some investors think it sounds cool so you get a short-term profit before the whole idea falls apart. or something like that.

iOS has their own attestation/anti-tamper api similar to google's integrity api so that's going to be used instead. the only difference is that on iOS you'll need to download extra software specifically for this.

graphene devs said you can do it with their sandboxed version of gms but as far as i know that still involves having an account and handing over all your personal info to google.

my entire /usr directory is just a bit above 4 gigabytes. you can put a fully featured modern operating system into that size, or you can have google's slop machine that no one asked for

ublock origin lite sadly does only a fraction of what the normal ublock origin does. no javascript blocking, no remote fonts blocking, no large media element blocking, no granular dynamic filtering in that popup panel. i guess it's still decent to block ads though, but so very crippled compared to the real deal

oudated and unmaintained software… like openrc, with a commit 3 weeks ago? or dinit with a commit 3 days ago?

installing wine with pacman doesn't allow any special access. if you run it, then it gets access to whatever the user who ran it has access to. whether you installed it with pacman or a gui wrapper doesn't matter.

as a right ctrl user, fuck you microsoft. a while back i had to get a new laptop since the last one was falling apart and having to decide based on which models don't have a slopilot key so that i can use my system normally is so annoying. and unlike other specs you can't filter by this, only hope that it's mentioned in the product description somewhere.

your clock is off because you have resistfingerprinting turned on, so it puts you into utc+0 to prevent tracking.

and you have to explicitly allow to save cookies for specific domains to not get logged out (check out the padlock icon in the status bar, there's an option to keep data for the domain you're on)

seems like i took the bait, nice one. but considering that i've met people who argued that "a linux computer can't be secure without flatpak" i'd put nothing past flatpak fans at this point.

…did that ever happen to you with healthy maintained software? i'd be quite curious to know, because it did not happen to me.

on the other hand, my image viewer doesn't need a 300 megabyte runtime and i can launch it by its name and not by "flatpak run org.whatever.softwarename". and as a bonus it's dynamically linked too.

makes using it much more convenient
