Any numbers on exactly how much safer the average user will be? How many scams are we stopping here? I don't know anybody outside of technical people who install apps outside the playstore. And what can a malicious app do exactly? They

Some sort of middle ground should have been found where the unpublished package is still accessible as an archive or something. I'd much rather get my package broken than get hacked

> Google's latest concession makes the sideloading controversy a big nothingburger. It's really not. Try to realise that it's not meant to be Google's phone and they shouldn't be "letting" me do things

Hey Omar! I met you briefly in Grenoble many years ago. I hope you're doing well. I only recently watched this series and found it very entertaining. But I never expected it to be very accurate. It's definitely been dramatized for

We need another os in the market. A duopoly just isn't competitive enough. Too bad the cost of entry is so high.

Yeah if this goes ahead I'm going back to my feature phone

Okay so we just need another company to release a nice phone and release the device tree right?

That's awful. I bought a pixel because the ecosystem around alternative android roms was healthy. This seems to change that. Why can't I just get a general purpose computer in my pocket? Why is everything so hostile? I am willing

I was under the impression that selling anonymised data would also fall under this category. Either way we need more transparency here.

Dumb question but why /do/ browsers move quick? Surely we are nearing feature complete. Is it just the complexity of the task? I'm sure there are lots of awful bugs.

I just want to say thank you for mentioning qutebrowser. I'd never heard of it before and I'm now hooked.

I've written a bit of CUDA before. If I want to go pretty bare-bones, what's the equivalent setup for writing code for my AMD card?

We still need to receive the mail somehow. It's analogous to the post of yesteryear. The issue seems to me that marketing loves to abuse dark patterns and whatnot to sign most people up for a torrent of emails. My partner has thousands

Of course I understand that it's not my money. Weirdly hostile comment. I'm just expressing that the value wasn't quite there for myself. And these projects kept coming out so I wondered if they were the reason for the higher

Yeah like it's fine. I just felt the value wasn't quite there for me personally and I found a few too many projects coming out that didn't benefit me. So I cancelled. No harm done in the end, just a little sad nothing is fill

I cancelled my Kagi subscription because it's a little too expensive for me in the unlimited search tier. And I search too much for the limited search tier. I can't help but wonder if my money was being spent on pet projects like
