World in conflict is so much fun. That form of control dating back from the ground control series feel so good.

Solid info there, thank you.

Third party keyboards no longer accepted by HSBC's banking app. in c/[email protected]

Yeah, I don't really have a reason to stay with HSBC. A responsible me would look for a bank with better credit card interest. Might as well shop around for a new one.

It's possible. First example I can think of is NYT's games app uses their own keyboard. It's clunky, but if someone is concerned (or data hungry) enough for the users security they certainly could.

Of course there will always be some risk. But HeliBoard and some other keyboard apps are open source and can be audited. I'd trust (I know, you should do your own homework) the more popular ones have a lot of eyes in them.

In a recent update to the HSBC app they've added a screen to prevent you from using the app unless you use the default (google) keyboard.

They do a similar thing if you have an accessibility service running that can access the screens content. A fair enough security warning if you've happened to install a dodgy keyboard app, but highly frustrating when using an open source alternative that enhances the security and privacy over the default option (HeliBoard in my case).

I haven't found a way to circumvent the page yet. It would be useful if Android allowed you to block the permission to query all packages, but alas.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. What part of the OS should managed the packages? The creators aka. Microsoft/Linux foundation/Apple/Google, the distributor, or a kernel module? What about cross platform package managers like Nuget, gradle, npm?

What? Surely seeing something popping up on steam and buying it happens far more than someone spontaneously buying a game in a store when walking around town/ a mall.

Maybe I'm a recluse, but I can't remember last time I went into a store that stocks a meaningful amount of games other than second hand shops. Are physical games really that large of a margin anymore?

Okay Satan, calm down.

Yes. Pedantically (as if this is a real language to begin with) it would be "Trick AND NOT Treat".

What was something you learned too late in life? in c/[email protected]

I've never quite gotten into wine either. I like most stouts and porters. Bit anything too hopy in my bear and it's going in the sink. Shame with the whole IPA revolution going on. Other than that cider and cocktails are the only thing I really enjoy consuming. Everything from the sweet Swedish Briska to the most fermented fresh pressed apple cider goes down without much problem.

One of my favorite Let's Play games. I tried to play it myself for 5 minutes before hard noping out. I've become a bit braver since my teens, so maybe I should give it a shot myself some day.

But it's amazing to see just how far you can push HL's engine.
