Just a friendly reminder that the build-in keyboard for iOS is getting an upgrade with the next iOS release. So maybe check that one out when it is released.

Again, not capitalism, the economic system, but political ideologies that cause it.

I don’t agree ‘it has the high ground’. It is given it the high ground. Capitalism is all about high risk that can lead to high reward. If the rules are changed to low risk will always result in high reward for a few individuals, you end up in a system like this.

However, the system only works when the democratic systems are sound, and let’s be frank here, the democratic systems of the USA are nowhere near sound. The fact that, what you rightly addressed in your post, capital has more influence in politics than votes have, is a red flag.

So, don’t blame capitalism if it is your political system that is at fault. Because if you don’t fix that, no other economic system will function accordingly.

I don’t think it is capitalism that is causing that. It is the idea of maximising shareholder value that the American economist Milton Freedman injected into the minds of political and corporate America.

I live in a capitalist country with, in law codified, employee protections including a minimum of paid time off. In addition to that, a strong union that keeps companies in check.

Capitalism works if the rules balance the power of the workers and the capitalist accordingly. But Freedman had other ideas and those are bad for everyone except a few rich guys.

As far as I know, the universal password manager of macOS does not work in Firefox.

Apple is releasing a new feature that firefox could implement to access the keychain (the tech behind macOS password manager) but it would require effort by the developers of Firefox.

This depends on support by the app developer. I’ve seen it work for some apps, but not for all.

The workaround is to copy and paste the password from the list of passwords in safari or system settings.

What data? Because if I look at the data points for Apple Advertising, than it is nowhere near the amount Meta or Google are collecting.

In addition, Apple is very transparent about what they collect, see https://privacy.apple.com to know what they have on file linked to your Apple ID.

But if you have a source that this is not the whole picture, I’m very interested to learn.

Is that statement even remotely true?

A debate about this in the Netherlands ended with a strong advice from the government to ban smartphones and watches in classrooms.

It does have a positive impact, yet I keep thinking about why we teach the way we do. Is the problem not that the ‘classroom’ is outdated and not serving the educational needs of today?

Ik ervaar hetzelfde. En geen van de afbeeldingen die gehost worden door feddit.nl laden. Als ik de homepage opent loopt de console vol met 404 errors.

Oh that would be very nice if you can.

Let’s see if the SaveHollywood screensaver is still working so I can play that video as a screensaver (http://s.sudre.free.fr/Software/SaveHollywood/about.html)

Interesting article, I for sure didn’t noticed it.

I think that the tech behind this is quite interesting and useful, that is not the issue. The issue is, in my opinion, that the party that attests you are trusted is a firm like Apple, Google, or Microsoft. With all the antitrust implications of that.

Now we as a society need to make a decision, do we want to use this tech to make certain parts of the web more safe? And do we want to place that responsibility in the hands of firms, or should we want a government to pick up that responsibility?

Food for thought this is.
