So, the whole xz backdoor saga was merely a figment of my imagination?

Huh, I was honestly expecting something like https://youtube.com/watch?v=dcYlytyuKsc

Feeder works fine with the 1st 2, but the last has no articles (i mean the file the site provides) so it’s hard to check. It can def. add it, tho

I mean, “give access” and “double your bitcoin” are somewhat textbook phrases for scams…

Although, I def. see how one can miss it at first. I remember one bank scam call where the thing that ultimately clued me in was a rather unprofessional response along the lines of “don’t call crying back to us” when I’ve said I’m a bit busy to go check the card or whatever they’ve asked to, while what should’ve done this in the 1st place was another textbooky “have u transfered any funds to Joe Shmoe”. Looking back, would’ve been funy AF to pull the Karen on them 🥲

We have minecrafts on linux. One useful-ish thing that I can think of (and currently use waidroid for) is myscript’s nebo, a handwritten note-taking app with quite good OCR. Since myscript don’t build their SDK for Linux, let alone apps, it’s somewhat the only way currently, I guess… Unless you can run wpf-s via wine somehow?

I don’t really understand the 1st requirement…

allow 3rd-party app stores

So, apparently f-droid/aurora/etc are not allowed or something?

let stores distribute the same stuff gplay does

As in “give 'em a way to pull stuff from gplay and not punish for letting ppl download it”? Mb useful, but the lack of specificity may defend the purpose. Like currently, AFAIK, nobody really prevents ppl from publishing both on gplay and f-droid, for example

The rest lgtm

You can, but why’d you want to platform something on a social network singlehandedly lowering the IQ of the whole IP address block?

I guess it’s the case of аксиома Эскобара, tbh

Looks like here may be your issue: https://github.com/apognu/tuigreet/issues/140

Stable Tuigreet is 0.9.0, which is affected, so if using that, makes sense to pull it from unstable otherwise just update, I guess

Android translation layer is interesting. Well, at least I personally like this approach more than that of waydroid. Also would be nice to see the performance of that with binfmt compared to that of waydroid + libhoudini

No, they’ve definitely been Chinese last time I’ve checked. It’s just that it seems a bit weird to me to distrust software just because it’s Chinese, since foss stuff from china can be trusted as it’s possible to audit it (say, shadowsocks or xray), and proprietary software from outside of china can send your data wherever it’s programmed to (e.g. windows or chrome). Besides, while it’s alleged China could influence Chinese developers to either hand over userdata or backdoor the software, it’s not like other governments can’t, and for an average Joe the consequences are, I suspect, more or less the same

s/owned by a Chinese public company/proprietary/

Although another problem is that it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. Yet another chromium browser with built-in proxies and data collection 🤷

I suspect they’ll need something more tangible to manage that…

Huh, nice to see my initial judgment was incorrect

Given qi2 uses magnets to properly align the coils in the phone and the charger, it should result in generating less heat and overall greater efficiency, so it very well may generate less or the same amount of heat [edit: despite the higher amount of energy transmitted ]… That is, if your phone supports it. But all things considered, it’ll unlikely ever be as efficient, and, hence, warmer than a regular wired charger. I mean, you’re pretty much going ac → dc in the power supply, then dc → ac in the inductive charger, then again ac → dc in the phone itself for no particular reason. That being said, pd also runs quite hot at times, so, IMO, smth like plain old 5v 1amp charger would be more preferable given the use-case

Free as in free beer, not as in freedom. You can technically block undesired (or all) outgoing connections via opensnitch/portmaster, tho.

I’m wondering if those criminals are by chance mentally challenged. A private and “secure” phone with a proprietary “secure” messenger hidden as a calculator app… Doesn’t the word “anom” ring any bells for them?

Idk, vr porn is creepy af. Or at least it used to be 5 yrs ago or so… Imagine a girl so huge one her tit is bigger than your head, for example. So, yeah, I noped out pretty much instantly

Now that’s not creepy at all

They paint themselves as an arrogant and problematic client to deal with.

Huh, apparently they sometimes behave like that with customers as well: https://lemmy.ml/comment/14451901
