I bet grandpa never was a blue collar worker, such a hypocrite.

My AOP Professor once said that today, we build software like medival smiths built swords: The customer would describe how he would want his sword to look and feel like, and the smith crafted each and every one individually. This led to very unique and well fit, but also very expensive products.

He said that we should aim to build software products like the industrialization revolutionalised manufacturing: Assembling many modular parts into something, instead of hand crafting everything. In his opinion, this will lead to faster and cheaper development.

Also ich find kalt geil ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Aber Montag is trotzdem oasch

You could argue that the credit card could be used to prevent opening a new account as soon as the trial expires.

This is bullshit, but that’s what I would say if i needed to defend douchebag business practices.

The difference is: Microsoft never forced, they just nudged users very aggressively. They got into trouble for that multiple times and needed to adjust their practices (but keep trying). For some reason, nothing ever happened to Apple (yet). In my opinion, tech media is way too lenient on this as well.

This is not just bad because of privacy, Safari has been slowing down progress on many web apis for years. Other browser implementations would also probably be faster and/or drain less battery. I could probably come up with even more reasons.

Actually it does, because you have options if a 0-day surfaces. Your logic only works if there happen to be multiple 0-days released at the same time on all major browsers which affect all recent versions for each browser (because on iOS, you can’t even downgrade to a previous version that could be unaffected). That will probably never happen.

Do you do actual arguments or do you just do ad hominem if someone calls you out?

I wonder if there is anything in the world which hasn’t been stock-photoed yet.
