You're blowing this entirely out of proportion. The vast vast majority of apps work without issue with sandboxed play services. Yes it's less plug and play than a stock os. No it's not a life-ending inconvenience.

If the best case you can make for your position is a retracted statement from over two years ago, consider that perhaps your position is not as strong as you think. Anyway > On Friday 13 October, Israel ordered hospitals and the populati

Seriously. We have type systems and compilers that help us to not forget these things. It's not the 70s anymore!

13 year olds can get groomed and addicted to gambling, be they at home, school, or a bus stop. But God forbid you install an app outside the approved™ app store®, citizen. What a world.

Condemning the 7/Oct attacks as an unacceptable act of terrorism is "being a mouthpiece of Hamas"!!! Fucking _disgusting_, and many stronger words I'm trying my best to contain. We're reaching levels of wretchedness

Irrelevant. I'd prefer laws and the courts to decide punishment for transgressions, rather than the arbitrary whims of a quasi-fascist. I'm old fashioned, I know.

You're grasping at anything to justify the unjustifiable. Not only did I do most (not all, obviously) of those things in my Pentium 3, including video and voice chat, screenshare, and silly animated gifs and rich text formatting, but a

So it means you could save your client 93% of their money in concrete, but you choose to make it 2× more expensive! That only makes my metaphor stronger ahaha.

Any time you pull any code, be it `cargo add` or `apt install` or copy-pasting it in your own code, you become vulnerable to any issues present in that code. I'm unsure what your point is. The claim is just that `cargo add crate` is fu

My Pentium 3 in 2005 could do chat and video calls and play chess and send silly emotes. There is no conceivable user-facing reason why in 20 years the same functionality takes 30× as many resources, only developer-facing reasons. But those

"Unalive" has reached mainstream usage, on account of those inscrutable censors. If that is not the spitting picture of Newspeak I don't know what is.

Honestly, it boils down to capitalism / market pressure. Quality journalism is expensive , compared to the return in the form of the price people are willing to pay for that quality journalism. Clickbait is so profitable, it's li

In 2025 it's decidedly old-fashioned to even think of interfering with the march of the orphan-crushing profit-maximising machine. Each quarter demands a fresh way to rip off people. How quaint even the 90s seem today, and we though
