I completely agree he was unprofessional about it and should have handled it better. It was his choice in how he communicated it, and I think he failed on that point. Having said that, it was not his choice to do it, and I’m sure he will undue it when it’s legally possible. Hopefully using better judgement on his choice of words then.
Because he’s not making any political, moral, or personal decisions, and only follows the law he is forced to.
When the law forces him to sanction Israel, he will do so, and when the law stops forcing him to sanction Russia, he will stop doing so.
Usually uprooting your life and moving to another country implies a job change. At least that’s how I read the comment.
We who take Aaron’s side
We are in the right, so we don’t have to obscure facts.
For example I might store blobs of data processed by my database in files that have the Base64 ID of the blob as the filename. If the filesystem was case insensitive, I’d be getting collisions.
Users probably don’t make such files, no. But 99% of files on a computer weren’t created by the user, but are part of some software, where it may matter.
And often software originally written for Linux or macOS and then ported to Windows ends up having problems due to this.
It’s not like getting Ublock Origin from the official website instead of the Chrome Web Store is some kind of a problem.
Ok, well “broken” sounded like, you know, that things don’t work.
They didn’t:
They stopped using the codenames in marketing, but they are still there.
What’s broken about it? I use Kubuntu and everything is working fine.
So don’t install it, use a better app. It’s just some app, not part of the system like iCloud on iOS.
It really depends on which language you want to use.
You could build them along existing tracks (not that it’s a good idea in the first place)
Same with all cryptocurrencies having a “white paper”, as if it was anything other than marketing crap formatted like a scientific paper.
No, it doesn’t say you can treat someone badly if they treat you badly. It doesn’t say anything about how others treat you having any effect on how you treat them.
It says you should treat everyone the way you’d like them to treat you, regardless if they actually do or not.
Agree, you should look at the overall picture, not make a decision based on an individual app (which, in case of Google Photos, isn’t even built in unless you buy a Pixel or something, it’s just some app that happens to be available, for both iOS and Android).
That’s what I’m saying
Same goes for any other app, including Google Photos
Yeah, all gallery apps show the same on-device photos, the difference is where they backup/upload them, which is the part important to privacy.
Apple iCloud having the E2E encryption feature is definitely an advantage over Google Photos. All I’m saying is that neither really have much to do with the OS. Google Photos isn’t even a preinstalled app on most Android phones, just one of many options you could install, same as on iOS.
No, not nice at all. I’m answering your question on why he doesn’t ban Israeli contributors, not deliberating on the niceness of anyone in particular.
