Pretty sure they blocked that no internet option too, though Rufus has a checkbox to re-enable it.

Did you maybe respond to the wrong comment? I was just making a joke about a user here “dragonfucker” or smt, with pronouns drag/dragself. Idk if they’re still active, I blocked em ages ago

Yes, before long there will be people basing their entire identity on wanting to be fucked by drago… Oh wait

The EU actually was working on a system described above based on some sort of zero knowledge proof (so verification via your gov’t id, but without the verifying party being able to assert anything other than age > 18 or whatever data you want to verify)

Unless you are talking about a future where the surveillance state has outlawed basic privacy your statement is just straight false. Sure they are getting there with backdoors in encryption etc, but we’re not quite there yet.

Just because criminals value their privacy doesn’t mean that everyone that values their privacy is a criminal.

The launcher is just an app, but the way it’s set up ensures that different launcher apps cannot offer the same experience as the stock one.

Rabbit hole I dove into trying to figure out why my back to homepage didn’t feel snappy (like the swipe up animation goes and only after it’s done the icons load). Turns out that’s pretty much intentional and the solution is rooting your phone.

This week I gave up on trying to convince the teamlead an oauth access token lifetime of 5 years is too much. Yes, an access token, not an API key. There’s no revocation mechanism either.

At home I fixed RBAC for traefic, after wading through config and in the end basically just flipping switches until it worked. It does work now though so admin apps are inaccessible to family accounts. Still somewhat open for suggestions as I’m not 100% convinced by traefic yet.

It’s kinda cool as in you can compile a bunch of languages to wasm, so instead of being locked to JavaScript (/typescript) you can instead code in e.g. rust, have all the advantages of the compiler and still run in the browser.

Illegal but not being enforced at all. Just like the big green ‘Track me daddy’ button next to a small grey ‘refuse’ button. Or the ones that force you to go through a list of every partner and disable each separate one. Or etc… All those are illegal, but companies love testing the limits, and with the level of enforcement… Yeah

Then you’d need to run adb once for the first install of fdroid/shizuku. Admittedly not great, but doing that once will not stop many OSS enthousiasts. It would widen the gap between power user and normal user considerably which also isn’t great.

You do not, it can connect with your own wireless debugging session. https://shizuku.rikka.app/guide/setup/#start-via-wireless-debugging Works since android 11

At least with something like shizuku one can effectively adb to your own phone, so even if adb became required to install non-google-approved apps on one’s own phone… It will not block FOSS for long.

Wires are annoying as hell, and a proper desktop wireless headphone will have basically no loss in quality as they have a base station and are not using Bluetooth.

Same with the mouse, for things like gaming latency can be an issue, but a proper one isn’t using Bluetooth either so no issues on that end (or at least the difference is lower than my skill issue, which causes me to lose games)

I’ve had AI confidently tell me the latest version of .NET is 8, even talking back at me when correcting it until I told it it had to search the web.

I mean don’t you know that firefox loads a FULL web browser with an engine and all every time it boots up?

And the alternative is?

Also, didn’t opera sell to some spyware company? I’m team zen (firefox fork with some very neat extra features) btw.

Exactly this, the commenter above even mentioned they have a VPS already, what’s stopping them from (this is just an option) slapping tailscale on there, enabling it as an exit node and being done with it? Would literally take 5 minutes and suddenly your traffic is coming from a datacenter and not your home IP

DeArrow shows the title as something like “why you can’t trust AI with facts”
