Wdym push notifications are not private on Graphene??

Honestly this is a big nothingburger. Without further details there’s nothing much we can really conclude other than TDF and Collabora being in a legal dispute. Nothing conclusive really

Thunderbird is pretty neat tho

Fucking hell I hope someone sues the shit out of the EU for this

I wish there was more like pragmatic political action taking than just violence mongering on lemmy, but thats just me

And what do you think happens when big platforms have to introduce age verification? People will just go to smaller unregulated sites which may inadvertently be worse because of malware risks and unregulated content. You just can’t take the porn out of the internet, people always find a way

Honestly I would much rather long term have decent Linux for phones, as AOSP derived programs will always rely in some way on google code. I would prefer having one large FOSS Linux ecosystem

They have a tool called advanced privacy that tries to block in-app trackers. Adblocking is more a browser thing but the preinstalled browser does have it (although I use uBlock on Fennec, a Firefox fork). Theres really not that much to learn most things just work. The only thing you need to know is that some apps that rely heavily on Google Play Services might not work properly. For example Google Maps does not work (but the Webapp does or you can just use CoMaps or Osmand, something OpenStreetMap based). Generally I found the switch to be pretty easy. My banking apps all worked fine but I’ve heard some people have trouble with theirs. The App Launcher is kind of iOS inspired but I didn’t like it that much so I just swapped it out with Kvaerisito.

Thats why flatpaks exist for those kind of apps and sandboxes are very much possible on linux (even if not widely used for normal programs)

Yeah, it won’t affect you really. /e/OS is based off of AOSP and Lineage and the devs can just choose to keep it like it currently is. I haven’t really found a source for it but since theres like no official play store, and the lineage community would just patch out whatever google introduces (If this even reaches AOSP) I don’t think this will ever bother neither of us. The real threat comes from FOSS projects dying bc most Android users still use proprietary android

Thank god I run /e/OS. I just hope this won’t hurt the popularity of sideloaded apps too much, as this might mean FOSS apps becoming stagnant because they don’t receive as much attention anymore

Ofc you frame it that way. Most people on here are just against banning things where there’s A, no victims and B, no real way to determine age. You’d have to ban drawings the same way if the characters appear childlike. How is this enforceable. By the opinion of whoever is looking over something? The article specifically mentions weight and size but I don’t think thats sufficient in itself.

Damn it always seemed just like beta software to me when I used it on my VR headset

They already do that, just not as frequently. They change price tags of items every day by hand

Trumps ban doesn’t go in full effect until a few months from now on AFAIK

Just buy ebooks from sites that don’t fucking you over in the future. If you already have a kindle its annoying but pocketbooks and other eReaders are right there.

They probably have been working on a potential agreement with openai for a while now. They just hastily finished it in response to anthropic. But I don’t know if they will keep the red lines anthropic has demanded in place

Good luck trying to strongarm foss. Forks and backups included. Also making all linux servers illegal. This will totally not be circumvented. Get lost with your law. Let the parents do the parenting instead of overreaching on mass surveillance and trying to end any form of online anonymity.

No not really. They’ll just find another company who will build them machines that kill without human intervention.

Oh I actually just switched it up accidentally while typing. I read it right but still almost one out of three doesn’t get it
