EU is already 40% better than US, so why exactly are you implying it's worse?

What a bizarre thing to say - is that your attempt to discredit anyone that complains about wrongdoing? "Everybody's enraged, why don't you like this unethical thing being done to you by a company?" What's going on

Most of those are webapps too (just packaged in APK) since it doesn't make sense for most app developers to build a special bespoke version for Android. If you check YouTube version string you'll see Cobalt as well on Android.

Yeah, same here, but that's the reason why others aren't seeing it :)

Those ad breaks only appear if you opt out of personalized tracking. They're a punishment for you because you won't let them collect data. FB app does that too.

Same way it works for everything else. They sell their performance and then they make something else.

You keep making up strwamen and positions that don't exist. Maybe mock something people have actually said.

Not really - this is akin to doing a complete rewrite of your 30 year old codebase to Rust. Every organization has their own hacks, bespoke tools, processes and hardware that has to be painstakingly replaced, reprogrammed and users retraine

That explanation doesn't pass a sniff test if you even try to Google anything about car manufacturer data collection practices.

79% of car buyers explicitly said they won't buy a car without carplay: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/22/apple-carplay-could-be-a-tro... So the numbers check out and there's no need for you to find t

> And this disparaging language about commenters is not OK. Please stop. Nothing about that statement is disparaging - just because you don't want to hear it, doesn't make it insulting. Calling out nonsense is important, especi

There is no "applause" in my post - please learn to read before you take up your bigcorp defender shield and think for a second why you're fighting against your own benefit.

And Linux support on M Macs would also have a "real job", what is your point exactly? I find it so bizarre that some of you here are defending a megacorporation that could have easily afforded to provide drivers for Linux Kernel l

Apple could contribute as well, like Intel does for their Thunderbolt controllers. Why are you demanding a user does that for free instead of the big corp that made the platform?

> I don’t think many people realize how easily Apple could have locked down the laptop to be able to not run any alternate OS at all and the number of lost sales would be so negligibly small as to not matter. They chose to leave it open.

That's just plainly false.

No, they mean customized SoCs which what those chips are as well

I think you should listen to bringup of Linux on Playstation talk from CCC to understand that those platforms are much more than just "somewhat customized". There are whole sections of peripheral chips missing and they behave quit

This is about a WiFi client - on WiFi networks the AP station chooses frequency and manufacturers/driver writers fuck up legal frequency lists and regulatory codes all the time.

Moving the goalposts to "it's not their fault that it doesn't work" doesn't really change it doesn't work.

There's quite a list you can get even from GrapheneOS's posts - among other things, there's a rather large set of apps that will outright crash when MTE is enabled.

Where are you gonna go when everyone has them?

Actually functionality, stability of apps and features people use.

by izacus 14d ago
99.9% od the code GrapheneOS uses and 100% of hardware (including one like Titan security chip handling storage encryption and key store) is from Google. So what are you on about man - it's easy to take someone else's work and put

You mean they pay for the video storage, video streaming bandwidth, transcode CPU and serving the videos with ads on their content.

That's just absolute nonsense, where do you get these kind of ideas? Just because you don't have monopoly on your stupid ideas, you don't get to hire Pinkerton's to beat others.
