In my experience, exFAT support in Linux is worse than NTFS support (and NTFS is more likely to be installed out-of-the-box). If you also need to support macOS, then exFAT might be an option, but exFAT lacks journalling and doesn’t scale too well due to cluster size/count limits.
Piracy was the funniest part. Originally Apple claimed they needed to control the platform and sign binaries to prevent piracy. Then, someone realized that if the pirated app didn't need to be modified, then the pirates could reuse the original signature. There was still the issue of getting the ipa onto the device, but that wasn't too hard back in the Cydia days.

Simply, when you eat 3 meals a day, your body and mind is way less performant than what it could be in a good portion the day. So having all daytime fully productive helps. I personally don’t feel any desire to eat or drink after 1st day.
Engineering disagrees. Having safety interlocks on machines is seen as necessary and sensible to prevent accidental harm.

If you want to achieve something that you think sideloading is the only answer for then maybe try and find another solution? Btw. I’m not arguing we shouldn’t educate people about the dangers of phishing etc etc. just that engineers should find better solutions than shortcuts.

Some people will never understand the need to be vigilant. And even vigilant people have momentary lapses of vigilance.

[edit] i think we’re talking about deliberate sideloading but also accidental sideloading in the same breath here. One enables the other? Accidental sideloading is very much undesirable.

You completely ignored everything I wrote and merely responded with an assertion, ignoring all evidence. What a terrible way to have a discussion. Would you kindly not ignore the facts?

Oh and here is what it ACTUALLY says on the Typescript page (https://www.typescriptlang.org/):

None of that contradicts anything I wrote.
In a good way.
Usually the cases show up on social media in our country. The victims post that they’ve been frauded and generally blame it on the banks.

The banks then reply and say “the fraud transaction originated from customer’s device”. When you look at the screenshots of victims giving example it’s all Android as far as I can see.

Generally after talking to the banks and customers discover that it was their own fault for clicking on a seemingly harmless link they shut up and go quiet.

This is a story that plays out often here.

I don’t particularly have a link because these cases get deleted from social media (by the customer themselves) after the bank has proven that it’s the customers fault.

Edit: You can try searching the internet for “mobile banking fraud Thailand” you’ll find these links, here is one example.

I absolutely disagree with your conclusion. It's like forbidding people from working on their own cars because some people are stupid and kill themselves through their work(and that kind of thing is neither rare nor unusual).

And it's not like people with iOS are resistant to being scammed - there are hundreds of ways criminals can dupe you to sending them money, the invoice scam being the simplest example and it doesn't require any special apps.
> After how long? A half-life of a decade, as I understand it? Not exactly the order of magnitude of luxury time we have to spare

Doesn't matter, if we keep the number of heads of cattle constant, the methane from them in the atmosphere will be constant.

If we keep using the same number of ICE cars otoh, the CO2 from them in the atmosphere will keep increasing. We would have to drop the number of ICE cars to 0 to stop the increase.
That isn't true. The carrying capacity of the earth would shrink but there would be enough food for at least a billion people.
Agreed. There was a study that almost 100% of virus in computers is because of people installing programs in computers. Imo, all laptops must have an AppStore controlled by the laptop manufacturer. It should all become totally locked down. I am sure eu already regrets computers being so open.
Your numbers are not true. Or, are true only if you demand some very high level of knowledge.

I sux at learning foreign languages and did learned enough to converse and communicate everything needed with less then 480hours of learning. That was years ago, before Neflix and internet were available. And the other kids in the same school learned more then I did.

Moreover, English is quite close to Spanish, so any English speaker should learn much much faster. Many words are for free.

It definitely was not and I would not even consider it ideal.

Right, which is why operating systems ship with security and sandboxing features. Security does not require an App Store.

GraphQL does not prevent you or the GraphQL→DB translation layer from doing stupid things. Depending on the capabilities exposed by the GraphQL schema and the implementation of the translation layer, you can write a GraphQL query that is translated to 20 JOINs or N+1 hell or other bad things.
Not GP, and fully agree that having the option for side-loading would be a largely positive thing for users and the software community.

But one counterargument goes like this:

When you relax the rules, larger players will be able to leverage them against individual users.

For example, Meta would be able to release MetaStore, the app with exclusive distribution rights to Meta apps. Now you need a facebook account to install whatsapp.

Not sure its sustainable, however.

I'm surprised that there are many cases as to enable sideboarding on Android you basically have to go to settings and enable option that basically tell you that this isn't a good idea if you don't know what you are doing and then you have to do the same for the application that triggers the install.

but on the other hand I already saw people trying Linux and being surprised that after multiple confirmations "this is probably a terrible idea, are you sure" it broke their systems
The stories were something I really liked and they were a great break from the monotony of the usual lessons and a nice diversion. With the latest updates, you don’t get a single story (at least in Japanese) until you’re like at level 37. That’s a gigantic amount of effort to get to. It’s not like before where you had many stories relatively early on.
Why did you move them to only include a subset of devices?
but surely it would have been easier to add "call contact" to Hangout/Meetings than create a separate app for the specific feature? It's not like you have separate contact lists, and I mean, that is how it works now[0].

So, no I don't think this is a lazy criticism, the fact that a new app was created instead of adding a feature to something that already existed is a managerial mistake because it creates extra confusion for users weakening the existing products[1].

