The slowness is a feature not a bug though. This is a very powerful feature and an important discussion for the community.
- Comment on Mastodon is bringing quote posts to the fediverse 22 hours ago:
I’m quite optimistic that this will do well. The main fear is that quote feature is mostly used for bullying but I think lately Mastodon communities are quite healthy and self correcting for this to not be the case.

- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 6 days ago:
I don’t think this adds anything tbh as peoppe with adb would always be able to bypass this. The issue is that this kills distribution and thats exactly what Google wants - have full competitive control. Once they don’t like your app they’ll block your account and what do you do with your customer base? Give them adb install instructions? That’s basically a death sentence for any app.
- Comment on Google's plan to restrict sideloading on Android has a potential escape hatch for users 6 days ago:
Nah you can’t realistically distribute your app with adb requirement. No one will bother to go through such friction.

I’ve tried emailing LinkedIn with no response. Apparently this is not covered by gdpr because you still need to confirm identity

You can’t do anything with a locked account. Just a screen to do a web cam verification.

This is actually worse than integration in Play Protect which can be disabled very easily. Now you can only install unsigned apps via ADB which means just developers can do it.
- Comment on Age Verification Is A Windfall for Big Tech—And A Death Sentence For Smaller Platforms 6 days ago:
Unfortunately sometimes it’s too late. Any platform can lock your account and keep your data until you unlock it and GDPR and similar do not protect against it. That’s what Twitter and LinkedIn started to do - require verification and no way to delete your account if you decline.

- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 1 week ago:
Ive been a pirate since the late 90s and it’s a service problem for the most part. So saying a song name on Spotify and getting what you want 99.9% of the time is an unbeatable experience. Not to mention curated and generate playlists. No piracy setup matches this that I’ve seen.

And where do I get the music? Every time I want to listen to something I’m spending 20 minutes searching for it on some forsaken pirate websites? I’m way too old and not poor enough for this.

I’ve tried to get away from Spotify for years and the reality is the competition still sucks. I still have Tidal and YT music subscriptions but 90% of my music is on Spotify. I don’t know why is it so hard to match this.
- Comment on How OnlyFans Piracy Is Ruining the Internet for Everyone | Innocent sites are being delisted from Google because of copyright takedown requests against rampant OnlyFans piracy. 1 week ago:
But these tools were available for years at least. How do you think Youtube strikes down videos automatically by it’s own since like 2012.
The issue is that again and again simpletons are yelling at the hammer instead of the guy that’s smashing everything with it. This is so tiring, it makes all of us look so fucking stupid.

Nah this was issue before automation as well. Low paid employees aren’t particularly better than AI here nor do they care to be whe they get paid barely anything.

One gets the current value to verify it and another actually sets a new value. It’s the way these commands are usually shared.

Yes it modifies the phone not the app and you can re-enable it anytime with 1 instead of -1

You don’t need to sign anything just turn off play protect with 1 adb command:
adb shell settings get global package_verifier_user_consent adb shell settings put global package_verifier_user_consent -1 # disable Play Protect

Theres plenty you can care about that isn’t billionaire pop stars or famines. I really despise this argument.
Theres so much optimistic shit these days and education has never been this accessible. Join a book club, environmental club, local community, hobby niche, care about different countries and regions.
There are literally a billion things you should care more about than a billionaires getting engaged. It’s frankly disgusting.

Nah, why not both?
