  • They're applying the techbro startup "move fast and break thing" motto, which can be a good strategy while you're small to disrupt the established players.

    Not souch when you're a behemoth like the goverment that can't adjust its trajectory on a whim when facing an imminent collision, and the general public ends up with the short stick while the oligarchs picks up the pieces of a self-sabotaging system.

  • VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them

    Jump

  • The only time it paid off for me was for VPN Unlimited and Plex and even then, I barely use the former and Plex is being enshittified.

  • Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection

    Jump

  • That and the process of being audited for your app to gain access to Google Drive is apparently a nightmare on top of being super expensive.

    No wonder so many apps don't even bother adding the ability to sync files with like Joplin.

    I hope the EU eventually crack down on that bullshit.

  • People with non-rooted phones won’t get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle.

    Not true if the app to update targets a high enough API version (I think API 34 or 35) and if you use F-Droid Basic.

    NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

  • CJ didn't vote for this

  • Is Cj going to vote Dems or someone else at the next election? Yeah, I didn't think so.

  • VMware perpetual license holders receive cease-and-desist letters from Broadcom

  • Broadcom is where previously good softwares go to die.

    Proxmox, Nutanix, Canonical and Incus must be quite happy with the new customers.

  • CrowdStrike Announces Layoffs Affecting 500 Employees

  • That July 2024 outage must have hit their forecast pretty hard. Best wishes to those affected :(

  • How long can you track a Pixel after a thief has powered it off? I tested it to find out

    Jump

  • TL;DR: The first test was a total disaster and my phone wasn't located until an hour after it was back next to me.

  • One more reason to not put all of your social media eggs in the same basket.

  • TM Signal

    Jump

  • That's the point of digitally signing the app, to ensure its authenticity and integrity. TM and others wouldn't be able to resign the modified app with the Signal Foundation signature.

    EDIT: Yeah after thinking more about it it's not a trivial problem, as you need to assume that the endpoint is inherently untrusted.

  • TM Signal

    Jump

  • At the moment you can't. The only realistic way I could see that happening is if the servers would check the app's digital signature and refuse the app from communicating with the official infrastructure if it didn't match.

  • Markdown and the Slow Fade of the Formatting Fetish

    Jump

  • And another great thing about Markdown: if the system doesn't "support" it, it's still totally readable. The formatting doesn't get in the way of readability.

  • Do you count Bluesky as the Fediverse? Why?

    Jump

  • Partially, just because there is the ability to bridge it (ex: https://fed.brid.gy/), but I expect them to pull the rug at some point.

  • I still use vous when speaking to strangers in general, and it's mandatory to use vous when speaking in french to a superior in the Canadian Forces.

  • ISO 8601

    Jump

  • Acquiring the document (legally) to ensure compliance for ISO 8601 is relatively expensive for a single person (~$200 USD), while RFC 3339 is accessible for free.
