  Unless you want to create your own custom ROM, the only general solution is to raise enough stink so that Google fixes it themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to hide installed apps list from other apps in android?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Settings -> System -> Multiple users.

  Add another user, and install all your spyware apps from this user account. These apps should be unable to access your primary account, including other installed apps, they will see only an empty Android phone.

  You will need to create a new Google account on your PC first if you want to install apps. Also configure two-factor authentication using your PC or another phone, because you won’t be able to switch to your authenticator app on your primary account quickly enough to copy the one-time password to your new account.

  Is 300 nm the diameter of the optical cable? This terminology breaks my brain, 300 nm is 1000 terahertz, which is unreasonably large for a signal bandwidth, it’s like one milllion Ethernet cables.

  That name was straight copied from

  the site that should not be named

  r*ddit

  And the phrasing was intentional.

  I’ve achieved something today. Not anything useful, but still something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3074: Push Notifications⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Browser-based notifications are easy to turn off, and it’s probably the only way to get a message on a desktop PC without subscribing to email or using RSS. Also you don’t need to install an app on your phone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New 'DRAM+' memory designed to provide DRAM performance with SSD-like storage capabilities, uses FeRAM tech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But it’s very convenient! When you have a BSOD, you don’t need your core dumped, you simply unplug your DRAM+ and send it to Microsoft using paper mail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 • Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season - Episode 13 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t put it past ancient China palace regulations. They worked really hard to differentiate themselves from commoners. In the brothel scene they all bathed naked, including Maomao.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Europe proposes backdoors in encrypted platforms under new security strategy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s way less expensive for state-sponsored hackers to blackmail your country’s official to leak backdoor keys than try to break the unbreakable crypto using a nuclear-powered GPU farm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond RGB: A new image file format efficiently stores invisible light data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Saving arbitrary metadata is the exact use case for pickle module, you just put it together with your numpy array into a tuple. jpeg format has support for storing metadata, but they are an afterthought like .mp3 tags, half of applications do not support them.

  I can imagine multichannel jpeg to be used in photo editing software, so you can effortlessly create false-color plots of your infrared data, maybe even apply a beauty filter to your Eagle Nebula microwave scans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there an android device that is both phone and music player?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can achieve this with apps like Next Track or Volumee and a regular Android phone. Or you can buy a phone with extra buttons, but the button mapping function depends on the manufacturer’s Android skin, so the quality varies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beyond RGB: A new image file format efficiently stores invisible light data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What, pickle.dump your enormous Numpy array not good enough for you anymore? Not even fancy zlib.compress(pickle.dumps(enormousNumpyArray)) will satisfy you? Are you a scientist or a spectral data photographer?

  Should have used three spreadsheets. Excel tends to run slowly when a spreadsheet has more than a million cells in it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't | Dark Mentor LLC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There was no mention of over-the-air exploit, so eh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ESP32 "backdoor" that wasn't | Dark Mentor LLC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyway, having direct unprivileged R/W access to platform memory is indeed a security hole, no matter the vendor.

  It is not. ESP32 is an embedded chip with less than one megabyte of RAM. It cannot run apps or load websites with any malicious code, it only runs the firmware that you flash on it, nothing else, and of course your firmware has full access to every chip feature. If your firmware has a security hole, it’s not the chip’s fault.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tech companies spend effort on a FOSS project when either it’s their main product, or when they have no choice, it’s licensed under GPL and there are no BSD or Apache-licensed alternatives. Contributions are usually done by individual employees in their after-hours time, and most managers see it as directly benefitting their competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open source maintainers are feeling the squeeze⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Other companies provide nothing, so it’s definitely better than average.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 7 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As another comment said, there is an anime for any specific fetish. This one is for gaslighting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"mono" New Key Visual, PV⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it not about the open-source version of Microsoft Java?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, the kids I know learned C just fine. C is simple, C is all you need for writing kernel drivers, pointers are not that hard if you explain them well, it just feels really pedestrian compared to Python or Typescript.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s ultimately a question of money. Older guys with software engineering degrees and fancy salaries can spend their weekends doing free community service in the form of open-source development. Younger people have to worry about job and rent and bills, they simply don’t have that kind of free time.

  Add to that the growing complexity of the software. Something that could be done by an university student before, like writing an OS from scratch, won’t be nearly as useful as it would in the '90-s, because it was already done before, now you have multiple OSes to choose from. And joining an existing software project is hit-or-miss, some are inclusive and some are an old boy club where you need to know the secret rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 6 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for confirming it. It was prerty obvious how the plot will develop, it’s still disappointing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 6 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Who is still watching this, did it improve yet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 5 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched it by mistake, it’s still trash. I recommend watching an actual hentai like Beheneko instead of this.

  That random girl will become the next Demon Queen, the foreshadowing is too strong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! • Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s only like 50 years between Tanya’s Japan and magical not-Germany. She’s way more grounded in her knowledge, it’s all basically the end-of-WW2 military doctrine, and she cannot ‘invent’ better guns or tanks because there’s no technology to produce them yet, and much bigger challenge is not modernizing guns but producing enough shells for them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! • Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That yodeling was a divine spell in a long forgotten but still widely used angelic language (Bavarian), according to the worldbuilding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! • Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You know shit’s going down when angels singing divine hymns start yodeling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! • Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Oji-san - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This trope drives me insane in generic isekai.

  There’s also a scurvy epidemic, which the healers can do nothing about but MC solves woth a proper diet. I’ve read at least three novels with this plot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 4 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And I thought Beheneko is the degenerate show of the season, but it has an actual plot compared to this one.
