Which is fine for their store. But one of the things that used to make Android a more free ecosystem was that you could load apps from 3rd-party sites or stores, including stuff like F-Droid. Some of these apps do things that Google in particular won’t like - i.e. circumventing ads/analytics - so having them control who gets signing keys is not good

phx@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are usingEnglish3·2 months agoYeah, and after having dealt with the “I missed a few updates and then the last one put my files out of sync with my schema” Docker issues, I’m very much happy to use the snap. Been on that a couple years and it’s been quite solid, even if I did have to install snapd on my Debian base for it
You wouldn’t be though. It’s 10 hours younger looking (presumably than your actual age, so it doesn’t stack)
But you’re not actually losing age in this one, just looking 10 hours younger so it wouldn’t really stack.
I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).
Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.
Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game
phx@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis RossmannEnglish2·2 months agoYeah I agree. I’ve used PMOS as well as Lineage and Graphene. The latter was the best experience and PMOS was the one that needed the most work, at least to reach any sort of side adoption.
I’m actually looking at something running SailfishOS as my potential happy mid-point, but currently the Jolla phone - which would be my preferred device for this - doesn’t seem to shop outside Europe yet.
phx@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? [close this topic maybe?]6·2 months agoWell, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada
-
Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)
-
Restaurants that won’t even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)
-
Realtors that won’t show you housing (if non Chinese)
But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem… racist.
And that’s the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as “the oppressor”. Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.
That’s because it’s easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.

phx@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The average age of Disney princesses is 505y.2·2 months agoWhere did they get the ages from then? It seems to me most Disney movies explicitly don’t mention age in any sort of direct manner
phx@lemmy.cato Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•The average age of Disney princesses is 505y.3·2 months agoI’m not sure Alice would even qualify as a Disney Princess, unless there’s some lineage I’m unaware of. She’s already one of the few without some sort of romantic subplot.
Mulan… Aristocracy with a royal award maybe, but not really royalty either.
Yup. It was more my thought that a low power over could produce sufficient results while requiring less resources. Something that can run on a desktop computer could still produce a database with reams of believable garbage that would take a lot of resources from the attacking AI to sort through, or otherwise corrupt its own harvested cache
Yeah that was my thought. Don’t reject them, that’s obvious and they’ll work around it. Feed them shit data - but not too obviously shit - and they’ll not only swallow it but eventually build up to levels where it compromises them.
I’ve suggested the same for plain old non-AI data stealing. Make the data useless to them and cost more work to separate good from bad, and they’ll eventually either sod off or die.
A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s. It doesn’t need to be done real-time either as datasets can be generated in advance
phx@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?6·2 months agoNew product idea. A smart toilet which measures each load for weight, scent output, liquidity, girth, and length (compensating for water volume and pre-TP) before you flush.
Forget competing with friends for Fitbit steps. It’ll be “Suzy had one that required the poo knife, but Bobby’s toilet called 9-1-1 for him so I think he wins”
Arch has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Ubuntu is probably the most “mainstream”, but I prefer Mint (based on Ubuntu) for some user-friendly changes. PopOS (already based on Ubuntu) is also supposed to be a bit more gaming centric if you’ve got an Nvidia card.
I’ve got an AMD kit in my main machine and Nvidia/Intel in my laptop and both work fine with most Steam games using Proton.
phx@lemmy.cato Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•In Norway, laser weapons are being used to remove sea lice from farmed salmon. The Stingray Laser System uses cameras to scan the fish, identify lice, and then deliver a laser pulse to kill them.6·2 months agoSo now the fish are lice free, but blind? D’oh!
phx@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone BatteriesEnglish3·2 months agosome permissions can be set per app. I’m not sure battery level is one of those and I have apps (i.e. homeassistant) which can read thatwithout me actually having explicitly allowed it. Usually it’s stuff one pictures/files, location, camera or health data that are restricted
Yeah. I played that biach in poker and she cleaned me out. Pay sure she had her little animal friends informing on my card.
Fair my ass…
phx@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Mastercard deflects blame for NSFW games being taken down, but Valve says payment processors 'specifically cited' a Mastercard rule about damaging the brandEnglish13·3 months agoThey’re not talking about with Steam customers though, but rather with the religious idiots who have decided to crusade against porn, feel emboldened by recent age-ID bills and are now pursuing the “MasterCard funds filth” angle.
I’m kinda wondering what the ratio of anti-porn religious knobs is you gamers. There’s a lot of religious folk but many of them also enjoy porn so …
That’s horrible but kinda hilarious too. Wondering how the hell they tracked that one down.
“Well this one had bits of corn and bean in it but only Bob had that today for lunch and I’m positive I saw him bolting for the men’s room, so mayyybe…”
I’ve got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that’s the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn’t so bad. It can even numb things up if you’ve been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.
Actually, he’s such a gun afficiando that he regularly eats bullets for breakfast, but this time accidentally ate a live round which was later set off by stomach acid and propelled in an upward direction at a slight angle.
