The bad news is that Android is still likely affected. Similar to Apple’s ImageIO, Android has a facility called the BitmapFactory that handles image decoding, and of course libwebp is supported. As of today, Android hasn’t released a security bulletin that includes a fix for CVE-2023-4863 – although the fix has been merged into AOSP. To put this in context: if this bug does affect Android, then it could potentially be turned into a remote exploit for apps like Signal and WhatsApp. I’d expect it to be fixed in the October bulletin.

So a no-click device hack?

Do you have lots of cash to support the copyright and maintenance fees? The Web archive (I think, or another similar website) got sued for having knowledge and book contents on their website. You can’t just publish hacked books.

Most likely you would need a way to generate money for a “business”.

There would be some ways like advertising (can be OK, but not always the best, it depends on how many adds, how scummy ads, and how much tracking/data selling).

Donations? = pretty much no expected revenue. The amount of revenue you can get is very low.

Paid features, but what features could be paid while keeping free access?

On the website :

Wireguard is clearly seen by firewalls as a VPN by only allowing UDP packets

However proton Vpn în their app, they have a “wireguard TCP” setting.

Which is also confusing as on their wireguard marketing page, there is a faq where they say openvpn supports tcp in a ways as it supports TCP but not wireguard.

Because it doesn’t show the conspiracy theory enhancing the authors conspiracy anti-covid/anti-moon landing opinion :

meaning you will never find the truth about the moon landing or COVID vaccines there even if the query asks for exactly that. What you will find - though - is a bunch of irrelevant “fact check” or “science loving” sites, or ones shitting on “conspiracy theorists”.

This is very old news. But I guess it’s never too late to make a copy article for advertising…

I think this is either very not well understood or I am missing an old brace news.

They did not alter any link.

They however were proposing an auto complete, when the user was typing a crypto currency website name, with their affiliate link. https://brave.com/referral-codes-in-suggested-sites/.

They did not modify any link the user imput without autocomplete or through a search engine. (also it’s fixed).

Maybe I’m mistaken you are talking of something else.

Like it is useful… Open ai already got all the useful info out of the websites.

Tho maybe for the sites generating new content it may have a use. But all the content before that is already lost to chatgpt.

Well companies could still be liches. If what they are building around your software isn’t a direct derivative (which it will most likely not be), then companies will still be able to publish their closed source work, while mentioning your open source software (if they even need to).

They benefit from your code and give nothing in return.

This can also be true if the companies use your software without redistributing it. They will just use your software and never give anything back.

Well, with all the porn on twitter, it may be an appropriate name.

There are already jokes in brand names like from French :

Official “X” account Msi France

And the WiFi router has to not be configured as a bridge device. It has to be it’s own DHCP provider.

There are multiple things taken in account for the steam deck compatibility.

One of the issues, can be the very small display. In some cases the game may display small text or require a mouse for some menus, and it will be partially compatible, but in other cases it may be unplayable, or only playable with a mouse.

It can be interesting for Linux desktop users. There also is prodondb protondb which can help too.

I recently found Liftoff on android from the posts on Lemmy, and I like some of the features (in addition to the common text features) :

• the ability to have multiple accounts views at the same time.
• being able to add instances without accounts just to get the all/local content from them.
• nice design.

However I find it is also lacking :

• there are inconsistencies between how comments and posts are managed in the notification/account view (to open a comment I need to click on the “link” 🔗 button, but to open a post I can just click on it)
• it doesn’t yet have verified links like Jerboa, so when something puts and https instead of ! Link to a community/post, it always opens in a browser.
• I would also like to be able to have a setting where it is a “always ask what account to use” for subscriptions. If I found an interesting community on my alt account, I would want to subscribe to it with my main.

Favourite, not sure. Maybe my “favourite” would be the one which would be the hardest to replace with something I like.

There wouldn’t be something i can think off that could be irreplaceable. However the hardest thing I like may be FanControl.

For the browser, Firefox is very nice, but it’s “just” a browser if you think about it. There is brave, and other open source chromium alternatives if it disappears.

For mail clients, I also like the Mailspring design, however Thunderbird just got a new skin and damn it looks good too.

And for the rest, I don’t really know. Either I don’t remember right now, or no special “like” for the software. Or I like the closed source software convenience more (I may also have no idea of an open source alternative, or an equivalent in features open source).

It depends on the usage really.

It doesn’t support it natively. Fairphone uses /e/os and because it uses microg, android auto doesn’t work directly.

From this thread, there would maybe be a solution, one answer directs to an xda developer post with magisk : https://community.e.foundation/t/android-auto-with-magisk/47472

However it needs some tinkering, and it may not be the easiest thing to do.

This wouldn’t happen because you don’t feel a temperature. You feel an energy/heat transfer.

When you touch something cold, it’s cold because when you touch it, there is a transfert of heat from your hands to the cold object.

If you touch something hot, it’s hot because there is a transfer of heat from the object to your hands.

In a hot room, it’s a transfer of heat from the air to you.

But there is something more too.

You generate heat. If you were in a room with exactly the temperature of your skin, it will feel hot, because the heat you generate cannot dissipate in the air.

Now let’s say you touch the liquid which has no energy transfer capabilities. In such way, well, you wouldn’t be able to touch it.

But say we could. Your hands won’t feel immediately any heat/cold because there cannot be any energy/heat transfer. However, as you generate heat, your hands will start to get hotter and hotter has the heat cannot be dissipated around, even if your body will try to compensate though other parts of the body. It’s like putting your hands in a glove.

Also remove your other duplicate comments.

The issue with mastodon communities is that they don’t use the same type of fediverse tools. You could maybe follow people from mastodon, but the apps or Lemmy/kbin will need to implement a compatibility with those fediverse websites.

To follow communities outside your instance it’s a bit less optimised currently as the instances don’t scrape all the communities from other servers.

So to find them, either someone else had to search it and subscribe to the community for the server to show it when you search for them, or you’ll have to show the server where the community is :

For example a community from your instance : !apolloapp@reddthat.com

You can notice that I put a ! Then [community] and @[server address].

You will often see this presentation under the community name when clicking on a community : !apolloapp This is what that means.

If you were on another instance, to find the apolloapp community from reddthat.com, you’ll need to search for either : !apolloapp@reddthat.com Or https://reddthat.com/c/apolloapp

I don’t know if apps are able to search like this, so you may need to go on your account in a browser and search from there.

Also as stated in another comment, there are websites to search for communities, like Lemmyverse.

However you can find communities to replace the reddit ones here :

It’s not always easy to combine the different requirements for those companies.

Some companies have trackers/advertising in their software. In that case, puting them open source would mean that everyone would see the code and be unhappy about the adverts.

Another issue is pirating. Open sourcing the code could maybe allow easier pirating, either by removing the trackers/adverts or by just not buying the software.

Managers can also not know, or not care about open source.

Another issue is that open sourcing it in a way where someone can modify it, may create issues with some people trying to redistribute the software, even if the licence doesn’t allow that, which would create more legal work for those companies.

Google distributes it in waves. So a group may get is faster, then another… And so on
