It's...in the first paragraph

Today, Judge James Donato issued his final ruling in Epic v. Google, ordering Google to effectively open up the Google Play app store to competition for three whole years. Google will have to distribute rival third-party app stores within Google Play, and it must give rival third-party app stores access to the full catalog of Google Play apps, unless developers opt out individually.

Yes but only through sideloading, this order requires Google to allow third-party app stores to be distributed from within Play Store, i.e. you can search for "F-Droid" from directly within Play Store and install it.

Which also comes with a bit of a positive reputation to truly allow a competitor to rise. Before, non-technical people (read:the average person) saw sideloading as dangerous because of "viruses", which led to low uptake of Epics own store (Which they did try to distribute through sideloading)

Now if an average person sees F-Droid or other app store in the play store they're automatically going to think "It's in the Play Store and vetted by Google so it MUST be safe to check out"

Apple got away with it because they were VERY careful to go up to the line without crossing it as well as careful wording of things, unfortunately.

Can confirm, I just pulled up Epic Games Store from within the MS Store lol

And on top of that, this isn't some startup who has to depend on every dollar, even if you're right @sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works this is fucking Google with a 2 TRILLION DOLLAR market cap they can lose some revenue to make room for some competition even if it's a tad unfair.

That's just the perception with the average person, not that they would actually do it

True, but legal precedents can be nuanced

For example, that whole litmus test with the three questions to determine if something is art or pornographic or obscene was borne out of a legal precedent.

So something similar could come out of this, where it's only applicable if the company in question is X market cap and controlling Y percentage of the market segment or whatever. It doesn't have to nor should be an all or nothing kinda thing

Yea that's exactly it, no more side loading needed.

I work in IT and have implemented quite a few MDM systems. For Android, a work profile will be entirely isolated personal data wise. IT can't see anything beyond the work walls, however, there are a few shared things.

If work enforces a tougher screen lock setting, it'll take precedence over your regular lock screen setting. You might also have a few other things change while it's active, like display time out (if work has a shorter setting).

We can also see certain shared info like device serial number, IMEI number, OS version, security update version etc. Depending on the configuration, GPS/location info can be obtained as well (via an force-installed policy app for example)

You can pause the profile at anytime which suspends ALL work profile app activity (So if there was an app they install that they could get GPS info from, that app would no longer be functional until unpaused again (no it can't "run in the background" and collect info on the background either, it's wholly suspended)) and the pause feature can be set on a schedule so if you have a 9-5 you can set it to that and avoid the whole "always available" problem.

None of the forks are immune to Mozilla enshittifing the engine itself.

Browser engines are complicated beasts, the w3c specifications are thousands of pages and a proper engine would have to implement it all.

It's the reason why not a single chromium fork is able to maintain manifest v2 in defiance of Google, because they would have to then maintain the engine themselves for the most part

Except if they start to enshittify the gecko engine itself, like Google did with Manifest V3. There isn't a fork out there afaik that has the main power and expertise to maintain the complicated beast that is a browser engine

Yea, I wasnt entirely clear, I brought up Manifest v3 as a "this is already complicated, and a browser engine is even more complicated" example

No Chromium fork maintains Mv2 anyways even though it is easier, and yes some do have their own builtin AdBlock and are able to function well that way. But I do not consider that ideal, one would be entirely dependent on their AdBlock implementation where as if a fork maintains Mv2 then you would be able to just change your extension if you don't like something about it

It's a good point, if one truly doesn't know and really is continuing on with life just fine then telling them would I'm effect cause trauma where there was none before

One of the most prolific incidents of unknowing victims in recent years was the case of Reynhard Sinaga, who drugged and raped at least 48 men in Manchester between 2015 and 2017. Almost all the victims had no idea they had been raped until police officers knocked on the door years later.

“It was a moral dilemma,” says Lisa Waters, the former child service manager at St Mary’s sexual assault referral centre, who worked with police on these visits. “You can’t just go in there, tell them what’s happened and drop the bombshell and walk away. You have an obligation to keep people safe.”

Some victims were numb; others were furious. “Why have you told me this?” Waters recalls them asking. “I had no idea that this happened to me. You’ve ruined my life. So why have you told me?” But for other victims, the revelation was a relief.

There's no good answer on this, maybe some sort of initial generic question like "Something bad has happened to you in your past you maybe unaware of, would you like details?"

It would still cause one to worry about that something has happened to them, but at least they would have time to figure out their own best way forward before being bombarded with details

They have to know.

