  Haven’t heard of it, personally, except the case with introducing a vulnerability similar to the case with the xz backdoor that wasn’t merged. Would appreciate the link, tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Uh-huh, sure, just about protecting the users. Nevermind that actual malware is regularly found on play store, and exactly 0 times – on f-droid they’re “protecting” the users from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delete only one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does it matter, tho? To me it looks like all phones are ultimately the same for quite a while now. Pixels used to be better mostly due to providing the ability to effortlessly unlock the bootloader while being the de facto aosp testing target, but as of lately they’ve decided to fix that, not to mention their moves to enshitify away the option to side load the apps. Samsung’s always been a wannabe crapple, and crapple is crapple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone finally made a "Sonarr for YouTube"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  TA just didn’t fit my use case when I tested it, tbh: I mainly wanted to expose a dozen or so YouTube channels as podcasts to antennapod while saving the audio and stripping integrations with sponsorblock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I may be wrong here, but does it really make sense when you can’t actually prove the misuse did or did not happen? Say, you suspect phishing, then it’s a matter of inspecting a few next e-mails to/from non-proton users to decide if it’s likely happening. On the other hand, when the account is blocked, proton (as long as the claims about at-rest encryption are true) has no way of verifying the claim, since, as far as I’m aware, a user can’t provide them with what they’ve sent even if they wanted to.

  Interesting, so it’s not only their recent-ish (either 12th or 13th gen and up, iirc) laptop CPUs that die under normal load.

  Nondescriptive title, I think. Ppl here tend to be quite tired of clickbait, as I’ve noticed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney+ Confirmed a NEW Change Coming Soon for Subscribers⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite possible. The solution even puts the money you spend on their disservices back in your pocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Plex has paywalled my server!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s kinda the same as it was before, as far as I can see, for the personal plan. Looks like they’ve just added more the ability to add more than 3 users for a fee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨For the first time, social media overtakes TV as Americans’ top news source⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say they’re equally meh due to not showing the whole picture. TV kinda says what feds allow 'em to, and antisocial media gives an easy way to filter only the news strengthening your beliefs in whatever (I.e. radicalization). But with the latter one can at least consciously add more perspectives [unless it’s Facebook, and zuckwomble decides to conduct one of his mood control experiments or something]

  I meant their supposedly secret chats. Last time I’ve checked they weren’t even available on desktop

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia's State Duma passes bill to create state messaging app as it considers blocking WhatsApp⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why block a popular messenger that has no e2ee by default and shady custom e2ee that doesn’t even sync between multiple devices users can optionally use? Sounds counterproductive

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian carmakers in Chinese trouble as rare earths supply runs short⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also fair :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian carmakers in Chinese trouble as rare earths supply runs short⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not about the past vs present, it’s about them solving an issue that didn’t exist in the first place. Like who the hell thinks it’s a good idea to let cars connect to the internet? Except car manufacturers who decided cars became too cheap for their tastes so it’d be nice to data-mine the customers as well. Enshitification 101, that’s all I’m saying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian carmakers in Chinese trouble as rare earths supply runs short⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, so how about they pull their heads out of their asses and fucking stop making cars computers on wheels? That might help a bit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sucksung customers, iirc, at least have an option to unlock the bootloader and install a custom ROM that doesn’t phone corporates whatsoever. Iphones, tho, will always phone crapple, so that’s a questionable choice as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best Free Mobile App for Streaming Self-Hosted Music?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except working without play services, that is, and some of us aren’t fans of having those around.
