This is what always springs to mind to me.
Valve has a vested interest in keeping the Steam Deck 1 up-to-date even after they eventually release the 2.
Can we say the same about ASUS? And what about the smaller OEMs? Aya Neo has 14 handhelds out for gods' sake
Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
These people don't fucking see the light urrghhhhhhhh
Opt-out? I see it's time for the seasonal Manjaro fuck up.
The real question is: and????
So we're harvesting demonic forces to power our shit?
That's fuckin' metal duuuuude. If you're trying to make nuclear sound bad you failed.
Is fluoride the new Frog-engayening agent? 🐸
From the constant launch delays to this ToS, this is now not to launch a new Fediverse project 101 lol
Correct. Fuck Microsoft/Bethesda/Zenimax/whoever the fuck it was.
I just wanted more Dishonored/Prey 😒
Make sure to download any fan songs/mashups/remixes you like off of YouTube, because if Nintendo haven't striked the fuck out of it already, they will now.
I never understand why when this happens the solution is always "cut off everyone" instead of placing Linux players in a lower trust lobby
I mean, this is nothing new.
People pirate extended support all the time, just look at LTSB/LTSC.
If ya dig enough you can probably find people Frankensteining patches from POSReady just so they can keep running Win7 lol
Addendum:
If you think about the tech stack for what an OS is, I don’t think we need to work on the lower parts of the stack [...] but we should work on innovating the user experience, because operating systems haven’t really changed for 40 years. [...] these devices have so much information on us [...] but they don’t leverage any of that information to make the experience any better.
Now this, I wholeheartedly agree.
I feel there's a looooot of room to try new, innovative, potentially even wacky user UIs and experiences, Sailfish OS and Nintype/Minuum being my favorite examples of a existing concept being done with completely fresh UX, HOWEVER
Not having to work on the lower part of the stack??? What???
If we're talking about x86, sure I guess, throw a Linux kernel on it and build whatever on top but ARM, specially on phones, looks like a compete hellscape! (to a outsider like me)
Ask any Linux phone Dev how easy it was to get the hardware going. Their heads will likely start spinning.
Could you build a new, modern mobile entirely from components with Mainline Linux support? And did this support come from the manufacturer or was it hundreds of hours of painful reverse engineering from the community?
New phone without having to work on the lower parts of the stack??? Dunno bout that man.
Check out Shelter by PeterCxy [FDroid - Source]
It uses Android's native work-profile feature to create a separate space for the apps you choose, so you could install the HSBC app there and it wouldn't be able to see anything outside its little bubble.
The downside is that AFAIK you cannot have multiple work profiles on the same phone, so if you have a MDM solution from work already installed like Intune you won't be able to use this, and given how draconian this app is, it might refuse to run if it detects its inside one. Worth a shot though.
This is the type of shit that has me losing faith in Android.
They added a fuck ton of restrictions on Clipboard Access because 'Privacy,' yet this clear privacy violation (with 0 use cases!!!) is still here.
You'd think that they'd create a permission you can toggle at will since they care about protecting you so much right?
Nope. Google's the one who decides who gets to use this capability and your wishes as a user can go to hell.
