We’re talking about how the ability for the public to use strong encryption is contingent on laws allowing that. Normies won’t start using PGP. Normies will use whatever popular app their friends are on. Those apps can have their encryption

I would like to introduce you to rubber hose cryptography.

It’s not. This is a political problem, not a technical one.

The maintainer of this package can stop whenever they want. They can stop dealing with bugs unrelated to their own use case (android) whenever they feel like it.

The cookie banner effectively makes this article unreadable. On mobile it takes us >80% of the screen. The only button on it is “accept all cookies”. If you want to disable some you have to follow a link, and the choices there don’t save

The pixel 10 is different trade off. Base pixel is cheaper than base iPhone and has an extra camera, upgrading it to 256 gets you slightly more expensive. And for the pro models it flips with the pixel cheaper even with same storage.

If you want another big bump in image quality I recommend you use Adobe’s Project Indigo app instead of the default camera app. Difference is especially startling for HDR and portraits, particularly backlight ones where the stock app does s

Honestly it should be how all apps work. I hate that I can’t deny Internet access to any app.

For starters we have cancelling and ripping up clean energy projects, introducing serious uncertainty about tarrifs, increasing unease for any immigrant (and even non-white citizens).

Why not also provide a way to deny all network access to the app? Then there’s nothing it can do with any data of gets.

by _aavaa_ 1y ago
How did you encrypt the data at rest and why was that also not good for the backup?

by _aavaa_ 1y ago
That only works on android. The same basic functionally, even backing up to a place on the phone, has been missing.

The analogy is incorrect though. There is economies of scale for creating the thing, and then the economies of scale for the thing making electricity. You can make nuclear reactors smaller under the assumption that you’ll be able to make th

A backup option has been missing for years. Future plans on this particular topic seem to take forever.

Yeah, but whose JVM are they running on? I’d be surprised if they’re all paying the lawnmower.

While that’s technically true it’s not true about the current type of advertising. The ads we see online now (and the tracking that goes with it) are what, 20 years old? The type of marketing and advertising we live with now is a direct des

Buy, maybe not. Not buy, absolutely. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a quaint phrase probably from when all books looked the same. But if the title and cover don’t convey what the contents are about, someone who may have liked it won

You argue that they have no incentive to look through all the apps submitted to other app stores. I disagree with this premise. And even if it were true, it is not a counter argument to my assertion that Apple has complete control over what

A) that’s simply untrue. Solar panels and wind turbines don’t use up the land. You can grow crops and graze under the panels and the wind turbine is mostly in the sky. B) solar panels and wind turbines tend not to spill toxic waste into the

Or, hear me out, they don’t need to buy as much since they are producing more electricity themselves with their renewables.

How can a storefront compete on fees if apple can wake up one day and tell the other storefronts “none of your apps are available for sale anymore”.
