Inkscape is good but it can't replace illustrator, especially for the needs of someone willing to pay $1000/year for it

Maybe the affinity suite is more appropriate (ROI in just 2 months of adobe subscription)

For fdroid the app is compiled on fdroid servers when dev tags a new release on GitHub. So the app matches the source, it's not possible to put a tainted APK to download

Now, if the malicious code is slowly added to the source over the course of an year like it happened with the xz utils, this won't change the result, but it's easier to do so with a compiled binary. Release clean source and infected binary, it will take a longer time to get caught

For the closed source app stores, on iOS there's the manual inspection (which is not infallible especially if they timebomb or geofence the bad feature) and for Google there's the automated inspection (which fails often seeing the news) that should find problems

No it's a thin layer of steel hot glued to a plastic shell

AND complete it 1-2 months before release date to allow manufacturing and shipping.

They complete it 1-2 months AFTER release date now...

The worst part is that it's technically possible to do that using the bd-live 2.0 specification

When I saw the process to add Google drive support to an app I thought: "wouldn't be easier to just discontinue the public APIs?"

If I was a dev I would immediately remove the integration instead of paying the required thousands (yearly!) to keep it. Then in the app explain the situation to the customer, add a referral link to Dropbox, onedrive or other competitors

You get apps a couple days earlier

But it comes with a huge downside: if dev goes rogue or gets hacked, you could install a malicious version of the app that doesn't match the source

How the hell you can capture 160 kg of live crabs and put them alive in six luggages thinking that nobody would smell it?

But then they counted how many zeroes there were on the check, and suddenly they were totally fine in assisting genocide

I see it as a donation rather than a real "pro" version as a single terminal command can transform "lite" to "pro"

This is pure speculation, the language in the t&c describes what happens now: the console and/or the account gets banned from online gaming

It's almost more shocking that the library allowed to check out all those books. There can't be a legitimate reason to do so, even if he said he needed to reference them all for a thesis or something like that

how the hell someone can use pinterest for more than one hour a week? Just accidentally browse it when trying to search an image on the web and curse the ux team to have hidden the download button in a way that you click the image and brings you in a completely unrelated site with 10000 images except the one you wanted

LOL i thought "my 64gb iphone se 3 is enough, 32gb is gonna be enough" - while i completely forgot that the 64gb iphone was already small, in order to install ios 18 i had to wipe-install-restore because it was impossible to free enough memory

Am I wrong or is the same person making fun of the ridiculous censorship rules on Reddit while enforcing similar ridiculous censorship rules on their own .ml instance?

It automatically encrypts the drive only if admin has a Microsoft account (to backup the key on their cloud servers for easier LEO access data recovery) and the PC is a prebuilt

If one of the condition is not met, the automatic ransomware isn't enabled

The decryption key is saved in the Microsoft account, the error message explains that

I also almost got a panic attack when my Lenovo updated the bios and i was locked out

I don't understand, signal is open source, why would they need to purchase an unofficial fork from a foreign company? Isn't that an huge security issue?

And what's the point of using end to end encryption if the app has been hacked to send messages to a remote server anyway

You don't need to put the "by their standards"
