It’s only a matter of time before some brilliant dipshit over there manages to envision Windows as a subscription service aimed solely at businesses

I think at least one M365 plan includes a windows license now.

Like anything else, they have their place. But they’ve been shoved into use cases they dont fit as well.

And specifically NYC, not even the state.

I didnt say ‘it’ll never work!!’, I said NYC <> the US. You can’t compare the two and say “See, it works” when he isn’t even elected yet, and its in a city that is absolutely further left than democrats on the national scale.

I would love to see it work. One mayoral hopeful in a friendly city is not a reasonable comparison though.

Edit: feel free to show me a single example somewhere red. I’d love it.

When that happens, yeah, that’d be a good example.

NYC does not extrapolate out to the US, or things would look very different these days.

Oof.

So… May as well assault them if they are going to lie anyway, and you dont have the kind of press following a mayoral candidate or state senator would?

Thats the message they are sending to me, not sure about anyone else’s take.

Well… Shit. Time to check out meshcore!

Edit: Nah, company driven.

I’ll keep the fully open GPL 3 meshtastic my preferred

You regularly post interesting (and sometimes funny) content!

Yeah I’ve got nothing either. Kind of one of the reasons I’m on db0 actually.

“The party” is not trying to gain access to the building.

These two reps are.

I wonder if it is because you added that way, rather than from f-Droid or something.

No idea. If I had a spare still running android (trying out postmarketos on a few devices) I’d like to give it a try. Maybe I’ll spin up a VM.

What apps?

No idea. Play Store then update itself via its at store rev? Preinstalled on a ROM? Via adb?

That said, all the link refers to is a few sample permissions (which would not include F-Droid from that list) and only via certain methods being downloaded. Or they have it wrong and its “opened from”.

Its still shitty, but as of now I’m not sure if there is any impact to installing F-Droid, but I can say the method of installation has complied with previous versions of googles “protections” (as in forced limitations) and that appears to continue to be true.

How did you install aurora store?

I’m curious because ive seen no issues with F-Droid (just had a few updates actually), and the F-Droid team have commented on this sort of approach before, including the method being used for installation.

I don’t use aurora, so I’m not overly familiar.

Just FYI, no, F-Droid will not be impacted.

Links in this comment explain, they are incorrect about how F-Droid works.

F-Droid uses Session Installer, which is an “app store” method.

This is not a new issue:

https://www.androidauthority.com/android-15-restricted-settings-sideloading-3481098/

That doesnt appear to be true, the restriction seems to be on apps being installed from file managers, web browsers, messaging, etc.

F-droid and the like are not part of that list.

This still isn’t good, but it doesnt stop you from having F-droid manage your messaging apps it would seem.

Edit: If you’re down voting because you think its using the same method as a file manager as the user that replied to me, this is incorrect. This is also an issue going back several versions.

F-Droid uses a session installer method for 3rd party app stores, it does not use the same method as a file manager.

For an article about a similar issue brought up by similar restrictions in previous updates, you can refer to this article:

https://www.androidauthority.com/android-15-restricted-settings-sideloading-3481098/

You can also refer to this thread in the F-Droid forums which covers this as well, from 2 1/2 years ago:

https://forum.f-droid.org/t/sideloading-restrictions-or-removal-in-future-how-it-effects-fdroid/21089/10

Which also includes a merged discussion from the last time this came up 9 months ago.

F-Droid has been using the session installer method for quite some time.

For that, I’d highly recommend a power conditioner with outlet controls (and preferably sequencing).

Most are pretty expensive, but you can get something like a surgex squid or a gude expert power control for a few hundred here and there, which will give you great data on power usage as well. You can also grab an older model with serial and/or relay controls, and use a pi or whatever is handy to trigger it. Actually have a setup like that in a few racks for clients (mostly orange pis and a couple of Asus tinker boards).

Hope your trip goes well!

can we really blame folks for choosing a fast death?

Yes.

One option has opportunity, the other is… This horseshit.

Yes, I will absolutely blame any accelerationist, every time.

Edit: If you think more people getting more hurt is OK because it might result in a more left future later, just fucking block me now please. And also gfy.

In general, no. In terms of specific policies as an AG, there were some.

I’d say she’s a centrist, with some progressive policies and some regressive. Just my opinion obviously.

Without government regulation in a specific area <> anarchist.

Let’s not confuse things.
