From f517a665242649d6e0b15ab0ac68c1cc3285515c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sergey Matveev Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2021 13:22:42 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] WWWorst App Store MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit http://techrights.org/2021/03/18/alexandre-oliva-on-webapps/ Понравилось введение о том, чем сейчас является mainstream часть WWW: Picture the most abusive app store: * Programs in it are meant to run on your own computer. * However, you have to be online to run them. * Every time you start them, they contact the app store. * If there is an updated version, it's installed automatically, no questions asked. You'd rather run the earlier version? Tough. * If the app store decides you're no longer welcome, the program won't start any more. * If the app store servers are offline, or if you are, it won't start either. * Programs in this app store must also hold your data in the app store's servers. * If the program won't start, you can't get to the data on the servers any more. * You may have downloaded backups of your data, but you'd have to figure out how to decode them without the program. -- 2.48.1
