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…

Holy fuck, every time: one line answer, no explanation, just Insults. Find someone to fck instead of crying on the internet.
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.
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.
Oh my god you’re so right. Thanks for enlightening us.
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.
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).
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.
When commenting on Reddit I always make sure to write garbage i would say in a bar, not something actually useful to anyone.
If there is somewhere a LLM trained on this data, good luck 🫡
Meanwhile on Lemmy, it’s only high tier philosophical thought.
Do the same, fuck Reddit. 🤣
That’s hilarious.
Castaneda also noted that the company (Google) will now pay “zero” dollars as part of the settlement after earlier facing a $5 billion penalty.
I can that a win (for Google).
i see the downvote but you got to admit companies tend to follow whatever apple decides to do. Remember how we used to have headphone jack before apple removed it ? remember the numerous android phone with a big notch (pixel was the winner here) after iphone switched to faceid ? Remember the focus on privacy from google after apple made it’s pop up about not being tracked between apps ? I probably forgot others, but whatever succesfull (or not) apple does, other companies follow. always has been.
M1 arm macbook have been a quite a hit for apple, very successfull. Guess what, it probably pushed competition to make their own, but they couldn’t because who the hell can make their own processor and then force almost the entire developper on their operating system to write software for it ? Even if we get arm windows laptop, good luck getting most of your software to run on arm. You’d be lucky to even get big ones like photoshop. everything will be run through translation layer, will sucks performance and battery.
Europe already did. That’s just usa kind of catching up, if it ever success.
What you mean? I’m saying Mozilla associating with them is bad rep, whatever if they backpack a month later.
trust takes years to build but it can evaporate in seconds. mozilla associating with these people is very bad rep, won’t help them develop further.
Until it’s you who get wrongfully put in jail, but I get the point. I think everyone agree it’s better now and also they should do everything they can to speed up the release of innocent people.
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.
