I will say that they made a great point, though. The White House, the Trump camp, I mean. They asked why we didn’t care about this so much when Biden was president.
I’d say Trump literally making releasing the files part of his campaign then pulling back as soon as he was elected might play a part…
Yeaaah, doing this would mean the death of anything I enjoy outside of work and the wife and kids.
They’ve been moving more and more out of AOSP into their Play Services for a good while now. However I suspect OP was referring to their announcement that they’ll require developer verification, and apps to be signed with a certificate they issue, for any app install on a verified device (read any device sold with the Play Store). Long story short, no more building and distributing APKs without Google knowing who you are and that your app exists.

You brought up a post that went sideways. Looking in your post history and trying to tie what you’re saying in its context before forming an opinion is a bad thing because…?
I realized my mistake too late. Oh well, let the Genª have some fun.
If that’s what he’s doing, he apparently decided to divinely inspire 6-7 major textual families of the Bible instead.
Am I understanding that Finnish has a way to combine words without being considered to be a compound? My very limited exposure to compound words (through German) was the very idea of mashing the words together made them compound.

Funny. In French, we call it a “pronom impersonnel”, meaning non-personal pronoun.
Eh I’m not hard set on full spec compliance. I use ZSH, it’s not technically POSIX compliant but close enough that I virtually never have to think about it. Technically correct would probably have been “sh derivative” or something.
Pretty much my situation. Work stuff, Windows machine, but Linux/Docker workflow and I refuse to let go of my POSIX shell.
Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.
I think it’s at the very least true in the sense they’re both things many people can’t afford
Gen Z is getting downright worrying at this point. I keep witnessing behaviours and hearing opinions that had practically disappeared since my high school days. I didn’t expect the same ass-backwards bullshit I would have heard some drunk uncle rant about at a family outing when I was a kid, to come out of the mouths of a generation raised in the 21st century. It’s utterly mind boggling. All I can wonder is, who failed to teach them this shit? Were they legitimately raised that way? Who did this, how did it get so bad?
You’ve never put your head under water?
Vance’s liking of Yarvin Curtis’ NRx philosophy, which openly dreams of neomonarchist technocracy[0], Peter Thiel’s funding and support of both Curtis/Nrx and this administration[1][2], this administration’s ties to Project 2025[3], including the lovely Russell Vought[4], hat’s planned in it for the first 6 months of Trump’s term in terms of getting rid of democratic safeguards, dismantling government institutions and concentrating power into the executive[5], is already well under way to execute[6]… Combine all this with the things he’s been doing publically, like aligning with Putin, and threatening Canada’s and Mexico’s annexation over a couple of pounds of fentanyl and the trade agreements he signed himself 9 years ago, the constant barrage of executive orders, many found inconstitutional, but in such a volume that it’s completely overwhelming appeal courts, and Trump directly threatening judges not to cross him… I don’t know how you manage to call any of this “fear mongering”, when it’s all just things they themselves said and did. The only variable I can see here is how you interpret all of this, and I don’t understand how one can both support democracy and think what they’re doing is not completely messing with its very safeguards.

Wait till they officially start calling for a constitutional amendments and they suddenly start losing some of their own rights. But by then who knows what it’s gonna look like.
It’s all gonna hinge on the next couple of weeks/months with Trump, IMHO. His (probably perceived) handling of the situation, and how much he can limit the damage for your average voter will probably dictate the results.
I mean, if you’re ready to ditch an entire OS, your privacy, and deal with all of Windows’ bullshit because of it, I’d say it’s absolutely GTK hatred lol
