I'm just glad there are companies that are trying to optimize current tech rather than just piling over new hardware every damn year with forced planned obsolescence.

Though the claim is absurd, I think double the performance is NEAT.

Check if you have resistfingerprinting config turned on in about:config. It being on picks the light color scheme by default. Mull has this privacy feature on by default and while the extension detects there is a dark color scheme, the config forces light (bright) color scheme.

Why the change of heart at tha last sentence?

Be the change you want to see. Make some games worth playing and release it as a FOSS and prove it can be a commercial success as well. See how it goes.

Asking people to release their work for free while providing very little incentives other than your own benefit aren't going to convince people who need to put food on the table NOW, without relying on miniscule probability of popularity or success after pouring years of your time.

When most of the source of innovation in your country is brain-drain from other countries, but then those countries start fostering their own economy, so smart people want to stay.

Downvoting it isn't going to make it go away.

hey, don't invade other countries mkay?

Considering recent history, you'd better say that to US more, don't you think? or is it that your country is free to invade other countries but others doing the same is where you start considering human rights?

Talk about hypocrisy. fuckin hell, read a history book.

Plus they steal technology and ideas from every company manufacturing there.

Stealing is the norm for every developed nation. They didn't just spin out of nowhere and became a super-power. Heard anything about hiring literal Nazis for space program? Does that count as unethical or stealing for you?

No?

I mean Nazis are bad, right? They were supposed to pay for what they did. But not these ones, these were the "good ones", so it's fine?

What about tech and knowledge stolen from colonial eras? Too old? it was the norm, not relevant anymore, it's okay when we did it or any other bs reason you come up with. However, doing the same now is unethical because the colonials created the "WTO" to protect their interests, but others arent playing your game, you're losing, and it's just not fair?

It's fine when you steal tech and talent (even if they were helped cause genocide) and US isn't shy supporting Israel do genocide again.

But as soon as other country uses what's made made available to them, use spies, and steals, It's unethical. The IPs that few countries arbitrarily created after looting through the whole world? How fucking convenient, eh?

Suck it!

I don't particularly like China but it's hilarious to think they'd be western puppet and do as they were told forever. Every other nation would do the same if roles were reversed.

Yeah, thousands of tabs seems extreme. But "you should dedicate a larger amount of time and effort all day, every day to make the computer's job easier" is a bad take.

Computers don't magically make things easier, it just does as it is told(as instructed by code). Computers don't come out as a self-made human assistant that adapts to your personal needs and can magically do anything you want.

If it's so much of a burden that smarter people haven't figured it out, go at it. You might just fix it.

But "to make computer's job easier" is the dumbest shit I've heard in a while.

I can't believe people construed the lack of this feature in a brand new software as bad Canonical want to kill deb!

Most loud mouth open source enthusiasts are often toxic entitled choosing beggars. If any of their desires are not met, the project is dying or dead even though the statistics say otherwise.

Fork it and fix things you want to make it better?

No way bro. I want someone else to work on the feature I requested one year ago.

Browser updates on iOS devices are tied to system updates and people put off a system update longer that an app update. So no, not as safe as OTA updates independent of the OS, as they are on every other god damn operating system.

Didn't you know if someone doesn't find anything new in their niche kink fetish content anymore, then "Reddit is dying"? Same with niche forums with about 100 users. No more posts?

REDDIT IS DYING

Those updates are easy when you have to release an system update to update the safari browser. Hell, you could call it a major security fix and fix some security issue on an old phone and every fanboy would be like "OMG iPhone 3s got an update.🤤" whereas Google can just ship browser fixes over the app store.

And version history means jack all when you can just name releases as you please. Google has been doing the same thing last 5-10 years. Emoji mixers, magic cleaner, launcher with google search bar at the bottom, turning a toggle into a big button on nav bar, enabling aren't major updates. Sure there are underlying changes, but they're mostly security patches and bugfixes. Android is still a bloated mess that needs ungodly amount of RAM and processing to keep even few apps running reliably in the background.

And guess where did Google learn this deceptive "long term update support" trend from?

The only thing they'll need is to decouple chrome and require a system update, and they could be providing updates for a decade.

It's likely now your device does the initial processing of your data (store, categorize, and disseminate) and the aggregate is sent through as telemetry. They save on processing costs and users think it's privacy friendly.

But it's Google we're talking about here and smartphones are more than capable these days.

Developers also need to make money to live and survive. Why do you think you're entitled to all of their work for free? If it's such an inconvenience, you should try your hand at coding an alternative and giving all of it for free. We're waiting.

This can't be stressed enough.

Your personal preferences are not the problem of the FOSS community. If it's a problem for you, fork it and do as you please.

I get your point, but I don't think the ones who protest are the ones vacationing in a luxury island. I assume majority of them are rich or spoilt assholes.

It’s either “China is bad” or “Apple is bad

porque no los dos?

Why do you think they picked the guy as the CEO?

It's all free market until they can no longer compete. Then it's time to get down and play dirty.

Now it would be bloody awesome if someone would leak how their data collection in Android works and how much of their privacy policy is actually not just for good PR.
