How does it work?

I don’t know what kind of architecture web.archive.org has, but when it was offline, I thought that we should really have something distributed that would allow people to store and host a copy of all websites that are important for them.

Nah, it’s still considered Personal Data under GDPR, because it’s possible to connect to natural persons. So GDPR applies. And this is illegal, there is no legal basis for processing this data.

Mostly FICSIT, though.

I hope you told them to go fuck themselves.

Release submissions should really include a description what the project is about.

This is a topic I would like to do something about. I’m not comfortable running games with full access to my home directory.

I hope someone with firejail or bubblewrap setup can share their thoughts.

Wine was first released in 1993. I hope our children are there to see the take off.

I hope this makes it easier to do TLS sniffing and security research on Android apps. A lot of developers seem to rely on no one simply looking at how much information is exposed in the APIs apps use. Currently because it’s much more difficult to sniff Android apps, a lot of privacy/security issues are not raised.

Samsung takes security almost as seriously as Google, but they deliberately cripple their devices when you unlock them to install another OS and don’t allow an alternate OS to use important security features

What does the crippling and security features refer to?

The Play Integrity API is less about security and more about Google asserting their monopoly.

They do not want truly open source Android platforms to gain popularity, because there would be a high chance people would want ad blocking, which is a direct threat to their profit margins.

I hope EU takes regulative action to force Google to allow GrapheneOS, LineageOS etc. to be able to run the same apps without issues.

Is No Man’s Sky still “a mile wide and an inch deep”? What are the basic gameplay loops?

I’m optimistic, since technical arguments can be pretty heated yet they end like this:

If you hate XCOM’s PRNG hit percentages, you may want to try or watch Hard West. It has somewhat deterministic luck mechanic, that prevents idiocy that happens in XCOM. The game itself is a bot buggy, though.

Oh, it has Denuvo. I hope they remove it later.

I miss even earlier days. Good times.

But can’t argue that I’ve been saving a lot since I can just pass every bundle now.

Can you find any links where one can read about this?

If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

And GrapheneOS has call recording btw

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately it does not seem to have automatic call recording yet:

Which apps do you mean?

You answered this already: apps that use the Play Integrity API. Includes some local banking apps, some random ones and Google Wallet. I wish app developers didn’t use those APIs, but they are probably not aware of the implications or don’t care.

I also have LineageOS 21 and Magisk 27, and WhatsApp works without issues. I don’t remember having to do anything. But I have a different phone.

Maybe the Pixel 8 LineageOS images have some issues?

Did you flash the Google apps image?