So just from my perspective in the gaming world:

- Public matchmaking (aka centralization) sucks. Toxic users are loud and common, and the community has no tools to deal with them, which puts everyone at the mercy of the dev's minimal efforts. You don't feel like part of a community because you just get a randomized slice of the population shouting at you.

- Client hosting (pure decentralization) is like a ghost town and has performance issues. Actual distributed compute is rare... and a crypto pyramid scheme everywhere I have checked.

- High capacity dedicated hosting (aka federated hosting) is... nice. You get admins and mods who actually care about moderating their community and are small enough to handle it. When drama happens, server hop.

Hence to me, Mastadon is way more appealing than the p2p solutions.
The takeaway seems to be "you must pay for every query and for every bit and byte we hold and transact for you", here's a list of companies you probably never heard of before (Upstash, Momento, Stellate, Xata), some with unsearchable names (Convex, Temporal, Trigger), pay them to have your database locked arbitrarily or whenever they somehow reach unicorn status and will be too big to reply to your emails.

Accessing the website of any of the listed companies, the Pricing page in the header is predictably there: everyone is looking for a rent. Just to be a contrarian, because I just can't believe all these companies are making significant money, perhaps it's time for a return to the pay-for-binary model in such an Everything as a (payable) Service world: here's the blob for a nice database (or whatever), pay $1,000 (or maybe even $10,000, $100,000) and the current version is yours forever.
Saturn's equatorial radius is 60,268km, and its polar radius is 54,364km -- nearly 10% smaller.

The equatorial radius would have been smaller without the rapid rotation, and the polar radius larger, so at least we have lower and upper limits as to the size of a non-rotating Saturn.

Getting a more accurate estimate would require calculating the effect of gravity vs. centrifugal force on the density of the various gaseous layers. As long as you limit the calculation to the current state of Saturn (as if it had just stopped) and not try to extrapolate over its entire age of 4.6B years, the result is unlikely to be more than a couple of percentage points different from the current average radius.

It’s not as hard as what people think.

You just tell your friends that you are not reachable on Facebook anymore and how you can be reached.

You don’t have to "convince" anyone.

Your real fear is that people will stop reaching you if they don’t want to install another app, send you an SMS, send you an email or to call you on the phone.

Well, if your friends stops reaching you because you uninstalled an app, honestly it looks that they are more acquaintances than real friends. And it’s ok. But it’s also ok if they are just an entry in your contacts list.

We are talking about different things. I was talking about my own reasons for not wanting snap on my desktop. You are talking about the need for better security on operating systems in general.

Security is never an absolute, it's always a trade off between many different factors, such as usability, protection, and cost. You have to take a risk based approach. People who work in security have to do this on a daily basis.

For myself, the sand-boxing trade off is not worth it on my own desktop. Everything I have tried has significantly interfered with being able to do what I need to. If we were talking about what was needed on a critical, internet-exposed system, my answer might be different.

On the subject of what a good secure OS would look like, I studied capabilities extensively when I did my MSc in Info Sec. The E language and the EROS operating system were absolutely fascinating. Getting rid of ambient authority would be awesome. I have worked with people who worked on CHERI, which is also a really promising approach to use capabilities for better memory protection - and has the advantage that it can work with code not written for it.

When something like that is available, I'll be one of the first people trying it out!

It won’t, because the smart voting app was not blocked in eu. The markets where these kinda app would be needed are also the ones where sideloading will likely not arrive.
I disagree. While this dichotomy might hold true in other examples, in the case of iPhones it was always possible to push custom software to your own device for development purposes. There is a somewhat arbitrary limitation that those apps only work for a week until the process needs to be repeated (unless you enroll in Apple's Developer Program), but that's a different topic.

The main demand in these "sideloading" discussions is therefore that Apple ought to make installing unlisted Apps easier. Personally, I don't understand why this should be of Apple's concern though. They already present a choice to app developers: Either go through their walled garden or impose a technical process on your (non-technical) end-users. Interestingly, there are already projects like AltStore that try to make the latter easier, which should be taken as proof that the whole "sideloading is impossible" argument is not really truthful.

Why this rose up to the highest ranks of the political system is beyond me.

PS: The existence of Jailbreaks further undermines the argument that you cannot control the software on your device.
Genuinely, they are not and I tried. Or, they were too expensive for me to try.

Never? So, no laws against speeding, no restrictions of the use of DDT, etc?

I think that, to make electronic devices usable for all, we have to restrict what they can do.

> Instead, we should strive to educate people on proper online safety measures

I would say “in addition”, not “instead”. I think it’s a pipe dream we can educate the majority of the population and keep them educated in these things.

Even if we restrict that to the tech savvy, they too grow old, can have periods in their live where they’re so stressed that it limits their thinking, can get mild dementia, etc.
Help you keep in touch with friends? You may even have some of those yourself. The 1-to-many nature of the medium may be more efficient, and allowing for pictures (which are worth a thousand words) is also helpful.

I was going to say it feels like apple "alligned" account. Oh no look at all the fraud happening on android, we have to keep iOS fully locked to prevent people from their own stupidity (and protect our own interests, but please don't talk about that).
Starting Duolingo about a year prior to moving to a German speaking country me helped a lot. I can have some very basic conversations at the store and understand ~half the words I read. I think I've managed to not fall in the gamification pitfall by taking the "Learning how to learn" class, which was a good learning catalyst.

I'm starting classes now, and after speaking basic German with the teacher during the intro, she was surprised to learn I only used Duolingo. She said most people didn't progress much with Duolingo.
