Wow thanks for posting this. I read the whole thing but what I'm not getting is the fact that their started concern is apks "side loaded". This is aimed directly at the foss community as normal people already won't I stall anything outside of the play store. No non tech enthusiasts go straight to git hub ...

I'm not really understanding. I buy a phone. Peter codes and app with foss tools and emails it to me. No copyright or anything bad like a to do app. I want to use said app on my purchased phone. Now Peter will have to show his license and stuff? I guess developers are criminals.

I put a rate limit on my nginx docker container. No clue if it worked but my customers are able to use the website now. I get a Alton of automated probing and SQL injection requests. Pretty horrible considering I built my app for very minimal traffic and use session data in places rather than pulling from DB and the ddos basically attacks corrupt sessions

yes 8gb soldered. with a slot for a stick alongside the soldered shit. look I don't come up with this stuff but I got the laptop for 200 bucks on Facebook and it plays well with ubuntu

Well I think we are such a small percentage of users that care that it probably does not matter in the grand scheme. I just got on android in 24' when rcs started working because my large family network was always worried they would lose communication with me. Because you know the little green text bubble things don't get pictures and stuff from non iOS... People have no clue and don't care as long as the phone works to swipe on sorry videos

This is not really a technology question. I would pull a favor and see who can check in on your car/live in/take it in. I have a ton of animals and it's hard to get people that don't bail out so I resort to questionable people that are pretty much homeless and we're 100bucks goes a long ways. Or pull a favor from family

haha not only do I use IDEs, docker, etc I also use the computer for computer things at the same time! Like music, browser tabs, and thunderbird eat 3gb ish and gnome alone is about 3

Makes sense. Is Google play store just apk files as well? I thought there was some other special sauce with it as well besides just running spyware in the background. This all sounds like a good way to get full names for YouTube add less app makers...

The Facebook tracking when not installed on the iphone is strange as I thought only android is pre installed in the background not iOS.

I dunno sort of have the opposite experience, up until this year I used a 2015 MacBook I found at a relatives house and Linux installed. Got me through college until I finally caved in and got a used thinkpad(13th gen) for $350. Phones are a whole different ballgame where as I can all day get a computer decent enough to use for $100. New phone ended up costing me 400 for enough storage

I don't have a solution. They also messed up my alarm I heavily rely on. I'm not sure why they get off on messing with stuff. Call also lags when swiped now. Pixel 8 here

Well it says next year. And a lot could happen between then and now. Some comments think they will run into anti trust issues trying this.

Oh I see someone already made a post. I can't see how this is enforceable except for highly modifying the OS. It would have to be enforced at the device level correct,?

gotcha it is a team group one(I was skeptical too) I have another 16gb that is crucial I think but it's 2666 speed. Will try memtest tonight and report back.

I will try this as well, I have 2 16gb sticks kicking around the 3200 team group and a crucial 2666.

Don't you have to download a file manager search application etc? In addition to just the tiler

ubuntu fresh 24.04 install. also it's still usable as is but crashes before I hit 24gb usage

Thanks for the explanation. So essentially custom roms with Google play services removed will actually be needed to download to he good apps like new pipe and the like

haha used is an understatement. was in a gaming laptop running frigate at like 90 degrees for 3 years. the other stick is a crucial 2666 16gb I have from same laptop. I'm too lazy to run memtest when I know there's an issue. going to try slower speed and do the testing

I tried Mac os and I thought it was cool until I got docker and it made me make an account. It also in order to change things in the desktop environment you had to pay for apps and I'm cheap. Windows is annoying to me after being on Linux for so long even if they have wsl. My computer broke and I ended up needing Linux to make an old MacBook we had work again is the only reason I switched originally. Developing software I appreciate that the ide and terminal are super convenient to use. Normal people for Linux.... Nope. Getting my Bluetooth to work was a 3 hour journey. Normal people use their PC that much in a month where as I use mine 12 hours+ a day.
