This story was written in another text also and discussed on HN. It was longer and the author also described how later in life he introduced a standard to wear hemlets on bicycle competitions. (Sorry, I dont have a link handy)

Not sure GitHub has such a clause. Just looked at their terms and don't see it.

I've been wondering for several years why no-one does this yet.

Have you found this stuff useful during the many years since you learned it? Or you don't mean you mastered it enough to judge its usefulness?

No, I dont want to clear storage - there is data I downloaded into the app and work with that I dont want to lose. But the app also accumulates some temp files there.

Android doesn't even let you access your files. It has famously blocked acess to the subfolders of /Android/data/ - every app has a subfolder there where it stores files. And you can not visit these subfolders since Android 11.

A buggy app accumulates gigabytes (literaly, i am not exagregating) of temp files there, but i cant visit the folder to delete them.

Google explains that "it's for you safety".

I have to call it with the strong word "idiotic".

There are apps now where storing files in a shared, accessible folder is a payed option.

Not only that is outrageous, I belive that violates the existing "right of access" laws like GDPR. I am condidering even submitting Subject Access Request to Google about my /Android/data/ subdirectories.

> The goal they are trying to achieve is good, but the execution is just stupid and will make everyone, including and maybe especially the people they want to protect, less safe online.

If so, the best way to stop that is to sugest a good way to achieve the good goal.

How would solve these good goals?

Everyone knows what model is. Almost noone knows what is controller.

And capcha forces users to train neural networks for free, planning to then replace the users with those neural networks :)

Moreover, website ovners even pay for capcha. It should be other way around - people participated in training the neural nets should share profit and owhership of the networks, at the very least.

Ha-ha.

Android doesn't even let you access your files. It has famously blocked acess to the subfolders of /Android/data - every app has a subfolder there where it sfores files. And you can not visit these subfolders since Android 11.

A buggy app accumulates gigabytes (literaly, i am not exagregating) of temp files there, but i cant visit the folder to delete them.

And in this world you want to own your hardware.

Thank you for the comment. I mean fences.

Haven't ever heard of barriers as a counter-like primitive (sounds like a semaphore or CountDownLatch)
