  • Apple Reportedly Moving Ahead With Ads in Maps App

    Jump

  • Waze is now also Google. Apple can and does extract/extort lots rent/ransom from Google. OSM doesn't have the pockets. They, like lots of FOSS, undermine the whole scheme.

  • After that, Apple would ban OSM apps from their store.

  • Snap. The problem is you never forget. It's PSD.

    "OK, OK, enough. I can't watch you ham fist this anymore. The reason it says file not found is a DLL it needs isn't found. There used to be this tool, DependencyWalker. Ah there still is. There you go, you are missing that DLL. A search will show us... Yep... That is what we need to install. Oh look it runs."

  • No they work. It's not like LineageOS. Both Bank apps I now need, work on GrapheneOS but did not on LineageOS. It is my compromise without being compromised.

  • And the politically sane should be pushing back hard. If you can legally have misinformation labelled "news" we have a massive problem.

  • It's very simple. You can not call yourself "news" and not come under news regulations.

  • Scale is everything here. That the problem.

  • Far-right AfD party fails to secure first German city mayor post in run-off

    Jump

  • Yeah, I broadly agree. I think a lot of the issue is inequality that has been only getting worse since 2008.

  • The source? Well I've always suspected some of that is Russia. MAGA too, but they get a load Russian support too. I think it's online bot farms as much as just out right corruption/donations/lobbying. When Ukraine defeats Russia, I wonder what knockons it will have.

  • Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses

    Jump

  • Same problems though. If you run something odd ball like Ubuntu, the banking apps won't work and you may struggle to have a satnav with traffic info. If you run stock Android, you will soon only be able to install, sorry, "side load", apps Google approves.

  • Me too, but the lords of Technofeudalism, backed by government, won't allow that forever. Maybe on PCs, but not phones. No "side loading" what they don't approve. Banks and co, only allowing their apps on approved OSs. No satnav traffic data unless you use an approved satnav, rendering them useless.

    The problem isn't technological, it's political. We need decent government protecting citizens and enforcing competition laws. The problem is the population don't understand what is being done to them, so don't vote against it.

    None of it is new. Liberty vs security, monopoly, etc, aren't new, but wrapping it in technology blinds most people to it.

  • There are groups to support:

    And in the UK:

    Some political groups are better than others, but most politicians are clueless.

    The key is to get muggles to understand we are living in Technofeudalism and why being digital serfs is bad. The problem is ineffective competition law and that monopolies are bad. That monopolies and standards are not the same thing. I have no idea how. Most people are just naturally compliant and unquestioning of something seemingly so abstract.

  • "Huge reward to terrorism": Netanyahu lashes out after UK, Canada recognize Palestinian state

    Jump

  • A single state solution would be lovely, but after Germany, you can see why Jews want a country of their own. However, none of that gives an excuse to take more land from neighbors. Let alone doing their own ethnic cleansing in that land.

  • Germany existed before and after the Nazis. Israel wasn't always ruled by extremists and should be there when they are gone.

    It's a shame Palestine and Israel are divided by religion, but as an atheist, maybe I'm not going to get it.

  • "Huge reward to terrorism": Netanyahu lashes out after UK, Canada recognize Palestinian state

    Jump

  • We need to be a bit careful with "from the river to the sea" as to many in Israel, that is a call for Israel's destruction.

    It's not Israel or Palestine that can exist. We want them both to exist, in peace. Angry at Israel's genocide though we all are, few are calling for Israel to cease to exist. That's what Israel is doing to Palestine.

  • Banksy could be unmasked as police probe 'criminal damage' over Royal Courts of Justice artwork

    Jump

  • Interesting. "The value of the damage." I'd say it's pretty likely the Banksy worked increased the value of the wall, if not the whole property. So is that negative damage? The people who decreased the value where those who tried to clean off the artwork.
