So you always know what is the risk and who’s responsible for it with Chinese tech, and for American tech you’ll never know who’s stealing your data and what enshittification will happen on the next day

Because effectively nothing is changing. Android is still open source, OEMs still have access to the internal branches for early development, custom ROMs will still have to wait until the new version is released to source entirely.

There are many other apps, like Signal, that have the same development approach but no one complained about it. It’s just a lot of misinformation due to misunderstandings with these headlines.

Simply having a pull tab like most phones or that electrical release like Apple does is enough to satisfy the EU regulation. The batteries need to be easily replaceable without special tools by repair shops (first and third party, certified or not).

Leaving the board of directors is pretty much as giving up ownership rights. He has nothing to do with Bluesky anymore and he makes us sure he doesn’t want to.

Jack Dorsey has nothing to do with Bluesky

It doesn’t matter if it’s a “far more organised approach”, logseq simply doesn’t fit many types of workflows for note taking.

logseq is a zettelkasten program; Obsidian is a text editor

These new security features do not (and can not) apply to apps distributed outside of the Play Store, so it won’t compromise third party stores whatsoever.

This makes me internationally angry

Say what you will about the country, but gov.br and PIX put everything else to shame and no one even came close to something like that

But you’re not handing your phone over, it stays in your hand and if there’s a QR code to scan they’ll scan it with the phone in your hand

In Brazil, the officer just uses their own phone to scan a validation QR on the ID app, at no point your phone leaves your hand and in a few seconds the officer has what they need. Shouldn’t this be the case in the EU? AFAIK the officers only take your physical ID to check the number, so if you’re using the app they shouldn’t need to confirm that as the info is already validated

In my experience, doesn’t matter. You can use lutris/bottles or install on a windows pc and copy files to the Deck and it’ll work, the distro is irrelevant in this case.

I stick with Steam OS because I don’t see any real world benefits of changing to another distro

Honestly, at this point, they deserve every single bad thing that happens to them.

Unfortunately those bad things will also trickle down for the rest of the world and I’m so tired of that

How is atomic less confusing? Immutable means that something doesn’t change, atomic means that it’s the size of an atom or has nuclear energy

EDIT: I’ve learned that some people are overly pedantic about the meaning and practical use of the word “immutable”, so much so that they decided to create a bigger confusion by giving another word a completely different and exclusive meaning

You still have to install WhatsApp though, since it requires activity on your account (on the app) every 14 days.

At least you get rid of the spam from a clear karma farmer!

Yes people, I know you cannot see other people’s karma, but the attitude is still the same.

There are at least 3.45 billion Chrome users (not chromium, chrome).

Out of those ~900 million adblocker users, how many are using those adblockers that let paid advertiser’s to get on a whitelist? How many are willing to make an effort to change browsers? Firefox’s 180 million users is the indicative of this, and not all of them user adblockers, so the numbers keep getting thinner.

It wouldn’t make a single dent in Chrome’s dominance.

If every single person that uses adblock decided to move to Firefox because of MV3, it wouldn’t make a single dent in Chromium’s dominance. We vastly overstate the amount of people that even know what an adblocker is.
