I want to say I agree that Apple was put in a Lose Lose here. Building a backdoor would be detrimental, but removing the obstacle does no better. Now other countries can say "well shoot if we just force them to put a backdoor in they'll just remove the issue entirely". The main issue that the EU had with e2e is that they lacked the capability of accessing the data, Apple removing e2e in the EU moreorless said "yea sure whatever you can access the data, we just don't want you to access the rest of the worlds data"

But whats the next step for when the next country (say the US) also decides they want a piece of that action. "Oh let me remove e2e in the US as a whole as well".

This was an L across the entire board privacy and reputation wise. Apple has set the precedent that they will cave and cater to big brother corporations if it means they can stay in operation in that country. It completely destroyed all the trust that they got from the previous fight vs the US government as a result.

I don't really know what they could have done differently then fight it though.

I just don't go to social interactions, easier

yra, expect it's going to do the same thing in the US too. Not looking forward to it.

Just chiming in, this is not recommended for proxmox

The documentation (FAQ 13) actually directly says that docker should be installed as a QEMU VM on proxmox and that it should not be installed on the Proxmox VE Host

the amount of software I've used that lacks this type of system is aggravating. How hard is it to keep an object of property names, and if the name isn't in it then it errors.

this can be continued into command line as well. if flag -z doesn't exist, you shouldn't allow me to run a command with it. It's clear I am trying to do something (incorrectly) thinking -z is something it isn't, just error it and tell me that.

Because it's universal, it works, it's multi-platform, device agnostic and it's simple to use user side.

Nothing else available really fits that criteria.

The closest in todays age is probally discord or teams, but neither of which are decentralized. XMPP could work for it, but nobody really uses it anymore and to be honest the standard is ugly as hell to implement.

Browser Notifications are ineffective and have a high probability of failing or not being seen, they are more meant for real-time notices not historical notices not to mention locked to that browser.

App notifications would be amazing for things with apps, but not everyone wants to be forced into using their mobile device for everything, and it would again only be available from said app(unless you do use something like NTFY), which would generally be locked down to a device

Email sucks admin side, but there's a reason its used.

This is also ignoring the multi-use case that email allows for such as authentication as well, so if its already being stored for accounts, might as well use it for notifications

hard agree, I hate browser notifications with a hard passion, I would never see them if they swapped to that.

this is likely youtube's way of trying to persuade people into making an account, without going public that they are forcing people to make accounts.

I found it does that if im logged out on a VPN, but standard residential IP's it doesn't with.

I assume eventually it's going to just require a google account to use the service period

Thank you for informing me, as someone who tends to use acronyms quite frequently (usually adding the meaning in parenthesis for the first instance), I've gone ahead and blocked that community. I have zero interest in a news community that is enforcing rules that they are not publicly displaying, especially ones that don't go under "common sense" principles.

I actually just watched a musical last night that was based off this topic. It was called newsies and it was about the new york paper boy strike. Same exact circumstance, the newspaper owners rose the cost of the paper because they knew that the child labor force they were using had to work for them in order to make ends meet.

Well they ended up striking, but the newspaper industries put out a topic ban on anything related to the strike because they knew it would negatively effect them if they ran the topics.
