It's also the FTC's responsibility to challenge mergers that would substantially reduce competition.

No one is saying the merger is illegal, just that it probably shouldn't be allowed.


"Illegal" and "shouldn't be allowed" are the same thing when it comes to the government.

If something is legal, the government should allow it.

I am saying that it shouldn't be allowed, because it is not in harmony with the laws, and is therefore illegal.


I'm curious what you mean about vendoring.

In go, vendoring dependencies just copies the deps out of the module system into the local tree and it's managed the same as not vendoring. It won't even build of the go.mod has changed without also updating the vendor tree.


Right - a copy is a cache, and you have to manage that; when to update it, when vulnerabilities are discovered in the deps you have copied, it's up to you to change the version in your cache.

The reality is Apple has been working on rewriting bits and pieces in Swift.

  for the non technical folks:  imagine there was a password that if you guess   it, you can impersonate *any website on the internet*
  
  now imagine the password is literally the number 4

This seems like the easiest way to frame it to non-technical people to me. They know what passwords are.

A cli asking for a password is a pretty normal thing, I think?


As a frequent internal tool writer, I’d say it’s a fact of life but an undesirable one. I’m always trying to avoid pausing for credentials in the middle of a run, either by doing them right at the beginning or by using some sort of durable credentials system like ssh keys.

There’s always two people at every company who refuse to set up auth automation though, so you end up handling it. They are very stubborn. Even when it trips them up in front of observers while executing an urgent task, I’ve only occasionally convinced them to agree to set up trust instead of typing a password every single time.

Which is to say, I have to support password prompts even though they drive me up the wall.


Yes, but a CLI can ask for literally anything. We'll end up adding things there and with a zoo of hard-to-support implementation of that _protocol_.

CLI can also _blank_, do we want to support it as well?


With curl|bash you are literally getting anything that happens to be in that script. These are frequently poorly constructed, so not check hashes or pin dependencies they install. Even security companies (see trivy supply chain attack) get these badly wrong.

I'm not replying here to say one is better than than the other (npm has obviously had its share of problems) but rather to combat claims that curl|bash is somehow safer, it absolutely is not, in fact it's all the bad stuff about npm without the pretense of being potentially safe.


Training AI on the stories we created about AI taking over causing AI to have that idea. Ouroboros.


kdeconnect has an iOS client.


Ah nice, I had no idea. Then if I was somehow forced into using iOS I'd probably try that first.


It doesn't do messages or notifications. "Just" things like file copy and clipboard.


Well if this solution managed to go that then hopefully those missing functionalities could be implemented back to the iOS KDE Connect client.


"Easy" is subjective, but tether seems like it would do this? There is also kdeconnect (don't let the "KDE" fool you).


That's what I thought at first but then discovered:

> universal clipboard is synchronized over internet, it is not done trough cable connection. it uses apple continuity service, what you put into UC is uploaded into apple cloud,..

https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libimobiledevice/issues/...

That's why I'm a bit confused now.

> don't let the "KDE" fool you

Being GNOME2-then-MATE user, it really would.


It's a project by KDE, but it doesn't require you to use the KDE desktop environment. I'm sure it integrates with that but it doesn't require it.
