    How many words will the Apple execs need to explain why YOU can't install any software YOU want on YOUR devices?
    How much software can you install on your car?  None? How about your fridge? None?  Let’s try something else. How about bypassing the App Store on your LG tv?  That’s what I thought.

    And yet, iOS still does not support DNS over TLS or DNS over HTTPS.  Why?

    I believe both were was added in iOS 14.

    “Apple's stance on the subject is well known to be one in favor of keeping user data as untrackable as possible.”

    I’m not sure that’s correct. Their CEO is on record as stating that they simply want to give users the choice to have their data tracked or not. That’s precisely what the new opt-in prompts are designed to do. 

    Apple doesn’t care either way. Just as long as the user has the choice. That’s all. 
    I wouldn’t go that far.  Sure Apple is allowing a choice in this instance (for now) but they still work behind the scenes to make tracking more difficult like preventing advertisers from fingerprinting your device, blocking 3rd party cookies etc.

    Good.  I'm happy to see ANYONE taking a stand against China.  They have gotten away with way too much for far too long.
    Stand up and be happy: Throw away from your China made iPhone and Mac and MacPro and Beats and bla bla bla...
    China didn't make them, they just assembled them.

  • Apple's Claris says coronavirus is driving people to FileMaker

    For an example of fast-turnaround app creation using its software, Freitag says the company worked with a European hospital to make COVID-19 patient software in a single day. "They had a decision tree map drawn on paper for triage of Covid patients," he says. "[They would walk] into some central room in ICU and [go] through a decision tree to determine next steps."
    That is true and what makes that true is Filemaker's flexibility which allows you to implement most of the program logic in the structure (schema).

    Or one can write a shitload of Filemaker scripts to get the same result, as many newcomers do to prove how good coders they are.

    Although a true relational database, It represents a significantly different paradigm than SQL based RDBMS. Once you catch the correct way of thinking, there is nothing that prevents you from writing half of the AppStore.
    FileMaker was fast in the 80's and 90's - not today.  You can develop faster in almost any other technology.  You can only have 1 FileMaker developer working on your solution at a time - with Ruby or PHP, you can host the code on Github and have multiple people working on it at the same time.  FileMaker is outclassed in almost every way.
