I believe the permissions are more granular now but I didn't look into it in detail. See: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Android_Compatibility#Permission... , https://sailfishos.org/ (search for secu

> nobody forces you to buy Apple there is a lot of pressure to buy either an iPhone or an official (GooglePlay) Android phone. Most (all) services only support these two options. Also true for public/governmental institutions.

SailfishOS/Jolla is a great option. The problem is, that some important (e.g. banking) apps are missing and cannot be installed/run with the Android emulator. Another problem is, that Sailfish is available only in very few countri

Nice bike/attempt but not many of them in circulation (too expensive, too exposed). Fwiw, pedaling does not provide a large fraction of the needed energy and I don't think the mechanical complication was worth it. Twike is the pas

I stand corrected with them mentioning blur/block in the authentication email (this was not the case earlier). But anyhow, what is for you "some foreign company" and "some hosting" is for them "some customer&qu

There are bad actors. I don't know details but suspect that passport requirements help with deterring them. If Hetzner gets a bad reputation it affects all their customers. Nice that you have options which meet your wishes. But I like

Why wouldn't they reject a ID/passport with some details blacked out? They have proper support lines where one can call and ask. (At least this was so a couple of years ago, no need to call support since then..).

All power to Facebook! I can (and do) block Facebook and be almost not affected with what they do, but iPhones as part of a duopoly cannot be avoided. I like and use Apple hardware but hope that Facebook and Epic rip them into pieces. It&#x

Normally I use Firefox, but as it didn't run well on SailfishX/Android, an alternative was needed. Tried Brave, adapted some settings and this browser runs very well, I can recommend it. And, at least for me, Brave is very useful!

I pointed out such promotions in reviews and never had a rejection. Other than your review I also wrote some sentences about the product. Maybe that makes a difference? In any case it's import that people point out such bad practices.

Offtopic: since theguardian.com kicked out Suzanne Moore in a rather unfriendly way, I don't read this newspaper any more (at least for some time), also no further (small) donations.

SO is fine. On discourse (besides asking questions like on SO) there is also space to e.g. discuss why one feels exhausted, defeated and uninspired after working with Julia. This shouldn't be! And there is certainly a way to "fix

Have you asked on https://discourse.julialang.org/ already? Maybe, hopefully, you can find help there to feel less exhausted. -- It's not an opinion when you e.g. say that precompilation has not been addressed when it

Frustrating that after all those nice world web saving words "only" egoistical overpaid upper management people remain. On the other side, these are likely the people who bring in all the money from Google. Hmm?

You can disable app updates and avoid the update notification by using enterprice policies (sounds complicated but is just a policies.json file).

The opening, coming from a super well paid CEO, pissed me off. I need a good browser, maybe with accompaigned products but no save the internet, racism, bl, etc. Most likely won't ever support Mozilla with such language.

Climate change is hard because nothing easy can be done. We would have to dramatically change our life style, world population would have to decrease. Don't see a "trillion dollar financial interest", it's the lifestyle

Google has not a similar model as Apple, alternative stores are possible. These rotten apple gangsters need to be stopped (by legislation). A huge fine (50 billions) is in order! It's not only about the 30 % extortion fee but also e.

Some years ago this was not possible in fastmail (or I didn't find it;) In addition: if you want to separate the domains, then mailbox/runbox have a low-cost plan (around €15/y, iirc) which doesn't exist in fastmail.

'end' is subjective (I like it). The unicode characters allow to write syntax which is very close to mathematical formulae, this can help a lot with reading/understanding in some situations.
