  • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

    Jump

  • Yes, that's my point. Android "doesn't" have to use Google Play Store, but it is convenient. Other store fronts exist like F-droid and many vendor specific one. Google just provide the DRM mechanism like steam does provide DRM via steamworks

  • Android apps are blocking sideloading and forcing Google Play versions instead

    Jump

  • What I mean by that is, this is just an API/SDK for app developers to use. Google does not enforce the use of such things. Much like steam does not force the use of their drm for example (please note the difference between the marketplace and the drm). App developers can always choose how they make and distribute their app.

  • Ehh, this is basically just another form of DRM. No different than you having a Steam and GOG model. You can make your apps using DRM and enforce certain constraints

  • Sometimes you just can't guess the domain name of a company you know. Also, it doesn't help that most companies website are fucking nightmare to navigate so having the relevant page on the first click is nice too

  • Well, remember the news when one of those fucker even continue the procedure despite the patient SCREAMING in pain and he just doesn't care?

  • TIL to keep track of units

    Jump

  • Well, ease of use I suppose. Just look at us capable of using basically anything as an energy source. Imagine a machine that is not finicky on how they got their energy. The problem for any such machine will always be efficiency. You cannot do more work than the energy that you put in a system. Such machines will need a stomach that is capable of processing "food" at the same/greater speed that it is spending its energy. Not to mention we usually use machine for heavy, energy intensive task, so I doubt such stomach will be useful for any meaningful machine.

  • I think the commenter mean using artificial stomach for machinery to convert food into energy that the machine can use

  • Maybe It Should Be Illegal To Instantly Delete A Website's Archives - Aftermath

    Jump

  • Hmmm, yeah it gets harder to associate it with physical reality when user generated content is introduced. Maybe an archival of said content is mandated but then again, who is going to serve the archive. In the case of youtube, it would be almost impossible

  • Huh, the difference is that a website is not akin to a public park but privately owned park with or without entrance fee. The owner is nice enough to open the park and let you do whatever you want for free with the cleaning and maintenance is paid by the owner, but when the park is closed, would you still say the owner should still be forced to maintain it?

  • Seeing big companies take advantage of BSD or MIT licensed projects without sharing their contributions will always pain me.

  • An advice from Grandma

    Jump

  • Yeah, but as you said, it is highly dependent on the implementation. Theoretically it is possible that the user is also seeding the previously downloaded/streamed chunk (via WebRTC for example if using a browser). That reminds me of a madlad that stores data on a ping packet (see suckerpinch channel on youtube, specifically his video titled "Harder Drive")

  • I wanted OpenSAGE to mature more quickly so modders of CnC can have a field day with it. This looks like a nice in-between for me

  • TIL Debian releases are named after Toy Story characters

  • I never understood this argument. Why does having common first letter bad? If you mean subjectively then sure, it may not be for everyone, but objectively?

  • The law will then say E2EE is forbidden. And then the next step is making Telegram as a prime example to strip out E2EE because "Look how many bad guys we can catch without E2EE".

  • Maybe slightly related, but does anyone know any good codec (beside FLAC) for ultrasonic recording?

  • Use Zotero

  • Uhhh, they just released the v7 tho?

  • Use Zotero

  • Use zotfile extension (or equivalent since the v7 is not backward compatible) and it'll save your time managing those pesky pdf too.
