The sites wouldn't need to get your consent for justifiable usage only. They actively decide they want more than that, they want to sell your data. So it's on them, the law itself is fine.

For pure listening, latency is totally irrelevant as long as the buffers are large enough, and that's a software thing. Heck, one complete audio CD fits uncompressed in one GB of RAM...

How do they think this could be acceptable?

I largely agree. An Impressum/Imprint is however not only needed for explicitly commercial sites, but also for sites that are not purely personal. E.g. just earning some cents with an ad banner on your personal site means you need an i

Nope, you should not speed up. It's a maximum. If others go faster, just ignore them and keep going.

If you want to do anything decentralized, I highly recommend to read all of the scientific papers from the gnunet authors. They theoretically solved a lot of problems a long time ago that modern distributed projects keep repeating. About th

Great. Where can I get a CPU where that stupid Intel ME or AMD crap is just permanently fused off, and even pay less for it?

Great! That's the IMX519 from 2018, same as in the OnePlus 6, and with autofocus, which makes it much better suited for normal photos. And for that price it obsoletes even the standard V2 cam. The IMX477 of the HQ is from 2016, but ha

Both connections would show different emojis on both sides then. So you would need to somehow deep fake the voice of the one telling their emojis to the other one.

Exactly this. Even more: Auto-deleting messages are also that the sender doesn't have to delete them manually. Most people do not understand this. I even had a discussion with an open source chat app implementer who insisted on not imp

No. It cannot. Bitcoin cannot be used, because the rate of transactions is much to low for such an application. Currently its only use is gambling and burning the planet.

Developer time is paid only once. As soon as it is paid, the manufacturer loses out when he is not putting the spyware everywhere he can.

Meat can be easily substituted, so I'd consider that discretionary spending. Furthermore, producing meat consumes many times the plants, than if humans directly consumed those plants. So in an emergency, just stop producing meat and yo

What I mean: I cannot see the app's files, I cannot edit them, I cannot backup the app locally, only by uploading data unencrypted to googles cloud. Adb backup was unreliable in the past, could be switched off by the app against my wil

That's what I believed until I had a direct (online) conversation, which got unpleasant very quickly. Maybe there is a grain of truth in there, but I am more inclined to think it might at least be exaggerated by a lot.

Security cannot exist in vacuum, it always refers to a threat. That security you speak of is the security of apps against "attacks" by the user. This fight should take place on the app's backend, not the user's phone. Th

Single-user mode is clearly not what is happening with root. It's not like any app just can elevate to root, there's always a request requiring authorization, just like account elevation on windows and sudo on Linux. This is not i

"right amount of money" does not mean what it actually costs to write proper drivers, but the amount that Qualcomm expects to earn less when people buy smartphones less often, which is probably much larger.

What are you talking about? Pixel 2 was releases Oct 2017, end of support was Dec 2020. So, about 3 years. Pixel 1 was the same, 3 years. For the later ones, still supported, let's see. Tensor based ones will get at least 5 years.

Unfortunately fractional scaling in wayland is broken to the point where even X works better: For videos in 1.5x scale, the player renders it at 2x and wayland scales it down to 1.5x, costing performance and causing artifacts. In X the vide
