making apps that send notifications over proprietary push-notification channels instead of supporting open, accessible, cross-plaform communication channels like email?
They made their own push notification server with an Affero GPL license (which means even server operators have to release source that they change), and as such I would not consider proprietary. Email is not a push channel in either IMAP or POP3.
The parent of my post was arguing against a "proprietary push implementation" in favor of email, but my argument is that the receiving of email is not via push.
No, the EFF Should not be writing articles full of lies attacking the company that has consistently defended consumer rights and supporting the company that has consistently violated them.
Don't you see? Since we are all so very scared of malware, apple is our very best friend. This is the beginning and the end of the conversation on 'consumer rights'. If you disagree, then you support malware. Shame on you.
The fanatical bias at play here is really astounding, and is especially interesting and sad when its coupled with ongoing accusations of similar directed towards everyone else.
But I think we both know he isn't being paid. So what is the motive?
This is a testament to the amazing cultural/social (not technical) feat that this company has accomplished this past decade.
Yes, you're right. Where can I go to donate to EFF and further this important cause?
Oh, wait. I make my money as a software developer, selling my work directly to people who appreciate it. The EFF wouldn't accept such dirty money, would they?
