  It doesn’t really explain the part where artificially making the pizza more expensive is somehow a payback.

  I think people don’t want specialised tools, they want one tool they can always have with them. We can see the decline of computer use (and literacy) as a consequence of this. Many young people don’t use computers much, if at all.

  I would definitely call that selling my data. The recipient can now add that to my profile as an interest.

  Also, Brave has really shitty features like redirecting referral codes.

  Good point. Touché.

  As a third party I don’t think we should blame America for the genocide in Gaza. We should blame Israel. We are all complicit (and way worse of course being a sponsor) by not calling it out.

  Not if you ask them but taking the time to design a system that isn’t reliant on a strong client (and then open sourcing it) would probably be more secure, and obviously more inclusive.

  For instance, I’m very eager to switch to a lknux phone but having blockers like this is forcing me to stay on Android, even though I am sick and tired or the enshittification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or even run the app as is on a “non-compliant” os - like a rooted android.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What I meant was that the phone operating system has SDKs (e.g. google services on android) which the app uses to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with, which makes it even harder to make an open source client.

  It’s the opposite of supplying an SDK for third party developers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Norwegian government to set 15-year age limit for using social media⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are using the phone SDKs to verify that BankID was correctly installed, much like any other client side DRM.
