I use a period tracker to identify file extensions.

Nice try officer.

At the limit though they’d have to pay every coder with an interest in that software’s development and enough time for a hobby. I guess they could target distribution like Codeberg but alternatives would eventually fill their place.

Like a locked bootloader and bloat.

Oh snap, I misread it as Motorola bought GrapheneOS! This is way better news than I realized! Thx for the clarification. 🫡

Edit: On reflection can FOSS even be bought since it doesn’t have an owner to pay? I’m caught up now.

A question isn’t an assumption. It’s possible to hold an idea in one’s head without immediately accepting or rejecting it. I also don’t see any problem with planning ahead. Why are you assuming I’m a dude?

Different tense. I wasn’t using it in the privacy hardened sense.

Just realized it refers to the same thing both ways. GrapheneOS is user-side hardened whereas iOS is producer-side hardened.

I was wondering if they’d require that new REAL ID versus the older (and cheaper) State ID, but from what I can tell it’ll just involve a user-declared age to preserve privacy. At least initially.

• Breezy Weather
• ProgressBars (for displaying days until payday as a desktop icon)
• AnotherMonitor (to display remaining SSD space on an icon)

What’s the likelihood that Motorola will eventually lock down GrapheneOS though? Imho it’d be a bad move if they did. The FOSS mobile OS community has matured to the point that we don’t need to rely on for-profit monoliths any more. Motorola would be smart to lead the way to where the mobile device economy will be.

Are you saying, “Hello Moto?”

You can always add widgets if you want something to break up the gridded icons. 🫡 Welcome to the fam.

Effective date known yet?

Mass surveillance for advertising seems marginally more benign than mass surveillance by one’s own government, personally. Though admittedly both are bad.

Edit: I can find alternatives for most of Google’s ecosystem but mapping out accurate bus routes is terrible via OSM/OsmAnd or Organic Maps. Anyone have any tips there?

The joy of his Colbert Report is finally returning to him.

Ah, thank you! 🙌 I guess just based on all the interrupting crowd in Happy Gilmore I connected him with that movie. Thanks for clearing that up.

However the Battery Saver mode on Androids that only charges the battery up to 80% DOES extend battery life. Substantial evidence shows that a high State of Charge accelerates degradation through: solid electrolyte interphase growth, loss of lithium inventory, and loss of active materials. (See: mdpi.com)

Values opposing bad habits are vice principles.

RIP Aaron Schwartz. 🙏

Is he related to Aaron Swartz?

Edit: Peak documentary of his life (free) for those unfamiliar. 🥹

It’s more controversial at least now. The debate now focuses on whether “biochemical activity” is equivalent to a “useful function”.
