Jfc, the apps scammers usually use are on the fucking play store. Good fucking dammit this is stupid.

UWP ≠ Electron. UWP is a new environment inside of Windows with new APIs, but AFAIK is still native or at least much closer to it than electron.

I mean, it’s not like Amnesty Internation regularly criticizes the US, especially in the current situation. But oh, it said something against the CCP, I guess it must be bad.

Shit, you blew my cover!!! Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck what am I going to do with my life 😭😭😭

Unfortunately, EU laws mean that they have to let companies bid on contracts, so their influence on who they deal with is somewhat limited.

TACO in 3, 2, 1…

For fuck’s sake.

What are parental controls?

Unfortunately not only a problem in schools. Where I work at there’s already a pay per use system that bills the department, with an entire system with separate codes to identify where you belong financially. Now they’re debating adding a fee for the ability to print.

I tried to find the article on it, but it was a while ago that I read, so I honestly don’t know 100%…

But I doubt it would be illegal, as a company they’re not small enough to fly under the radar and not big enough to flagrantly break laws and get away with it. Two possibilities that come to mind (and both may be true:

• they did it via black box reverse engineering. That has less issues legally, since you’re not trying to decompile someone else’s code, but looking what that code does and trying to recreate it

• the Linux Kernel’s GPL gives them certain rights in that area

Yes and no, Fairphone has actually managed to reverse engineer some of the drivers for its old phones to provide android upgrades years after the component manufacturers have dropped support. The Fairphone 2, for instance, received a little over 7 years of support and 4 major version upgrades, skipping one on the way. For the Fairphone 5, they’ve promised 10 years of software support, and judging by their track record, I believe them. They also open source as much as they can and even give instructions on how to build the OS yourself.

Of course, open source drivers would be better, but that doesn’t exist at the moment, unfortunately. At this point, Fairphone is one of the companies that comes closest (with Shiftphone being a close rival).

That’s not the point. Trump is known to use the law to intimidate, even if he loses.

I swapped it out because it wasn’t working on my end, either (I think the site didn’t like me linking to the picture

Oh god, they literally have one of those simpleshow videos in a Wikipedia article…

What I’ve never understood is the difficulty with blood pressure, as in you don’t have gravity pulling the blood down to the nether regions, making it hard to keep an erection. But how is that any different from when you’re lying down?

I mean, I really don’t see the problem here. So they move somewhere else. That costs money. And generally you’re hiring lower class workers. So… There’s still money being transferred down.

all the modern features I want

What are those? Because the difference between midrange and top of the line has been shrinking from year to year.

the best processor

What do you do with your phone that needs the best processor? Maybe you have some special use case, but the vast majority of people don’t need the best processor - often that’s a case of chasing the shiny new thing.

There’s always Fairphone and Shiftphone if you’re living in the EU. Not cutting edge, but should be more than good enough for most people. (Oh, and my Fairphone 5 is honestly built like a tank.)

Even slower than Windows 10? That’s impressive…

The title of this post is wrong. Nowhere does it say in the articles that this was caused by Karoline Leavitt’s brother. I’m not saying that it’s definitely not the case, but right now there’s no evidence for it.

Come on, can we please not stoop to their level when it comes to spreading misinformation?
