition and we review to determine if we expunge their record."

Versus: "The new standard is if the conviction was for X, and the person does not have Y on their record, (etc.), then the record of X conviction is considered expunged. And then behind the scenes automatically make it so."
No what they're saying is that if you want to monitor your child mobile usage, handing over full access of their phone to a 3rd party developer isn't the way to go about it.

> but I don't really see why Apple should get to be the global moral police.

Apple already takes a moral stance on certain things. This isn't a debate. If they don't want to allow something on their App store, they will shut it down, even if it's 100% legal. These are the slipper slopes people have talked about for years. This is not new.

Apple has shown that if it doesn't want to support something, they won't. This means it's perfectly reasonable to hold them to account for things that are supported by their platform. This is why some platforms simply don't do any policing, or very limited.
