Looks like Phil was carrying this one.

I kinda wish they showed protondb around the 19:50 ish mark instead of just focusing on deck playable

https://www.protondb.com/app/7900 still borked but important to see that even for a nieche game from 2005 thats no longer available on steam an entry exists just showcases the wealth of information on protondb

any version of android that's not vendor or downloaded from the official android website

• https://e.foundation/e-os/
• or the aforementioned GrapheneOS
• calyxos.org (paused)

bloombergs ties to nvidia are just the cherry on top. While I hope they don't let them get away with it, I think ultimately the only move to beat the DMCA bs is to ditch yt as a platform, since its rigged in favor of rights holder pretenders. The USB stick idea is pretty clever.

if you read the article

It said Unilever blocked it in February from honoring Black History Month, and more recently from supporting the release from detention of Mahmoud Khalil, a U.S. legal permanent resident active in pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University and who the Trump administration wants to deport.

First of all thank you for providing a foss app!

I think it's a big difference if the platform tolerates you or actively wants to stop you from doing it. You got my fullest sympathy.

Done! for the curious, original title, "Cirrus App dev pulling app from certified android devices in '26/'27" new, "Cirrus app dev informing the app will stop working on certified android devices in '26/'27"

Hail the Klingons Ohura!

Yes you're right. I've worded that wrong in the title!

Thank you for these links they are fantastic! I was aware of the procedural lock in via play integrity services and also the lockdown on side loading so that didn't get past me, but I wasn't aware google also wants to alienate developers now by requiring ID. It seems to me google want to now fully commercialize the platform, transforming it into the ad infested network that web2+3.0 already became. I think their plan, by alienating non commercial devs, is that all apps will run on their ad models and non without them will be left.

Smart-tvs are in the same boat

Unfortunately the trend is that those apps usually require play integrity api https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide#apps-banning-grapheneos which requires that the app is running on a verified android(stock) device and custom ROMs can't run it same for waydroid.

since you're compiling a list, lemme add a forum https://f95zone.to/

I kinda wished you were able to back up your claims. The Steam deck can install flatpacks through discover just fine.

Bazzite doesn't support the 64GB version of the deck. It's the version I own.

I run a rebased kionite to bazzite on my desktop pc, so its not like I hate Bazzite, I love it. All in all not a very sensible recommendation, in my opinion the risk of bricking far outweigh the aesthetic appeal to run Wayland apps.

I get your frustration with recent mozilla actions, but I don't think this one deserves it. For one your point seems like whataboutism. Secondly If you heard about Cambridge analytica it should be clear how much those algorithms shape our lives. It would be good to know for me if those algorithms are really just boring algorithms or if they are shaped by some political or company agenda.

search engine says, it should work fine.
