It's not that simple. I don't like Facebook & I don't like Facebook. Still Facebook collects data about me. Tell me why shouldn't Facebook be stopped? Here data is new oil. Facebook is mining for that Oil on my land. You wouldn't allow oil company to mine oil on your land right.
I've been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama's first term in 2008 more wasn't accomplished. Shouldn't that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside...
There’s an enormous and largely invisible campaign to use fraudulent notices under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act to remove critical articles from the internet. We don’t know who is running the campaign, but we do know it’s facilitated by Google’s amazingly trustworthy approach to DMCA complaints made by...
Google asks for tax records, passport, id card for there developer account & adword. They can certainly ask for more info to verify the sender before sending the DMCA
You don't get the main point of gun control. Gun control means vetting out bad people from getting the guns. Like driver's license, if you don't know how drive or regularly violated traffic regulations your license is revoked. Similarly if you have gun license, good people with proper training can get the gun. But people who don't follow laws will be banned from getting guns.
If I create a OSS app with analytics to detect & log crashes with feature use, is it a bad practice? I think analytics is really helpful in finding:-...
Or offer two variants of the app, one normal and one without. Or let people like F-Droid offer the latter.
I like the idea of providing two variant one normal & another without any analytics whatsoever on F-Droid. Users can create a issue/support ticket on GitHub providing logs themselves. Their app will not even ping back whatsoever.
I will create app with analytics with a compile switch so analytics part is not even compiled and completely stripped from the build
Crash reports really helps developers. A app can crash for various reason sometimes it's the device itself(not the concern of developers) but mostly some type of bug. We use analytics to prioritise which bug to solve.
For Example:-
There are 2 bugs one in share feature another in export. If lots of people use share feature, then we priorities share feature bug
Respectfully, I have to correct you. This argument is not correct way to think about privacy.
For Example :-
You don't care what I think about you but if I ask where do you live, what is your bank ac, what messages and email you send and to whom, etc. You will not provide me those details even though you don't care what I think about you. Similarly a player might not care what they think about them but the mere collection of user data is bad for the player.
Probably he might fire you after getting trained staffed. This is very old strategy. Hold onto a employee till a cheaper replacement. Enjoy while it last start searching for better company
