Oh look, stock roms on phones with an unlocked bootloader also allow root access.

Even with a custom rom you still have to approve a native popup for each individual app update.

Yes. I'm aware. I still think you're blowing it way out of proportion. Show me someone who is aware of FDroid who doesn't have the technical know how to update apps after sideloading FDroid itself...

What's anticompetitive is not allowing another app or app store to be sideloaded at all. Quit being disingenuous.

Had a deathstar before the drives were known to be widely failing. Decided one day to consolidate my backups from CDR to DVDR. Copied CDRs, deduped the contents and could fit about 15 CDRs worth onto one DVDR. Satisfied, I cut the CDRs and

To be fair, a fan takes away from potential heatsink space and eliminates contact from heatsink to shell. A fan based cooling system can actually be worse than a fanless setup... especially if they're the Macbooks with constrained inta

I use BitWarden and have come to prefer something about BitWarden that initially irked me coming from LastPass. There is no icon in any of the fields to click to populate them. There is no auto filling. You have to cursor into the field, ri

Knowing people who work with others in accessibility, the discussion tends to be that Android and iOS are more or less on par... with Android having the edge in customization and iOS having the edge in consistency. So pretty much the same f

And Christel Dahlskjaer was (still is, the CCO) an employee of Lee's company, Private Internet Access, when she sold Freenode Networks to Freenode Limited. It wasn't hers to sell, even in her capacity of head of Freenode Staff at

It doesn't. It's the desperate actions of an entitled child. Lee was never fit to run an IRC network and now everyone can see how.

They also nuked private channels that were being used for Wikimedia and Wikipedia's editor communications. This is less about enforcing policy and more about angry, petty grievances.

Every channel on Freenode that mentioned 'libera' in any capacity has been joined by a bot, had the topic renamed, ownership removed, all users deopped/unvoiced and all bans cleared. Something that was against Freenode policy

The core of it is simply that the person who was head of Freenode staff at the time (an employee of Lee's, also) sold something to Lee that was not hers to sell. After promises from Lee to not interfere, the staff later found out this
