Not if you ask them but taking the time to design a system that isn’t reliant on a strong client (and then open sourcing it) would probably be more secure, and obviously more inclusive.
For instance, I’m very eager to switch to a lknux phone but having blockers like this is forcing me to stay on Android, even though I am sick and tired or the enshittification.
Or even run the app as is on a “non-compliant” os - like a rooted android.
What I meant was that the phone operating system has SDKs (e.g. google services on android) which the app uses to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with, which makes it even harder to make an open source client.
It’s the opposite of supplying an SDK for third party developers.
They are using the phone SDKs to verify that BankID was correctly installed, much like any other client side DRM.
I think you mean cue, not queue.
Because that is the only valid date format, ever, everywhere. There are just too many of them in this graph.
My kids started playing now so I “have to” “teach” them how to play.
Oh I didn’t realize it was from the article because there is no source!
This graph is useless without a source. We don’t know how the data was collected or how many data points are included (or discarded). This is probably just lying with statistics 101.
#unexpectedfactorial Luckily 2 = 2!
That’s not how pricing works. They already have the price they think makes them the most money. Raising prices means losing customers to competition, netting a loss.
So they would just lose 1000 customers and not raise the price because that would mean an even higher loss.
It’s different, of course when including that all ISPs would be hit with this. One can only speculate what will happen. All those pirates will want alternative ISPs, probably paying extra for privacy. The rest will stay in a dying market where competition for the remaining customers would be fierce, probably with lower prices.
The pro version of OsmAnd is free on fdroid!
I use Vespucci, it’s advanced but still pretty easy if you just want to do basic editing. https://vespucci.io/
P.s. how do you link to an app on fdroid?
But you can also just flag it if editing is not your cup of tea. Here’s a convenient, non-techy tool to add notes for others to use when editing: https://www.onosm.org/
It’s a way to donate money without donating money. Basically a money laundering scheme.
It’s even worse when you can tell they really tried and still end up with spaghetti. Even mid- to senior developers do this. Rhe more senior they claim to be are, the more embarrasing when you have to get the stick.
Some people try to be so clever with fancy design patterns or bit-tricks, instead of just solving the problem, you now have two problems and a solution to one of them.
Interesting typo. Almost like a Freudian slip but with melting batteries instead.
It has similarities though, as pointed out in orher comments. For one, a user might be more careful with downvotes if they are afraid of negative consequences e.g. harassment. With piblic votes, there would therefore be a bias towards upvotes and and people abstaining from downvotes, i.e. less interaction in total.
Downvotes serve a purpose today, letting us quickly scan which comments are controversial or even harmful to the conversation. I, for one, usually sort most threads by votes and then skip the comments with many downvotes but for controversial topics, I instead seek out the comments that have both many upvotes and downvotes.
These would be harder to find given the above bias.
Sex is very normal though. Just to make an argument here: what if sex had been banned altogether in the media when you were an impressionable child. How would that have worked out for you?
My guess is not better.
