… 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.

It’s hard working in an office environment.

1. live very dangerously
2. have a tattoo about you having sex with a skeleton
3. tell death about the game but ask them to being it

Death came twice that day.

Oh, def, that’s why MS is doing shit like that (for a decade now).

I’ve def helped friends out with this issue before.

Also on laptop, yeah - I only ever had one laptop in my life (a Gemini Celeron for like 300 monies), but it has two drives (both sata iirc).
(I only need it to remote to my servers & maybe some web browsing.)

I assume this isn’t usual?

Not if they are on the (encrypted at that) Linux disc & uefi boots to that drive.

I’m glad I’ve always kept Windows on a separate disk.

… for a split second I though another Siffredi is a talented snowboarder …

“Businessmen” caused a mass extinction event (on top of direct ecosystem changes), lions did not.

Man, I really wish I could afford to go on a safari like that … if it’s not clear, I mean the safari that lion had, I wanna join on the side of lions.

Similarly with the orca yachting.

I do think about that.

But also about how T-Rex was on the other side of the galaxy.

Same.

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

The USA always rewarded & protected the worst of humanity.

Way cheaper than the other way around.
