Presumably they subsidise the good conditions, few but high quality releases etc with the Steam store, which does set them apart from most studios.

How would that work for things like films or music when it genuinely is a group of people making something? I agree that copyright is way, way too long and should be a fixed length, but there's definitely a use in corporations being ab

As someone from outside the US, I had only heard of coaster brakes from this article. As a child all my bikes had rim brakes and now my bike has hydraulic discs, coaster breaks seem very strange to me.

I use Auxio from F-Droid. It's quite simple (which to me is a benefit) and my only real complaint is how similar shuffle on and off look on Android Auto. It handles non ASCII titles correctly where some others didn't (from what I

I wonder how this is treated in terms of consent (at least from a GDPR perspective in the EU), even if I gave my data to Spirit, I did not consent to it being shared with Google unless they explicitly said they would share it with that part

Coming from Rust anyway (can't say I'm familiar with Go), nothing about having it as a trait would pollute the method set, traits don't have to have methods (e.g. pin, unpin, send, sync, etc.). Yes a zero length field can be

On desktop they're same as HN, on mobile click the number in the bubble on the far right hand side.

The lack of mudguard wouldn't be an issue, almost no mountain bikers fit them to their bikes. There may well be enough space in the frame without a bottle cage to attach it given it's incompatible with full sus bikes anyway, so th

I'd be quite worried about breaking it in the not unlikely event of a crash, additionally it looks like it could quite significantly limit how low you could put your seat down on a mountain bike, so that would get in the way. Even if y

Confusingly the proper term for England, Scotland, Wales, and NI is country individually, the UK is a country of countries. They should probably be called states but they never have been, I'd pretty much always assume when someone says

I've come to the conclusion that I actually really like Android as an operating system, the internals seem remarkably well thought out and ideal for the mobile use case (so long as you're running a userdebug build with the ability

Pretty much, my car doesn't have navigation built in but supports android auto. I've tried a phone mount before but the experience is so much worse when it's not integrated with the car (volume of announcements and music can&

AOSP allows the internet permission to be denied per app (hence LineageOS and Graphene exposing it), it's just most OEMs ROMs don't expose it, you can draw your own conclusions from that.

For me to fully drop google someone needs to create something compatible with Android Auto in my car, it doesn't sound like a big deal but that's a big enough thing for me to need it now.

It also solves the issue of potentially not knowing when the author died, with a fixed period (the number isn't so important imo so long as it's sane), a work is out of copyright x years after the first known copy was published.

Don't underestimate the argument of "just to be on the safe side". Someone running a business who doesn't know a lot about cookies will often just put a banner on as an easy arse covering mechanism even when not required

I gave up on it years ago when they killed off 3rd party clients, I have to say it doesn't seem like I've been missing much. The rare occasion I do need to see something on it, it's just full of deleted accounts and comments.

Could this be used to unlock bootloaders on typically non unlockable phones? If so this could be one of the best things to happen to Android.

I'm trying to use lineage at the minute, but xiaomi has made it next to impossible to even unlock the bootloader on my phone, and even then I'd likely need to move at least one of my banks as I seem to remember it not working on l

I'd personally rather have E2EE and periodically back things up to an encrypted hard drive so any losses aren't catastrophic, but I am probably more cynical than most in my trust of companies/other people with my data and am

Thr one solution I see to that is sponsorships, the number I've heard is they typically pay 10x the ad revenue of a video, and this wouldn't be affected by the platform, just the viewership numbers.

The starter motor turns the engine in a defined direction, this acts as a turning force directly on the crankshaft so it doesn't matter where the crankshaft is. The pistons only start firing after the crankshaft is already moving. It i

AOSP has network as a regular permission for apps, so on Lineage at least (idk about Graphene as I haven't used it) you can disable network for any app including google play services etc. I have no idea why most phone companies remove

The PKGBUILD files specified npm as a dependency, so it would've been installed prior to installing the malicious file, so not having npm is by no means a guarantee.

by reorder9695 4mo ago
To be fair in this case it looks like npm was used as a way to run arbitrary code in a way that wouldn't look out of place immediately in a PKGBUILD file. All of this could have been done from within the install hook or anywhere else r

Tools exist (e.g. pkgctl) to allow you to test building and installing the package on a clean image to catch these kinds of things, maintainers should really be using these before publishing.

In my experience as someone who rides a bike with hydraulic disc brakes and drives frequently, they really don't stop very quickly. I pretty much always am more confident I can stop my car faster. The bike may have a lot less mass but

You say it requires a little acclimatisation, but the caller may well just not know anyone with that specific accent/have never had the chance to acclimatise to it other than this phone call, there's an awful lot of accents in the
