> React (ie virtual dom) is a beauty in this regard and if you don’t use it, you would have a hard time creating any gui with a certain level of difficulty
Anyone who didn’t grow up building stuff prior to 2010 would have difficulty.
we don’t need react in 2024. And it’s only making things worse now. Not better.
Yup I have been using it for over a decade, and had nothing but pleasant interactions with the maintainer. I am heartily sick of this culture of entitled people that think it is OK to free load on someone else's hard work and then take a public dump on them, that too while hiding behind an alias! And then there are people like you that enable such behavior instead of calling it out.
Mensching, the maintainer here, has been maintaining this free and open source software for twenty years!! A gift to the world. The least he is owed is a little goddamn respect.
When you try to contribute to a project and the maintainer just says something isn’t a bug and won’t tell you why and blows you off. They are hostile. So while he’s built an awesome tool. He’s obviously a difficult person.
Says you. Hiding behind an alias at that. If you want to attack a real person in public, at least have the courage to use your real name to do it. And add a link to where he "brushed you off" without reasons so the rest of us can see for ourselves. Failing that, I am going with you wanted the project to do something, the maintainer didn't agree. That's his perogative doesn't make him hostile. He is not obligated to entertain your use cases. When you contribute to someone else's project you do so in the understanding that they get to decide whether to accept your contributions or not.
Why because your belovered maintainer is hostile and you can cope?
There are tons of maintainers out there who have poor communication skills who don’t care if you submit a pull request fixing a bug, or raise an issue detailing a bug. They will shrug you off and make you feel like OSS is a waste of time.
Get over yourself and stop getting on your knees to suck him off like he’s some god.
> Apple's total control of all aspects of the iPhone platform is harmful to consumers in a way that is not at all obvious, especially not to the less technologically literate.
Android has its issues, but if you want to use a different app store on an Android phone, you're free to do so. You can also side-load apps over a USB cable. One is not like the other.
Nope, I read The Register (UK based) and they've had scandals from celebrities having their confidential SMS messages leaked; SMS spoofing; I think they even have SIM cloning going on every now and then in UK and some European countries. (since The Register is a tech site, my recollection is some carriers took technical measures to prevent these issues while quite a few didn't.)
I don't think it's a thing that happens that often in UK etc.; but, it doesn't happen that frequently in the US either. It's just a thing that can potentially happen.
Its also been a problem in Australia, Optus (2nd biggest teleco) used to allow number porting or activating sim against an existing account with a bare minimum of detail - Like a name, address and date of birth. If you had those details of a target you could clone their SIM and crack any SMS based MFA.
I don’t know about other parts, but here in France SMS is a shitshow. I regularly fail to receive them even though I know I have good reception.
This happened the other day while I was on a conference call with perfect audio and video using my phone’s mobile data.
A few weeks back, had some shop which sends out an SMS to inform you the job’s done tell me this is usually hit and miss when I complained about not hearing from them.
Many single radio phones can either receive sms/calls, or transmit data.
My relative owns such a device and cannot use internet during calls or receive/make calls during streaming like YT video playback.
In my case this is an iPhone 14 pro. I'm pretty sure I can receive calls while using data, since I often look things up on the internet while talking to my parents.
And, by the way, the SMS in question never arrived. I don't know if there's some kind of timeout happening, and the network gives up after a while. Some 15 years ago I remember getting texts after an hour or two if I only had spotty reception. This may of course have changed in the meantime, plus this is a different provider.
SMS is not E2E encrypted, so for all intents is just a plain text message that can/has been snooped. Might as well just send a plaintext emails as well.
I recently had an issue with a sim card and went to phone store that gave me a new one and disabled the old. They're supposed to ask for ID, but often doesn't bother. This is true for pretty much every country. Phone 2FA is simply completely insecure.
I switched to Capture One years ago, but recently switched back to Lightroom. It’s much much faster now and they also recently launched advanced color editing, AI masks, and true HDR support which pushed me over the edge.
