As long as 99.9999999% of Android users use Google Android it won’t matter that 0.0000001% doesn’t.

Android… Best of both worlds…

Yeah… Russians are known for their ability to reverse engineer and circumvent protections of all sorts… For good and bad…

I’m pretty sure it won’t take long before there are easy ways to circumvent whatever VPN blocking Putin invests in…

So it’s time for our EU politicians to step up then…

Hey, US, where are you in this? We need you guys to get on board with the right to privacy…

Windows does that automatically when switching from Linux to Windows… 😁

Yup. Just like my Nexus 10. Even though no one loves it I still do…

Ads?

“Hi, I’m calling about your recent interest in furry related content. We at Furry Fetish inc recently mailed you a catalogue of our products… Oh…you haven’t recieved it yet? Well, no worries. It was sent to 324 North Street…oh… You live on 325 North Street? No worries, your name is printed in large so whoever received it knows that is was for you and will probably deliver it to you…”

Isn’t “anyone can fork if a project doesn’t really fit their taste” sort of the curse of open source?

Swallowing your pride, merging into another project and taking a less glamorous role in that project is not as easy as it was to fork when steering your project.

This is generally speaking. I’m definitively not saying any of this is that case with the XFS project.

Ps. Murdering your wife is also something that seems to be bad for filesystems…

Old timer here.

In the old days Microsoft essentially conquered the web by creating specialized features only available for their web browser.

This is the reason why we still suffer with IE compatibility mode in Edge. A lot of corporations still have systems that rely on clients being IE compatible.

Google essentially does the same with their services and Chrome.

I know. I was just playing with Cunningham’s law to clarify that while Android is not GNU it’s still Linux.

Unfortunately this is coming and a majority of people are going to happily step on to the train.

Think of it like this: 99% of all apps could have been just web apps in a mobile browser (Hell, a majority essentially are just a wrapped web app) but because of companies offering more/better functionality people choose to use the app.

All that needs to happen is sites starting require DRM functionality for “security reasons” so that the end user can enjoy more features.

A majority of end users don’t understand the implications when making choices like these.

Care to elaborate?

So Linux is an operating system and Android isn’t?

This.

Intel is pulling out and ASUS continues, how is that more competition?

One thing that Lemmy and Reddit seems to have in common is the mysterious reasons why some relevant posts are downvoted. At -15 after a day.

This post is 3 years old but the replies are at the most days old.

What is happening with Lemmy?

I noticed right after replying. However, It’s still important to crumble the ridiculous attempt to stain Mozilla and Firefox.

It seems he used this url: https://themarkup.org/blacklight?url=mozilla.com

The tool just analyzes the Mozilla webpage and have nothing to do with Mozilla Firefox web browser.

Swede here. You need Ikea.
