that's an astonishingly idiotic argument, most of what he talks about also counts for your ISP too. They might log everything too and not tell you about it, but at least my ISP never made their whole business case around protecting my privacy.

And also what exactly would be their incentive in building up their infrastructure to facilitate this logging, do you have any idea how much storage space each VPN node in their network would need just to log everything?

And even if they were to log everything you are still sharing a IP with hundreds of other people making you less identifiable to at least the websites you are visiting.

100% FUD

While some streaming services might work with Linux, almost all will not show HD or better quality. Just torrent everything, its so much easier, this DRM clusterfuck just gives you less reason to feel bad about it.

Exactly, as long as it doesn't manifest itself in exactly the same manner as north koreas dictatorship, everything is fine. sticking head back in the sand

> Corporations are not robots. Apple is run by people, and specifically people who are much more knowledgable on this subject than the average consumer. They should feel some level of social responsibility.

Sometimes I wonder how many instances to the contrary people need to get this falsehood out of their heads. Corporations are only beholden to their shareholders, if any one person at Apple (including the CEO) is not at all times acting solely to maximize the profit to their shareholders they will be replaced by someone who will. The government has to force corporations to their will through tight regulations, consumer protection and anti-trust legislation. Why are all corporations spending this incredible amount on political corruption/"lobbying", its because all these things work.

It has not really anything to do with human nature, its the power structures in the west that have vested interests to shape the mainstream narrative. Some atrocities are getting coverage, its not at all arbitrary which ones. Its more a sign of how incredibly effective they've become in pacifying the entire population in the west through media and politics, institutional corruption, sham elections, etc. Western democracy is beyond broken, will never get fixed and things will only get worse. But I agree with the majority of people who can still form coherent thoughts in their minds, much easier to just stick the head in the sand and deny that what I'm stating is demonstrably true.

In principle code signing is a good idea, this way Apple can ensure an improved security standard over their competition.

But the downside is of course that Apple is in control, and like any corporation it will do things with that power that are unethical, immoral, anti-competitive, anti-consumer, etc. to the fullest possible imaginable degree.

Its like when you buy a DRM protected piece of content and that company revokes access in the future. Its entirely predictable and preventable.

Customers buy DRM content all the time and they buy Apple products instead of phones that give you freedom. Ignorance is not an excuse, I won't blame Apple, they aren't people, they just do what is natural in all corporations, I blame people/consumers, they deserve every single last bit of totalitarianism that is coming their way.

not a bad joke at all actually, but HN is just too far all up their own asses

I'm curious, I'm maintaining a similarly sized React app. What are the benefits of Vue (2) over React?

I would argue its always better if people form their own opinions, so I just suggested that people should look it up themselves and come to their own conclusions.

this whole story probably just boils down to people not understanding the difference between github and git.

the obvious reasons would be, to be reachable in case of emergency and as an alarm clock.

I fail to comprehend why this being done across the EU is supposed to make any difference? Its not like there were competing news outlets across the EU due to the language barriers. What after the EU implemented it and it still isn't magically working how you deluding yourself into? We just have to make it international then? No its exactly as foolish as everyone with half a brain has been saying and warning everyone for years and its only hurting smaller EU internet companies (if there are still any at all left under the many disastrous EU decisions).
