I think most people that traditionally used iTunes didn’t keep other copies somewhere else, since it was meant to be the music manager for all music, so if it screws up their library they lose their files.

The uploading and syncing local files was (is) already a feature of iTunes Match. Apple Music just expands it to allow it for music they don’t own, however people have had it take their files and relabel them as Apple Music files and then lock them out if they cancel their subscription.

The downside is combining my local music management with their streaming service, I’d rather they were entirely separate with the option of playing local files, as Spotify does. The option to upload files would be fine.

That’s one of the largest downsides imo. People have had their libraries converted and suddenly they don’t have their owned music anymore.

Tune My Music is legit. It is what Deezer uses if you transfer. I think if you do it through Deezer it’s even free: https://www.deezer.com/explore/en-us/features/transfer-playlist/

What stuff? Snap? The official flatpak? The official deb repository?

Discover only removes it from ten sites.

They are talking about the password lookup: https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

But, it’s the same deal. You have to trust they are actually doing what they say. Mozilla uses haveibeenpwned for their basic Monitor service too.

No. If your name is Dave Jones they have to look around those broker sites for Dave Jones. If those sites were using hashes then they could use hashes too.

This is no different than any credit or identity monitoring service. The need to give them basic information should be obvious, people have to decide if the company is trustworthy or not.

There is some controversy recently due to partnering with Brave for search results, and the response to comments. Brave tends to be controversial any time it comes up anyway, outside of Eich’s political views.

company x founder personal political views was not a factor in this evaluation for this or any any provider we added (for betteor or worse) and merit of technology was the main factor. Politics finding its way into tech is one of the reasons we do not have innovation any more

People can go whatever direction they want with that.
