We call that bullshit where I come from. Either it’s historical or it’s fiction. Fiction can be done in an historical setting, but is never historical itself.
An open not maintained system is worst than a well maintained but closed one. There are billions of $ behind window and macos. Some critical package on Linux are maintained by 2 guys during their spare time...
I used droid-ify recently, which is well maintained and still got these pop up. Are you sure we’re talking about the same thing ? I mean pop up that says « would you like to install x app ». Yes no. And you got to give permission to the store first to even show this pop up.
Exception to the rule ??
I’d argue you have no idea how many times it succeeded because that’s the point. We only know what failed, if this worked I have no doubt that companies running Pegasus which have hundreds of millions of dollar of budget every year can success.
Open source when not maintained properly is fundamentally flawed, there just need one weak element in the chain, one package maintained by a handful of people on their own time.
There are differences between play store and other store. For instance, on fdroid you have a pop up asking each and every time if you want to install or update the app after pressing install button. Play store you just click install and let it do its work in the background.
I don’t think fdroid can update app by itself in the background. Play store can.
I mean third party store doesn’t have access to some of the api play store have, things you don’t care but that is important to normies and that would induce reduced profit from epic store.
It's not so much that I'm praising apple but that I'm criticizing android manufacturers. You can make it as much repairable as you want, if you stop updating after 2 year it's as good as dead.
I know we could have bought her a pixel, but they got their own issue. And not so much repairable.
Samsung back in these time, it was 2 year update too and Im not sure even today they keep updating their low end phone for much longer than that. Wouldn't buy a s23 for a grandma that only makes call and some internet search. 😀
We know what snowden does, and this guy is targeted by the usa. Basically never use phone, only computer on ethernet running qubesos from external drive on computer bought with cash.
Well Say whatever about apple but my grandma is running an iPhone 5 for years, replaced the battery from a third party repair shop last year and it keep working absolutely perfectly. There was absolutely no issue finding someone to replace it and it costs 40€.
But yeah, if we had bought her a shity android third grade phone, support would be long gone and the thing barely working. Would have bought one or two other phone in the meantime.
There is no denial a.i. is going to replace or significantly reduce some jobs. But I predict it's going to happen mostly in bullshit job like marketing, advertisement, the kind of journalism that repeat the same news from other reputed newspaper.
A.i. isn't going to replace the migrants that lay bricks in front on me, it's not going to replace their chief.
Apple arm chips still have good days ahead of it. It’s been years since the MacBook m1 was released, how can competition not catch up already ?

Holy fuck, every time: one line answer, no explanation, just Insults. Find someone to fck instead of crying on the internet.

Your dumbass should check XZ Backdoor.
It was open source, yet only blind luck led a Microsoft developer to uncover it. It would have gone in most Linux installation otherwise.
All because of an unpopular package that was maintained by a very few people.

Yeah you're right, Forgot about this use case.
Oh my god you're so right. Thanks for enlightening us.

It's not a secret by now.
Linux on phone is great for privacy but can you say that on security ?? It's open source, not very popular. We've seen how it can go wrong recently.
Id put it in third after grapheneos. But the end result is that it's not suitable anyway.

doesn't most vpn user want to get rid of tracking and spying ? It would makes no sense for them to use Google vpn.

Is Mozilla going to set qwant as default search engine ? Or at least stop setting Google as default ?
If no, then this is just PR crap no one should care about. Not that many people care about Firefox anyway (2% market share nowadays).
