We call that bullshit where I come from. Either it’s historical or it’s fiction. Fiction can be done in an historical setting, but is never historical itself.
An open not maintained system is worst than a well maintained but closed one. There are billions of $ behind window and macos. Some critical package on Linux are maintained by 2 guys during their spare time…
Holy fuck, every time: one line answer, no explanation, just Insults. Find someone to fck instead of crying on the internet.
I used droid-ify recently, which is well maintained and still got these pop up. Are you sure we’re talking about the same thing ? I mean pop up that says « would you like to install x app ». Yes no. And you got to give permission to the store first to even show this pop up.
Exception to the rule ?? I’d argue you have no idea how many times it succeeded because that’s the point. We only know what failed, if this worked I have no doubt that companies running Pegasus which have hundreds of millions of dollar of budget every year can success.
Open source when not maintained properly is fundamentally flawed, there just need one weak element in the chain, one package maintained by a handful of people on their own time.
There are differences between play store and other store. For instance, on fdroid you have a pop up asking each and every time if you want to install or update the app after pressing install button. Play store you just click install and let it do its work in the background.
I don’t think fdroid can update app by itself in the background. Play store can.
I mean third party store doesn’t have access to some of the api play store have, things you don’t care but that is important to normies and that would induce reduced profit from epic store.
Your dumbass should check XZ Backdoor.
It was open source, yet only blind luck led a Microsoft developer to uncover it. It would have gone in most Linux installation otherwise.
All because of an unpopular package that was maintained by a very few people.
Oh my god you’re so right. Thanks for enlightening us.
Linux on phone is great for privacy but can you say that on security ?? It’s open source, not very popular. We’ve seen how it can go wrong recently.
Id put it in third after grapheneos. But the end result is that it’s not suitable anyway.
When commenting on Reddit I always make sure to write garbage i would say in a bar, not something actually useful to anyone.
If there is somewhere a LLM trained on this data, good luck 🫡
Meanwhile on Lemmy, it’s only high tier philosophical thought.
Do the same, fuck Reddit. 🤣
Until it’s you who get wrongfully put in jail, but I get the point. I think everyone agree it’s better now and also they should do everything they can to speed up the release of innocent people.
So where are the people saying edge couldn’t be uninstalled because it’s a core part of the system that other element depended upon. I swear I have seen this answer on every reddit post about uninstalling edge, yet Microsoft show its absolutely possible (although only in Europe, because dependencies don’t work the same in Europe 😂).
But that’s not how capitalism works. The employees, customers and general public don’t invest any money in companies. Without money, no business.
Got to buy material for house renovation, several hundreds € of saving if I bought on one website that didn’t work with Firefox. Guess what I did.
Almost everyone choose money and commodity over everything else. Firefox is doomed to fail, and I say that as Firefox user.
Apple arm chips still have good days ahead of it. It’s been years since the MacBook m1 was released, how can competition not catch up already ?