People have an equal right to not want to know something

You missed the part about all the transphobic weirdos unironically declaring "Go woke, go broke" lmao

Someone made a statement that they’d prefer to see development progress from Godot and not sociopolitical ideology.

That's what bigots say when things aren't going their way, they are absolutely also the first ones to spread their own "sociopolitical ideology" (read: toxic bigotry) on unrelated things

Also a lot of your comments here are eerily similar to the transphobic racists on Xitter that I personally saw when I found myself in one of their toxic AF echo chambers

I read it as "I'm at a loss for words." right off the bat before I even realized what it was.

Clearly I have ascended to a higher plane of meme-istance

@kryztofcheski wrote, "Woke studios always use pre-built engines to make games because they can't build their own engines."

LMAO most of the industry runs on a pre-built engine, what a loser

I mean, it still could, there's absolutely no way they're (not for "just" 1.5b anyways) getting online with the rest of the grid in ~30 days

Whether to seek therapy or even go on a path to recovery is their choice to make, are you advocating to force people onto a path of recovery‽

It's true your brain is always processing things, but it's not guaranteed that it'll process it into trauma PTSD or another mental health issue. It's perfectly capable of processing it's way out of major issues. There are plenty of people who have gone through traumatic things both aware and unaware in which they suffered no I'll effect. It happens. That bit of the article I quoted is of one such person.

It's pretty simple really

Detective: "Excuse me, I'm Detective so-so, recently we've come into some information that indicates something traumatic may have occurred in your past, are you ready to hear the details or would you like some time to prepare?"

Person: "WHAT‽ I'm gonna need some time to prepare, I'll contact you when I'm ready"

This'll give those vulnerable time to prepare for a shit storm and those who feel they've already adjusted and would rather not hear about it the opportunity to decline

Your attitude is very much "You need to hear about it no matter what or how well adjusted you are. Oh, your brain was able to process the incident without causing any I'll effect? WELL TOO BAD YOU NEED TO HEAR IT"

Again, not every traumatic incident results in a mental ill effect like PTSD or depression. Some people have more resilient mental stability than others. What of them? What if the disclosure itself is just too much and now they NEED therapy when they could have gone their entire life without worry?

I don't think you read the second half of my original comment

There's no good answer on this, maybe some sort of initial generic question like "Something bad has happened to you in your past you maybe unaware of, would you like details?"

It would still cause one to worry about that something has happened to them, but at least they would have time to figure out their own best way forward before being bombarded with details

No one said it wouldn't be painful lol

Instructions unclear, there is now a banana in my ear.

...I miss old youtube.

Doesn't seem to show for business accounts FYI

105 gigs is nothing, you can get a 1TB external drive for ~60$

I'm getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder

What's wrong with that‽ Join us on the dark side (according to giant corporations anyways), we have milk and cookies!

Frankly, fuck the "industry leaders" it used to be a bunch of small time to MAYBE medium sized owners, now it's a bunch of corporate bastards at the top (the so called industry leaders) like so many other industries

I bet they're all pissy because they aren't getting their demands that probably have something to do like making it harder for small time people to get in on the industry

I think so because of this

But experts like Brucher suggest that most voters have already made up their minds and that the election outcome is “really more about turnout” now.

Which means, Brucher said, that “Democrats really can’t afford to alienate organized labor.”

The strike couldn't happen at a more perfect time IMO, I hope every worker gets the raises they want!

Ok well maybe a beacon of glory is a bit out there for Twitter, but there was a time where it was actually cool and unique.

Like back in the day where you could interact with it over plain SMS lol

I feel old.

Hm, I don't think this has enough JPEG to fully qualify as a shitpost though

means people like trump and Musk are with us forever.

But that would also mean their polar opposites would also be with us forever, the objectively best of us

Says WFH is terrible

Is biggest commerical landlord

Yup, definitely totally unbiased opinion im sure lmfaooo

The motion sensors in your phone are able to pull enough information to determine, with high accuracy, whether or not you're the one behind the wheel.

(X) Doubt

When I got hired to take charge of the IT department, the first thing I did was phase out ALL HP products and then implemented an "Unacceptable and Barred Brands for purchasing" policy with HP right at top.

I lost all trust in their 'Autopilot' the day I read Musk said (Paraphrasing) "All we need are cameras, there's no need for secondary/tertiary LIDAR or other expensive setups"

Like TFYM? No backups?? Or backups to the backups?? On a life fucking critical system?!

And just like that a new side-hobby is born! Seeing which random search boxes are actually hidden LLMs lmao

Might be too high for this, but what??
