I'd rather not use iOS at all. Android is infinitely more customizable, powerful, and privacy friendly (with the right OS).
On the topic of your braindead take in this. Make iOS open source first. It's almost like opensource breeds interoperability and closed source breed cultists who think they're better by default.
With how US and Israel carry out their strikes as "affiliated", it just comes off as "I felt like it". Did we forget how they just bombed civs for fun in Iraq/Afghanistan with no repercussions at all.
I’m convinced though that if we want Linux on phones to become an option for everyone, there’s no way around the need for well-integrated support for Android apps
I’ve documented the reverse engineering work on this Github repo, including a very rough step-by-step manual of how to run things.
I was looking for the same thing when I accidentally deleted a video from Google Photos app a month back. I didn't find any opensource ones, so I ended up using one from the playstore. Tried a few and turned off wifi before opening them, because I was sure they were going to have a lot of ads and generally don't want anything uploaded without me knowing.
One app worked (I don't even remember the name), then deleted it right away.
They weren't lying when they said "Might makes right"
In this age of Internet, they still control the narrative, even with so much evidence brought to light. If you don't seek it out, it seems like nothing noteworthy is going on.
History is still mostly written by the victor, with truth waning in the distance. The victor being evil never mattered. "Human rights" these countries exclaim so often doesn't extend when their kins are doing the killing.
This is essentially some good PR to lower the bad PR they're getting. The damage is already done, whatever narrative they were pushing worked. Now they get to say "We did bad things and we're aware of it. We have an oversight board and we have a system in place. We pinky promise we will continue to improve how we handle these things in future."
Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation. This is going to be real handy for users on Windows Home. I'm guessing once the server is installed, one can connect to it from any RDP client, without needing the wfreerdp client, right?
So this is an open-source server implementation of Windows RDP which I could install in Windows home builds and access it through RDP access client elsewhere?
Does the device boot up completely? did you have usb debugging enabled? Is your from PC approved to use USB debugging?
If your PC is already allowed to used adb, you could try scrcpy to see if you can get the screen to mirror.
If your PC isn't approved for USB debugging, you could try using a mouse through the USB port. You might need an OTG cable for this. I'm not actually sure about this as I haven't tried this myself but a mouse should work as I've heard.
Advertising privacy does fuck all when Apple has been allowing the government to read push notifications. Where does that promise fit in, while they knowingly supply what the government wants and then still market itself as a privacy friendly company?
It's almost like when you move your manufacturing to other countries, you get to reduce your own carbon footprint and get to pat yourself on your backs.
If you use on android apps from the playstore, most apps are built to relay their notifications through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), so they don't have to have a background notification listeners running 24/7. It also means less overhead from multiple notification listeners from every app having its own. So yes, if an app is built on top of google play services, it requires "google play services"
If an app says it doesn't rely on google play services, it uses an alternative notification listener or websockets, which might not be as effective, because Google is inbuilt and won't kill its own apps, the scale of its infrastructure, and its habit of listening on people's activity.
Add in Androids habit of killing background services, and you don't always get your notification when the app isn't in the foreground.
Even Signal from Playstore uses Google Play Services for notifications.
