It is not reasonable to expect browser vendors to backport all security fixes to all releases so that users on old releases get essential security fixes.

Why? We built software and supported old releases for decades just fine until the current toxic culture of pushing out frequent, often poorly-tested changes over the Internet came along.

Jacques has this one right. There are different reasons for updates, and conflating them is a problem.

It would be in everyone's best interests if we rapidly patched security vulnerabilities. It might be in a user's best interests to receive a fix for a bug that was preventing the software from functioning properly, if the user wants that functionality. It might be in a user's best interests to receive an update that adds support for some new hardware or online service or data format, if the user is interested in compatibility with those things.

None of the cases above implies any loss of existing functionality or change in existing UI, though. Updates can do those things as well, but we should clearly distinguish those from updates for reasons like security, robustness or compatibility, and it is not obvious that the same update procedures will be appropriate for all of these cases.

This is the industry that invented the popup/pop-under, until browsers were forced to adopt technological solutions to prevent them. And third-party toolbars - good lord. The over-reach of tracking is just the same thing all over again.

Don't know if you're serious or trying to be funny, but I'll bite:

Around here, or in the Maker Community, "passive income" is referring to something that you put in a lot of effort into in such a way that when left alone, it keeps producing value for other people without your continuous supervision.

Examples would include writing a (e)Book; creating "side dish" type products, like eCommerce plugins or themes, creating a video course, or even having an entire SaaS, and then hiring people who then slowly replace you.

Interestingly, begging for money on a street corner would not fall under this definition, since it wouldn't work without you being physically there, generating the income.

Did that clear things up?

" providing developers with an alternative business model isn't a bad thing."

There isn't really an alternative here. People won't pay for apps.

Also - ads not 'evil' - or rather, it's what people generally chose over paying 50 cents a month, and it's absolutely a choice on our (ie consumer) part.

The problem ironically has to do with relevance. People don't mind relevant ads, but in order to have relevant ads, networks need a lot of personal information. Ugly paradox.

And yes, spammy web pages/apps full of terrible, spammy ads - this is really of no benefit to anyone.

It would be nice if they worked towards fixing that.
People, who still insist on developing programs for Apple out of greed are in collusion with Apple to strengthen their monopoly and should serve proportional share of Apple's sentence if it's ever to be judged for its anticompetitive business. They can't possibly be ignorant about it today.
Well, I'm drifting way into the sea of armchair psychology here, but a part of "I don't have resources to care" also translates often to "I don't want to see anything related to this."

>You think advertising is 'evil'?

Maybe they do, but using the idiom “necessary evil” doesn’t make it certain that they do. Probably nearly nothing colloquially described as a “necessary evil” is actually “evil”. It can be only a pain or an annoyance, but required.

>[…] the use of the term "evil" in the phrase does not necessarily indicate that the thing being characterized as a "necessary evil" is something that is generally considered an "evil" in the sense of being immoral or the enemy of the good.

Well sorry not sorry, but as someone born in Ghana I'm more a little tired of the sentiment on display in the cited part of comment I'm reacting to, which is the implication that Africa as an entire continent is inherently and forever will be a place too poor to have proper infrastructure.

The closest thing I have right now are the first two tutorials in the docs: https://pippi.world/docs/tutorials/

These are meant to build toward a final example mixing aspects of all the tutorials into a more realistic project.

Having used pippi for my own music for about 9 years now I try to only move structures and patterns into pippi itself when I find myself writing the same things over and over in scores. In general each score tends to be structured very differently, depending on what it does. Hopefully I can communicate that in the tutorials by showing a variety of approaches, but it’s a work in progress!

Correct, GPL doesn't have this character.

You say it "fixes" GPL, but as I described it makes AGPL completely unusable for basically any purpose, and it creates a HUGE risk that's in my opinion completely unacceptable, as described.

The only way it seems to work is:
1) it's extremely unpopular by number of projects
2) most private citizens who use it violate the license
3) most potential corporate users have it vetoed by their legal department, which means they plain don't use it

That's not a great situation. It only seems to work (in the rare cases that it's used) because so few people accept it, and the ones that do violate it.

AGPL removes freedom zero, in my opinion.

> The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

I think my examples illustrate this, but I'm sure I could elaborate more.

The way I read it you cannot write an automation script for managing the MongoDB databases for your Etsy store without opensourcing those scripts.

