What would be "really bad" for you? Non-google Android is dead outside of China and you can't realistically distribute software either without a Google stamp. I don't see much difference between Android and iOS in terms

by realusername 1mo ago
Things are really bad already on Android. Most bootloaders are locked, Google prevents you to use the very few unlocked ones through the (legally questionable) Play Integrity. AOSP is basically dead (it doesn't even include a functiona

I do prefer Firefox devtools to Chrome, that's one of the reasons I use it at work. I think both are kind of equivalent nowadays but I find that the Firefox one has a better design and looks more polished

For bots, usually a monopoly just paints a bigger target on your back than custom low scale prevention methods. And Cloudflare is no exception, the "hello world" of bots is Cloudflare bypass.

They aren't, most emission statistics are counting imported emissions. China's figure aren't that great on their own, with exportation deducted.

Those are already included in most statistics

If you can't prove it, you can't prove it both ways. Either everybody gets to use it or nobody does. Especially that the code getting trained on is for the vast majority copyrighted open source software so if anybody has something

That's not going to save them, the model could leak GPL licensed code on output as well, and it's an order of magnitude more likely than leaking internal documents. These large tech companies can't have their cake and eat it

by realusername 2mo ago
That's nonsense, then it would also be somewhat illegal to use it inside Apple, being trained on GPL licensed code (and it's not even a possibility here but a known fact)

They all do that, some are just more honest to tell you upfront than others.

I never stated that I own the intellectual property but I'm stating that I own the device and such, should be able to do any modification I see fit to the device, regardless if the manufacturer thinks it's a good idea or not. And

No, I'm asking these devices to work like normal computers, because that's what they are. Also I doubt that there's anything left on 2015 era hardware that will grant you an edge on current age competitors To give a reply: &g

Personally I don't even read the PR description anymore but just the code, it's easier to understand what the AI is doing by reading the code rather than the word soup it tried to make

I definitely prefer a "fixup" to a three paragraph meaningless word soup which doesn't cover why the commit is there either

I'd call the ones which have a process for verifying actors and following local laws to be good actors
53.
by realusername 2mo ago
That was 100% obvious that would happen, the law will only be followed by good actors and bad actors now have an additional advantage

by realusername 2mo ago
This is not "circumventing regulation" here but nullifying the argument the newspapers had for bringing the law in the first place. They argued that Meta needs them for exposure and that's why they should pay, apparently it&#

Somebody else mentioned here that they also do it on the iOS app and I don't see how Lockdown mode would change anything, it doesn't prevent to play audio.

But I don't want to make replacement API? I'm just expecting these API to be freely available on any OS, you can't seriously say that you will charge for these. It's not an "SDK" but basic OS primitives. I doub

Google has no choice, the moment they stop releasing Android sources, a chinese consortium will just take over and they will lose ownership of Android

by realusername 2mo ago
It still exists yes but Google tightened the screws to make sure it just keeps to be an hobbist project and not a competitor

You can't because a lot of apps check that the phone is controlled by Google with Play Integrity. Google thought about this, don't worry. They learned their lesson after CyanogenMod tried to compete by offering an alternative. Non
