This is a totally different class of software than what that post is ranting about. Charles is a local developer tool intended for temporary use when debugging. It only inspects TLS connections if 1) you enable that feature and 2) you add the domain being connected to the list to be inspected.
That being said, the mechanism is the same. Charles generates a root certificate that it uses to issue certificates for each domain in intercepts a TLS connection for and you need to install that root certificate in your OS such that your clients will trust that certificate. If you have a client that doesn’t use the Mac OS certificate store you may have to do some extra per client configuration.
I also despise “security” tools that intercept and inspect TLS traffic (such as ZAcaler for example), but I find a Charles to be very useful for what it does and the TLS inspection support is easy to use and really helpful/necessary in some cases.
Presumably she is young enough to have completely missed out on Myst, which will be very dated now but was groundbreaking at the time and is most definitely a work of art.
These puzzle games are all very distinctive and beautiful in my opinion:
- Limbo
- Manifold Garden
- Monument Valley
I think on its face the question “can video games be art?” Is both absurd and obviously answered. The question are their games your partner will enjoy playing and want to spend time on is obviously totally different.
The EU’s oppressive regulations are based an absurd lack of understanding of how technology works. If consumers find an aspect of the protocol bothersome they have the power to use a browser or extension that makes it possible to block or disable it. We do not need a nanny state government imposing fines and threats on legitimate well intentioned websites. IMHO: Good riddance to this broken regulation.