In fact I disagree that "cloud didn't exist when GPL was created". This also applies to services like banks, and banks certainly existed before GPL, and provided a service.

So that was never a "hole" in GPL.

AGPL is poison because every time you touch it, even operationally, your work belongs to someone else. To call that "Freedom" is Orwellian.
It’s pretty stupid to use a work account for personal stuff, I even have two brokerage accounts because of this attitude.

There isn't anywhere in Europe that's "rural" by the standards of North America.

The North Slope Borough in Alaska is nearly the size of Romania, but has only about 9,000 people living there. The state as a whole is larger than all of Western Europe, but has only about 700,000 people.

Much of Canada is the same, only more so.
microATX motherboards are dying out - with the ability to omit drive bays entirely and just mount SSDs to the back of a motherboard tray, full ATX cases can get reasonably small now, so there's less demand.

It turns out PCI express slots are either something people want 3+ of (like a streamer setup of gpu, capture card, high end network card) or 1 of (GPU only) or none (business PC, devs happy with Intel or APU graphics). So really the only tradeoff the largest chunk of the market is making picking miniITX is that I haven't seen any with 4 RAM slots and a m.2 drive (though both features are available seperately on many motherboards). And even then the standard gamer setup is 2x8, while the amount of professionals for whom 64gb (2x32) is too little but 128gb is enough is currently a small market also.

Case manufacturers are not so quick to abandon the size though, with the result that if you get a case that you like for size/features/airflow and it happens to be a microATX case, most of your motherboard options are going to be miniITX.
> Do you not believe there is a significant ongoing cost relating to the Apple store? Bandwidth, storage, CDN, power and HVAC for equipment, other building / data centre costs, IT staff for maintaining the servers and services, developers to develop the store and maintain Apple's side of the arms race between malicious devs trying to fool Apple's automated checking and Apple trying to detect and prevent malicious apps being uploaded, other miscellaneous overheads (accounting, auditors, etc.)... why should they be prevented from collecting taxes to cover the costs?

Even Amazon’s S3, which is arguably one of the more expensive places to store data (and which covers all of Amazon’s overhead plus a healthy profit) is $0.023 per GB. Even the cheapest paid app/IAP is $.99, which gives Apple $.33, and is likely 100-200MB. In the 8GB case, that’s still $0.184 and there are a lot of potential IAPs to “make up costs” and use 0 bandwidth.

When you run the actual math, it’s very hard to argue for “massive ongoing costs” and “significant burden”, especially when Epic has said that they would host and distribute the files entirely themselves if given the ability.

This is a logic flaw I see everywhere. Making a proposition for what might have been there is not a useful scientific instrument.

At least there's somewhere reasonable to host your code but the thing that made me switch from hg to git was the ecosystem surrounding it. For example - on TeamCity you can just upload your SSH private key to the UI, for Mercurial you've got to configure something directly on each build agent.

Much as I loved it, I was keenly aware that I was a second class citizen without access to the integration or the mindshare. Also, git really isn't all that bad but I do miss Mercurial, I think it deserved to win.
But Mozilla doesn't want to maintain security patches for X different products. And that's true of most vendors. This model of computing where all users are always on the latest version makes security patching and bug fixing a lot more straight forward.

This is much less of a problem if you only release new versions at a slower pace, as we used to. There is no good reason that something like a web browser needs to do major updates every month or two. For most users, having a major release annually with just point releases for security fixes in the meantime would be more than sufficient.

I've worked on plenty of professional software that would release a new major version perhaps every 1-2 years and seemed to have no difficulty with backporting security patches and sometimes other important bug fixes for several versions. It's not rocket science. It just doesn't fit nicely into the modern dev culture of pushing everything forwards as fast as possible with little regard for stability or backward compatibility and with the ratchet effects from data format changes and deploying updates to the software seen as positive things.
I think one of Apple's biggest mistakes was in not setting the precedent of taking a cut of app's advertising revenue. It creates an artificial subsidy for privacy-invading ads and is responsible for app bloat and App Store spam that degrades the user experience.

I also think 30% is too high across the board, but my point is simply that an incentive to employ inherently anti-privacy ad SDKs is unfortunate.

I believe in this case, social parasitism refers to rent seeking, essentially. So, some of your examples are indeed examples of it. For example, if you're not contributing to a SaaS anymore, you are just collecting rent from it, which, at least after a while, it is a form of social parasitism. Of course, selling a book and living off of mew sales is not.
