They don't have it. It's a limited liability company so in this way they will pay only the sum of their assets (=bankruptcy) which is lower than legal expenses against a Goliath and definitely lower than 2.4 million. I'm guessing 1000x lower than the settled amount or they wouldn't have reason to found the LLC in first place or to settle this easy and this fast

The purpose is to trick the user in to clicking the fake link and waste 5 euro for the fake "survey" with those fake waits and fake countdowns leading ultimately to an error 404

From the website:

With Midori Browser you can browse the web with complete confidence and an advanced tracking blocker.

Then the next paragraph states:

Cryptotoken: To reward our users, we are organizing an initiative a Token to give users to use our products and services without tracking.

So it blocks tracking but adds more tracking, so users can buy some shitcoin to remove the tracking?

I'm glad that their forks of simple mobile tools didn't gain traction, then

It's Linux, but worse

It's worse than you thought.

The webmail provider released a dedicated browser that can only open the webmail and called it a "desktop" app.

Additionally, they don't support IMAP. There's an app to run on your computer that becomes a bridge. The proprietary protocol is translated to IMAP. You can't use your favorite client if your operating system can't run that bridge and you're not a premium user because for "reasons" only premium users can run that local bridge

It seems like incorporated in Rhode island around the time Nintendo sued Gary Bowser for the switch modchip

From that post, commits set to UTC+0800 and activity between UTC 12-17 indicate that the programmer wasn't operating from California but from another country starting with C. The name is also another hint.

I'm kinda hoping it was just that a state sponsored attacker showed up on their door and said "include this snippet or else..." otherwise it's terrifying thinking of someone planning some long con like this

We are all relying on the honesty of a few overworked volunteers...

Fuck

So now I have to contact all the family members where I removed the bloatware and replaced with the smt apps, uninstall them before the "just 39 euro per week for adfree" subscription scam starts, find suitable replacements, train people to get used to new icons...

Yes but the reason I purchased from play store (which has the side effect of donating an undeserved 30% to google) was that I could easily share the access with the family without too much effort, just send a link to them 😢

Actually, the guide doesn't mention how to dual boot, it's how to install Linux bare metal as the only os.

Otherwise they wouldn't have removed the possibility to easily boot Linux from the windows boot manager instead of grub

I'd like to set nautilus to show hidden files, but I can't stand the amount of "trash" there's in home

Everyone is thinking "my app is the best, it totally deserves a ~/.myappisthebest directory"

The PS5 doesn't even have a browser because they're scared of exploits

Why not just have some hardened Firefox with auto updates instead of licensing a browser from a company specialized in exploitable browsers for consoles? Nobody uses netfront, why Sony and Nintendo are so obsessed with it?

I'm disappointed, I expected a meme instead it's spam 😢😢😢😢😭😭

This post is ironic, but the united states by showing their muscles and forbidding Huawei to use newer arm CPU designs or x86 chips without a specific export license, let the Chinese government to create a secret multibillion fund for RISC -V development

My iMac on debian does the same, black screen on boot

But in another interview said that they will never support Linux because he thinks that's not possible to detect cheaters (although IMHO they should be detected server side, otherwise it's a cat&mouse game)

If I understand right that means link previews are requested every single time an user sees it? The instance should request it once a week, cache it and serve that to users

A protocol that doesn't exist, so the link wouldn't be clickable and Google indexer wouldn't consider that fake page as valid

It uses an index that really works and doesn't take ages.

It's what search should have been if the windows indexer was written correctly

There's still the feature that allows you to print a PDF even if the print permission is denied?

It's just support, for people that can afford it or want it. The bonus software is all free or foss, the rest are wallpapers or other gnome themes that can be get otherwise

Still, if an user prefers the convenience of using any client instead of e2e, could enable it in a setting. Maybe the user subscribed because they liked the interface and the overall features of the plan, and not because of the encrypted email solution and just wants to add the account on the mobile client instead of a dedicated app

Being closed like this IMHO is just to increase user retention

Xrdp server enabled with a toggle instead of messing with the terminal for 1 hour seems unique

My iMac is gathering dust. It can't run Debian due to proprietary video shit, so all I get is a black screen at boot. Tried fedora and my USB mouse doesn't work at boot, I have to unplug and replug every single time. Who knows what kind of proprietary assholery they did to the USB stack

I should just sell it but I'm keeping it for "what if one day I need to open some iWork files?" - although i already proven a month ago that it would not correctly open iWork documents created with the latest version

Unrelated, I really like the idea that the author of that blog post to place the favicon near each link

It just opens the web app

Ah. The way they wrote that seemed an exclusive...

Nice for gnome, so, when I wanted to set xrdp on debian a couple years ago I cried and almost gave up.

From mobile it's an incredible hassle to choose "English" hidden in a list with 5000 obscure languages. There should be an option to reduce the list to the 2-3 languages I can speak

They're talented in nostalgic acquisitions.

They got WinZip, ulead video studio, intervideo winDVD, Roxio toast, Pinnacle video editor, Bryce, Ventura Publisher.

So the Xbox one series (aka Xbox one 2) has zero dedicated games?

Reading this comment seems like they cater the Japanese market and the rest of the world is an afterthought

The bridge Is "open" but somehow it works only for premium users.

They call them surveys but at the end of the 100 fake questions they ask a credit card for "verification" - at that point you're silently forwarded to a different website where you subscribe to a scam service at 49 euro / month with a 7 day trial for 1 euro. This fine print is written in grey on a grey background, the victim at this point is tired to read from the 100s of fake questions and just says yes to everything. Chrome credit card auto fill helps the process by requiring just one extra click instead of typing the numbers. The user just want that manual/game/document and ran out of patience from fake countdowns and fake loading bars "checking if the file is available"

And Nintendo proved this right by making successful games on underpowered systems. The switch it's basically an Android tablet from last decade sold with crazy markup but talented game designers make compelling games

Sure, in the store they have 3rd party do lazy shitty ports like this https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/jello-run-switch/ but I feel it has more interesting games than the photorealistic ones on PS5, except the masterpieces by insomniac studio, but those can also be played on PS4 or PC

OMG always assumed that -c always stands for "compress" and I always placed .gz at the end to remember to place -x when extracting

I wouldn't have paid for, but i would have accepted much better. "API usage is ad free hence only premium users can access it" is much better than "API users are freeloaders that take more than they are giving, fuck them!"

Or serve a gzip bomb (is that possible?)

On mobile you're forced to use their "open source" app that is only available on the closed source app stores and not on fdroid because it uses Google push services
