As this is an LTS, that means another 2 years with the old version, and having to support the old version of MATE until 2036? That's... A long time.

I've rewritten a python tool in go, 1:1. And that turned something that was so slow that it was basically a toy, into something so fast that it became not just usable, but an essential asset. Later on I also changed some of the algorit

LineageOS alone has around 4 million active users. So malicious use is at most 1:4, not 5:1.

Do you check in binaries into your git history? If so, you should mark a commit as generated, and the commit message (plus repository state) should be enough to recreate it 1:1. Similarly, if I use e.g. jextract or uniffi to generate Java i

If I copy a clean solution from stackoverflow, I put it into a separate file with the appropriate license header. IMO that's the absolute minimum degree of separation that any imported code, whether from StackOverflow or AI, should hav

The German regulation is also really interesting: Jaywalking is only illegal if there's a crossing less than 50m away. (And even then it's only a misdemeanor, not a crime). That also means that city planners have to balance betwee

Google already knows whether an app is being installed from an app store, such as fdroid, or not. Just like they allow installing apps from the Play Store without the 24h verification, they should allow installing apps from F-Droid or the E

That's sadly the only reliable way to do this, I actually solved it the same way last year: https://github.com/justjanne/brother-client

KDE actually had it for many years, until Gnome pushed for CSDs, and with (at the time) CSD-only wayland that feature disappeared.

"security reasons" is such a vague phrase that just means "because some people are unable to use it correctly, no one can have it". That's only okay if it's a danger to others.

The operator decides which apps can interact with a given esim. Wasn't this supposed to be a general purpose computer? Why can a service decide which apps I can use to access which features of my own device?

That highlighted phrase "everything is a remix" was for a good reason, there's a documentary of that same name, and I can certainly recommend it. At the same time, there are things that are truly novel, even if the idea is ba

If only 5-10 people have ever tried to solve something in programming, every LLM will start regurgitating your own decade-old attempt again and again, sometimes even with the exact comments you wrote back then (good to know it trained on my

Supposedly it requires additional workarounds to run in safe mode, and doesn't work if the NVMe drive is attached to a RAID controller (whether that's in use or not). I also wonder whether this feature will be locked to server and

I used to have an extremely cheap phone plan that had 500MB data, then 64kbps for the rest of the month. You'd be surprised how far you can get with that. IRC works just fine (as long as you use Quassel w/ Quasseldroid), HN works

Unless you need to leave the rear seats when the electronic door openers don't work anymore. It's possible the parent was referring to that, which is to be fair not just a Tesla issue, but Tesla is probably the most extreme exampl

But they're not. They're actually sending each signature to Google and asking whether that's been verified anyway.

If one verified app can install many unverified apps, either aurora droid or fdroid basic or one of the many other frontends would end up offering that feature quickly. But there's been some comments that even that wouldn't be pos

Re: Yellowdot, have you considered setting a LUT to the display that maps the color of the recording dot to black, then setting a LUT to every other window that maps the same color to a nearby similar color? Not a macOS user, but I feel lik

But that doesn't guarantee anything? Even if the official banking app requires tons of verification, that doesn't prevent me from modding their banking app and redistributing the modded version to up to 20 people.

With this change, Android will not just send every app install to Google, but even require approval from Google before allowing app installs.

If I understand correctly, the F-Droid store itself would be possible to install without waiting period, as it's an app from a verified developer. Would apps installed from F-Droid be subject to this process, or would they also be exem

So why can I access my bank account just fine via the website on my phone, but shouldn't be able to do the same via the app? Can't they offer at least a PWA version of the website for custom ROM users?

Most of this thread is already exploring the consumer perspective, and as the previous poster said they couldn't talk about the professional perspective, I chose to only focus on the production/broadcast angle in my comment.
