I'm just glad that this judgement travelled back in time!
It must have, otherwise Samsung phone's wouldn't have the Galaxy Store on them.
And Huawei phones wouldn't have AppGallery on it.
And things like aptoide, f-droid and taptap wouldn't exist.
This is about Epic wanting their store to be available on the google store, and none of these articles understand that at all.
Sounds like you’re stuck in a worst practices mindset.
Worst/Pragmatic.
If I get a timeline for a feature request, then everything can be scheduled, tested, whitelisted, delivered at a reasonable time.
That's the rarer event - normally it's more like "the scale head has died and a technician is on the way to replace it" and whilst I modify the program in question to handle this new input, hundreds of staff are standing around and delivery quotas won't be met.
Is my position arrogant? This is the job.
Sign your damn releases and have the whitelisting done by cert.
I'll see if this is possible at the site in question, thank you.
It IS bespoke internal development, not for deployment outside of the facility.
The computers running the software exist only to run this software and have no business talking to the internet at all.
IT is provided by an external third party vendor who operate on an inflexible "best practices dogma".
In a rapidly churning startup phase, where new releases can and do come out constantly to meet production requirements, this one size fits all mentality is impractical.
If you refuse to whitelist the deployment directory, you will be taking 2am calls to whitelist the emergency releases.
No it can't wait until Monday at 9am, no there will not be a staged roll out and multiple rounds of testing.
I am more than willing to have a chat; you, me and the CEO.
I have a friend group that insist on all events being planned through facebook.
I've missed out on events in the past due to not taking part.
It's no longer a hill I wish to die on.
I agree and use Signal myself.
But people like the extra features of WhatsApp like desktop/web clients with seamless history sync and all the other little things that WhatsApp provides.
The average Joe doesn't even think about security or privacy, they just know that the results of using WhatsApp are superior than using SMS.
iMessage is a non starter everywhere out of the US, it just doesn't have the market penetration.
As an Australian, no one I know (many of whom own iPhones) talk about the blue-green bubble stuff.
They recognise where the fault lies and simply don't use the app.
In certain places like India, WhatsApp is the default means of communication for everyone.
You can use it without phone data if you are on wifi, it supports better quality than sms for sending images, you can video chat with it, it's cross platform, etc etc.
What's more amazing to me is that it's not more popular in western countries.
Nah, that was worth watching.
Sounds like this is something developers bake into their apps, not something the phone enforces.
ie, if I develop an app, I can have the app check a special google "Integrity" API and if I get no response (or a negative response), just have the app close.
Just one example of the lies and misinformation out there:
Smart people I know believe that we have to go Nuclear because it's the only green way to achieve baseload.
When press on what baseload is, they seem to think it's the minimum amount of power needed to keep the grid up.
Which for anyone listening in, is backwards, baseload is actually the minimum amount of load required because it's un-economical to spin old coal burners down. That's why people used to heat their water at night on the cheap, because the power HAD to go somewhere.
And these are smart people, just disinterested in the how and why of electricity generation.
They flick a switch, the lights come on.
Every 3 months they pay a bill and tut-tut about how expensive it is now "because of the green obsession".
Have you told the library to rescan after making the change?
