You’re talking about during CI. Not during the actual coding process. You’re not signing code while you’re debugging.

You’re literally using a service there that isn’t the case for.

You got cheap ones. And like bottom of the barrel cheap. I have ones from Home Depot and that has never happened. What has happened is that the internal strings have a lot more friction on them and they have snapped, rendering the entire thing broken. But of course I got the cheapest ones from Home Depot too.

you don't code sign during development....

They already have your photo for your passport or license and they don’t need permission to take video or photos in an airport at all.

The stats disagree with you, so your anecdotes don’t really mean anything…

It’s not an either or. It’s _if it’s free, you’re the product _. That’s it. It’s not saying anything about if you pay for it.

They chose not to make this feature opt-in because they know that nobody in their right mind would opt into it

Nobody would opt into it because like your OP said, there’s an astroturfing campaign to make sure that people completely misunderstand what the feature is and what it does.

When everyone around you lies to you and tells you that seatbelts are “unsafe” and then the Feds come in and say “no they’re not”, you’re still gonna believe everyone around you even if they’re patently false. Hence forcing it so people see there isn’t a problem.

Counter counter retort. Just stop replying if you’re not going to participate in the discussion.

(Now we’re at 15 now since that article came out, with the introduction of Rye).

Not that I don’t believe you but I’d love to cite this in future discussions, where did you get your stats from?
