Yeah I was just on a german thread and people kept talking about this as if it was actually penalized. People really need to read more beyond the headline so thank you for putting this there

Go back to Hexbear or Lemmygrad

Then move to Burkina Faso.

Those guys (like us) are only existent for the blink of a moment. No matter how important they seem today, in death all are equal and the planet and people will still be around long after they’re gone

Honestly this is a big nothingburger. Without further details there’s nothing much we can really conclude other than TDF and Collabora being in a legal dispute. Nothing conclusive really

Thunderbird is pretty neat tho

What… theres just people there with arms up in the air

Fucking hell I hope someone sues the shit out of the EU for this

Would it really be free will if there was fate or destiny? Would he be a Laplace demon and by thinking about mankind eating the apple he was creating a simulation where mankind actually does eat an apple?

Because he gifted humanity free-will? I thought that was like the main reason

I wish there was more like pragmatic political action taking than just violence mongering on lemmy, but thats just me

The American electorate, truly the greatest in the world

And what do you think happens when big platforms have to introduce age verification? People will just go to smaller unregulated sites which may inadvertently be worse because of malware risks and unregulated content. You just can’t take the porn out of the internet, people always find a way

Honestly I would much rather long term have decent Linux for phones, as AOSP derived programs will always rely in some way on google code. I would prefer having one large FOSS Linux ecosystem

But why do they never accidentally wear each others shirt or something.

Good thing my Uni doesn’t have attendance. Although I still try to attend all lectures.

They have a tool called advanced privacy that tries to block in-app trackers. Adblocking is more a browser thing but the preinstalled browser does have it (although I use uBlock on Fennec, a Firefox fork). Theres really not that much to learn most things just work. The only thing you need to know is that some apps that rely heavily on Google Play Services might not work properly. For example Google Maps does not work (but the Webapp does or you can just use CoMaps or Osmand, something OpenStreetMap based). Generally I found the switch to be pretty easy. My banking apps all worked fine but I’ve heard some people have trouble with theirs. The App Launcher is kind of iOS inspired but I didn’t like it that much so I just swapped it out with Kvaerisito.

Thats why flatpaks exist for those kind of apps and sandboxes are very much possible on linux (even if not widely used for normal programs)

Yeah, it won’t affect you really. /e/OS is based off of AOSP and Lineage and the devs can just choose to keep it like it currently is. I haven’t really found a source for it but since theres like no official play store, and the lineage community would just patch out whatever google introduces (If this even reaches AOSP) I don’t think this will ever bother neither of us. The real threat comes from FOSS projects dying bc most Android users still use proprietary android

Thank god I run /e/OS. I just hope this won’t hurt the popularity of sideloaded apps too much, as this might mean FOSS apps becoming stagnant because they don’t receive as much attention anymore
