Never really thought of this! But I do sometimes find downloads that come with the booklet scans and that's always interesting to see.
First - a lot of things are just not on there. And second - not allowing alternative sources gets really bad when said store is asked to censor apps, like, say, proxy clients or alternative social media apps (Newpipe,…
No Google services, but let's not pretend Huawei ones are any better in terms of privacy.
For backup, I'd rather do a 3-2-1 together with my other important data, it's not like CDs are the best for general backup anyway.
Books are also the one thing I much prefer to have physically! I can usually get fiction in my language (mostly in secondhand bookstores now), but I still have to get most things digitally. Most books I read are in…
To be fair, most phones have invasive Google/Apple/Chinese OEM services that work with high privileges and are invasive on their own, without apps. The share of people using degoogled OSes is small enough to assume it…
Statements like this are a stretch. This was not the fact of using the OS, but specifically the fact of wiping it. The situation is atrocious enough as is, no need to make up additions.
> It's important to remember that to this day, streaming sites do not have a full archive of the music out there. And even if they did, you'd still need to pirate a copy of your collection to own it (as there's a chance…
Big thanks for clearing that out! Makes sense.

The answer here would be "there's no such thing as a generic "server" like in ActivityPub because it's split into different components, of which a PDS is only one". Honestly my main question here is "If you disagree…
I didn't mean anything exact, more like a joking suggestion. But yeah, if we're talking seriously - seems like this boils down to a ton of luck (good genetics and a secure enough employment or opportunity).
I don't think it's generational. I got the impression it's a share of about every age group. Also, ownership can be a side effect for even those who don't care, just because they're used to not paying for things. For…
I see nothing wrong with abandoning physical media - as storage got larger and internet faster, being limited by clunky disks has become kinda pointless unless you're specifically into collecting. I see nothing wrong…
Why would anyone use slop alternatives though? I don't think people wouldn't be creating non-slop ones.
Lol, relatable. For me it's not the library (because I have backups of that), but the in-game items. And not even for their monetary worth (which is relatively low), but for sentimental value (the stats counted on them).
Profiles are a thing in "stock" Android too, they just don't have the toggle to disallow them working in the background, the "Install available apps" option and Google services also keep working across profiles. If you…
I see nobody saying "good afternoon" in a grocery store, that's the one place where you keep interactions to a minimum. Also, self-checkouts are not always an option because at least the ones at grocery stores here…
Also "Father hiding behind his newspaper at the dinner table" has been a meme since forever.
I know Chrome has some additional limitations, and in a vacuum MV3 doesn't break UBO as hard - but is blocking of the "Element picker" part of that or inherent to MV3? I rely on that a lot.
I only used Rutracker and Rarbg (rip), TPB felt sketchier. I wonder what's the "prime" English-language public tracker now? 1337?
I don't think I'd prefer this, tbh. I would want to see the whole topic information when choosing what exact torrent to download. Is it marked "verified" or "questionable"? If it's "questionable", is it for some…
> Seems to me that if we want this at all, it should be an independent body that approves signing keys of vetted vendors (e.g. vendors roll out security updates timely, etc.). This is also a horrible idea. If an OS can…

Would like to read a writeup on this, I was certain it was going to be something like this from the app's announcement. Also I recall a discussion on Graphene's forums that DRM ID is not only retained there, but stays…
