Comment We talk, they do (Score 3, Insightful) 39

This is another classic. There was literally just a thread 1 or days ago where some American guy was like "hey guys, what do you think of this great idea" and the general response was "pshaw, never work." "HIPAA." "Freeeeedumb!" Meanwhile, Singapore developed the app and rolled it out. America. Can't screen. Can't test. Can't contact trace. Can't source supplies. Can't quarantine. The country of can't. The country of brands, propaganda and PR. We can't do anything, but we can convince you of anything

For example, what percentage of sites use Javascript for malicious purposes? And second, I'm actually surprised the number is not higher. There are a finite number of legitimate sites, which probably slowly expands over time. But the vast majority of sites these days are malicious actors in one or another, and those sites are literally spawning like dividing cells as there is no barrier to spinning new ones up. Whether influence peddling, SEO or hosting crypto miners, there are far more low quality sites than high quality sites, so not surprising to see this.

If this were a discussion about Microsoft, I guess I might understand the invective being spewed about using lawyers to enforce intellectual rights issues. However, that invective would still be misplaced even if this were a discussion about MS. It seems to me that every company has the right to protect its interests. Apple's interests are quite transparent here: To make sure Apple gets paid for the work of its engineers and Apple survives another year. It is also disingenuous to argue, as some in this thread have, that this fix allows users to revert to an earlier version, and thus some sort of public interest. That justification is grasping at threads. Every person in this discussion knows the majority of individuals using this hack will be using it to get an operating system for the cost of the upgrade.
