This doesn’t make sense. Some apps require google services, so you can’t get around that, assuming the app is very important to you (best you can do is use it only in a separate profile or just give in and do it on your main, its sandboxed after all).
I agree with the play store part though, Aurora Store is much better (I wouldn’t use aptoide or apkmirror personally, especially when Aurora exists).
Good recommendation. Good to remember that each app has its own sandbox so for most scenarios you are all set anyways (except running google play in general you may be against).
An excellent middle ground, if preferred, would be your main profile with everything that works anonymously and without google, etc, then a second profile that is not so anonymous (ie banking, google maps, etc).
You also likely need your password manager app in both profiles.
p.s. if you also use fingerprint (or any biometric) unlock, remember you can hold the power button to go into lockdown if you ever have a security threat (ie think you might be arrested or robbed or whatever like that). This disables biometrics and requires your pin. (i believe you should do this even if you use only a pin since it takes your phone into a BFU state, which you can google more about if interested).
Pretty annoying because (don’t forget) people in europe are still getting security patches for win10 btw. On each security patch they are specifically ticking “NOT US OR ANYWHERE ELSE” but instead “only eu”.
buddy who has to support Mint installs for work
The “work” part is probably why you have such a bad view of Mint. It could be any OS, but at work there would be a horror story every day (because theres a lot of people, most cant use computers, etc).
The ease of use and not having it break randomly is why you don’t use Arch for normal people who just need to get stuff done.
I have bad eye sight, but also 8k probably never need to be a thing on a tv, more impressive for stuff thats closer to our eyes like VR headsets probably.
I’m sure the encryption was disabled post meta buyout IT JUST MAKES SENSE!
Say goodbye to your pinkie
If you can afford it
It’s cheaper, no? You just go on ebay or any other used marketplace.
I know it’s a slightly higher initial cost (depending on the phone), but phones last years, you’ll be saving way more over those years.
I think they are saying “look at star citizen as the alternative” meaning never finished, but by comparison No Man’s Sky is complete now?
Maybe i’m reading it wrong though.
I have no thoughts, but Matrix isn’t only text based.
You should of course try different clients first to see if it’s viable, I don’t know if it’s gotten good yet.
Voice chat should work quite well now though, I think.
That’s true, reading your comment reminded me of SUBURBIA!!! Definitely not easy to fix that.
Certainly a good place to start with better zoning as you say.
I guess it’s bound to happen when you gotta pay your bills, but use of AI is lowering your income from your open source work (if any).
Huh? How?
I don’t like tailwind personally, but it is just CSS classes.
When you make a website, you can sometimes end up with your own personal library of classnames (like what tailwind is).
Tailwind just goes to the extreme by making you only use classnames and never making your own library of css again.
If you turn your library into an API only (through a http server), you cant just “scrape everything” as to do anything you’d have to run an api request and these servers you send your request to will be metered.
Depends on what you’re building though, but that’s how I read it.
Luckily major european countries that have well designed streets publish a lot of their found research, it just has to start being adopted in the more car-centric places.
The US as an example is pretty far gone, but if the major cities went fully in the correct direction, it probably would only take a few decades to look completely different (amsterdam is decent proof of this).
And while you’re at it, ban everyone who has done any of these things from Ontario (and the planet if possible).
Assuming you mean commericial grade hauler trucks and such, I absolutely agree with all your points.
Oh yes, I mean commercial hauler trucks, etc. The ones that do their job well of course. Of course theres other types of trucks for maintenece, last mile deliveries, etc.
(Side note, europe has nice delivery vans)
Definitely not the things the average american has started calling a “truck”, which has 5mpg and is used solely for one person to go to and from an office job, etc, never hauling anything.
And plus 1 for bikes, idk about motorbikes though, sadly they seem like death traps because of how fast you can go, one mistake by you or someone else on the road and you could see black.
I guess at the very least, we can be happy he is building a new engine that we (the community) can fork when done 💀
Postgres or sqlite are the only ones I ever consider nowadays.
Hmmm… similar to how Aurora store lets you use one of their google accounts to download from play store. Sounds like a good idea for alt clients (though idk if that involves expensive proxying to avoid passing around tokens so maybe not feasible).
