Have you checked out F-Droid lately, and how does this compare to Apple or Microsoft?

Google never said their phone support is for login issues and makes it clear you need to login for support, and the op (who is using a throway) said they didn't remember using a mobile number when signing up so it sounds like the probl

They don't remember, which is probably how they got themselves into this mess, which everyone else uses as an opportunity to share their Google hate and call for regulation.

I have a G Suite account and GCP account that I barely spend, and I've always had an excellent experience with their support as long as they could solve the problem. The only time I grew frustrated had to do with Google Music and their

Android is one of Google's core products, as well as web (including Chromium).

Because those companies are ignored while everyone jumps aboard the Google hate train, and if anything is going to be done to fix it then those changes need to be applied equally to all companies at the same time. Otherwise it does more har

Yes if you compare the code base size and the core components. Microsoft still hasn't open sourced it's main consumer operating system and neither has Apple.

> So, whenever Google is mentioned in more tech-savvy communities like those that support Linux and FOSS, its name usually makes people shudder. Even so, it is impossible to deny the work that Google has done on making open-source softwa

Android, Chromium and Kubernetes have come a long way. Plus there are a lot of other major open source projects that come out of Google. Way more than Microsoft, Apple and Amazon.

by techntoke 6y ago
The same could be said for Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, etc. At least Google open sources their operating system, browser and are mostly responsible for Kubernetes. If people are going to have such high expectations of one company why do they

They should start by open sourcing the operating system.

Trump is saying he is likely going to issue an executive order to extend unemployment due to national security. You don't think he would do the same for TikTok, especially when all these underage and often preteen kids data is being se

There is this thing called the scene and verification files.

The sooner that these cloud companies work to create a common open API the more secure and better off we'll all be. The idea of spending so much time being specialized for a particular cloud provider is stupid, when you've built y

I'd start the questioning like this... "On an average day how many kids under 13 do you think join TikTok without their parents knowledge?" "On an average day, how many teens under 18 and preteens dance in a manner that

A lot of websites are now generated using static site generators and it is much easier doing so inline, than have to duplicate the content which also makes the pages much bigger. Like I said the issue is more about lack of transparency abou

I think their choice of JSON-LD as the recommended format and not being transparent in how it effects results is the biggest issue. JSON-LD requires duplication of content, where as microdata is inline with existing content.

Does anyone remember when Trump bombed Syria while hosting Xi, and then bragged about how beautiful the chocolate cake was?

Anyone else switched entirely to Tekton or another CI/CD platform because GitLab feels like a bloated monolith and too centralized at this point?

Right!?! Legalizing drugs would solve a lot of issues and let people actually address and talk about the real problems which is often mental health, however there are a lot of things like mushrooms and LSD that may cause people to "wak

Did 1Password pass an audit for Linux? I now use pass so I don't have to worry about it anymore. I trust GPG and Ed25519.

by techntoke 6y ago
So I can cat the file system API directly from Linux?

by techntoke 6y ago
Enpass is a really nice password app that works on Linux, and allows you to sync with various cloud providers. I have since switched to Password Store though which is open source and uses GPG for encryption, so you can pick your own algorit

Same here. My biggest concern right now is with the third party browser extensions.
29.
by techntoke 6y ago
We need a file system API for databases, much like /proc.

by techntoke 6y ago
Yes, however in cases like that an app store that only distributes officially signed packages and does some scanning as well as allows community to report issues should handle issues for packages that aren't open source. Nothing stoppi
