  • Termux has been a thing for years.

    Termux is not a full linux environment, you need proot (slow) or chroot (insecure) to get a full environment.

  • Very exciting stuff, Really hope wayland gets hooked up. if not, well, we can make it work somehow

  • Don't get me wrong. I love Aurora store. I love what they do and I donated a couple all the counts that I no longer use to them. But that does not mean I believe that this move is correct at all in any way.

    Putting aside the extremely slippery slope of forcing Google to allow app stores on their store, You have actually rather significant security issues too because of the catalog.

    This means any app store that is now can now download the apps, patch them with great features or malicious features and serve them as legitimate.

    Security has already been such a massive headache because no matter what you do, you just can't stop people from shooting themselves in the foot. But Android, that's their target market and they need to do their best. And this is going to be such a massive issue. Now they did say individual apps can opt out but quite frankly I doubt many are going to unless their applications like banking apps which are almost definitely going to because attestation is extremely important for stuff like that.

    Pardon me if I said anything that doesn't make sense, I am using Speech to text.

  • I don't agree with this. Anybody can send a link right to the APK or even a QR code. The Epic Game Store could have a nice button right there that says install it and boom, you're installed and off to the races. And unless you're doing that Samsung bullshit, it'll just work on the vast majority of devices after you click one pop-up box.

    I honestly don't know anybody who couldn't do that. Unless it is Samsung because Samsung does have that new bullshit.

    It's one thing because you have to know about fdroid. You have to go explicitly look for fdroid, someone and so forth. But if you're epic and you're trying to push people to your game store, you're going to have it right on your front page.

  • Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

    what the fuck. I don't like google, I run fully Foss, and only recently installed microG, but I don't agree with this garbage.

    It's easy enough to install any third party appstore. I don't agree with this at all.

  • *code blocks are broken and have a fairly degraded UI *accounts and settings are hidden behind a show accounts that's terrible to reach with one hand. *the new sidebar is also terrible to use with one hand *settings is also hidden behind show accounts.

    these are the issues I remember off hand, I already deleted the app

  • Try it at the other day. Not gonna lie, it seems like a total downgrade versus K9. I'll not be upgrading.

  • If they get dinit i'll probably try it

  • Of course it isn't right. When did this become right or wrong? It's about traumatic or not. There are lots of things in life you have to deal with that aren't right. They're very wrong oftentimes, but you deal with that. Being traumatized over something like that is just insane.

    I would get being upset with it maybe for a couple days. But having a long lasting mental injury because you got handcuffed is... Impressively weak.

  • I'm not sure whether that being traumatic is a good thing or a bad thing, but if something like that is the extent to which someone could get trauma, I can only suspect they have lived quite the good life I suppose.

  • I don't mind being called a bootlicker. Police have saved my life before, and they've saved the lives of people I deeply care about. I have also seen policemen, who have helped peoplle out get attacked. I genuinely hope you are never put in a poosition where police have to save your life, But if they do one day, I hope you'll change your mind.

  • Removing another person’s bodily autonomy under direct threat of violence is just another day for police, but for the rest of us it’s a pretty fucking traumatic thing to be on the other end of.

    I don't think it's traumatic at all if the police handle it right, as I predicated earlier. Police in most cases don't need to throw you to the ground, don't need to scream at you etc. It does happen yes, and it absolutely shouldn't happen unless there is an extremely good reason for it. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm specifically saying, if the police handle it right, it's not traumatizing nor humiliating

  • Too much stock? Your bodily autonomy is being removed, under overt threat of further violence if you resist. It’s humiliating if seen in that condition because of assumptions people make. For someone who has done nothing wrong why the fuck wouldn’t they be indignant?

    Perhaps if you don't understand what police officers go through, I could see it. People do make assumptions yes, but those assumptions go away pretty damn quickly when people see you being uncuffed too.

    Me too, and I knew that they at least had a reason to think I was up to no good (I was not), it’s not the same as literally minding your own business in your own home and having them barge in. Not really apples to apples to this situation here.

    Perhaps I'm guilty of omission, if you were cuffed and thrown to the floor for no reason, I could understand being angry, however if you are explained why you are being detained which as I said, I think this case was handled right, can't say I understand german so perhaps i am mistaken, there is no reason why you should feel humiliated.

    every time I have witnessed, or was handcuffed myself, the reasons were always explained, specifically in my case, I was told I was being detained and restrained for the safety of the first responders.

  • If you feel humiliated because you have been placed in handcuffs, That's really just a personal issue. How is it a form of public humiliation? It's a safety precaution. Anyone who doesn't understand that safety comes first should be the ones feeling humiliated.

    I myself have never once felt dehumanized, nor humiliated being placed in handcuffs. Yeah people will assume you have done wrong, that sucks, but people will really quickly change their minds when you aren't put head first into the back of a cop car. Personally I would feel 100% more humiliated if an officer looked at me, and thought he didn't need to cuff me :/

  • To be clear, handcuffing does not mean you're being arrested, it means you're being detained. It's not about them getting you ready to take you away. It's about them verifying that you're not a threat.

    Whatever the claim was, whatever the claim was. Being bogus obviously, but it was bad enough that the police felt they had the need to break in and clear before proceeding any further, which means they were probably told he was a threat.

    I always felt like people put too much stock into being handcuffed or not, yet it sucks. I've been handcuffed before, In a similar but not nearly as severe circumstance.

    It's not meant as a punishment. It is just protecting the officers who arrive on scene because yes, people do cooperate and then they pull out of knife or gun and try to kill the first responders.

  • I strongly disagree with this. Police should be given permission to do these things. Very rapidly with little evidence so long as they're handled right.

    In fact, this is one of those cases where it looks like it was handled right. He went to the door, came in, and it sounds like they were invited in. He was not arrested immediately and thrown to the ground. Yes it sucks, But there are very much very many cases where it is absolutely necessary.

    Rather than them not being able to do it, I absolutely believe they should be allowed to do it. Just be more strict on how it's handled.

  • One of the ones we had to take out. I'm still mad because it wasn't even that bad. It was a massive really long function that should have been refectored but kept getting put off. The comment was along the lines of

    // TODO: take this fat bitch to the gym later.

    Had to get removed because insensitive, well the function finally got refactored at least lol.

  • no? It was just normal common stuff... Pretending like standards Haven't changed, even if just for code comments, is just plain dumb.
