Yp, similarly how gambling and smoking restrictions aren't popular among gamblers and smokers.

They really aren't.

Many US states are richer than Switzerland, what's their excuse?
484.
by izacus 7mo ago
They did. This is why Graphene works.

That device is a personal ID card with a chip. Many EU countries issue them.

What do you add to humanity with this crappy take? Why are you shitty to the victim?

Yeah, randomly calling software that you don't like "malware" isn't making a strong case you think it does. Or helps in this discussion.

I agree about the part where apps shouldn't be able to see whether the OS is trusted. But to remove that incentive you first need to stop punishing app companies for compromised user OSes from legal perspective. Are you willing to abso

Sorry but this is nonsense - most users, even the Linux toting power users - don't have the time, ability or knowledge to verify the contents of their OS in a way that would catch issues prevented by attestation. The problem with modif

It's obviously a tongue in cheek comment sir.

A typical user experience is Ubuntu/Fedora with Auto Updates from repos enabled.
492.
by izacus 7mo ago
Yes, but that was never really a default. Even DOS software came with installers and messed with AUTEXEC.

> I am old, but I miss the days when the install process was copy . to /<appFolder> and the uninstall process was delete /<appFolder> I don't remember this ever being the case, even in times of DOS.

The automatic updates most distros have enabled by default. Signal desktop outright stops working if you don't constantly pull updates from them.

You seem to be hiding behind this "like" while writing into comments about Proton - making accusations and theories that imply it's Proton that actually does that.
496.
by izacus 7mo ago
I'd like to see any kind of evidence that there's any substance of in these accusations of services not actually being private - not just theoretical theorycrafting about mechanisms. And how does that compare to other services we

What do you mean by "excuse"? What kind of excuse would a company need to comply with the law of it's government?!

by izacus 7mo ago
That's not evidence, that's conjecture again. Is there evidence that this kind of client push is actually used to extract data in these projects?

by izacus 7mo ago
Yes, it's terrible and something even Windows handles better. It's one of those utterly bizarre Apple things which make me wonder which old product guy has dirt on everyone else at the company.

Optimizing the OS won't do anything about shrinking sales when the spec sheet changes.

by izacus 7mo ago
It's literally the law to have that feature for decade(s) now, whats going on in this conversation?

by izacus 7mo ago
Which ones were that?

F-Droid is so irrelevant that it doesn't even begin being targeted by supply chain and scam attacks. Being obscure always help with this, but pretending that it's the same threat model is absolutely false.
504.
by izacus 7mo ago
You "saying it" doesn't make it true.
505.
by izacus 7mo ago
Is it because Android literally has billions of users across the world.
506.
by izacus 7mo ago
Significantly larger than the number of users wanting to sideload. There are millions of people affected by targeted scams every year, significantly outnumbering the non-developer sideload community. Especially when you take into account th

Are you really unable to comprehend just how small of a userbase F-droid represents for Android ecosystem?

by izacus 7mo ago
You're on to something, aren't you? Like... Maybe manufacturing isn't the end all?

by izacus 7mo ago
What you propose is totalitarian and not democratic.

Which again work on a model of a single entity having all the curation power.
