This does not reflect my own lived experience. But if true, that means that Google can choose to not provide you a recovery service, which is functionally the same as them not having it.

It's a lot easier to be locked out with a passkey than without one.

Very neat! I hope we'll see more of this kind of work. Most games are well-behaved enough to simply run in Dosbox, an emulator, or through Wine, but there are a few tough nuts there that either need a very specific config, or just actu

Probably not. The magnetic strip was easy to explain (it contains some info the terminal checks, it's functionally just a long password), but it's also pretty easy to explain why skimming was a problem. Explaining how chips fixed

I'm convinced Android being open source is just an accident of history. It's been somewhat useful for Google to be able to ride on that goodwill, but they're not actually invested in open source beyond the ways it directly be

There are too many websites where this is broken for me (even with Firefox's built-in password fill) to go as far as to never copy-paste passwords. If web devs actually implemented it consistently, I might be that draconian about it, b

That solutions like tabs should be the responsibility of the terminal emulator you're using, and not the greater OS.

by Telaneo 10d ago
Christ. On some level, this is probably something your terminal emulator should handle, just as your web browser should handle a mess of 22 tabs, but I don't think we've really come up with good solutions there either. It's h

I'm stuck trying to figure out what new stuff they could add. Sidecar was neat, but I never need it. I'm very happy on Cinnamon on Linux, which is probably less featured than KDE (haven't daily driven it to confirm), which ju

I have a feeling this is supposed to be mocking and showing that the liability might extend too far. Either way, I agree with the literal interpretation. They should vet the ads they serve and are complicit in this mess if they serve ads t

We need strict liability on this front. Google is complicit. No newspaper or equivalent publication in the days before web ads would allow ads that are down at the level of scam that seemingly make up the modus operandi of Google today (and

Simple. Fairphone doesn't want GOS. Forking GOS and porting it to a new device is a huge and unreasonable ask for an individual user. Even less so when you include the fact that you'll need to keep it up to date.

by Telaneo 15d ago
It's because Fairphone doesn't fulfil GOS's hardware requirements. If Fairphone addresses that, there's no reason for GOS to not support a Fairphone device.
