Does the webpage say anything about the extension being unavailable or something? I don't know if stable Firefox has that one enabled. I use Nightly which had allowed all extensions for a long time and idk about Stable
You think compiling a binary with a different toolchain and system paths is the same as exploiting a made up security vulnerability linked to a game for some reason. I'm done wasting my time here. /system/bin/uname -s prints Linux, that's enough.
Yeah but for e.g. the notification and quick panel, you need to modify the System UI app. It's like everything below the top panel in GNOME is replaceable lol
Like ability to install different desktop enviroment?
Technically, with root access, yeah. It's just that Android's UI isn't a DE/WM in the desktop Linux sense
Almost all apps store settings in easy to backup .config folder.
And same for Android app data with root access. /data contains, well, data of apps and the general system. Sure, it's not the same as on desktop Linux, but it's still possible to modify, copy, delete with root access. Every app is a different Linux user on Android, and that's also just different from desktop Linux.
To me, you're just pointing out differences due to the software architecture of both OSes.
AOSP is fully Apache-2.0 licensed except for the Linux kernel, so only their kernel changes would have to be. It's also an important reason why Android was/is so successful.
Don't use apps with ads then? Or set up an ad blocker.
Root access, that is, being admim of your own device.
That's just how most Android versions are shipped. It's still technically possible to get root access, and really enjoy every privilege of Linux. Not all devices allow using a custom OS though, sadly
As is, the current GNOME is unusable to me without extensions because they refuse to implement support for appindicators. You literally cannot use applications that minimize to tray on vanilla GNOME right now.
They have been talking about adding their own protocol for years but that is of no use when things are broken right now.
So what, just use the extension. Currently no cross-desktop API for systrays that doesn't suck in one or another way exists, so GNOME doesn't have support for them. If you care that much about not using an extension, implement it for yourself.
Some JetBrains IDEs are fully open source. Does Adobe have anything like that?
