Can someone clarify: according to Murena’s website, they use /e/OS, which is what they call “degoogled” Android. I would assume degoogled means no Play Store. If that’s the case, what’s going to happen next year, when Google starts blocking installing .apks by unverified developers? Which, I’m assuming, is a good chunk of developers who have apps on F-Droid.
I watched two episodes before bouncing off hard. No idea how it got as popular as it did, because the jokes were just low effort and lazy.
I’m going off of a article by TechRadar, but essentially: yes. This isn’t about breaking encryption as I initially thought, though that seems to have been the goal when the same law was proposed (and rightfully rejected) in 2022. Rather, the new revision is about making encryption utterly pointless through the virtue of scanning all messages on your device, as you suggested. At least that’s my read on the situation.
Only material that is clearly child sexual abuse will be searched for and can be detected.
Uh-huh. And how do you search for something specific without decrypting everything first? This is fucking embarrassing.
Jerry Seinfeld’s opinions are as relevant as his comedy is funny.
What did you expect from a mentally declining geriatric? He probably had Chipotle on his mind, too.
Tell me about it.
Google seems to think that unauthorized apps on android devices are most prevalent in the four countries mentioned.
I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you’re doing better now.
The way I’m understanding it is, some F-Droid apps will still work, but their developer would have to be “verified”, whatever that entails. I’m not sure what will happen if one tried to installed an app with an unverified developer, but it probably won’t be anything good.
Whatever the case, this won’t affect most of us (sorry Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand) until 2027. I have a phone running LineageOS and will continue to use it until it gives out, but my next phone will definitely not be running android, because I am so done with this crap.
Also gambling.
I can’t believe I completely forgot about the gambling aspect, good call. The trailer for NBA 2k20 was especially disgusting in this regard.
FIFA, NBA, Madden or any popular sports game, really. Just to start off, I don’t like sports games in general, but that’s on me. The part I don’t understand is the level of hype for each new iteration when for the last decade it’s been the same game with the same engine, same effects, slightly different roster and sometimes even missing features. Like, what are people excited for exactly? More of the same?
Nah, I’m no quick learner. In fact, it took Google screwing up multiple times before I decided to delete my account. I was just less tolerant to their mistakes than most people, I suppose.
I lack the wit, so I can’t rhyme for shit.
Some ornithologists seeing this comment will be very disappointed.
Deleted my google account about 10 years ago. No “experiences” to speak of, you just have to go in knowing that you’ll lose online access to everything Google: mail, calendar, youtube, etc. But that’s what Google Takeout is for.
As for your last question: No, I don’t. Lack of trust is why is wiped my Google account in the first place.
Wow, same banner and everything. The BBC article has more material, too. Thanks for spotting this.
Hey, baby. Are you a traffic light? Because I’m getting mixed signals.
Old joke, but:
Nietzsche is dead.
