Can you recommend some novels by him? Cheers!

There are around 20000 stars in that little 200-light-year-wide dot.

And what happens with it also depends on how people, including software developers, react to it.

How some Linux developers defeated (for now) the new OS age-verification laws. Long live those Linux developers, who “heavily criticized the mandates”, made public statements, and contacted the legislators.

Because other Linux developers, instead, immediately bent over backwards to start implementing changes towards accommodating those laws; for sure they didn’t heavily criticize the mandates, nor make public statements, nor contact the legislators.

You beat me in quoting this fascinating passage! :)

Great read, thanks to the poster for sharing.

It was as you said! Thank you so much for explaining the difference and showing the commands 🙏 I wonder how I managed to install user-side on one laptop, since the standard flatpak install ... (without sudo) seems to install system-side anyway. But now I’ve managed to have an identical setup :)

Agree, and other bands and composers have used and use microtones. I’m just happy that, thanks to the popularity of this duo, other bands and music systems will also receive more interest. That’s a positive side.

There’s always some exaggeration or downright ignorance coming from different sides, unfortunately…

Sharing similar music is of course interesting.

But this is a community for fans. Discussions about the technical skills, production volume, or whatever of other bands are welcome, as long as they’re made in a non-disparaging way. I think one has the right to be a fan of something or someone, and to enjoy its popularity if that happens.

Of course you have the right not to like something or not to agree with its popularity. But If your point is to be disparaging, it probably makes more sense to create a community for similarly-minded people: you can criticize the band or its popularity there as much as you like without offending one another.

Thanks – my fault using the wrong way to link to the community! Fixed now.

Yeah, it’s because my brain has only two neurons and both were still used to listen to them, sorry. Fixed now!

What a job! Thanks for the info!

My post obviously begged for this. Iron lung and lotion – what a combination!

You’ve read the stances of all different people. I agree with most and I’m a bit more conservative: I switch to a LTS (even-numbered) release only when its main non-LTS (odd-numbered) upgrade is out; and skip all non-LTS.

I agree. I’ll actually contact the national Consumer Policies department and ask if this is at all legal.

Indeed I wonder if that kind of keyboard check is even legal - personally I feel it as a breach of my privacy, none of their fucking business what kind of input method I use. (If anyone here is knowledgeable about such matters, please let me know!)

I’ve been having similar turd-kind encounters with bank apps even within Android. I use the egregious Heliboard from F-droid, and my bank app refused to start because I use an “untrusted keyboard” – funny as it’s way more trustworthy that Gboard or Microslop board apps. Turns out the apps of all banks in my country are like that. So now I simply access the bank via the browser instead. Fuck their apps.

But I understand that the browser solution may not work for everyone :(

Partly this problem comes from incompetence of the app’s developers, partly for shifting responsibility: it seems to me that they let Play Store do the checks, so if any hacking happens they can blame Play Store. And there’s also the modern motto: “if you want to make an app secure, make it unusable”. Even better I’d then say “don’t make it at all”! – there, security-problem fully solved.

Put pressure on banks would be best. Possibly one could also play a “disability” card: I must use such-and-such app or OS owing to visual impairment, say. Or collect signatures for a petition… but I imagine we’re a very small minority.

As a protest in my case I changed bank a couple of times.

But thank you for the USB-ADB tip! I’ll use it when I switch to GrapheneOS.

Could you post this on the privacy community? I had never heard about this arsehole.
