RMS warned of this a bit over 20 years ago. This is why you should get Free and Open source software and not Open Source Software. Preferably with a GPL licence which allows you to download, run, read the code, modify it and share it. Open source can mean you only have the right to read the code and signal to the dev code you’ve saw that could have been better or errors you saw.
They are correct. It only means more work for future devices, makes the initial port to a device slower. But then, once things have been figured out. It becomes just as fast and reliable as it was (unless what I said earlier: Google setting things in a very different way in a major update (for example, moving to Fushia, which has been abandoned)
I agree, but it’s more complicated than that: They have removed the device tree for pixel devices from AOSP and using the device tree of the basic virtual phone in android studio instead. That brings the pixel 10 family (as well as future android pixel devices) to the same level as many other phonemaker’s devices as far as making roms is concerned. So not all hardware will be documented, many drivers will need to be rebuilt. The pixel line up to the 9a is not affected because older device trees can be used (until Google wants to mod the way drivers load or add API’s).
Usually, the company you bought the domain from sends a e-mail once a year to ask you to verify the WHOIS information is correct.
It doesn’t go any further than that if your just hosting nextcloud, a DNS, a blog.
If the website is used to break the law, then that email is contacted, if the email is non respondant, the email provider is asked for IP adress at the time of the last connection, if ISP: you get contacted, if VPN provider: IP at plan subscription or last connection etc. until they can reach an ISP. Then you get contacted.
“Just a tuta email” … Tuta nota is a serious email provider.
Wasn’t a false equivalence. You are twisting shit around to defend yourself in quite a telling way .
Have a great day, and get of screens for a while, it’ll do you good.
Fascists thrive on a fragmented information space. By not verifying your sources, you participate to this fragmentation and therefore the dilution of truth in the sea of lies.
You even use the same line of defense as the trump fans :" I didn’t know it was a joke and immigrants don’t eat pets."
You are part of the pro fascist movement if you spread disinformation, especially on political takes. No matter the side.
There is a location module in microg’s git repository that can work as a standalone (so without the main microg app) to enable other A-GPS sources (quite a few allow on device antenna database storage), you would find them using “NLP” in f-droid.
It’s Thunderbird… Of course they release the code! How would it even exist without releasing the code?
BTW: K-9 is also Thunderbird.
The problem is when you try to understand the other side, you have to hear them.
There are a quite a few cases with anguished parents trying to move some loved child out of a sect (Scientology, the Family etc.) ending up brainwashed.
Pixel 10 are set get quite powerful GPUs with raytracing etc
Google is starting to use DRM on all it’s videos so that only the official youtube clients on devices and big browser brands can play them. It also kills all the systems like invidious.
I mean the chips cores being 100% Designed by AI using Alphachip (which has been open sourced by Google) or other AI only chip designing tools instead of using off the shelf ARM or RISC cores.
I don’t know how they spent so much time with Samsung, especially since TSMC is accostumed to using alphachip for the dimensity line, the same AI chip designing tool Google uses for it’s NPU’s. Iwonder what it could mean for the future of chip design, is the ARM architecture about to be rendered irelevant by AI.
It’s sandboxed as a user app, the goal being that you can plug it’s inputs so the outputs are less talkative to Google’s servers, it will still call home until you remove its network permissions, but then notifications don’t work.
It’s not fdroid that doesn’t make it easy to insyall apps that are open source but not FOSS, it’s the licence of the non gpl open source softwarebthat usualy bans modifying, building and redistributing the code. It’s not foss, it’s just viewable source.
Because in the main repo of fdroid, the apps code is quickly eyed then packaged by the fdroid team from source (plus a quick virus scan. Google only does reputation check and use virus total (their android anti-virus and anti malware software), yes, the same virus total you can access as an app or webpage.
You know, games can be great tabletop too, strategic, tactical, RPG, it’s all there + you get to meet people you wouldn’t have met IRL because, like online gaming, it unites people from different walks of life. Great friendships are regularly made around gaming boards and those friends don’t need software to talk too. Yes I know, some games require figurine armies but you can always find someone who’ll be happy to lend you an army for a game and there are whole second hand armies sold.
That was then, now they are very pro FANGS and removing all barriers because they are afraid of tariffs and want the US to keep selling them weapons for Ukraine.
