Unfortunately a large part of marketing is people believing that others do not wish to be informed about such things. They just want to see "number move in good direction." The stats unfortunately prove that. Most marketing material now is basically lying through omission.
Eh, that may just promote a lot of "What are your opinions about x" posts where the first comment is the ad. Suppose it's an open call to list alternatives though.
There's still valid concern about this being a foot in the door tactic. Once an OS complies with this request what will the next one be? Why should this even be allowed?
Either way though, the reddit citation is a bit unnerving.
Ironically, my first instinct to opening that page and seeing it's unusual layout and density on mobile was to switch to the reader view. Immediately getting hit with the cyphertext output. Cool, I guess.
There was a rather famous piece of software at my last job. Guy writing it wanted job security. A lot of the core variables of the application were named based on the sounds a helicopter made. God damn onomatopoeia variables. Pretty sure that shit is still in use somewhere.
Well, I wouldn't go that far. Let's not forget Nextcloud started as a fork for the same reason. The permissive license doesn't stop us from keeping it alive, but it is something to be cautious of.
I'm curious about opencloud. It's flashy, uses go, and has everything that I'm actively using in Nextcloud. The license does make me a little cautious about it though. Apache v2 on the server side is unusually permissive. AGPLv3 on the web ui is cool, but it's also not really helpful if you're not required to publish server changes.
And what do you think that polling rate was to fill up a 512 GB SD card? It's all speculation but this isn't a super collider, we shouldn't need sub second polling of a vehicle that can only move 5.6 km/h.
Thought this was supposed to be the other way around since the Japanese have Hachishaku-sama.
