… so why are eg flatpak apps less secure than Android ones?

And Play & Apple stores are full of unchecked scam apps. They basically are solving this by securing the os more. Yet apps (even Instagram) can still take pics without your action. I assume they listed in on you too.

The app (& SDK) argument I think has more to do with user- and dev-base. Something that Microsoft failed at in the mobile market. So basically we need a quality/seamless way of running Android apps on Linux.

And since we can run Win games on Linux very nicely I think this wouldn’t be that much of an issue … Tho minimal industry support (eg banking apps) is still needed.

Yes, this.

Google is slowly but consistently closing down the ecosystem (that should have been openv all the way through anyways).

Just like with the search engine, the early ad-free serve-everyone-equally stage is dead. Now the monopoly is about to monetise what it can & control all the things.
(Thighs might escalate a bit quicker since the “Googles android” is prob at it’s peak market share rn & the China alternatives are gonna steamroll even oven giants like Google and Apple to a significant extent.)

It’s a bit diffident when you don’t have big megacorp subsidies (Meta, Google, various local-market apps, etc) & have to buy all hardware from third parties. And perhaps not have planned obsolescence. And upsales. And ad revenue. And frown upon slave or unhappy workforce & other negative society impacts.

Also it looks like an ok phone, low spec cameras, but still the usual dimensions, OLED, enough RAM & CPU to be usable in desktop mode, Linux.

Wait, didn’t they have a whole franchise abut this?
(Idk, I’m not into soapy teen fantasy drama.)

All I remember from the memes is that one sparklers in sunlight (I guess vampires).

… I was not expecting this many people to (so strongly) take sides in what is basically a kerfuffle between two mega villains.

(Og) Nazis had a lot of infighting too, still fascist mass murderers.

Only if he first gives away all his assets.

But then we wound just see how incompetent is without capital/money to do the work for him. Even decide for him what work needs to be done.

Otherwise … You know, 18h refine regular shifts instead of 8, tax cuts for the rich, competition bashing, building monopolies, selling to the highest bidder, etc.

It’s pretty all out and clear, the what & what nots I mean.

Same.

In the meantime I’m using (offline) Kobo for the practicality (light-weight, compact, water resistant).

Trump taco sounds lewd

Yes, your are right, here is a map of Europe where you have chad power plugs in a-Murika (outside these towns only virgin plugs):

I’ve been using them on my phones since Nokia 3650.

I agree but how many people in the west call USA war tactics terrorist?

Terrorist acts, in its core, are what is meant to shock the population, a means of (usually killing the civilian population) achieving the effect on people with less (economically).
Eg nuking civilian population (for terror among the nation) vs nuking the same nations unpopulated areas (or, weeks before that, systematically using incendiary bombs on civilians).

Words have meaning, that is why propaganda changes the narratives/words (sometimes even word definitions).

She must have called that kid at the Capitol an N-word SO MANY TIMES to get that much…

Not a terrorist after a terrorist from there same faction gets into the highest pubic office.

Unfortunately/sadly I’m not even being sarcastic. That is just how it works, what next gens get taught, & what the majority just accepts over time (until the regime change).

We still celebrate plenty of historical monsters.

That son of a cat actually did it!!

Yes, I know & agree :(.

It’s just what my brainhole does to micro-entertain itself.

Proxmox ftw

Ass action go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Autostreer to far right might sound good to some (apparently??) but it’s an issue in actual traffic.

I do daydreaming before I do nightdreaming before I wish to do the deathdreaming.

Dreaming is cool.

(Is this why people can’t just wait a few hours somewhere if it makes sense?)
