Can't wait until MV2 is gone in Chrome, I'm curious how much this will diminish real-world effectiveness of ad blockers and if that'll bring browsers that maintain the features ad blockers like to use a bit more market…
Well, I'd guess for most people it doesn't matter whether the LED-chips themselves, capacitors, or some other part of the circuitry fails. If cost-cut cheap LED bulbs with components driven to the max are the norm,…
yes it is, and I agree their home page is shit. I downloaded it trough F-Droid and didn't really background check it, maybe you wanna take a look at their repo: https://gitlab.com/AuroraOSS/AuroraStore
I think how error prone the system is shouldn't matter, even it it was absolutely perfect, this is an dystopian privacy invasion.
You can use "Aurora Store" to download apps without a google account, I use that on lineageOS
If you're concerned about your privacy I'd advise against just trying to disable uploading but still giving your photos to apps you don't trust, primarily because of possible future implementation of client-side…
This kind of stuff is one reason why it should be illegal for platforms to censor at will, it should be possible to sue them for censoring stuff they shouldn't be censoring just as it is for not censoring stuff they…
Why? Why should be fight for legal recourse first before we tackle the real problem? (At least in this context, legal recourse for unwarranted service termination can also be useful for things unrelated to scanning of…
good point
moving everything into the browser is a bad fix for broken software distribution.
Well what you encountered here is IMHO a problem of power, not a problem with your App, guidelines, your marketing, or whatever. The problem is that a third party has the power to stop your customers from using your…
Yeah, that's pretty much a "Karteileiche" though, nobody takes that law seriously. This has less to do with germany being overly restrictive in that domain and more with incompetence: The law says something like…
The Google Translation is accurate in this case, it's just as vague in German as it is in English
I agree that a lot of theses restrictions are serous restrictions to civil liberties, but they are not fascistic in nature and our attitude towards the government is quite different than the attitude of ppl from the USA…
I think the main issues are polarization and the two party political landscape for you guys across the pond. Don't forget that the grass often seems greener on the other side, we here in germany also have a lot of…
To correct for under-/overrepresented groups you need to change your hiring decision based on the groups of the applicants. And preferring hiring based on these groups (sex, race, etc) is sexism and racism in my books.
> and [I] use my influence to help correct that as much as possible without sacrificing operational readiness. So racism/sexism is okay as long as it doesn't hurt operational readiness? Or do you not consider this…
> certain radical ideologies do not acknowledge neutrality So what? Why can't we acknowledge neutrality because some other people don't?
> You're part of the problem. Not actively pushing back against something doesn't make one "part of the problem". It makes one a bystander, and no, bystanders are not part part of the problem they are neutrals. They…
hmm..., making critical infrastructure directly dependent on other (possibly hostile) nations sounds like a good idea. What could possibly go wrong? Btw, didn't china had widespread outages due to market failures…
A phone is a product, the iOS app platform(or app distribution on iOS to be more precise) is a (monopolized) market, not a product.
You're conflating the phones themselves with the secondary markets they create. The problem is that Apple has a monopoly in selling/distributing Apps to iphone users. This is not the case on other operating systems,…
I don't think Taiwan is too keen on breaking TSMC's monopoly, not to mention all the other international politics around this.
Pardon me, I think you misunderstand what I claim they have a monopoly on. They (obviously) don't have a monopoly on the mobile(or mobile software) market. They have a monopoly on the iOS software distribution market(a…
I think the opposite is true. Modern Hardware is more than fast enough for pretty much all end-user applications(except maybe high-end gaming, but that's not sorely needed), we're just too wasteful with all the…
