It’s fairly important to keep it private for US citizens, see here.

From a glance at the pne64 blog there hasn’t been a mention of PinePhone since Feb 2022 though. It doesn’t appear to be particularly active on that product.

I know a guy who just says he stacks shelves at Tesco as he cannot be bothred to explain 😂

shakes head in Brexit

It’s weird they mention the C2PA but don’t link to it: https://c2pa.org/

I’m not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I’ve never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

It was handy until I realised it installs to the user profile instead of system-wide. Reverted to chocolatey.

regularise users to a proprietary intermediary management system.

I don’t understand what this means.

I’ve actually thought for a while now that a big software company should come out and say they support ReactOS for whatever their product is and advertise it like “Full, Oracle 23c DB support on ReactOS - but without the Microsoft tax.”

Yes, that’s not realistic between Oracle and MS, but it would be such a boon to ReactOS.

I can’t access that (Reddit blocked in DNS), care to summarise?

I had no idea! That’s mental.

Self host RustDesk if you need an alternative.

I just start every command with a space, don’t see the issue.

I don’t really have an answer for you here, but isn’t having the expiry pointless now if you’re going to honour an elapsed token?

The argument has become “if price X mins ago is equal to price now, honour it” - so it could have expired 10 mins ago, or 10 days ago, etc. and you’d still be honouring it, right?

So, why have an expiry at all in this scenario? The question should become, if we’re going to honour it after 5 mins, will we honour it at 10 mins? 100 days? Which? A cut off needs to be defined.

I’ll make it spin my desktop cube, force every window to move slightly so they wobble and play Louis Theroux’s lyric Jiggle Jiggle.

Why? Just because Windows uses can’t.

They’re advertising alt-cigarette products, right? Probably from their parent companies alt subsidiary.

I vaguely remember in the '90s they used to have slips like that in the UK. Can’t remember if it was advertising or things like “Collect 100 of these tokens, get a 20 pack for free!”

creating an app that essentially copped their proprietary OS

The OS hasn’t been ‘copped’. They emulated the protocol, and your lack of understanding and confusing the two has led us to having this conversation.

Because you’re confusing the difference between an OS, an application and a protocol.

This is nothing to do with the OS.

He has a point though, you haven’t refuted that.

Why? As the article states this actually lessens security for everyone (including iPhone users).
