Native desktop version.

smileyhead ,

First being able to use the service first-class on the desktop without registering with phone app first. Second is using native desktop technologies for the app, as Signal currently uses Electron so it is basically a website running in separate Chromium web browser without tabs.

smileyhead ,

Both are great for chat! End of debate.

smileyhead ,

RCS is still not available for Android. For now proprietary Google Messages is required to connect Google proxied RCS servers.

And I would be suprisied if this won’t stay that way.

smileyhead ,

Signal wants to provide updates themselfs to make sure they are fast in case of big security bug. F-Droid can lag behind to provide new version of app.

But they should at least provide F-Droid repo.

TU/e coordinates EU project to push next-generation private and secure online payments (www.tue.nl)

A new online payment system that is socially, ecologically, and fiscally responsible, to make finance easy for common people. That’s the aim of the Next Generation Internet pilot named NGI TALER. This project, coordinated by the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), is operated by a consortium of eleven partners from...

So, opposed to cash the government can still view all transactions but the corporations can’t. This would be an improvement over card payments in terms of privacy, but it’s still worse than cash.

If I understand correctly, goverement would see when you cash out money to Taler Wallet, but now what you buy then. But I do not know the protocol internal work.

smileyhead ,

The merchant would know via form filled on checkout, just like it is done today. Payer can also create a cryptographic proof of payment. But there still would be a benefit of payment processor itself not knowing what you bought.

smileyhead ,

So be it. I don’t understand why there is so much debate around such simple setting.

Gen Z boys and men more likely than baby boomers to believe feminism harmful, says poll (www.theguardian.com)

Boys and men from generation Z are more likely than older baby boomers to believe that feminism has done more harm than good, according to research that shows a “real risk of fractious division among this coming generation”....

It won’t change as woman in literally in feminism name. The proper word is egalitarianism.

smileyhead ,

Everyone who doesn’t accept this is toxic!

smileyhead ,

Feminism is not needed in places or situations where rights and treatment are equal. I live in a country when genders have equal rights. The only thing that makes gender unequal are people treating woman better because they thing society threat them worse.

smileyhead ,

Egalitarianism is saying about all lifes being treated equally by default regardless of gender, race. It does not say if any life matters or not, here you can add another terms.

It’s basically a base on which you can build. Feminism on the other hand is specifically targettet at woman’s problems and social inequalities, not saying it’s a bad move, just that it won’t ever mean equality overall. It is a subset of egalitarianism and also it will be much easier for feminist to also become egalitatian or the other way around.

Spoiler: it’s “just” a display. Bacteria are not doing any calculations. Unlike the crab computer.

Install this proprietary app from Google Play or App Store on your Google Android or Apple iPhone certified device to access your stored memories.

smileyhead ,

I want to Tickle Tickle those feet ^_^

smileyhead ,

There is some open core, but system you recieve in the end device is going to be totally locked and without source code to see. The only component with available source will be Linux kernel, because of it’s user-friendly copyleft licence, but it is so much modified even on Android it’s basically useless.

smileyhead ,

Propably when Google allows Android apps to access modem-level RCS message sending. Right now Google Messages do everything via Google’s some sort of a proxy server.

A whole lot of mess just like always when phone operators do anything.

Imagine how cool it could be if every mobile provider would just provide data and free XMPP account with autoconfigure instead of RCS or VoLTE crap.

smileyhead ,

But the whole regulation was not about installing an app outside of the App Store icon, but outside Apple. To free the market of apps, such that the manufacturer is not the only one deciding what app you can install.

It’s like BMW would say you can equip tires different than from BMW store, but those other stores still must give them a fee.

smileyhead ,

And since they almost force using a Mac to develop such app.

smileyhead ,

HTTP is all you need 👍

smileyhead ,

Yes, LibreWolf is basically just Firefox with tweaked default settings.

Imagine a book store in which you pay for a book, then the book stays on the shelf in their shop, but they have in database that you can rent it whenever you want from them. How is this ownership?

smileyhead ,

Telling you have CDs collection of music is giving even more weird reactions.

smileyhead ,

Yes. Girl does not have to be a superstart to send pics on OnlyFans and similar. Fetishes exists, she can show feet and have ugly face.

smileyhead ,

Nope. PinePhone is a developer device to develop standard Linux stack on mobile.

smileyhead ,

Other things that it also has. Android is fine if just looking for installing an app without Google/Apple approval.

smileyhead ,

It is Android based, literally have Google Play on their screenshots.

smileyhead ,

After diving every buyer stress for over a year.

smileyhead ,

They protect user’s choice to choice not having a choice.

smileyhead ,

Most Android components can technically be FOSS, but the it’s monolythic nature makes it very hard to get from those FOSS benefits. Best example is TV using Android, phone using Android, but cannot change the interface without hacking half-baked thing like custom ROM.

smileyhead ,

You cannot make a paper that can have any text written onto, but not the one text you don’t like. The only way to do it is to spy on someone and check actively what is being written.

You cannot make a computer that can run any program written into, but not the one program you don’t like. The only way to do it is to spy on someone eather physically or via lower level spyware.

smileyhead ,

Game studio wanting to protect game from cheaters, even by extreme maybe unmoral ways is far more propable than worldwide conspiracy.

smileyhead ,

Nope, this is mathematically impossible. See what is Turing completeness, any complete programmable system, like any programming language can simulate any other language and system. You can run Windows on Minecraft redstone or spaceship program on a smartwarch as they are Turing complete systems. Only roadblock is time to port it and slow execution.

The only way someone can get close is to nerf the whole system by allowing only a single program to run. This is how secure boot works, it looks at what you run and say “sorry Dave” if it’s not signed. But if this signed program is also complete, like operating systems are, you still can run things on top of it :#. It’s complicated, but TLDR there is no way to say “can run anything - 1”, only “can run X number of programs” and there’ll never be.

May I ask what’s unmodern about Migadu? Their fast and readable UI is the reason I use them.

Smart TV: Runs Android Smartphone: Runs Android

Oh, so can I install Android TV interface to repurpose my phone as TV box?

Google and capitalism: No!

Also why I’m looking forward at Linux phones in the future.

smileyhead ,

Torrent? PeerTube?

For paid options I see no sense in decentralization. But a standard protocol for rental tied with some protocol for payments (like GNU Taler) to rent movies from any source with one tap and no install would be cool.

smileyhead ,

Until they put everything onto the same domain

smileyhead ,

No no no. You can replace whole OS sometimes, some phones can also do it but in much more hacky way than SBCs. But what I mean is that you cannot replace the interface. Almost all highly corporate operating systems have their interfaces “welded” in place.

Stop running code you don’t trust?

Edit: Trusting a program does not nessesarly mean checking every single line of code by yourself 😮‍💨

smileyhead ,

There are no cookie banners, at least not nessesary ones. There is just a consent requirement for processing personal data.

smileyhead ,

This is a misconception many sites fall into. They really do not have to ask for just cookies, it’s like there were asking to use CSS or JavaScript :).

smileyhead ,

Similiar reasons why using files when you can just use Google Docs and save links.

smileyhead ,

Okey, so Apple would have to make client apps to those services by themselfs… Oops! All proprietary.

smileyhead ,

Or iOS compatibility. But every layer of software stack is making every app less capable for hardware specific functions.

smileyhead ,

People who fall asleep to cozly tied up anime characters pictures 👈

smileyhead ,

In EU law you do not have to ask for consent about storing preferences. Just for processing personal data, including IP address. So if they would not process personal data, everything would be fine.
