I completely agree he was unprofessional about it and should have handled it better. It was his choice in how he communicated it, and I think he failed on that point. Having said that, it was not his choice to do it, and I’m sure he will undue it when it’s legally possible. Hopefully using better judgement on his choice of words then.
Because he’s not making any political, moral, or personal decisions, and only follows the law he is forced to.
When the law forces him to sanction Israel, he will do so, and when the law stops forcing him to sanction Russia, he will stop doing so.
Usually uprooting your life and moving to another country implies a job change. At least that’s how I read the comment.
Since it’s end to end encrypted, Ente just sees some raw bytes, it has no way to tell if what you uploaded is an image or not. So in practice it supports whatever the client can display, so your browser for the web version.
For example I might store blobs of data processed by my database in files that have the Base64 ID of the blob as the filename. If the filesystem was case insensitive, I’d be getting collisions.
Users probably don’t make such files, no. But 99% of files on a computer weren’t created by the user, but are part of some software, where it may matter.
And often software originally written for Linux or macOS and then ported to Windows ends up having problems due to this.
They did.
But yeah, the codenames are almost never mentioned.
It couldn’t download while an app is installing. So while an already downloaded app was installing, you had nothing downloading until it finishes installing.
It’s not like getting Ublock Origin from the official website instead of the Chrome Web Store is some kind of a problem.
Ok, well “broken” sounded like, you know, that things don’t work.
They didn’t:
They stopped using the codenames in marketing, but they are still there.
What’s broken about it? I use Kubuntu and everything is working fine.
It’s technically correct, the same way Wikipedia is encrypted, because you access it over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Doesn’t make it any less public.
Telegram is also encrypted, but not end to end encrypted (in most cases), and of course Telegram can see your messages, and public group chats are public. But yes, it is all encrypted. Just not in a way useful to this conversation.
Yeah, sounds about right. This isn’t a case of “Google maliciously takes down a Google Maps competitor” like people are saying.
Strategy? You are assuming there was any intent behind it. The reviewers in third world countries are probably spending 30 seconds per app and are bound to make mistakes. Which in this case was reverted.
It really depends on which language you want to use.
Well, without making money on the philanthropy videos he wouldn’t have money to continue making philanthropy videos. He may be doing it as a 100% selfish thing, but so what? The end result is that lots of lives are improved. I won’t watch his videos, but I’m glad people are being helped.
I don’t disagree, but it feels like every other cereal, pack of crisps and bar of chocolate I see in stores advertises you can win a car or something. Which is stupid, but it’s weird to call out some guy for doing something very common across many other products.
I was buying crisps to win plastic Pokémon and ice cream to win money 25 years ago. Sure, call out the practice, but you are making it sound like it’s not an ubiquitous type of promotion.
There is no popup whatsoever during navigation. The alleged popup screen is actually what appears when you yourself click a pin (whether normal or sponsored). Nothing ever pops up by itself.
The article was corrected, maybe you read it before that happened.
The meaning is that the card appears when you tap a pin. “Pop up” sounds like something that appears by itself, which is not the case here. It does “pop up” when you want it to, but you’d agree that’s not what people would think if you described it as a “pop up”.
No, not nice at all. I’m answering your question on why he doesn’t ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.
