Whenever I find that I need to install something from the Play Store rather than from F-Droid, it fills me with dread, because I'm not confident about what those apps do behind the scenes.

Reminds me of Netscape Navigator adding a popup blocker, but also adding the ability to allowlist sites - so that it could have the Netscape website allowlisted by default.

Just a lower percentage than you'd expect on a Europe-focused topic, is what I was trying to imply :)

Just a heads up that this is being posted late in the European evening here, so that will affect who's commenting.

Ha, that's not an option for me, I'm all in on Firefox. FWIW, just adding debugger; to your code should work on Firefox just like it does on other browsers.

I don't think it's about revenue from clicks; they probably believe that it is what customers want, because those customers click on it. That surely means that they want it.

Ooh that is looking good. It's a shame it's not on Firefox Add-ons yet - hopefully I'll remember to check back later.

Unfortunately the steady background noise of cars I do hear around my house (and thus where I get groceries) mostly comes from the highway. But you're right, in the city centre it's partially this quiet because it's about the

The source is "I heard that somewhere", hence "AFAIK". It kinda matches my experience at least when I get closer to a highway, the noise I hear doesn't sound like engine noise anymore.

That makes sense, thanks for updating my priors!

AFAIK, beyond a certain speed (~25km/h?), EVs make just as much noise as ICEs, since the noise is then mainly generated by the tyres hitting the road. So I'm somewhat sceptical about this claim. Dutch city centres can be really cr

For me, the point is not security, but maintenance. Whenever system upgrades have gone wrong, it's almost always been a partial update, and that just no longer happens. I've found doing work in containers made things straightforwa

And yet it is still vastly more inaccessible and inefficient than other countries where the same holds. There is a lot that could be learned from other countries. So it's good to see that this repo does so.

I'm not saying it won't be a lot of work, and I'm not saying it'll be at feature parity in five years. But I'm saying that we shouldn't assume it'll take as much work/as long as it got Android to get

iodé is available for my device as well, but it looked fairly similar to /e/OS to me (and the latter has an official partnership with my phone's manufacturer). What makes it a better option - should I switch?

So what does this mean? Are they going to ship GrapheneOS by default? Or just making it easier for GrapheneOS to support Motorola phones?
