I wish you the best of luck! I got them during the height of the show luckily :D

Yes, Google owns Android as a whole, but (almost?) every single OEM customizes Android for their purposes. That is not the same thing.

I have two of them, from Mr. Robot, for decoration - just like I have other statues for the same purpose. I took them out of the box though, I don’t get why anyone would do that.

Base Android (AOSP) is not, what you probably mean is Google Android.

Look at GrapheneOS, that is a usable, privacy-focused Android without bloat.

I’ve been obsessed by it for the past 80 hours of playtime but am growing tired of it. All the CC is just annoying me and how some heroes require so much counter itemizing just for existing. Every game is starting to feel the same.

We’ll see what the future brings but right now I personally have no desire to play at all.

Because that’s just game balance. Toxicity is a people problem.

It’s fine that you don’t enjoy that kind of game - there are plenty of others.

Don’t waste your time. These people are blinded by idealism and don’t care about reality, just being angry.

It’s still niche. You’re living in your dream world, not reality. It’s the entire point of proton - not to have to create two versions of the game. As long as it’s compatible it’ll run nicely on their hardware.

From my view: If I get a game called WalkScape I don’t want to play it actively. So if those things can only be progressed on the couch, I won’t touch them. And if that locks me out of other content, that sucks.

And if it’s just AFK, then it also goes against the purpose/vision of the game. Not saying that you’re doing it, but don’t bloat it with unnecessary mechanics.

May I ask what the reason for the battery drain was?

You’re assuming that they don’t know that, lol. They do. It does not matter because people keep shoving money up their ass and number goes up.

That community manager is also utterly incompetent at their job, which made this worse for Arrowhead than it had to be.

Just want to jump on the train of calling you a bootlicker for defending piece of shit corpos and ignoring human nature :)

You need to check out public key cryptography and digital signatures. Those are the basics of Fido.

When the private key is bound to a device it is not possible to fake or steal it through conventional methods. Passwords are the weakest link and an easy target for attackers - passkeys basically solve that.

User adoption depends on implementation, but everything is easier than remembering a secure password or using a password manager for most people. There needs to be an easy and secure way to distribute passkeys across devices, and any backup mechanisms may be a weak point. In any case: still better than passwords.

Some more news ftw!

Caring about the technology of an app more than about its privacy is really strange to me, but you do you.

I love the pixel launcher but hate that you can’t disable the internet connection of the Google widget. That means that Google tracks every single app you search and I can’t stand that. So I’m using the buggy and apparently just as outrageous Nova :/

You can collaborate on WhatsApp or Signal as well, both messengers are using the end-to-end encrypted Signal protocol. Even in group chats. Telegram is not E2EE per default.

Of course, with WhatsApp Meta collects all your metadata so they have a very detailed network of basically all the people in this world… At least without all their messages.

Messages are only end-to-end encrypted if you use the Secure Messaging option. Otherwise everything passes the server in cleartext.

That means that anyone with access to those servers can read your messages.

It’s just abuse and people are most often helpless to leave. Actors are just normal bags of meat too.

Telegram is a security disaster.

That’s two cheating incidents too many.

Hah, I even got the pack with Pony Island because it was a few cents cheaper lol! Will check it out, thanks :D

Fuuuuuuuuuuck Rockstar, sail the seas!

Inscryption. What a masterpiece!

In the case of Steam that’s because no other corpo run by parasites can create anything close to it. You’re completely free to get any other launcher or store that takes a smaller cut.

And now is where your misguided comparison completely falls apart: Apple users have no other choice than the AppStore. Even if someone wanted to create a better store, they just can’t.

66 wpm, 94% accuracy with standard google keyboard.

To improve speed I’d suggest simply practicing. You’ll get better over time!

They are not just middlemen, they control the entire sales platform - both buyer and seller.

What a privileged thing to say.

I’m not sure I follow you - if someone can compromise the key material on my phone that is protected by a different factor, then it doesn’t matter whether the 2FA is server-side or not, it’s compromised either way.

Do you know what they do? I seriously cannot imagine anything where at least a tablet wouldn’t be much better and more efficient.

I don’t really think phones have a real use (yet?) for productivity aside from as a marketing gimmick. Only for looking stuff up.

The point of encoding, the process of representing data in a different way, is to have the data set not be tainted. :)

Here, for example: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_entities.asp

Could have done it with proper encoding, don’t need to remove it lol o.O

Using a 5 as well and I already fear ever replacing it - it’s just the perfect size :(

I was just about to write pretty much the same comment. I’m dreading getting a new phone, they’re all so large.

I use Firefox and it does exactly that.
